Yay for Rob! The Supra gets some lovin' now! BTW, great pics- they will certainly help me with my oil system when I get started on it.

MK3 Supras don't use scanners, they use an older flash-code system. That is, unless you have an old Toyota scan tool with a DCL-1 connector. Anyways, do the usual checks like coolant level, oil level, make sure your water pump is good, belt is tight, make sure the radiator isn't plugged (either...

I would dump the accordion pipe and get a nice aluminum intake pipe to get the air filter away from the turbo and radiator. Silicone couplers are very stretchy and will accommodate slightly larger pipes than their stated size. 1/4" is the most I would stretch it, though. Also, this isn't really...

lovely. I like how they get progressively worse, just lol

People don't understand that it's just a car... moreover, it's just a car's carpet.

They're 720cc greddy injectors. Now all I need is a mk4 TT fuel pump, new fuel filter, DM FPD bypass hose, AFPR, and related hoses to make my fuel system complete. lol I am going to run lines from the sender in preperation for a secondary booster pump if I go e-85 in the future, though. But...

My car has been looking kinda sad lately, but I'm finally getting the parts I need now! Fuel pump will be ordered soon, as well as the complete oiling system. Sean should be about done welding my manifold together, so then that can go on and I can figure out my throttle linkage. But other than...

Fred's got it. Do the DH61 igniter and the 2JZ-GE ignition coils. You end up with an NA 2JZ ignition systems and it has worked flawlessly with my AEM. For the sequential injection, there is a guide somewhere around that guides you as for what pins to run the injector wires to, but it involves...

For future reference, I keep a 1/4" home depot paint stir-stick in my broom closet for a situation just like that. Fits between the door and the body perfect and doesn't damage the paint.

Sounds like you want a 2-step rev limiter. There is a difference in turbo hardship between the two. ALS makes EGT's go much higher due to the late ignition and extra fuel, 2-step just cuts ignition while leaving fuel alone (yes, I know some fuel is pumped into the exhaust because ignition is...

ALS and 2-step are two different systems. Here's how I understand them both. A 2-step rev limiter creates a second ignition cut point with no fuel control at all. It is usually used to spool a turbo on a manual transmission car for drag racing so you can launch with boost. Typically wired into...

Make sure that the EGR passage in the intake manifold isn't blocked, check the EGR valve's operation/movement, check the modulator valve, and also make sure that the VSV is hooked up right. Those seem to be good starting points. (kinda the whole system, lol)

I have only ever seen 2 pedals actually hang up during testing. A 2006 4Runner with 3-4" of floormat material, here's what it had: factory carpet-towel - factory carpet floormat - towel - factory all weather floormat - towel - aftermarket floormat - towel - carpet tile - towel. They were full...

Check your EFI and other fuses first. Also make sure your grounds are all hooked up and in good condition. No CEL=computer is not powering on, usually.

Oh, well you have a lift at home, so I don't like you! :: angry :: just kidding. Good to hear it's coming together for you. It is much sadness to show up to a Supra meet in a Corolla. Trust me- I know... :cry:

Well if you need some help or some company, let us local guys know. I would check to make sure the gasket on the turbo is good and that the banjo bolt has a gasket on either side, My car had a similar problem when I bought it- no gasket/washer on the block side. In other news, I will be there...

When I was putting my car back together (and had the same problem) I went to a local junkyard and raided a bunch of Toyota vehicles for screws, bolts, nuts, clips, retainers, etc. Got a toolbox full and they only wanted $2 for all of them! pick-n-pull ftw!

Oh, but they did recall our Supras... They called it "Cash for clunkers", and some owners fell for it!

Whenever a compressor grenades, it spews metal bits into the system, which are (hopefully) caught by the filter in the receiver/drier. They also have new desiccant material for r134a systems in the new units. The original r12 ones don't work right and can cause problems. It's just something you...

Good to hear you got it figured out. I almost did that when I was filling my coolant up, then I hear this trickle and found (probably the same) hose not on.
