Hey everyone I have a quick question how do you install the marlin crawler urethane shifter bushing on the R154? It didn’t come with any instructions and honestly I didn’t think it would give me a problem but obviously since I am typing this something didn’t work out as planned. I thought it...

Is there a way to determine the year a part was built? The reason why i ask this is because i finally dropped the auto tranny to swap in the manual and it looks new. I then asked my father in law who i got the car from and he told me that when he bought it he was told that the tranny was new...

So I have a quick question how important is the CT26 to exhaust manifold brace/stay (part number 17118). Can the car be ran without it or would it just cause problems. I am not trying to be cheap but am having a hard time finding one I posted in the wanted section 2 weeks ago with no replies...

Alright once again I look to the more knowledgeable members to answer a question for me. I was always taught that while more air getting to the engine is a good thing that it is more beneficial to be pulling colder air from outside the engine bay. However, I have never owned a turbo’d vehicle...

So I was curious about why pre 89 square motor mounts can’t be used on post 89 cars? I have read this several times and it keeps coming back to short screws. However, if one changed to longer screws would it be possible and if so what are the benefits/disadvantages of doing this? The reason...

So I have a quick drive shaft question. What part or parts of the DS is different between an auto and manual? The reason I ask is I have 2 DS’s the auto one appears almost new no damage, rust, or wear of any kind that I can see and the carrier bearing looks to be in perfect condition. Whereas...

Hey everyone I was just looking for some opinions here. What options are there for upper hard pipes for a stock intercooler to the throttle body (eliminate the 3000 pipe)? I like the Lipp one but believe it is around 400 dollars for just that 1 pipe (and based on reviews and comments not sure...

Hey guys and gals do any of you recommend a good VIN decoder site? Just out of curiosity I wanted to check the VIN on my car to see what information I could come up with. While it stated most information correct such as Toyota Supra RWD it had some other information I wasn’t really sure on...

Hey guys got a question. I am finishing up my redo of the rear hatch fixing rust and replacing seals. I started inspecting some of the engine components I received with the car and noticed that there was an oil like residue (which I assume is oil) coating the inside of the turbo. The turbo...

Ok all, time for another question this one is in regard to flywheels or specifically lightened compared to stock on a daily driver. What are the advantages or disadvantages of using a lightened flywheel on a DD. I understand that it produces more power to the wheels. However, I would believe...

Alright guys and gals again I come to you for your formidable information. I have a dilemma. First some background info I received a car (89 supra turbo manual with targa top) minus engine and trany along with a turbo engine and auto trany (was told 89 as well) project car from my father in...

Ok, so I will be dropping my gas tank shortly to weld in a patch in the spare tire well. I figured this would be a great time to replace the fuel filter but I am also thinking that it would be a good time to add a Walbro fuel pump for future upgrades as well. However, I know people say not to...

Okay I have a totally noob question :3d_frown:. Is there a way to see what has been done to an engine such as head gasket composition etc. without ripping it apart? The only reason I ask is the engine donor I got has a little under 100k on it and ran strong from what I was told from my father...

All right guys and gals I have yet another question this one has to do with ride height. I currently have stock (TEMS) suspension with 245 tires. I am thinking about doing some drop springs (eibach) and tokico Illumina (I think) shocks with tires between 245 and 215 depending on what fits and...

Well I found some rust in the rear hatch area of my supra the other day and cleaned it out to the best of my ability. The damage was mostly surface with one spot a little smaller then a dime right near the rear drain plug in the spare tire well that rusted through. I was unsure exactly how the...

Hey guys I have a question as I have been going through my engine bay I noticed several hoses (larger diameter not the vacuum ones) that need to be replaced. What if any are our options for hoses? One hose I need is like 47 dollars and another was 36 from the dealer. I found a Samco kit but...

Well it finally happened my car was delivered on Saturday. The car is an early 89 supra (built Nov 88) targa top turbo model. The car was a project vehicle my father-in-law bought intending to get to it after his other projects but then switched modes to a 35 ford. I’ve spent the last few...

I have a quick question about what affects/advantages running with no front lip, stock lip, or aftermarket lip with holes is. I would think that running no lip or one with holes would be better as it would decrease drag (minimally) while getting more air to the engine to cool it off. However...

Hey guys i posted this in the Transmission section but didn't get any replies so i moved it here as this seems to get more viewers. I did a quick search and found some information but im still not sure on what all is needed. The car i purchased is being delivered in about a week. It was a...

Hey guys I just had a quick question are the covers on the 7M-GTE there for aesthetics or for protection? Reason I am asking is that I have been seeing a lot of pics with them off and not sure if it makes a difference operationally or not (or if they are just being removed for the pics). This...
