    Did the Head Bolt fault affect N/As?

    No. There isn't a fault with any 7M headbold. Except the ones cokebottled by knuckleheads.

    A/C isnt working and Compressor Fans arent working.

    Is the compressor running when you turn it on? Also pull DTC's and see if you get 51 with the AC button on.

    AC Problem???

    Or the radiator is bad. It means your cooling system is not working right.

    Oil pressure or guage issue?

    Driving with an oil-coolant milkshake will not protect your engine bearings or crankshaft. "Rod knock" is often heard afterward by those that do.

    Oil pressure or guage issue?

    How long have you owned your car? As the engine bearings wear, their clearance becomes bigger. That lowers resistance to flow, making the gage read lower resistance, aka psi. As the engine ages, the spring that is the relief valve can soften, opening it earlier, reducing flow to the...

    ac question help

    No, you are probably in need of a new control valve for the heater core. They stick with old age. So does the solenoid controlling the valve.

    No new Supra?

    Toyota decided some time ago, that they were not a sports car company. And *If* they sell a sports car again, it will be in the Lexus line. And that was when oil was $40 a barrell.

    Tranny grinding only in 1st,2nd 3rd and 5th HELP!

    Here is why Figgie is probably right, and jdub. The rings are the only grinding you hear. The gears are in mesh at all times, that is why it is called a syncronized transmission. The rings change the speed of the gears on the shaft. There are no gears for 4th, as IJ pointed out. It is direct...

    Oil filter relocation

    Why would you put it before the filter? It has to go before the cooler. You can filter before or after.

    No start because of not spark or gas

    Yeah, it doesn't start because you aren't getting spark.

    automatic turbo supras

    An automatic nets less power to the wheels because of the slippage of the fluid coupling. It has less load on the engine than a manual. Despite what one poster said. That is why boost is lower. Autos are 4.8-6.0 with a CT26, and the manual is 5.5-7.5 stock. More load(parasitic drag), more boost.

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    I know what you mean. But there are a few. The EWD shows pinout voltage, but that is sometimes just a range also. And it doesn't always match. Some of these guys have datalogged, or just used a meter to check things. For example the TPS doesn't make the 4.5 v typical of a 5 volt refrence. Only...

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    The factory EWD is very detailed, as is the repair manual. One note, Toyota doesn't employ a typical 5 volt refrence on the ECT sensor. It compares voltage needed to overcome ther NTC resitor to a 5 volt refrence. I would have to get the book out to see what else though. AFM is Hz, knock...

    HKS 75MM Cat-Back

    The HKS system when tested for 65mm back in 1987 picked up a max of 36 rwhp, with peak to peak of 31 rwhp, with no other changes. Yes, it looks stock and is fairly quiet.

    question for guys with gt35r

    He said 15 psi on his GT isn't the same, not all boost is equal. You said You tune because of the fuel mods you need to run the boost the new turbo will allow you to run... Lex/550 didn't come up. I will let this one go...

    Problem starting

    When you open the throttle plate, air is pushed into the engine, which is in vacuum. This air is metered by the airflow meter. Based on that and time, fuel is injected. You are not getting the injection part. Why? I don't know, I haven't seen your car. Make sure the AFM is plugged in good...

    Out of ideas: The dreaded Toyota "Click" when attempting to start.

    Why is the click dreaded? At least you know exactly where to look. Get rid of all the useless aftermarket garbage you have.
