You can only adjust the throttle cable on the throttle body end. Was your car originally an NA? If so, you can replace the throttle cable with one from the turbo model- it's slightly shorter overall. Fan clutch...

I like to throw this at just about every no-start post: Check the cps wires. They fray and get brittle, and can cause an intermittent no-start.

pieces of hardened FIPG?

Sounds like your battery might just be getting hot from continuous discharge, since you don't mention an overvoltage issue. Something shorted?

Monroe's, huh? Anyway- I recommend Eibach's. They drop the front a little over 1.5", and the rear about 1", which is the perfect stance IMHO. They are progressive, so they ride well on the street, and tighten up when you really corner. That's my experience at least. As for Monroe's, I don't...

I respect your persistence.

Seriously. I gained like ~30hp and 2psi over stock just from that!

I think that the oil cooler mod(to thermostatic) is almost a necessary mod, since the factory system only opens the cooler circuit above a specific pressure(~40psi). I'm pretty sure that the oil needs to be cooled on occasions when you are at less than that psi. Other oil mods include shimming...

After reading the above-mentioned thread, I just finished doing mine: The pcv can itself is not in the engine compartment, but rather- I mounted it under the driver's headlight. (A), because i wanted it in a cool area, (B), I was running out of engine compartment room. The valve cover hose...

Degrease the engine so that there's no oily areas on the bottom, sides or top, and figure out where its coming from. Did you have the turbo flange gaskets replaced?

Fair enuf- just thought this question had been answered in a couple of threads already.

The block looks pretty good from what i can tell.

And you had to dig up a 2 year old thread to ask this?

Mine's every 10,000

My lower IC pipe came off once, and I was blowing all sorts of black smoke, and the turbo would wail like a dying hyena. Really sounds like a big boost leak.

What I've done to test the wastegate, is to plug one of those crappy little 12v tire inflators to the wastegate line, and the WG should instantly open. Also, once you have the WG open, clamp the line, to see if it holds the gate open, or leaks down.

IJ- How much weight was shaved from that 7m crank?

This is a good question, and I'd like to know about this too. My car was originally NA, and the supermonitor obviously doesn't show a valid mileage estimate, as I have a 7mgte in it with the 440 injectors, and it shows a mileage I would guess is about 30% too optomistic. Would like to hear...

Just buy a felpro hg for the 'mild' supra. Doesn't sound like you're trying to make a huge amount of power with it, so it should be fine. And you won't spend a bunch on the part either.
