There can't be another Ij, there's only enough room on the island for one! Luckily, we've got ours, that's all we can handle..

Don't drive it till you figure out exactly what is wrong and fix it. If it is rod knock, that means your bearings are fubar'd and need to be replaced. This entails pulling the motor and taking it apart. While your in there I would also personally do quite a bit of other general maintenance and...

make sure your bov isn't taking a vacation, too.

Pressure test the coolant system first, if that's good, then try a block test, compression test and leak down. This should give you the answers you're looking for. Of course hopefully its just a coolant system leak letting in pirate air...gl.

I'm quite sure the actual clutches are pretty similar. The fan itself has 3 more blades however. (10 vs. 7 iirc) It should move appropriately more air with the extra compliment of blades I'd imagine. Hence, lower temps...

Wow, that car is beyond pristine.:aigo: If we lived in a perfect world, we'd all have cars like that and gas would be $1 a gallon to boot. A most excellent paint job, Toyota never made 'em like that!! damn fine job man.

I'd look for a decent turbo car. It's a bit of a hassle to do the n/a-t conversion. Not to say lots of members haven't done it successfully, but it's just more work. If you can find a decent GTE with a blown engine, you could spend the $1500 building that and the rest is already there... like...

Common problem on these cc's. I'm quite sure the part # for the resistor is: 87138-24030. gl.

Do you have a wideband to check a/f's? You are now allowing approx. 25% more air in with the stock inj.'s. This could skew your ratios and make it go lean in theory. Detonation is bad, mm'kay...If you're gonna keep using the Lex, I'd consider some 550's which are the usual formula for that...

What are your mods? Manual or Auto? When did it spool previously? I'd check for codes, and do a leak test first. Go from there. Ensure your timing is spot on. gl.

Sounds like it's within norms relatively. You could clean your isc if you're troubled about it, but as long as your temps rise to normal fast and don't overheat you should be golden with those #'s.

Damm, that's fricken awesome. Love to see some still pics of that thing, it went by too fast to check it out. heh. Beautious e.t. man! gj.

I have a nice recovered one, if you would like it. Or you can do it yourself, it's about 6 hrs sewing, though. Btw, I'm in New West if you want to have a look at them, I've got two.

I was just thinking passenger's seats so you don't have to deal with the motors and shit...they are pretty straitforward iirc, I have a spare passengers seat as I put the ttr Recaros in mine...I'll have a look when I get home to see how hard it would be to remove the h'ware. gl.

Couldn't you pull apart a couple of junker Supra passenger seats and use the sliders and frames off of them? That way you wouldn't have to deal with too much custom...just weld or bolt them to the seats, after pulling off the old hardware?

this link is good for general performance issues: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16&highlight=upgrade I'd look at upgraded suspension and brakes.. ie coilovers, swaybars, bushings, etc. if you want it to handle better in the mts. once they're dialed in, MkIII's handle quite...

Beautiful car! Just out of curiosity, why do you have a "twin turbo" badge on the front? Anyways, I'd kind of like to take that car for a cruise with a German hooker too! heh. Sounds like that shop owner should be test fitted for a new law suit. I'd get a new cai and a nice 3" dp and exhaust for...

I'd keep looking for a fellow 'mania local to take the car to. For the kind of prices you've been quoted, you could get a complete rebuild with forged internals, and swap too. Perhaps you'd be one of the lucky people who could just slap an oem gasket on and get another 100k, but that scenario...

five MKII's, 4 MkIII's. Just one black '90T now.

I was using a manifold made by a member on here, it used a 1UZ tb from a Lexus. It had provision for isc, no csi, had to relocate the alternator, no provision for a/c, used the stock tps. If a manifold could be made plug and play while using all the factory sensors, cruise, retain a/c, maybe...
