    Radiator questions?

    So is that bailing wire or coat hanger you are using?

    auto tranny, shifting hard

    I think you are stuck in direct, which is a solenoid failure. But sometimes drivability descriptions are tough to do. edit: Scratch that, and pull the codes. I think you have a control problem, but that doesn't mean a solenoid problem. Does the car take off very slow, and if you put it in 1...

    how much pressure is safe for injectors?

    Shaeff, when it is flooded, hold the pedal to the floor. This works in every EFI car that I know of, but I don't know that it works in every car. Typically it is called clear flood mode, and injection is cut to 20%. V6 pickup? That starter is a fucker to get out.

    In person, the roof panel isn't as bad on the edge as it looks. That is glare. But the panel just does not look as good as the rest of the car. So I do I fix it? What type of product from Mother's or Meguiar's can you suggest. I think the term is oxydized, but this isn't my area. It almost...

    Dynoed my car

    I was refering to the 2JZ swap. That is a lot of money when a $1500 SP61GT would have done that. So you are planning on a lot more. That is all I was asking. Bring it to SILV.

    blown 22re (as in broken)- hole in block, and runs. :)

    That engine has a double roller timing chain. It used to have metal guides to hold it in place. Toyota went to plastic for noise reduction and CAFE. That is fine for the first 150,000 miles, but the plastic breaks and the chain bounces off the front cover. In time, it does break through...

    head work?

    Yep. Is it worth the money, probably not. We know it will do 600 flywheel horsepower without a bowl blend.

    Adjust throttle cable for accelerator feel?

    If there is one thing that stands out for the Supra when I let people drive it, it is the stiffness of the accelerator pedal. The return spring is stiffer than a wedding dick. If yours is really loose, it has an issue.

    Question to all who know!!!

    The Cressida had a different intake cam profile also, which the Supra changed to after 87-88.

    Dynoed my car

    Are you planning on a dyno queen or something?

    i can never find an answer to this.

    How well would a 3S-GTE fit in that AE86, since it is light weight?

    Aftrer market master cylinder??

    Your car needs service. A little study of Pascal's laws would help in understanding the mastercylinder, and why you don't need a great big one.

    blown 22re (as in broken)- hole in block, and runs. :)

    IT is too blurry to tell what is going on. I guess if there is a way to break a rod without jamming it into the block then that is possible. While those last a long time, they are not thick walled and don't have stout shortblock pieces.

    Retracting light are pozessed

    Good luck, since you can't describe a simple symptom, such as stuck down, stuck up, one up one down etc. etc.

    Turbo Sizing Experts Please

    On the Boss? They say it is an ITS center section, with either a floater or dual ceramic, your choice. You can get it with a big shaft also, for strength. Yeah, I have been window shopping. ;)

    External oil pressure regulator?

    Smaller oil passages for the higher psi? I do know that 4.3 at idle is the lowest spec I have personally looked up.

    Turbo Sizing Experts Please

    IJ; interesting. I don't want to hijack hard, but this could apply to the original poster as well. I think the LIPP/ITS turbo sold through Suprasport as the Boss 4 will do well also. It even has a fancy shroud over the turbine wheel to deflect some of the turbulence from the wastegate. And it...
