This may be a silly question, but, do you have any boost leaks? My bro's MK4 was hitting fuel cut b/c one of his IC piping wasn't strapped on tight enough etc etc...

The cost for me to rebuild my head with a HKS MHG at Toyota was about 1500 with parts included. They were very good to me, and I used to know the head mechanic there. Save up and get that taken care of so I can see more out on the road!

Hello Reiketsukan. I have you're basic setup...except I have a 50 trim turbo. I hit fuel cut at 11psi, and it happens as the auto is shifting from 2nd to third on WOT. Before the boost controller, I used to let off the throttle a tad as the auto shifted, and this would avoid fuel cut. Now I...

Silver pre89 NA, female driven on Elm St., in Manchester Red 89+ at Hervey's tire in Rochester, NH (hope it's not broke) Only 2 mk3's I've seen in NH this summer, both within 24hours of eachother!!!

True...but typically, it's going to be less than it's rated "depending drive train/axle setup etc etc" And it's going to be different from car to car, even same make/model likely too...15% loss in hp from crank to standard tranny to rear wheels is ballpark

Standard subtract ~15%....so 550*.85= 467.5 at the wheels...depending drive train/axle setup etc etc.

The turbo has 10k on it, but its 3 years old, running on a 1 year warranty. So the coverage expired. I'll double check the valve gaskett, but I don't remember seeing oil there when I was looking for where the "oil smell" was coming from. I was thinking of having toyota diagnose the...

Jack at suprasport sells a random technology cat that I use/like very much. 3" in "3 out. http://www.suprasport.com/RT-High-Flow-Metallic-Substrate-Cat_p_17.html

Typically, I've read and been told that oil in the IC piping (pooled oil) means that the turbo seal went and the turbo needs rebuilding/replacing. I just spoke with the company that sold me the 50 trim upgraded turbo and they said that the turbo is likely bad, but they want to check it out for...

It's good to see we're all in the same boat together... My first born is due in 7 months...i'm pretty sure that my priorities will change drastically by then...and if they don't my wife will have my balls in a vice! haha I'm going to stick to my 5 year supra plan and hope it gets done before...

Yeah it was Liberty Mutual insurance plan I grandfathered into via marriage. They don't do this policy anymore unless you maintain the policy. It worked out for me in this case, saved me thousands of dollars... The goals are still the same...although I have been working on doing the...

BoV install incorrect:One of the members said the BoV is installed incorrectly. I'll be looking into this...prob switch vaccuum lines etc etc. On testing, it does not seem to let out air when engine is given throttle. The picture below shows what the recirc valve is hooked up to. Any quick...

I had an MK3 when I was 17 and I could barely keep it on the road, so...I understand where you're coming from...you'll get the income someday to do what you want... My purchase price was 5k (too much for what I got 1k miles later...a nice car with a blown motor). New Motor + needed engine...

Hey everyone. I am running the numbers of my investment for my auto appraisal coming up probably next year, and am shocked on how much I'll have spent when the project is "finished." For me, it's looking to be about $30k. How much have you spent? Reply so that I feel better!!! hahaha I know...

you & your support is welcome!

Welcome to the site man, I read your other build thread, I would say investing in the body/exterior/interior is good for now, but don't dump any money into the engine performance until you do the swap..just my .02

Alex from Ballistics? My brother was in there the other day...I hear you have like a 3 month waiting period on tuning... but I hear you're one of the best when it comes to the 2jz's...have you done a lot of mk3's?

Welcome back!! Well...most of the ones I've seen with that mileage go from 4k to 6k in NH. I bought mine for 5500 from SC, just before the headgasket went lol...so be sure to check for that. Portable compression tester or take it to a dealer etc etc. If the head goes, plan on spending 1...

Here is a rear view of mine. Targa fits in nicely over, but no room for a spare. Rebuild trunk deck with heavy duty plywood with sub recessed in about 2 inches. I like the look, and to remove for whatever reason is 4 bolts.

Yeah, I could be in Concord or Manchester...anyone else?
