i think that perhaps because it still has most of the same symptoms as leaky valve stem seals i might go thru and change all of them out. my engineeing shop put them in for me when they did the headwork and if one was seated wrong or faulty i figure more could be also. It isnt obvious by the...

no clue ive only ever bought or used exeddy and had no dramas. as long as its a reputable brand im assume it will be much the same

Exeddy do a great range of clutches. they do a standard replacement as well as a "heavy duty" standard type with about 30% better grip than normal whilst retaining drive-ability . after that u move up to cushion button and brass button clutches. they are harder to use and probably don't last as...

Hey guys, ive got an issue with my 7m. Ive finished building it up and it runs great and is extremely powerful except it consumes oil. somewhere in the order of 500-1000ml per 1000km. That seems like quite a bit imo. The symptoms are puffs of oil smoke on start up and when taking off from a...

ive got a gt35 the same as yours on my 7m. .82ar internal waste gate. Starts spooling at around 1700rpm and reaches a good level of boost and goes nuts after about 3000-3500. I did have super slow spool times but that was because i didn't have the actuator arm pulled tight enough on the waste...

hey yeah still running factory ecu. which is pretty good, i havent yet had to change out to after market management, It handles all the mods pretty well. It has a fuel cut defender so i can run higher boost and im using an apexi avc-r boost controller although im just running .8bar on the turbos...

Ya my Turbo A had the special ct-26 on it when i got it and was supposedly making 350rwhp @ 15psi. Felt like it.... but then failure and rebuild and discovered engine had consumed all oil through turbo and turbo rear housing was destroyed. so i went to gt3582r

Hey Wiseco. Its running awesome. With accusump and all other oil gear in its seeing awesome pressures. The overheating issue was caused by my old blocked catalytic converter causing the turbine housing on the turbo to heat up all my oil and water. With the new cat and inter cooler its making...

my interior looks to be more of a grey than black from the original pecies that are still left. A medium sort of grey on the center console and roof liner with a dark grey dash. What about u wiseco? Its probably just the update in the colors between the pre and post facelift models or something...

I have a book about the history of toyota celica and supra and it also states like everywhere else ?Ive read that there were supposedly only 500 made but I'm sure that a give or take kind of number. I would have loved to have left mine standard but it was already quite modified when I bought it...

Some other interesting things are that the car doesnt have a 180kmph speed limiter ;) The only change to the ECU that is obvious is a HKS fuel cut defender. Also it has the "serial killer" door locking at 20ish kmph feature. Do other turbo A owners have the same features on theirs. Wiseco? Very...

Did the pre facelift Turbo A's youve found in search all have the wide body and new nose like post facelift non turbo A models?

Its a real bummer its missing so many of its original bits and pieces in the interior and etc. Ive modified it so much now it would be near impossible to restore it to original. Also the special turbo A rear housing for the ct26 was cracked and destroyed. I have replaced it with a gt3582r...

wow that is super cool. I'm pretty excited about the car. Its my true love (lets hope fiancee doesn't read this :p) Like I said the backstory behind this car is pretty unique. Perhaps its Toyota prepped it up in advance for promo reasons?

here is the plate and my engine bay because im proud of it ;) considering it started out as this :o

Cool Jeff thanks. sorry for accidentally thread jacking

Are u guys looking at the photobucket piccies i have put up over the past year or something? ill go snap a photo of that plate

Yeah it seems to be different to a lot of other turbo A's Ive viewed online. There are some interesting old stickers on it from TRD and up the side it reads "GROUP A" instead of "TURBO A". It has some really awesome history also. Was brought over to AUS when it was brand new by Toyota and then...

Here is a piccy of my engine block and yes. It is the newer type block. My bad on that one :p

It must be somewhere around there. JDMMA70 Is yours an ma70 or ma71 model? Im going to assume ma70 due to ur name :p Mine is an 88 "turbo A" model. I don't know what month though. Its model number says its an ma70 and it has the old style block and 6m crank although it also has the different...
