    Funky idle and turbo cooling question.

    Who knew a stoner could be that focused, even if it is Yoda.

    No Start,,Yea another one

    No. It was however mentioned hinted at. By all means, stay. At least you know it will not run without certain inputs.

    Just as important, he will not have an spark if he doesn't have CPS input. And he says he has spark. It can't be the CPS. If he told us codes, maybe he lost is IGf signal. I want to know about his fuel pressure still.

    You said you lost fuel pressure when you stopped cranking. You went from what to what? After cranking and starting, you will have an input from the CPS. The computer then switches to the low speed operation of the pump. I don't know how the MAP ECU runs. I would think it only takes away the...

    Garrett T04E - Install Questions

    I would take the manifold that is an easier install. Personal choice.

    How much does your supra weigh?

    Pre-production ringer. Run that time and speed through a calcuator. With a driving weight of 3750 or so, that is 225 hp. Also, if the cars are not tested on the same day at the same track, they can't be compared. The sport roof bracing puts the curb weight 70 lbs higher than the 86.5...

    How much does your supra weigh?

    Have you seen the thread? It is heavy, even for DSL. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?67399-Original-Supra-reviews&highlight=original+reviews How about a more realistic comparison, namely cars from 87-92. My 91 Mustang GT according to Ford with the T5 trans weighed 3191...

    How much does your supra weigh?

    Take note of a few listed curb weights and test weights. The sport roof bracing is 70 lbs according to Toyota. The turbo, intercooler, piping and R154 all add weight to the base model's 3480.

    When cranking the starter signal powers the fuel pump. You need rpm to run the pump after cranking as a safety measure. If you drop right after cranking, that is likely the problem. Well, the starter doesn't power the pump, it just allows it to be powered.

    7M "Ventilation Hose"

    Dedicated drag cars often use a crankcase vacuum. To lower pressure against rotation of the crank. There is no reason not to vent the crankcase.

    Smog legal exhaust

    The higher dollar aftermarket cat back systems typically are straight through mufflers packed with fiberglass and a resonator as mentioned. They do not limit HP, and most are proven on our car to pick up 25-30 with no other mods on the dynojet. That is not peak to peak, but the max gain. Just...

    7M "Ventilation Hose"

    You don't see a need to reduce sludge from the crankcase? That system doubled the life of the engine when it came out. 100,000 became the norm for engine life like it was no big deal. Rethink your position. The system evolved from a road draft tube to rerouting to the intake manifold for...

    Theoretical Question

    I watched a detached garage go up in flames. And he was a trained firefighter. The short version is he was flushing the crank, and the pan filled up quicker than he thought. So he started screwing the drain plug back in, and it sprayed. Sadlly, there was a droplight near by. Ka-boom. And all the...

    A341E Shifting Issue

    The A341 didn't come in any US market Supras. It is an A340. The 341 was in the Celsior/LS400. Just FYI... There should be a code with that. The shift solenoids are probably causing the problem. When one fails, it will act a certain way, such as holding a gear.

    7mgte A/C removal and manual fan removal question

    I wasn't being funny this time. I thought he meant the fan clutch. But then he has no fan and I don't understand what he means.

    7mgte A/C removal and manual fan removal question

    Manual cooling fan? Weight off the nose is always good. Better cooling also.

    Supra build easy horsepower

    That is true of any engine. If the engine is healthy, and you get around fuel cut and have a good down pipe and exhaust, get a manual controller like this. This was $30.00 and held 13 psi on the CT26. Just not on the T04E compressor. If you remember the old HKS staging system, here is a...

    Fuel Pulsation Damper (Adjusting Screw)

    Preload might be the right word. It has a spec, but it also is not servicable.

    Does the fuel pump run? FP to B+ in the diagnostic box.
