    Bolt-on Turbonetics shined up and installed *Pics*

    So did you use an adapter to mate the turbo to the stock manifold, or was the turbine housing made to bolt straight up?? It looks great.

    Help Pinging noice coming from under the car when i move .

    Lol...Anyway- It sounds to me like the input shaft shield on the tranny is rubbing on the driveshaft, OR the exhaust piping itself is hitting the driveshaft.

    84mm mhg

    Having a gasket 1mm over the size of the bore shouldn't adversely affect the CR, but go ahead and figure it out exactly; http://www.csgnetwork.com/compcalc.html This calculation includes adjustment for the head gasket bore, among all of the other variables.

    84mm mhg

    perfectly, no worries. It's normal for the bore on a head gasket to be slightly larger. This is good in case you decide to bore the cylinders any larger than stock.

    My Mahogany Brown Pearl 86.5 - my first Supra

    I almost got those rims in grey for my car, but ended up sticking with my original plan and ordered the 502's in the same sizes as you did. They're supposed to arrive Monday; I'll be using 235/40/18's up front, and 265/35/18's in the back. Hopefully, I won't have any rubbing issues...

    Where can I get these wheels???

    I googled all of those titles, and the only thing I found was someone saying that someone else said some rivets came out of the 501 model, but it was only cosmetic. Personally looking to pick up a set of 502's in chromium black.

    speedohmeter cable

    My lower cable broke and it was $16 from the dealer. Verify your upper cable is good or bad by hooking a drill up to the upper cable flex shaft, down where you disconnected it. I did this and saw that my speedo read fine, so I knew it was the cheap lower section that needed replacing.

    Help....

    yeah- when I got my swap, someone had already rewired the knock sensors, but 6 months later, the harness started rubbing on the EGR area, and melted/shorted the KS wire, and bang! code 52. the KS rewire is fast, easy, and brings immediate improvement to performance.

    Jarco Rebuilt Engine

    In a way, I guess I can be a reference for Jarco. I have NOT purchased an engine from them, but because I have purchased a number of items from them in the past, I asked them who they recommended I use to machine my motor. The gave me the name of the shop they use in Canton, GA. Those guys...

    playing on the CNC mill today

    Great idea, Zero- I like it! It might be a bit too 'bling' for me to have the entire pax side of the dash light up, but I could always paint the back of it black except for the supra logo.

    550cc Injectors...

    You also want to make sure you choose the right impedance injectors for your car. You didn't say what year your is, but I know that the 87-88 turbos are low impedance injectors.

    building up a blown 7mge n/a

    Sell the 5.0 and get a 7mgte swap. It'll drop right in, and you'll have a car 10x more unique than a 5.0. I mean- I can't swing a dead cat without hitting a mustang...but a supra? rare. Also, it's my opinion that a MkIII supra just feels better to drive than a mustang, especially if you have...
