Correct me if I'm wrong but the way the harness is setup it's almost impossible to wire them out of sequence due to the length of the connector wires. Besides which on 89 and later cars the connectors are brown-grey-brown-grey-brown-grey. This is what your talking about right? If not...

I know it sucks, but you really don't want to waste your time and more money on this head. If you do it's gonna worry you every time you drive it untill it fails and then you're really going to be pissed. If you were my brother (and you sort of are) I'd advise you to cut your losses and find...

There is some kind of coating on the sensor inside the afm and as figgie said if you cleaned it you f'd it up. I've heard stories of people cleaning it with some kind of chemical found in photo labs but even then it doesn't last long. Looks like it's time to dig deep in the old wallet.

Have you had a look at your oil and your coolant yet? Start there. Any oil where it shouldn't be? (in radiator) or coolant where it shouldn't be? (in crankcase). After that, I'd have a look at all my connections electrical, vacuum and exhaust. Good luck and post with what you find.

BULLSHIT! I don't know who... but, I guarantee you someone out there knows how to set up an a340e properly. I hear this crap all the time and I don't buy it. They (Toyota) use this tranny in alot of applications and I don't think Toyota would so universally use this trans if it were a...

NEW HEAD...NEW MACHINE SHOP! :nono:

I was really hoping you would get some answers on this as I also am interested. I suspect no-one really knows much about the a340e. Appearantly we automatic supra owners are persona non grata... :cry:

It's hard to argue with 0 or near 0 wear on the stock rings after 143k mi. I wonder if anybody else out there has had a similar or disimilar experience?

What about going with an aftermarket HEI and thereby eliminating the need for the distributor to crank sensor/coilpack swap? How much (if anything) would you lose by going this route? What exactly do you gain with the turbo ignition system vs. the n/a?

I disagree, it's definitely a cool mod....thanks!

Assuming that you've got all the n/a stuff (I do) other then the normal turbo parts; would anything have to be fabricated? Maybe I'm not seeing the whole picture but I don't see why this would be such a big hassle. Can someone enlighten me? :icon_conf

Maybe I'm dense...but do the side markers stay lit when the turn signal is not in use (with headlights on)?

After seeing mkiii's with 19" wheels and tires I think that's the way to go. Looks great! Does anyone know how wide of tire and at what profile (35's, 40's etc) you can go on a mkiii without getting into rubbing the inner fenderwells or other problems? What affect might this have on handling and...

Are you gonna lower it? LOL

I've been told (by a very qualified source) that an N/A intake manifold flows significantly better then a stock Turbo intake manifold. Anyone else ever heard this? Has anyone got a N/A intake manifold to turbo set-up? Pics? Or info on setting this up? What kind of problems might one expect to...

Thanks IJ. I edited it for more impact. Never good enough (I've got issues...I think.)

If it were me I'd start with the radiator exhaust gas test and get that out of the way. I'd rather get the bad news upfront and not chase my tail doing a bunch of fixes on the cooling system that aren't gonna correct the problem. Been there, done that and bought the celebrity t-shirt thank-you.

Agreed in most applications however, on this particular hose...ehhhhh....no big.

I hate to say it but the synptoms you describe are classsic blown head gasket problems. For one thing your temperature gauge shouldn't be above the half way mark. In fact, a healthy supra runs well below the halfway mark on the temperature gauge. My gauge never varies and I live in California...

I replaced mine with a 3/4 in piece of hose (as I remember) and I think I put a spring in the middle to keep it from collapsing. Anyways, I haven't had any problems. For what it's worth. I probably would have bought it but the dealers around here never have anything in stock and as I recall...
