    supra wont start

    Honestly if you're just going to be dropping an engine in get the one that is the better shell, interior/exterior, etc. If they're pretty equal, get real picky, find which interior color(s) you like more (since you'll be painting it too).

    Good Lights For Fog?

    I'm actually curious myself to see what people come up with. I've been driving around with one missing because it got a little too friendly with a rock coming off some semi's tire on the highway. Just to clarify Rob, are you looking for clear/white ones or yellow? I've seen some supra's set...

    Parking brake light switch

    If your break fluid is that low, might want to check how much pad you have left. Typically you don't need to top up your brake fluid unless you have a leak...it's a sealed system. Some people may think it's normal, but no, you shouldn't have to top up sealed system fluids such as brake fluid...

    Fuel Cut at 9 PSI?????????

    I don't know how you'd even get to 15psi with out stuff done to your MAF/ECU with out hitting fuel cut, but that aside, yes, get your boost down. 15psi on a stock turbo is just...well...not good.

    supra wont start

    It really comes down to what you're aiming for then really. Are you wanting to stick with the 7M or are you going to swap in the 1JZ? Each has it's own benefits and drawbacks, both can be (probably will be) a lot of time and money and if you plan on doing your own work, blood and sweat (and...

    Fuel Cut at 9 PSI?????????

    What the ECU is doing is essentially looking at the volume of air coming through your intake at your MAF sensor and adjusting the fuel to compensate for rich/lean. If your injector duty cycle gets dangerously high, your the ECU will "fuel cut" in order to stop catastrophic lean out detonation...

    supra wont start

    How much are they asking? If it's not running off the gas that is in there it could be contaminated gas, but even trying to run contaminated gas can really do a number on your pump and/or injectors...I personally wouldn't touch it unless you planning on dropping some cash and effort in to the...

    Fuel Cut at 9 PSI?????????

    I'd check for boost leaks before even getting started. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19718&highlight=boost+leak+tester http://www.vfaq.com/mods/ICtester.html Take your pick :)

    How much HP with MAFT

    So by that you mean keep up with the average brand new corvette, right? You'd be leaving average joe in a cloud of smoke and dust with that horse power ;) The MAFTPro will give you a heck of a lot more control when it comes to tuning and readouts. It will make your life a lot simpler when...

    Gas/Turpentine How do I know?

    I had a good 3/4 of a tank of gas that sat in my tank for almost a year and a half. I had put Seafoam (http://www.seafoamsales.com/motor-treatment/index.html) in about 2 months after I parked it and it just sat for the rest of the time, not starting or anything. I just drove it with that gas...

    I love it! That deserves a 20 seconds air time during commercial breaks on national news :D

    Blue Smoke

    So what you're saying is that your engine bay is full of oil all over the place now? And I give the +1 for rings based off your compression test results. All of them seem very low overall...TSRM spec is 142psi with a MINIMUM of 128psi. You barely hit that dry on your best cylinder. 7MGTE...

    Why is my wheel squeaking? :(

    Back plate being bent and debris are definitely the first things to check. When you say that it went "BOOM BOOM BOOM" what do you mean? Was the tire bouncing up and down? Did it hit something hard? Wheel bearing noises are typically more grinding than squeaking, but I've heard them squeaking...

    Better than suing...

    This is another reason I have a form fitted pressure foam sprayed case for my nice guitar :P. If he was actually using a proper professional travelling case, they have to take QUITE a bit of abuse before anything happens to the contents. Never the less...people are stupid, throwing stuff like...

    Left or Right? Smoking taillights

    My vote's for the right as well.

    inconsistant knock top motor

    Is it when it's hot or cold or doesn't matter? If it's on cold start you could be hearing piston slap. Check and make sure all bolts are torqued to spec as always.

    Sloppy subs.

    For the meantime, try shoving some socks or towels in the ports, take up a little bit of the air space. It's always nice giving subs their own air space to work with as well, that way they're not "fighting" for the air movement. I know it might sound dumb, but make sure they're hooked up right...

    Pulled over in the Supra today. Should I fight it?

    I haven't been through the courts at all, but I would definitely be pissed if I was wrongfully accused of going faster than I actually was that bumped the ticket to a higher level like this. It's something you obviously have to be careful of though. I'd present the facts from your side, bring...
