    Identity Crisis

    I generally find that most people that do this to the car, are making up for something else. You generally find the biggest wings, on Hondas with the smallest engines.

    new injector issue?

    No idea what they are, but they are a standard size case. Send them off to Fuel Injector Clinic, or Witchhunter for cleaning/ refurb. They will make them nice, and flow test them for you. I used FIC in Florida for my 680's. http://www.witchhunter.com/ http://fuelinjectorclinic.com/

    Valve stem seals or turbo?

    I just find it funny that the top four threads in this section right now, are ALL about smoke on startup.

    Looking for some guidance. Smoking when warmed up. Warning choo choo train ahead.

    I had the problem of slight oil at startup, then oil after a heavy accel/decel. Turned out that two of my valve stem seals had popped off the guides, and were simply riding up and down on the valve stems.

    90 mk3 white smoke

    Other way around. Oil is blueish, water/ coolant is white. If it IS the head gasket, and it only happens before the motor heats up and expands to seal it, you might very well get lucky, and be able to just retorque the head back down. The bolts do sometimes loosen up. Proper torque should be...

    I just want a quick reliable supra... to much to ask?

    No. That is really only needed when you're pushing past big hp numbers. The labor vs. benefit is nearly pointless at ~300hp. If you plan to have the head off, and expect to one day upgrade cams, springs, retainers, etc, then sure, why not.

    7mgte check engine blinking rapidly

    You don't need to adjust your TPS if you only get the 51 when touching the throttle! It just means that the ecu senses that the tps is not showing idle position of the tps. You're supposed to get that code with any throttle input.

    Also, any junk yard Toyota from the 80's will have a cap that fits.

    good buy for injectors?

    An additional option is Evo 560cc injectors. They are also low impedance, and can usually be found for a great price. They require either new electrical plugs, or adapter plugs. I used a set of these for a few years and they were great. Ex: adapters:

    Rebuilt 7MGTE revving problem

    My filter element. Normally, its folded in half along it's length, then rolled up. This filter had 190,000 miles. The opaque section is solid dirt.

    Rebuilt 7MGTE revving problem

    Possibly, but if it's the original 25+ yr old pump, it may have simply lived a full life. A walbro 255/ AEM / Aeromotive pump are easy 3 hour swaps, that guarantee you good fuel pressure for years to come. In addition, ALWAYS replace the fuel filter. It's location is just above and in front of...

    I just want a quick reliable supra... to much to ask?

    You have to be very specific on what you want done at the shop. Unless the know 7MGTE's, they could overlook something. Aside from simply starting with a clean motor, you want to insure that the head is torqued properly, and the coolant system is performing at least as good as new. That, and...
