    Urgent Alert: House Vote Coming Soon on CCW Reciprocity Bill

    The worst part of this is, we are already guranteed the right to carry by the second amendment in the bill of rights. We have the right to own and carry firearms.

    A340E Basic Rebuild kit

    At the dealer there was a tool room for all listed tools in every repair manual. So I didn't consider them special, from my perspective.

    Anyone seen this color MK3 before?

    I also noticed after that you didn't post the VIN. The VIN for a Supra will be JT2MA70.....

    Cool/Rare parts thread?

    Looks converted to me. And as long as it was apart, they ditched the electric motor.

    Anyone seen this color MK3 before?

    Your car came with the 7MGE not the GTE. 71 or 70 is the series, 71 being turbo. Just an FYI. Yes, I have seen that color.

    Auto trans question.

    Yes, there are two solenoids giving you four positions. 1 on 2 off, 1 off 2 off, etc. The Suprastick is a trans controller. Some here use it. I will probably go with it someday.

    How much boost on a journal bearing turbo?

    Sure you are. If you ported the head and manifold with oversizes valve and kept the wastegate actuator the same, "boost" would go down as power went up.

    A340E Basic Rebuild kit

    Sorry for the delay. I was just cruizing the trans section today. My impression is you are more than capable, however, I don't think it is something you should try and "wing it". I don't consider the tools specialized. But that is from my perspective of working in this industry. I wouldn't do it...

    Overdrive light

    Figure it out yet? The switch powers the light and sends a 12v signal to the trans computer telling the computer to use O/D. Scratch that. I just looked at the EWD. The switch provides the ground for the bulb and the trans computer. But the switch is still only a signal. What was I thinking...

    first time at dyno! Im stoked! :D 391 rwhp at 15 lbs.

    You are too lean to be safe. You ought to take it down to about 11.5:1. Is the fuel pump original?

    If you want to spend a few dollars and don't want water in the combustion chamber, put the vacuum line in a bottle of STP fuel injection cleaner. Same principle.

    Egr?

    Is what part a must for what? Why do you consider taking something off the car when you don't know what it does? EGR puts inert exhast gas back in the intake manifold. And being inert, it causes the combustion to be not as strong as without. This lowers temps and the byproduct NOx.

    OEM Toyota Filter Info

    The US made filter is out of production. It won't be easy to find them aside from ebay. I thought he did have it on one of the sticky threads.

    Car won’t start with video.

    Yep. Seems like you jumped the belt and don't have compression based on the sound.
