    HKS Sport Turbo?

    Seems like Larry A had some not nice things to say about his HKS turbo on SF. I think it was him.

    POLL: Color of your supra

    Mine is bright red, and has been resprayed. I think OE was called Super red 2. For the record, black is the best when cleaned and polished.

    Hard to start when warm, after BHG job

    A relay buzzing could be weak. I can't say I have heard them buzz before. You sure it wasn't the pump? Your weak rest pressure is probably even weaker now. You can isolate the check valve in the pump versus the pressure regulator by pinching the return or supply, and having a pressure guage...

    Missing Power on lowend

    You have a bad torque converter. The stator, which applies one way direction, is spinning both ways. Your car probably drives normal on the freeway right? It just can't get out of its own way from a stop, and stall is close to 2500. One other thing. Your car is heavy and has a small...

    HKS Sport Turbo?

    The LIPP/ITS sold through SupraSport is also bolt on.

    How bad is brake boosting?

    There are too many lies and rumors in this thread for anything to be taken serous. You can hold the brake of an auto off the line with a good cooler. With the stock cooler, you will over heat the fluid, and loose clamping force of the clutch packs in the trans. This is why your car went...

    squeaky brakes

    Aftermarket pads with new stock rotors? Metal to metal contact, and you might just have to live with it. Even with the anti squeal springs installed. The wishbone piece pushes the pad off of the rotor for wear reasons.

    Will the 2JZGTE 550's fit into the 7M Fuel rail?

    So you are one of the many clowns that managed to trash an engine?:sarcasm: :biglaugh:

    BTU efficiency to horsepower

    If I turn in the converter for one with a higher stall, it will heat up more. 24,500 is a pretty big size. And after getting the stacked oil cooler from B&M, I will be doing the same on the trans cooler. If IPT says that is needed, then that is good enough for me. Good info.

    T3 Manifold

    Cartech makes a manifold in T3 or T4. But lately, Cartech seems to have problems. Leaking intercoolers for people that want a cheaper product.

    Will the 2JZGTE 550's fit into the 7M Fuel rail?

    That is too bad. Being a JZ injector, you would have picked up at leas 140 hp.

    Helicoil error found (PICS ADDED)

    The thread pitch is wrong. Even if the bolts were the right size, it wouldn't work.

    No Spark for my 7M-GE

    Unlike these clowns, I have never had to push a Supra. I think they have said they parked it on a hill before now that I think about it.

    Helicoil error found (PICS ADDED)

    Either tap is wrong, or the bolt. Depends on how you look at it.

    Eletrical short?

    You can take the harness apart and clean it. Too tedious for me. Why do you think he ditched it(the car). And you could have muddy water inside the insulation, if the weather protectors are dry rotted.

    No Spark for my 7M-GE

    Does no STA shut down EFI?

    Bit of a vacuum question

    The print is too small. You have a question at the air filter for a VSV. It doesn't affect performance until it lets dirt in. You have one on the intake air control valve, aka ACIS vacuum resevoir. It should be hooked up to the tree. Do you not a have a label under the hood? That canister...

    Wiring Harness Diagnosis...Repair/Replace?

    The same as the MIL. So he said the distributor worked okay, what else did he say? The distributor has to be spinning to generate a signal. Did you look at the EWD? I pulled up that diagram since I think you didn't. The ECU supplies ground to that relay, not power. That is typical...

    7mgte rev problem

    Does it stumble and buck when you get on it hard? The Boss 61 might be too big for the Lex. But you would see a 34 also.
