    Smoke AFTER decel, good compression, new turbo, 2000mi since rebuild

    If you lubed the rings when assembling, it will take time. You can put a vacuum gauge on your car and test. Bring the speed up to 3000 or so, then let it snap closed. It hould jump to nearly 30. If it can't, that is the problem.

    Cool/Rare parts thread?

    No intercooler? An intercooler is the charge air cooler that goes between the compound blowers for the not as well informed. Automotive intercoolers are really "charge air coolers", bu the name "intercooler" stuck. Have you attempted to measure temps going in? Not that you have the space for...

    obx lsd ??????

    Well, that is how an LSD works. The clutch pack prevents the side gears from walking around, forcing it to rotate as a unit.

    Yep. Offers to buy the car every spring pop up when I pull it out. By strangers to whom I have never talked.

    My 4 Door Supra Build

    You must have spent at least $30.00 on that meter. ;) I like the car/project. Do you still have the 3.91 in it, or did yo go to the 3.73/4.30?

    7m Na-t vs 7mgte ?

    They cool the piston, not the block. Unless you want to count minimal splash.

    7m Na-t vs 7mgte ?

    9.2:1 isn't exactly high compression. I would think it easier to just swap the whole engine, but I guess sometimes if the GE engine is ready to go, then I understand adding the blower. Here is one for you from back in the day. http://www.supramania.com/images/hosted/nickm/Cartech%207MGE1.jpg...

    Is the Fuel Pressure-Up VSV needed in my setup?

    Two hundred degrees. Give or take. More like give. I will look in the book if I remember to do it.

    Smoke AFTER decel, good compression, new turbo, 2000mi since rebuild

    Then there is a problem with the oil control rings. It is that or the hone. Do you understand the negative pressure when the throttle closes? Pressure tries to equalize. If the air can't come through the throttle, it will try and pull elsewhere.

    Smoke AFTER decel, good compression, new turbo, 2000mi since rebuild

    The very high vacuum from decel is "sucking" the oil in the chamber from the pan past the incorrectly assembled(or defective parst) shortblock. The turbo can leak that way also, but I will take his word about rebuilt and checked.

    The Luxocruiser 3650 lb sled thread

    Today I did unnecessary maintance that is an upgrade. I changed out the Halogen headlamps for a new super white bright light. And suprisingly, it was actually whiter while not being a tinted light like the gay blue ones. I am not sure how they do it, other than it isn't a standard incandesent...

    Got IDLE BUMP?

    Sequential engines only fire the injector in the firing order. Batch fires in groups of two or more. The injector fires when the intake valve is closed. And again when it opens.

    Got IDLE BUMP?

    The hot wire mass airflow sensor is the best. And I thought your question was answered.

    I think they should all come with a hot wire mass airflow senor from Hitachi.

    no power to my fuel pump

    The computer energizes the relay when it has the correct signals. And you are right, the relay could be dead. It is in the right kick panel. Get the EWD so you can see the right one. And then you can check to see if the ECU is energizing it when cranking.

    Idle / Stalling problems. Advice Please.

    If you unplug the airflow meter, the car will still run. It won't run better, the airflow meter is a primary input, not a correction factor where a known good value can be substitued. It won't run better if you unplug it. If you have the means, you can check the Hz output of the meter. About 30...

    High HC need suggestions and experienced opinions

    It could. You check it by having an oxygen sensor behind it. If the voltage switches like the front sensor, the cat is no working. This is how OBD II cars know whether or not you have a cat in place that works. Stock airflow meter and injectors? No performance mods? If you have a slight...
