PS- Your car only has 79,000 miles? Nice.

If you are getting oil streaming back onto the cat, I also suggest you check the turbo's feed and return line gaskets. Mine was leaky, and sent oil all the way down the exhaust. Low oil pressure wouldn't be the result of a steady oil leak, unless you were actually LOW on oil. It is more likely...

What is your fuel pressure set at on the adjustable fuel pressure regulator that you didn't mention you had in the first six posts? Also, please update if you've: repaired the broken FPR vsv replaced the broken o2 sensor checked to see if the J-tube was drilled out If you need to test the cold...

Doh! two step 8's! To be honest, I myself did what you suggest, and got upgraded IC and piping before a bigger turbo. But my excuse is that I swapped my car to turbo, and never had the stock IC components. Plus I wanted a big blingy FMIC.

I believe all the 'grooves' on the cam surfaces is aluminum 'babbit'(?)material, and would come off with a scotchbrite pad- it's not actually grooves or blemishes in the cam material itself. Since you just ordered BC cams, I suggest you look at one of your stock cams and really inspect the...

The cover doesn't have to come off, but I like to have it off, since being even slightly misaligned, can cause the cps to jump back one tooth as you ease it in.

Nice. I'd imagine it'll be slightly louder than you might want, but no big deal. Like you said, you can add as resonator or muffler to the mid section later. I have a generic Apexi-knockoff fartcan out back, and it's quite tolerable with the silencer in, but I wanted to get rid of some of the...

so, WOTAM then. I didn't get it either.

What muffler did you buy? I plan on doing an electric cutout for the same reasons, paired with a Borla muffler and possibly a mid muffler as well. I want it real quiet for everyday driving, even at the expense of max power.

Why do you want an HKS headgasket "because you can reuse it"? You plan on blowing it? A metal head gasket is always a good idea, but plan on having both the head and the block surfaces decked to a smoother finish, or you may be reducing the reliability of the gasket. So, you plan to upgrade to...

If this frame brace will get rid of the wet noodle feel with the targa top off... why do you also need to sell a targa top brace?

wow. No Peak for me.

Why are people suggesting a standalone system for a 350hp goal? I could see a standalone, if the person wants to go much further in the future, but I wouldn't go standalone for under 400hp. I would say to upgrade in the following order, if 350 truly is your max desire: 1. ARP headstuds and...

If you own a Supra and work on it yourself, You MUST own a repair guide of some sort. Hayne's, Chilton's, or a Toyota TSRM. at the very least, you need to refer to the online TSRM. It will tell you how to adjust your ignition timing. The preferred choice for antifreeze/ coolant is Toyota...

Um. Huh? If the starter was the problem, how could it be cranking? And if it's cranking, then how can it not be 'turning over'? If you mean it's not actually running(but it is cranking/ turning over), why would you think the starter is the problem???

Ah yes, just read that in your sig. Then all bets are off. The ecu itself(or its wiring) could be causing the problem.

Aligning the cps is more luck than procedure. Not downing on your execution. Even if you line up the mark perfectly, you have nearly a 50% chance of it rotating one tooth off of correct.

Stock rating on an alternator? 70 na, 80 turbo. That's at speed, I think though, so an idle output would be questionable.

OK, ok...MAYBE I was wrong... :) Make sure the afm wiring is plugged in tight to the afm If so, try unplugging your tps, and see if it runs better.

How were you able to veryify CPS timing if it doesn't run? Are you saying you timed the ignition to 10 degrees at ~250rpm cranking speed? That would mean its WAY off of running position @800rpm. If anything, I would retard the timing from that point and try again.
