    Oil pressure low under boost only

    True...that's the low end. Mines always showed 10 psi at idle before I changed out motors. I did a mod to the oil pump relief valve and get about 10-15 psi at idle (warm) on the new motor.

    Oil pressure low under boost only

    Take a look at the pic in this thread, 2nd post...it shows where the oil sensor is located on the motor: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16947 When you added the oil relocation kit and oil cooler (I assume a larger one), you also added volume to the system. And that is not...

    JDM Motor Mount Bushings

    Yep...need to listen to GrimJack. This is a true statement. The square mounts came on '87-88 and some early '89 cars. The round mounts were introduced mid '89 and went to '92.

    Can't figure where this wire goes

    Heehee...I get a lot of free beer from my buddies as "rental fee" You talking about the auto tranny? I've always done autos...had one on my Chevlle SS, a turbo 400 w/ a shift kit. Thought I'd go the same route on the Supra, so I had it built to take the HP, installed a 3000 rpm stall...

    7mgte "crate motor" ??

    tire sizing question

    You're using 15" wheels on a Mk III? That's different...the stock sawblades are 16". Most of us go to a 17" or 18" wheel. Ok...go here: http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoTireMath.dos It's a tire size calculator. For example, I wanted to go with an 18" rim and need to know what tire...

    Help with hose

    Can't figure where this wire goes

    Yeah it is...found out the Cressida 7M motor uses the same sensor. Here's a couple of pics right before the motor went in...no, that's not me. That's one of my crazy friends. We just finished taking the old motor out and cleaning up the engine bay. :biglaugh:

    Porting Stock Turbo Exhaust Elbow

    Heehee...that's a chrome ceramic coating :naughty: That looks good! I didn't go that far down because it will cause a hole on the bottom...didn't want to deal with welding it up. ;)

    Porting Stock Turbo Exhaust Elbow

    You can port it easily with an air grinder. It does help with stock turbo spool, but not as much as an aftermarket elbow or big mouth DP. Just be careful how much material you remove...you don't want the steel too thin on the bottom of the inlet. Here's a comparison pic...you could remove...

    Can't figure where this wire goes

    Yep...betcha that's the Oil Pressure sensor wire. The blade connector connects to the top and the gray cap fits over the top of the whole whole sensor. Here's a pic...the oil pressure sensor is the round brass part forward of the oil filter housing, under the forward exhaust manifold heat...

    Stock MAP sensor specs

    Good to know...never really thought about it, but since I replaced the stock boost guage with a NA voltmeter...that means I can remove the sensor for under the hood. It does beg another question...how does the stock ECU sense boost? Or is it just based on flow received from the AFM.
