Not counting foreign markets, yes. Toyota changed over to the Lexus SC, and made the Supra a sports car.

The engine does not not need to be ripped apart to reset the cams. Just remove the belt and turn them straight up, with the bottom at zero.

Funny, when I worked at Toyota, we never recomended not using synthetics, or using Fram. Sometimes I wonder where these dealers are.

11 has nothing to do with engine timing either. One problem at a time.

TRD Supra test drive from 1987. The magazine is still in very good condition.

Wrong. edit; http://www.supramania.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=11975&d=1165383185 As I think about it, you could simply have forgotten it was a 4, and not a 5. It was 142, not 152. He has 143 on the chart, but that comes down to rounding.

No, they aren't supposed to rattle.

I can give you an electrical reason, but first, did you do any engine/harness swapping lately?

The cps is installed incorrectly, or the cam timing is just that far off.

Mathematically speaking, ft/lbs and lb'ft are the same, but lb/ft is the more correct of the two. Newtons are a more accurate measurement of force than pounds.

Oh hell yes, that is a good answer! :thumbup: :burnout:

And there we have it. It was a luxury GT.

Of course not. Not from 10 years ago anyway. But I can probably dig up others. I tried a google search first, and the first hit was a beloved 5.0 Mustang. I know the kids think, this is a Supra, so the laws of physics don't matter, but of course they do. It lost power up to 4800 RPM before...

IJ, the dyno shows otherwise, on the ones I have seen.

Even a big (by today's standards) engine benifits from a long runner manifold on a street car.

TRD did not build anything ever. They did however modify factory cars, including the MA70 Supra. That was 20 years ago, and I doubt this person has one. It was an $8600 upgrade.

If you have pitting on the block near the combustion chamber, you will likely burn the gasket out at that point.

Gross decrease in velocity. Works great at higher rpm though.

But you still asked it, and knuckle heads on here might not know.

How about a before and after dyno run with no other changes than a switch to an oversized plenum with no effective runner length?
