    Diff. between Mk3 and MK4 engine?

    This to all the real Supra techs. What was changed about the Mk4 engine by Toyota to gain HP and relyability. On the outset they both seem to be close in specs?? 3.0 liter 24 valve head both turbo (although the Mk4 is twin turbo that should only improve throttle response maybe no). Is...

    N/A intake manifold flows better than Turbo manifold

    In my humble opinion- yes it might all things being equal (both used on a Naturaly aspirated engine) however with the turbo being able to create a positive pressure in the intake side this difference does not come into play---

    Under drive Crank Pulley

    What is the general consensus on these? Was looking at the Unorthordox Racing crank pulley. Now from what I can find seem there are those that say that they are fine no problems (Old school Supra website) then there are those that say NEVER use one (Sonic Supras webpage). A search of this...

    rear hatch leak

    Had the same problem with mine-it was coming in at the top of the taillight because the gasket was rotted away. Now this was on the jack side. The other side it leaked around the antena. You would be amazed at how much water can come thru a tiny hole during heavy rain. The lip around the hatch...

    Getting at the ECU

    I find myself needing to do a knock sensor rewire (code 52). Have gotten the wire and am willing to remove the intake manifold to get at the knock sensors. How hard is it to get to the ECU (to run the new knock sensor wire) the TRSM is not clear on this. Thanks for your tips. Cheers, PS...

    rear hatch leak

    If your getting water in the pockets where the jack goes it is coming in around your tail light - the gasket has dried out letting water in remove the tail light and replace the gasket. The leak is at the top of the tail light where the water runs down around the tail light. Now on the...

    Stainless steel turbo manifold

    There are 3 or 4 of these currently on Ebay ranging from $149 to $400. Is there much gain to be had from these. Just looking, they apear to be better flowing than the stock item maybe this is not so. Anybody use one of these? Are there issues with fitting etc.? Is there much improvment in HP?

    Carpet Heel Pad?

    Carpet in my 87T 5sp is orig. and the heel pad has become unglued. It looks like some type of white epoxy was used by the factory. In any case what type of glue could you use to anchor this back down? Any suggestions are appreciated. Cheers,

    mobil 5000 synthetic??

    Correct, 1500 mile changes definitly will not hurt, however it is truly overkill. 3000 intervals is still more than needed. Toyota says every 5000 for the 7M-GTE or every 6 mos. Oh and yes 20-50 is stated for most temp. ranges. This is all from the Toyota TRSM and owners manual. I change...

    Damn sunroof is leaking...

    I also live in Fla. (central Fla.) my Supra leaks at the back corner of the sunroof on the drivers side (drips) and when you apply the brakes you get a waterfall out the front corner on both sides. Using spray silicone on the rubber slowed things down but did not stop it. This car also has...
