    VSV help needed!

    VSV: Vacuum Solenoid Valve From what I understand, the one that hooks up to the EGR controls when the EGR is actually working. Reference: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=EC&P=16 The one that hooks up to the FPR bumps up the fuel pressure under warm starts...

    Leaky hatch? Look here!

    I know what I'm doing when I get a dry day or two now! I knew it was under that trim piece somewhere from pouring water on various locations of the hatch and watching for it, but didn't get a chance to pull it off before weather got ugly. Right now I have that panel just sitting in my trunk as...

    Autopal H4 Headlight Conversion

    I used a Hella kit as well and have been quite pleased with them. Put in some PIAA bulbs at the same time and called it a day. Looks good and more importantly, light up the road in front of me quite nicely WITHOUT blinding the person I'm following.

    engine starts but wont idle.

    Glad it was something simple. I'd just go over connections real quick (specifically at the battery terminals) once more to make sure they're all solid to make sure things stay happy.

    fuel cut fun

    What modifications are done to the car? What psi is it cutting at? Why are you boosting on a cold engine????????

    engine starts but wont idle.

    Make sure that you've got a good connection on the terminals too and that the wires going in to the terminals haven't started falling out or anything like that.

    Junk yard run anyone need anything? 89 and 87 car there

    That would be awesome spikes. In case it doesn't end up working out, what year Camry squirters and what years do they fit our cars? I had someone ship me a set of squirters from an '88 and they were different and wouldn't clip in. The 88's were smaller.

    Junk yard run anyone need anything? 89 and 87 car there

    No, I double checked, $45 each. They wanted $11 for each of the 90* connector elbows as well, but I've got those :icon_razz

    Junk yard run anyone need anything? 89 and 87 car there

    If you still haven't left I need windshield washer squirters from the 89. Toyota wanted $45 each for new ones >_<

    Motor dies at idle when given throttle

    I think what mkIIIman was saying is check your codes and get back to us.

    7MGTE Manifold question

    Check the EGR recirc in the back as well. It's a PITA to get at if it is leaking...I had to do mine a little while ago.

    Holy mother of all turbos!

    Why don't you just substitue the engine for a general combustion chamber and just drive the wheels off the turbine at that point? :P

    Any problems with swapping a pre-89 JDM 7mgte into a 91 USDM previously 7mgte Supra?

    If you're hooking it up with the USDM computer, I'd move the EGR over rather than put the block off plates in. There's lots of threads arguing back and forth on it, but honestly, what's the downside to having it in? You'll get slightly better gas mileage, lower EGT's, and it's not even on...

    Snow plus Supra equals a very slow drive home

    I've used a couple 50 lbs bags of potting soil before, and that worked great.

    Exhaust system Thread.

    The inline 6 engine won't typically produce the "fart cannon" sound, so you should be pretty safe with whatever you go with.

    Snow plus Supra equals a very slow drive home

    205/65/16 Yokohama Ice Guards on winter rims and I haven't had a problem yet with the snow. It's the only car I have right now so I just make sure to give it a wash/rinse down every couple weeks or so to get all the junk out from the wheel wells and whatnot.

    push starting?

    I had starter issues a while back too. If the car is completely cold and you're actually push starting it on a flat surface, yes, it can be difficult. The biggest problem is the car weighs slightly less than an aircraft carrier ;)

    Anyone ever order parts directly from BIC Performance???

    Yeah, he was in a fairly expensive are for rent and it just wasn't profitable to stay open there. My car was one of the last in that shop for exhaust work. From what I understand he's still going to be running his business out of another location, just don't know where.

    Is my fan clutch going out?

    By chance did you see if there's any moisture on any of the pulleys/belts? My thermostat housing had a very tiny leak and would do that once in a while if it got even a couple drops on the water pump pulley beneath it.
