    Swapping from a R154 to a A340E

    I had a tranny shop build my a340e for about 3k. They are warrantying it for 3 years/75k miles up to 500whp. You could also go with a kit:http://www.importperformancetrans.com/index.php?l=product_list&c=174 or an already built tranny: http://www.importperformancetrans.com/toyotaauto.shtml...

    car is dumping white smoke.

    I dont want to keep beating a dead horse, but... for 180 bux more than the stock HG you can have an HKS mhg...and then you take the head off yourself...bring it to a machine shop and for another couple hundred...max...you have it machined and the head rebuilt. To me, spending the extra 4-500...

    car is dumping white smoke.

    If you are going to use the stock HG, I have an OEM one sitting at home (I put in an HKS Metal gasket) that you can have if you pay shipping (and if I can actually find it in my piles of supra parts). That's if the car fails a leak down test and you go the ebay gasket route. IMO, if you are...

    The hp of the 7mgte

    To the OP Like many others have said...decide what your goals are...and what realistically will you be using the car and the HP for. I stuck with the 7m cause I knew i would never race. Instead I drive my supra as a summer daily. With about 4 to 5k invested in parts and bolt-on's for the...

    Tune or No Tune??? Help!!!

    Get an afpr, fuel pump upgrade, and a wideband before the safc IMO. Read my current setup on my sig link if you like. I'm running 50 trim, fuel upgrades (550's with lex afm), and support mods and I run great w/o tuning or a piggyback.

    Summer Daily Driver Build

    Hey. I'm glad my supra has peaked your interest. As for the a/f gauge mini project...a dremol (spelling) tool this would have been a lot easier. It was a lot of cutting and drilling..kinda of a pain.

    Gran Turismo 5, anyone?

    I was also surprised that it did sound similar to my car on start up. On throttle sounds different...but I just told myself (to make me feel better) that it's probably cause its got upgraded intake/exhaust manifolds and a different exhaust than mine ;)

    Gran Turismo 5, anyone?

    So...the Supra Turbo A 3.0 GT maxes out at the top end of 500 crank hp... Too bad the fully built motor and the mods in GT5 can't push the car to keep up with NashMans', TekDeus' (sorry spelling), and others who are putting down 550+rwhp on stock blocks....I love the game, just wish they would...

    From a Dig? Or a Roll?

    Either is not so great for me, anything under 40mph my rear end brakes loose (I need wider tires). Now, a 40-75 roll on the highway...that's a different story because my car is a beast and would eat most of the stuff out there (shy of new mustangs and higher performance). But I would guess I...

    Best sounding/performance Exhaust System for MA70 7MGTE Supra's

    If you don't want loud, but good performance, I have 3" turbo back with an HKS sport exhaust, with the duel pipes. Looks close to stalk, until you get close and see that each pipe is 2" instead of 1". Sounds really aggressive under low and WOT..and in the middle sounds like a low grumble. Cops...

    Lets play the guessing game

    How did you do? I'm guessing since it's a stock auto, you pulled 14.25ish... Nevermind, saw your other post pulling 13.8...nice work!

    Sticky wastegate?

    Yesterday had the boost set nicely so that it's peak was at 14.5. Driving the supra around today and it started hitting 16.8ish. Which is a little out of my comfort zone w/o tuning. The AF's were still in the 10's which at least means it's not running lean...but still... So I started lowering...

    Hitting fuel cut at 9 psi

    Okay. I have an automatic. Do you hit fuel cut between shifts? Or during gear? If you get it between shifts, this is because with all automatics, you will spike boost between gears while keeping throttle from half to WOT. If during a gear and under throttle...it's probably a boost leek...or...

    Valve Covers Leaking

    Hey everyone. It appears that I'm leaking about a quart of oil a month out of the driver side of the valve covers. How common is this? How serious is this? and what's the best solution? I drive the supra about 500 miles/week. Thanks.

    Almost got it handed to me...

    I don't know...I usually ignore any honda civic or the like...it's either I'm going to totally spank them cause its a riced out pos...or they will totally spank me cause they put a lot of money under the hood and actually knew what there were doing.... In my experience...it's never close...so I...
