    You never mentioned what diagnostic codes your engine shows. What are they?

    Funky starting issue

    If your tps is adjusted far enough off, it could read zero throughout, i believe. And yes, it can run with a bad tps.

    happy with my dyno results!

    I was under the impression that Mustang dyno's read a bit higher that some others. But I can see your hp number being in the right ballpark. I would guess that you're up to at least 9psi. The oem boost gauge isn't very reliable. But like everyone said- that torque number is a bit off the norm. I...

    engine seems like it shivers 7mgte

    Are you sure that ALL of your spark plugs are firing? Cause that's what the problem sounds like. If any water gets down in the spark valley, the plug wire will ground to the head, rather than send the spark to the plug. That, or two of the wires may be on the wrong plugs.

    My DUI victim 1990 Turbo.

    I also like that you saved a Supra from the scrap heap. The meteor grey is a rare color? I though it was rather common. Don't get me wrong- It's my favorite color! ps- Don't forget to swap out that passenger molding for the proper one.

    Dyno my baby today :)

    I got 260whp/ 261 ft-lbs tq on mine at 7.5 psi. My mods at the time were full 3" exhaust, MAFT basic in suck-through, and ic with hardpipes. I think I benefited from a cooler intake charge than stock, and the only thing that the maft helped with is the ability to mess with afr's, compared to a...

    Car looks good. So...What are you planning to do to it now?

    7mgte swap. Car started first crank last week. Won't start now.

    How lean? It should be pretty lean at idle. With 560's, Walbro and a Lex AFM, you shouldn't be lean. Check your Neo adjustments?

    Project Git 'er done!: Stages 1, 2, 3, 4....Stage 5- Reassembly after 13 years!!!

    We'll see. I checked the new spacers tonight, and they are almost fully cured. They seem to be just slightly harder than the original rubber, which is what i wanted. I have to go out of town for a few days, so I'll just let them sit on the bench, so I know that they'll be fully cured when I get...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Created new rear subframe poly spacers to tighten up the rear. After I reinstall the subframe, I move on to the front subframe restoration.

    John's 87 N/A where did my money go!? Build(ish)

    I do intend to use real leather, and perhaps a suede insert. I'm willing to pay the extra $$ for longevity.

    Project Git 'er done!: Stages 1, 2, 3, 4....Stage 5- Reassembly after 13 years!!!

    So here's what I've been doing today. I had BIC nylon rear subframe bushings, but they were too noisy, transmitting too much of the diff noise into the car. If this were going to be a track car, I wouldn't care, as they do take out all the slop, but this is going to be a road car for 99% of its...

    John's 87 N/A where did my money go!? Build(ish)

    Sorry for spreading mis-information, I always thought 7M headbolts were TTY. I agree that ARP headstuds are not necessary for an NA. ps- I like your seats. I intend to do the same thing next month for my maroon interior, but I'll do the reverse- maroon seats with a black insert.

    John's 87 N/A where did my money go!? Build(ish)

    Do not re-use your head bolts. They are torque-to-yield, and as they have already been torqued at least once, they have already been stretched, and they should be replaced. Stock-type head bolts are very cheap.

    Car will now not start.

    Sounds like a weak battery. Question is- why was there smoke? Was it from overheating? If so- why did it overheat? Or was it something actually burning- if so, what?

    Fuel injector o-rings and rubber inserts & question about removing the timing pulleys

    What he said. Plus, I think Driftmotion probably uses Toyota o-rings. But regardless, I've never had an issue with any brand o-rings.
