If you can get a hold of a multi-meter there's a simple test procedure in the TSRM for when a code 27 is displayed. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=FI&P=121

A code 27 indicates the there is an open or short in the sub-oxygen sensor. Did you plug the second oxygen sensor back in after you removed the cats(which really should be there in a population dense area like LA)? A non-fouler mod will not get rid of a code 27.

If it's any repair manual, other than one of these (TSRM), it's inaccurate and can mislead you. And if it's a Chilton's, burn it. They screwed up so much stuff in that one.

Yeah, unfortunately this is California, everything is exceptionally expensive. My 92 supra is $186 per year in registration and taxes. When I got the car I had to fix a BHG and get it smoged before I could title it. I was four months out/over on the registration and after all the late fees(of...

Awww. I missed that cat. Welcome back.

No you don't need to worry about them being coaxial. All it means is that there are two speakers along the same linear drive axis(one is built into the other). The connection is the same as a regular speaker.

The R154 you are getting should already have the ABS sensor in it. It is plug'n'play with the body side harness on your car. No need to worry about it. Yeah, the driftmotion cable is for R154 transmissions that came from JZA70's to give them ABS capability.

There is a fill port on the front of the compressor housing. So to properly drain it your would have to remove the turbo, and turn it with the front of the compressor facing down. The thing uses a wick, similar to the wick that your typical Zippo Lighter uses to draw fluid up. It pulls the low...

Yeah, you can. However oil that comes into contact with the bearings never returns to the resivour. So there is no need to change it. You do in theory need to top it off every now and then. But of the few I have seen and been used, non were in need. This is probably the biggest reason they...

Ah, Aerochargers, I remember first reading about them in a little book called Maximum Boost by Corky Bell. Those turbochargers are a pretty unique piece of engineering. They don't actually use oil cycled by the engine. They have a reservoir of turbine oil, that is why the compressor housing...

Most likely to support the regenerative breaking system, the Supra HV-R used a capsitor based regenerative braking system. And in a hybrid system an electric motor fills both roles of motor/generator. Not to mention 13 hp is a bit deceptive for an electric motor because the torque grows massive...

You have to be careful with this. On motors that just have a pulley it's fine. But on motors like ours that have a harmonic dampener with a rubber isolation ring like the 7M, heating it up like that can cause the rubber to fail. Not something you want to happen if you're say, at a high RPM.

You make good points. It's more or less the inclusion of Tetsuya Tada as a lead(unavoidable I know) that bothers me. I agree less and less with him every time he does an interview. Perhaps it is my American sensibilities concerning car design philosophy coming through, but I don't believe...

Sorry, but I believe they are very much NOT on our wave length. Or at least Tetsuya Tada, the man tasked with designing the next Supra is not. He has been known to be very against forced induction, and has on more than one occasion illustrated his particular dislike of turbochargers(calling the...

Eww.... You loaded up Win 8. :stickpoke Sadly I haven't been able to get into a Mech game since the original Mechwarrior series. Been on the fence about giving this one a try though.

To be honest it shocked the shit out of me that you even posted them at all. After all the iterations of this site I can't remember having seen them before. I knew you were an engineer in a previous life but never knew what kind.

Where the hell did you work? I was an Intermediate level Aviation Electronics Tech in the Navy as well. I was 2M certified and worked in Shop 69B/C for those that don't know the B side of 69B/C preformed rework on avionics circuitry after other shops preformed the troubleshooting process. So I...

Crimping seems to have taken on a evil mythos of its own. Not surprising when you consider the type of crimps typically available at the places the OP listed above.

Very impressive Jeff, you would have made an awesome supra owner, but I think the rolla needed you more. Well done. And you're one of the few people I know that has a bigger thing for OEM goodies than I do. I can't stop drooling at all the new boxes.

Most solder wire for electronic assemblies is rosin core. If it says this it has flux in it. If you need more then like Nick said Radio Shack is your best bet.
