    HKS Turbo kits WTF

    There isn't a twin turbo from HKS for our car. It was for the 5M. It will fit of course, but is not a good idea. If you find a catalog and show it, that would be pretty neat. I am pretty sure it doesn't exist. The 5M twin turbo was sold in the US. HKS sold a bolt on upgrade, and had two T4...

    7MGTE egr or no egr

    It can get nasty in there. I have seen a few where the carbon was thick enough, the valve wouldn't set all the way closed. Not common, but it happens.

    Afterfire/muffler explosions bad mpg

    The IDL contact pulls to ground. That is what the computer sees. If you have it unplugged, it will never see ground. Park and neutral are the same. The contacts are probably getting worn. Heat causing vapor issues. What? You might check that the TPS has a good connection to E2 ground. 12...

    How much does your supra weigh?

    Not enough to matter. The difference is in the sport roof and engine. The other things also add up, but not like the roof bracing or turbo.

    How much does your supra weigh?

    I assume you mean taller ratios. They are nearly identical. The W series is a little shorter in 1st and 5th. A little. On your vechile tag under the hood the axle code looks something like this. G305. If the last digit is 3 or 5, you have a LSD.

    how much psi can be put in the 7mgte with the stock 440cc injectors?

    You can safely get 12-13 psi from 440's with the CT26. T4 based, not so much.

    +Original Supra reviews

    Where did you read it? That is outstanding news if true, assuming it to be a worthy car. A decade ago they announced they were out of the sports car business, and if they sold one again it would be in the Lexus line. That left us with the impressive yet grossly overpriced LFA. You could have two...

    What should my coolant temp be?

    Just goes to show what thinking about boost does to the brain....

    Strange stumble under WOT

    That is good. Ever do a voltage drop test on your 20 year old wiring at the pump? I am just offering up possibilities, and not taking the AEM into account.

    Emission specs

    The StL isn't doing IM240(they should be) on anything. The OBDII cars are doing a computer check only. And you can't cheat it unless you write the software. After no failures are verified by the MIL, the readiness codes are checked to see that a drive cycle has been done. Our cars only get a...

    What should my coolant temp be?

    212 will only boil water at sea level pressure of one BAR. Toyota puts a pressure cap on at .9 BAR, raising the boiling point so the coolant can absorb more heat. I changed my 13 psi cap for a 16. And have a huge fan clutch on it. I have my high pressure A/C switch disabled and a toggle plugged...

    Are you supplying a large enough volume of fuel?

    Engine Wiring Diagram for an 88 MKIII? Does this exist ?????

    I have the factory EWD. It isn't like the 89 and newer, it is black and white with color codes. You can also log in and pay for a subscription and print it out. Anywhere from an hour to a year.

    Emission specs

    You are required to have two working cats in all of the USA if that is how your car came from the factory. When you pass with out, it is becasue the inspectors are not doing as required.

    Starter spinning but not catching, cant figure it out.

    The pull in coil quits working after the pinion gear engages. The magentic force of the hold in coil is supposed to hold it after the pull in coil is de-energized. That is activated by a magnetic switch on the plunger. ---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM...

    The magnetic switch that is supposed to hold isn't holding. Or so it seems from here.

    Strange stumble under WOT

    If you are overly lean, your spark could blow out. In other words, cause and effect. Rich is easier to light, in addition to being safer.

    Emission specs

    I could probably find it in my library. You can probably find it with google. My hint for you is that they don't change. Meaning the spec in 1988 still applies. Or whatever year you have. And if the inspectors are doing their job, they will fail visual if you don't have both cats, EGR, or the...
