    Heat resistant wrap intake pipe

    I have seen pictures of it. But the air is moving fast, and not fast enough for the turbo to heat it. Then, you hold the heat that happens from the head through conduction.

    The mk3 Supra is called garbage by some loser...

    The W58 7MGE no targa, TEMS, ABS, etc weighs 3450, not 3300.

    she never blew...

    Not that it matters now, but it doesn't mean that. It means the switch in the over flow bottle is open. Being 20+ years old, it can do that from corrosion, in addition to its main function of letting you know the resevoir is empty. You need a combustion leak checker. It works definitively...

    3270 lbs street car

    Does that help your cornering or braking? Some of you that think these really good brakes are bad brakes (rolls eyes) would think different at 3200 lbs. Here is another one. Take a stock 87 Supra 7MGTE and 230 hp, manual trans, and line it up with an 87 5.0 Mustang and 5 speed and 225 hp. Then...

    You have to be kidding me

    http://www.toyotapartszone.com/oem/toyota~cover~front~spoiler~76851-14030.html A retailer I use because I prefer the parts search system also has it at $295 USD. Good find on Champion.

    3270 lbs street car

    Don't think to hard about one component and say but it is only "x" pounds. If you start to lighten the load, it all adds up. How much? Add a 200 lb passenger and see if you can tell the difference. Or two of them.

    wrist pin hole is 1 thous to big

    So you went a whole day rather than looking yourself? Just checking. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EM&P=70

    Vibraiton at 50 mph plus (i didnt know where to post) (87 supra na 5 speed)

    If the driveshaft is causing a problem (balance or the bearing) the vibration is going to get worse with road speed. If it comes and then goes away at higher speed you need to look at your tire and wheel.

    3270 lbs street car

    Which is far less than stock. A 5 speed hardtop 7MGTE curb weight (no fuel or driver) listed about 3580. ABS, sport roof, automatic, 91-92 speakers and wiring with sound proofing all add weight. I would love to dump 300 lbs without changing the character of the car. That would cost me a lot of...

    weird tps voltage problem

    Not enough air for the volume of fuel. You have to find that yourself, or pay somebody competent to do it for you.

    Launch recommendations?

    People don't say it, engineers do. Do you run with a flip flop and a boot? Or do you run in a running shoe? The reason you don't do it is because it is dangerous. Bias ply tires do not flex like a radial ply, and handle very differently (poorly) compared to a radial. When you do mix, you put the...

    weird tps voltage problem

    Just for refrence, the car is programed from the factory. The only thing it learns is to respond to owners. It doesn't learn its map, it writes to it based on you, and that is a correction for doing something abnormal. And we all drive it hard, don't take that personal.

    Fuel issue? Timing issue?

    You don't need to be in positive pressure (boost) for that to be a problem. Especially if the non tight hose is loose on the fitting.

    Targa top/How I love it

    Even my 5 year old girl likes it. "Daddy, can we take the Supra?"

    Fuel issue? Timing issue?

    This is fairly typical of incorrect base input to the PCM. Engine timing and airflow set injection and timing. Engine coolant temp, air temp, A/C, are all corrections to the basic calculation. Look for an intake leak before worrying about the airflow meter. However, if you have a K&N or any...

    It is constitutional. Problem is, we don't obey our own rules.

    7MGE-T won't start

    How did you check injection opening? So I take it you do have ECU power, and the check engine light does turn on. If you really have those things, the only other thing you don't have is engine timing, or injection/spark timing.
