I replaced the coil, the wire & the injector as stated in the 1st post.....with no improvement. Had the same thoughts...

OK, mic'ed up the #1 cylinder: Top ring end gap - 0.559 mm 2nd ring - 0.584 mm oil ring - 1.143 mm (oil rings have little tension against the bore) bore thrust side top 3.2695" mid 3.2680 bottom 3.2685 bore pin axis top 3.2680 mid 3.2690 bottom 3.26855 bore @ tensioner level 3.2685" @ 36ft#...

This is what I found upon pulling the #1 piston. I was meticulous in orienting the end-gaps properly & double-checking each piston as I loaded it into the ring compressor for installation. I've never seen this happen before...I know the rings can migrate some initially. But how does this occur...

Well, pulled the engine & #1 piston. Everyone was wrong (me included). Pix coming...

I bought a 57 trim ct26 from a member who was running it at the time. When he pulled it off, there were chips out of the impeller, so he sent along a new one. From the forums, I gather that you can balance it for me? What would it cost, how to ship, what parts are needed from the turbo...

Damn! No wonder I'm in trouble here - I thought it was 39 ft-lb...!

LOL @ Poodles! HVYMAN - thanks for the reminder...comp was 150 in 3 cylinders & 175 in the others; so not isolated low in #1. IJ.....I'll take pix (sigh)

I noticed a low speed miss leaving the office, & checked the plugs when I got home: (click the image to expand) #1 was oil-fouled severely & the rest were clean. The #3 head cover was replaced w/ drain plug gaskets & the gallery is dry - no oil on exposed part of plug nor the threads...

25% is acceptable - 40% is suspect....HOWEVER make sure that when you bring the piston to TDC that you stop on the upstroke or the rings may not seal & you'll get a false high percentage reading. A long phillips head screwdriver makes a good indicator if you place it in the sparkplug hole. You...

GREAT!...Right after I bought Koni's. I searched Everywhere for the TEMS II's & struck out....haven't even put the Koni's on yet. NOW what to do??? Wonder how long it will take to get them??

Power by max says they only sell their own stuff.... :(

The news I heard from THMotorsports, is that the US distributor is in bankruptcy & that's why we can't get the TEMS shocks. Has anyone found a non-US source? Supra girl?

nice! I have one of the universal kits, but none of the pipes were shaped like the #1 vertical hose....I think I'm gonna sell the uni kit & buy the specific one.

Found a stock intercooler piping kit: http://www.cxracing.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CXR&Product_Code=KIT-7MGTE-STOCK-SET&Category_Code=Supra-MK3 Pretty good deal considering the cost of ONE hose.....

Nothing like that has popped up in my searching

agree w/ not to far from normal at full boost - but this was at NO boost.. :( I looked at the silicone hoses but didn't care for 'em either.

Hope these show:

Noticed AFR 9.5 on an uphill grade & traced it to a blown bypass valve. Replaced it w/ a Porsche 110 valve - Problem Solved........not. Test drive up the same grade & 9.5 again! Pressure testing the intake end-to-end, I could hear a leak but couldn't find it; even w/ a smoking candle...

Saw that u had ' 88 bumper lip(s)... Still have 'em? What would u take to get one to CA, 95124? TNX David

When u use a MHG w/o a mirror-finish (no, u can't do this at home), they always leak - slowly at 1st. It's been leaking for 3999 mi...that's why the 'waterfall' sound from the heater, and the slow loss of coolant w/o any visible leak. Definitely research here under BHG & MHG & you'll learn a...
