Yessir that was one of my leaks. It didnt have a gasket when it came back from the shop. made one out of gasket paper to stop it. I also had to change out the studs on the turbo drain tube (the ones above the dipstick tube one the block) due to mine being stripped.

Well I decided to finally do a build (sorta) thread for my 88 grey Supra turbo. A little history....got the car a little over 2yrs ago. The car ran but leaked oil everywhere so the plan was to do a refresh of all the gaskets and run it until money was good for a true rebuild. Well life and...

For sure power loss. Lots of power loss. I had one on another car of mine whiched turned out i had an exhaust valve issue. I had two valves not closing properly allowing unburbed gas into the catty....clogging it. So if it is the catty check and repair other issues....ie....misfire, overheating...

Yeah...i don't know yet about a complete wire tuck yet. Maybe in the future. Just gonna try and stay on my new path of rebuild. I've changed my mind too many times so this is going to be it. Get it painted, interior, wheels, and power.

Lol ......yes i did Rufus!!! And yes Mike thats the plan. Whatever clips i can get will be changed out. I also think i know why the knock sensor code is coming on (code 52) . The TRSM doesnt show it torque setting for the knock sensor so i reached and found around 30-33ft/lbs. I know when i...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder my friend. Just cuz you throw money at it doesn't make yours any sexier than mine.

Well i decided to take my running Supra off the road. I'll be starting a build thread of getting it back together. I'm gonna be pulling the engine today or tomorrow to fix some oil leaks and rewire harness. Plans are to make it easy to look at so i'm going to paint it and get the inside nice and...

^need to look at jdubs post on oil. I did and learned something.

Add whatever has been deleted. Rigged up cars seem to cost you more imo. Unless you know what you got get it back to stock before you add power. Just my 2¢.

Anyone know where to get a decent fair priced paint job??

Well i say 2 months but i just have to calm down and just take one small issue at a time. I was kinda jumpon off a ledge there for a minute.

Man that looks like fun. Give me a month or two and i'll make some runs.

Yeah i was on this site last night. Plugs that are bad.... Male/female on the CPS. While i was tracing one the knock sensor wires (the car was running) i was looking at the ECU and grabbed the two wires for the sensor and the plug came off the ecu......car shut off!!! The plug to the ECU clip...

Yeah. Im gettin annoyed due to my haste to get the car running i overlooked certain things. Now that im trying to fix this knock sensor issue i see all the stuff i said i'll fix later. I feel i took 3 steps forward and 3 back with a little baby step forward. This harness as i look at it more...

Does anyone know the major difference between the yellow plug wire harness to the grey? I have a bunch of broken connectors on mine (yellow plug) and i have a donor harness with grey plugs. The only thing i know of is the external HAC sensor on the 88 model that was deleted (rather added...

1988ma70supra, What were your time splits out there? I talked to Rufus and he said he had fun except for all the drag cars gettin most of the runs. I wouldnt mine taking mine but at this point its at a joke to bring it to something like a drag strip. We should at least do something. We're (as...

So what, other than messing with the MAP ECU, are your plans for more power? You have all the components for more power already. If i remember you just need am AFPR and a bigger turbor to hit 350-400hp ......correct!? 280-290hp isn't bad but with 550cc injectors, fuel pump upgrade, lexus afm...

Not too bad Rufus considering all the issues you have been having with the clutch and boost controller. Sorry i couldn't make it. I'm gettin old and can't recuperate like i use to. When are you going again?

Gonna try and make it also

Has anyone had there lsd rebuilt? Did you do it yourself? I'm asking because i feel that its seems to me a waste of good engine rebuild and future hp upgrades for our individual power goals to use our 100,000+ mile diffs to put that power to the wheels. I saw a write up on SF that made me want...
