Thanks Loki, Is that the same black 89 you've always had? It's really come a long way from jackstands and red underfenders. ;)

Haha, he lives nearby, so there isn't much else to see around here. No offense taken.

Careful Boys! Half the time it's Heidi that's posting :biggrinki Thanks for the replies.

I think the head gasket is ever so slightly different. But get one of each and see.

Hey guys! Heidi and I found ourselves in a nice park with the digital camera the other day, so we took a few photos. Hope you enjoy them! This view will look much sexier with the addition of a tinted blinker cover from Kevin M (Come on group Buy!) -----Note the sunshade from Kevin...

Thanks for the input guys. I think he's going to get the subframe welded, and I found him an NA diff for $75, so maybe we can do other things with the "way too cheap" NA. whahahaha!:D

Thanks Loki, I'll have more pics soon. Your car is looking good too. Is that a current pic?

Huh? Yeah, the broken car is a turbo targa. The parts car has an NA lsd, so 4.30:1 gears which should be fine for now. Thanks for the backup on the immature newb, guys. This site has a reputation for being a place where we can come and get real answers to real questions, and have a good...

Thanks! Not too bad for 18 year old paint huh?

Too much oil also makes the crank whip the oil into a froth, and froth is full of air. Oil full of air is about as useful as no oil at all.

Heidis brother, Andrew was cruising around a couple of nights ago, and while driving moderately in second gear, the diff let out a grinding pop and now the car doesn't move under its own power. When I got under it to look, the diff is leaking, the forward bolt mount for the diff on the...

Yeah, the sender is in the oil galery, which is presurized. So the oil does not move away from the sending unit, it moves away from the oil pickup, which results in an empty oil galery, which results in a dead motor.

There's a chance that the arcing wire that you electrical taped was shorting a little, and killed the coil.

Everything bolts up, you just don't have the oil feed and return holes for the turbo. So you have to use custom oil lines.

Good to hear it has done so well with the dsm guys. I guess physical size can be deceiving.

34 = fuel cut.

The one thing I see that looks a little dismal is the tight AR on the exhaust side. you said .55, right? IIRC the stock CT is closer to .63, I would see that tight AR as a big restriction for top end flow. although it should provide quick spool, provided it doesn't surge/choke the compressor.

Thanks Everybody. I'm going to comp test it because I have a compression tester, and I don't have a block tester. I will buy a block tester if I determine that I have tested everything that can be tested for free and still have a problem. The car has been maintained meticulously at the...

I have a Q. Recently, the supra started showing some very odd cooling characteristics. The outside temperature was around 95 or so, and as I came down from cruising speed to stop and go portland traffic, the temp gauge started fluctuating like it does under boost with a BHG. What is odd, is...
