Speak for yourself..LOL (I'm thinking Ian is right) JDub - 1 Duane - 1

Has to be wrong...never noticed that in the EPC before. Here's the GE TRSM diagram: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EC&P=3

Duane has a wife? In that case: Ian 2 Duane 0 (auto lose against a woman)

Ummm...you need a charcoal canister. The check valve inside maintains positive pressure in the gas tank to prevent FP cavitation. Plus, you really do not want gas fumes in your engine bay ;) If your BVSV is broken, you can connect the 2 lines as a temporary fix...you still need to replace it.

Got me on that one...could be several things. (ISCV, ECU temp sensor, FP regulator). I can say with 100% accuracy it was not the CSI once the engine was running.

It wasn't because of the CSI your car ran like crap cold...the CSI only operates during engine cranking (starter engaged, STA active). The time switch limits the amount of fuel delivered by the CSI during start to prevent flooding. It's sole purpose is to add additional fuel to get the engine...

I would use a thin oil. You could use a syringe...the large type used by vets for horses. Get 2 of them.

Yep...viton shouldn't stick, especially to a low RA surface. Don't forget to re-do the RTV on the front timing plate when you reinstall. Check the valve lash again before you put the head on. I'm starting to think you might not want to trust this shop's work ;)

Yes...why do you think it's a candidate for upgrade ;)

No, you don't. The viton is intact until it's heated. Take it off and inspect...if it looks good, use it as is.

As long as you have not run it, the MHG is fine. You do not want to run it either, burn a valve, backfire into the intake manifold, etc...all bad.

The machine shop screwed up - that is not normal. Take the head back and have them adjust the valve stem length.

It's the same as if you pulled it off (open to atmosphere)...FP should increase. That results in a higher idle, same as the fuel pressure up VSV does for start under high coolant temp conditions.

If it burns hot enough, it will produce a white smoke ;)

He didn't say if it was the inside or not...he did say the outside of the turbo was covered in oil. A thicker weight oil is not going to do squat for this...that kind of advice is an exercise in futility. You can easily get 10 quarts in the pan before it starts to get to the level of the...

Are you sure the turbo oil feed or return is not leaking? Where exactly is the oil level on the dipstick? A quart over the full mark is what I run on a normal basis. There would have to be way over that to cause a problem. Suggest you check engine codes too.

Looks like the flange surface corroded to me. It will have to be machined flat to seal.

Nope! That is exactly where mine is ;)

I would avoid drilling the turbo where he indicated ;) Placing the EGT probe just aft of the manifold/turbo flange pre-turbine is fine. It will give you an accurate average of all 6 cylinder EGT. If you drill the #6 runner, you get one cylinder. If you place it after the turbine (turbo...
