    Fuel Pulsation Damper & Turbo Oil Feed Question

    The problem with undoing the oil lines from the turbo is that the gasket is a bit unique and special compared to the ones on the block, and a leak there sucks ass. I used and extension to a swivel, then another extension to get around the turbo to take those nuts off.

    Fuel Pulsation Damper & Turbo Oil Feed Question

    The feed is the banjo, the large pipe (the drain) has a flange with 2 studs on the block. You can see what I mean here: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=TC&P=9 The FPD I think I might have taken an adjustable wrench to. I know it sucks but my tools are fairly...

    Well, it does IIRC, but it's just a simple black strip.

    Fuel Pulsation Damper & Turbo Oil Feed Question

    Remove the other end on the fuel pulsation dampener (I didn't disturb the fuel rail parts at all IIRC), and leave the oil and coolant lines attached to the turbo. With the bango bolt off the feed on the block and the 2 nuts off the drain it will slide right off with the turbo.

    Which motor 2JZ GTE or 2JZ GE?

    Josh is running E85 and I THINK hot was running meth injection. Pump gas alone won't get you there on the high compression. The ignition system is another big thing to work out, as the GTE isn't wasted spark. You're getting better engine management going with the GTE, but if you go full...

    To sell, or not to sell.

    Well, think of it this way, if it's not enough money you'll regret selling and end up buying another in short order... If it's a great price, then you can dump the money into the other car LOL

    Which motor 2JZ GTE or 2JZ GE?

    Keep in mind you will need to modify the 7M wiring harness to go 2JZGE NA-T. Might be better to sell the wiring harness, but it's up to you. On the flip side, if you go 2JZ-GTE then you'll have the stock turbos to take care of. In your case the lower compression in the GTE might really...

    Universal Molding

    The molding on a MKII is very basic and isn't the main body line of the car like it is on the MKIII as well, making it far easier to get it to look decent.

    To sell, or not to sell.

    Price needs to be something you can't say no to, especially if you're semi-attached to the car.

    Is Supra right for me?

    At best it's an 18 year old "sports" car, as such it's going to act like it. $4K is very little to spend on a sports car of any kind. The cheaper the buying price of the car is usually the more money that's going to need to be dumped into it to make it reliable. Even if it's a low milage $10K...

    Anyone done an aluminum driveshaft on the cheap?

    I was a bit hard on you as well, but a driveshaft failure is NOT what you want to happen at 100MPH+ Also, for a road course, you're not going to have lag on a stock turbo if you have all the normal upgrades, but you will be underpowered with an NA... Not knocking you, just stating a fact...

    Anyone done an aluminum driveshaft on the cheap?

    LS1 f-body = under 3.0 gear ratio (something like a 2.93 or a 2.73 IIRC) NA MKIII Supra = 4.10 gear ratio They both have around the same size wheels. On a 4x4 truck the wheels are much larger which will lower driveshaft speeds. There was a reason Toyota used a 2 piece driveshaft on these...

    How to "Out Hommer" Hommer!

    It's still foam, you can see him applying filler to it. While the end result is nice and it's a valid way to make a prototype, I wouldn't drive it LOL
