sounds like Im on the right track. thats good to hear.

no no no... it doesnt overheat anymore. I USED TO overheat before I did the head gasket and studs. Cooling system is fine. boost pipes are all flexible with no cracks or anything. no vaccuum leaks that I can find. Ive tried the propane and the carb cleaner methods with no issues found. Ima...

nice. ok donkeys... help a brudda out. :) http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?p=447653#post447653

sorry about spelling, its been a long day.

Ok, so I bought my 89 supra Targa T as a toy. First things first... I Replaced the head gasket. now Im addicted and she's not behaving. Bought her for a song from a kid in town who blew the HG, so he replaced the engine with a jap engine, then blew that headgasket. ugh, idiot. I amassed a few...

damn, all kinds of shits happened since Ive been on. The HG job isnt too bad actually. BTW, my supra does some nice donuts. :D Im not used to this much torque down low.

Well, shes running and driving. dies every once in a while, but mostly working pretty well. Its amazing what those two extra cylinders do! hahaha

update: got the dying problem fixed. shes running alot better now. I made up an EGR blockoff plate and then I went through all the vaccuum lines I could see and cleaned it up some as well as added a couple of ground straps and played with the timing a little more. She seems alot happier...

It dies out slowly. havent boosted yet. Ive been trying to get it to stay running before I romp on it any. (but dont worry, I WILL romp on it) :D Gas is fresh.... well, atleast 3/4 of the tank is fresh. I drove it to where it sits before doing the HG. hey man, Im usually working 70 hrs a week...

Well, I got her running again tonight. Found that nice little treat toyota left for me on the EGR, so in the morning Im going to make a block off plate. Then Ive got to figure out why she keeps dying on me like she is. It gets up to temp fine, no leaks (aside from that EGR thing), but she's...

Ding ding ding! :) It actually wasnt too bad. We got it on the first try. dropped right on the pins. No moving it around or fidgeting trying to find the pins while digging huge holes in the head, etc. This thing is amazingly easy to work on, maybe Im just jaded from having to hang over the...

Well, guess what.... the studs are in, the head is on, its ready to go except for the fact that I lost one of the turbo oil line washers. No need to pull the tranny or tilt the motor, I just had to think about it for a minute. Im getting the washer today and finishing her up tonight. Ill...

Motherfucker! (not you personally) Well, Ive started the project... At this point Im pretty much ready tp pull the head once I get under there and pull that one wire on the tranny. This is going to get interesting if that is true, cause Im sure the toyota dealer down the street doesnt stock...

done

nice. are you rebuilding this thing now? oh, and what are you gonna do with that 60-1 upgraded CT??? I had one fo those in my alltrac and I loved it. That was with a 3sgte though....

Well, I just found out the DP and a few parts wont be here for a week or so, but the headgasket and new head WILL get done this weekend. Shoot me an email if you plan on coming by, Ill be doing it at a buddies house whos another toyota gear head... Ill let his ride speak for itself though if he...

Well, I have the trust gasket, ARP studs, new downpipe, a ported head with NA cams, a permacool fan, and a couple of other toys showing up this week. Looks like Ill be doing the headgasket this weekend. Doesnt look like its as easy as an MR2, but ANYTHING is better than that alltrac I had. I...

yup, that sounds about right. Ill fit in just fine around here. (see sig, these cars are addicting!) Man, it broke my heart, but several months ago I sold my MKI Mr2 to a guy out of New York due to some lisense issue sI needed to clear up. All I have left is pics and video of it and the...

I know Im new around here, but Im down. If you guys are anything like the MR2 community I'll wind up meeting a bunch of people like me who cant help but be addicted to these mechanical assholes we call Toyotas. :D in a good way of course.

AH! THE BIBLE! Sweet. we call that the BGB... as in Big Green book. :D Excelelnt, that diagram has helped quite a bit. Butt in anytime! Armando
