So the welds on the end tank held up and it was actually the fins and internal tubes that failed?

Wow, the first/one time I turn the channel to watch this crap, I see a 89/90 Super Red II turbo 5 speed hardtop with the driver door/fender bashed in. They must be desperate to put stuff on TV, since this thread alone is a year and a half old. Hey wait, I'm just as bad for watching it and...

I think someone made an 89+ up on SF years ago. Would probably be in the photoshop forum, but I havent been there in a long time.

After youve seen them enough, you can just identify it by the casing. Here's one with a transfer case on the back: http://www.retrotech.co.nz/Tech/Toyota-boxes.php

...what?

I've always thought that myself

As a correction, the exhaust cam is the same and the intake isnt that different. Not sure the specifics, but people have posted 10 HP gains everywhere from a dyno sheet by using it instead. I think its a bit more aggressive on N/As, something that the turbo does instead.

See my avatar? I'm a 7M nutswinger. I love the engine and my Supra will never have anything but a 7M. Even I cant stand N/A 7Ms ;)

I dont want to sound like an asshole or anything, but 1 bar is 14.5 psi not 14.7. 14.7 is 1 atmosphere..101,325 pascals. 1 bar is 100,000 pascals.

The spoiler is hot though. ANYWAYS I really would like this picture in high res for a desktop. EDIT: Thanks man! New background picture!

I'm pretty sure they are interchangeable, as long as you have the whole assembly from one or the other. Fenders and hoods are completely interchangeable. I thought it was weird too. The places Ive seen to get replacement shocks have it listed for all years MkIII.

I'm well aware of how much IJ has put into his MkIII. His extensive, detailed experimentation and information is nothing short of invaluable. He's a hero for us 7M guys

I've thought about its use, but there's no way 95% of us would be able to usefully use and get worth out of a proper compound setup. A single will do anything we need it, and the gains from using two turbos (be they parallel, sequential, or compound) are most likely out of our financial grasp...

The GT35RHTA is my "dream turbo" :biglaugh:. Here's the compressor map for a rebuilt, healthy 7M: IMO, from the looks of it, the 35R is nothing short of ideal, especially for a street car--79% compressor efficiency is some serious shit, and only the biggest ass turbos see numbers that...

The burns people get from airbags are from the friction against the airbag itself. Airbags dont get that hot when they are deployed. If your seating position isnt "correct," thats what happens. You're supposed to be 10" from the airbag. The burns people get can probably be blamed on the seat...

Nope, none yet :(. I decided to take the semester off, so I'm back home on the west coast. Its still sitting exactly like the latest pics depict it. No job = no money to fix up the Supra, and being in college sure doesnt help.

I've heard that pretty much all Toyota steering wheel stuff is bolt-on. 2000-2005 Celica wheels even are.

Thats quite a big jump. You might want to rethink your piping consistency. That being said, ATP Turbo (www.atpturbo.com) has always been one of my first choices in turbo related stuff. I looked for you, but I couldnt find that big of a transition anywhere. You're probably going to have to get...

Plumbing might be easier, but its still a system thats twice as complex..maybe even more so if you go A2W like I mentioned. I think you'll lose some top end through the blower as well. You'll be changing more parts too.

I came. I was thinking of using a positive displacement blower with a 42R if I ever got bored with a 35R. This method is probably more efficient as far as heat goes for usage of more than just 1/4 mi, since you'd probably have to use an air-to-water intercooler for fitment and heat reasons...
