    available bolt on turbo options.

    Because they are a machine shop and not a reatail store? And as such shouldn't try to be the second without dedication? They make good products. Yeah, their commo leaves a lot to be desired.

    Will no radiator shroud cause a problem?

    It pulls air across the entire radiator, not just the fan part. And putting air on the engine has nothing to do with it.

    Engine missing when it is hot

    Rich is easier to fire than lean. Notice how he said in closed loop is when it starts missing? The ECT sensor has leaned out his mixture. He should look at his ignition.

    whats a decent radiator for my budget?

    With our rash of high 90's, even 91 at midnight the other day, my stock radiator is holding out just fine. I had the Sport roof in place, and the A/C cranked the whole time. It is also new, and I don't recomend it for the money. It is still NipponDenso, but even they are manufacturing in...

    available bolt on turbo options.

    I was on SupraSport the other day, and the Boss Jr wasn't listed. I really like mine. The JT series seems good also. I haven't read complaints about it, only pleased reviews. It is similar to the Boss/Boss Jr.

    Cranking but no oil pressure on the gauge.

    Don't forget that 200-250 rpm won't provide much flow from the pump.

    a340 not acting right

    Unplug the range selector switch. That is where the harness plugs into the transmission. Drive it, then come back. DTC=Diagnostic trouble code

    Cooling System Rehaul

    Flow isn't the issue. The permacool can break, but that doesn't mean it will. And the intercooler hose runs in the same spot. If you are factory original hoses, you can just push them to the side. But that isn't optimal.

    i got the empty wallet blues....

    If you are broke, what were you doing shopping for used shroud?

    Disable check engine light?

    Yep. The J1939 network. They (Navistar) were using the twisted pair so the control unit can recognize the unwanted induction. I understand what you are saying, and wasn't thinking about the signal generation.

    Disable check engine light?

    With a lot of newer cars being multiplexed, do you suppose they use a twisted pair to account for lies? Or have you seen documenation that says so for certain. I haven't touched hardly any newer cars.

    I need some 7m-gte engine build advice

    The engine is non interfernce. You would need to take more off the deck that Toyota allows to be an issue.

    SIP Racing MLS Headgaskets

    You might check the Greek Dragster, aka Gary Curmi who has the 1400 hp 7MGTE rail car. I won't say he is running it because I don't know, but they rub elbows. Interesting about the Cometic. I guess that means Cometic is decent quality.

    failed smog. check it out!

    I can not verify how much the precat affects emissions. Our state isn't testing OBD I anymore. But I can tell you the myth about cold starts is just that. Being close to the head it will warm quicker and help, but it is to reduce all three during driving.

    a340 not acting right

    If the O/D off light is on, it isn't supposed to go into overdrive. Check DTC's first.

    car alarm wont let car start

    See the blue wire with the red tracer that says "USA"? Ground it. This is an 89, and your colors may be different. Get the EWD for your year. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TEWD/MK3/manual.aspx?S=Main&P=038[COLOR="Silver"]

    oil filter thread size 7M, 1JZ, 2JZ???

    I alternate between my stash of 08922-02011 and Napa Gold. When the Toyota is gone, I won't get any more. Toyota no longer sells it, but that doesn't mean some dealer some where has stock of it. Or ebay. That number is the older USA made filter. Good, but not great. The Napa Gold is made by Wix...
