    Porting Stock Turbo Exhaust Elbow

    A die grinder or dremel tool. Die grinder is better for it. You will need air to run a die grinder.

    I can help solve our national deficit

    Cade, I agree that biodiesel is a great unused resource. Wont stop the deficit, especially in war. Let us not kid ourselves into thinking Bill Clinton gave us balanced budgets. The booming economy we have had since 1983 has increased tax revenues tenfold despite the lower tax rates by having...

    Had nice day fishing

    Sharks that are 4 to 7 feet look small compared to a Tiger shark. Those are just Nurse sharks.

    sport package question...

    I have owned 4 7MGE 5 Speed Supras. None of which were the sports package, and 3 had LSD. Sports package was a way to get a few more bucks from the customer. And it adds a few more pounds.

    I did something stupid. Bought a new truck

    They are real nice riding truck. When at Toyota I put a blower on a customer's car. He financed a new truck, and put the blower on the finance charge. The kit is kind of pricey though. Have fun. Want some justification? A newer Corolla would have cost the same.

    Had nice day fishing

    We will be cooking marinated steaks actually. Not sure what to have with the fish yet though. Largemouth bass is one of my favorite catches. Those are always catch and release for me. Where do you think that taco came from? Mooo.... Pacific ocean, in IJ's "neighbor hood" if you will. Yeah, that...

    starting problems...

    If you leave the B+ line on, and disconect the ground from the battery, it wont actually hit the ground when you drop it. ;)

    Emissions Test.. How to pass?

    Overlap will increase HC, but not CO. Now just figure out why you have a rich mixture. And fix the knock sensor signal also.

    Using too much oil...

    A turbo shaft should have no end to end movement. But it will move up and down. Not so much you can see it move, just feel the movement. If not, it wont rotate. How do you know you added enough to start with? Top it off and see how low it is at the next oil change.

    Got my baseline dyno

    There will always be variations from the manufacturer claims. And with a mechnanical wastegate tolerance as big as ours, factory performance can vary quite a bit. Stock boost is 5.5-7.5 psi, and the auto is a little lower. So you could go as low as say 170 and as high as 205, or somewhere in...

    Automatic rpm's???

    You both have an automatic? You both have stock size tires? Becuase both of your speeds are wrong. 85 mph with an A340E and 3.73 with stock tires will turn just over 3000 rpm. With the converter locked.

    My 91 supra gets 10-12mpg...HELP

    Sounds more like long term fuel trim is way rich. Easy on the loud pedal. Pull DTC's and see what you come up with.

    Got my baseline dyno

    Stock exhaust is like a giant cork. Run the dyno in stages if you can. With exhaust last so you can see what it costs.

    8.20sec @174mph 7m Powered Dragster

    I am guessing a non conventional trans. It might be a built domestic, but likely a Liberty 5 speed or something of the like.

    Had nice day fishing

    One tuna was given away prior to the pic. The ultimate prize was not to be had, a marlin.

    Had nice day fishing

    We caught 4 ono, and 8 tuna. One ono was oversized. He was about 4 feet long. He had an attitude. Gaffled his ass good, he kept trying to take my fingers on hook retrival. Sharp little teeth. Razor sharp in fact.

    You know you're an N/A owner when...

    Even with the excess weight, a 7MGE 5 speed Supra should hanlde most of its real competition. 4.30's go a long way to offset the weight. If your car is running right.
