    safe boost level

    OEM factory head gasket, 50 trim ct26, ARP studs, na fuel pump, stock injectors and I run 11-12 psi with no problems. Over the last 2-3 years I've watched my afrs and never had it go above 11 or so. Plenty safe. The stock head gaskets can take a lot more than what most seem to think. Sent from...

    A lot has changed since I've been involved with the Supra community.

    I've spent a lot less time around the forums for the last couple years. Seems like a lot of other folks have done the same and the newer folks are struggling to pick up the slack. Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

    Charcoal canister/bvsv question

    Hmm.. I thought heat allowed gas to be desorbed from activated carbon. I suppose you could say it might help adsorption on cool down because the heat desorbed much of the vapors that were in the tank previously. In effect, cleaning the filter for the next round. There are charcoal canisters...

    Charcoal canister/bvsv question

    Really? I haven't read that anywhere. Do you have any more info on this? I'd like to relocate mine, but I don't have any intention of making it less effective. Was the JZA70 located near a heat source? I could have sworn I'd seen systems with the evap canister outside the engine bay, away from...

    Charcoal canister/bvsv question

    I have mine in the same location, just mounted to a homemade aluminum bracket that orients it a little differently and gets rid of the bulky factory bracket underneath the canister. I've had a hard time finding a similar canister, that's smaller, that has an integrated check valve with a...

    Gata be something better

    You must be getting bad master cylinders or you've got a really bad habit that's killing them. fix one or both of those and it should last a long time.

    Auto to manual question

    The RPM measurement should not be affected. Your RPMs don't seem far off. *What trans and diff do you have?

    Garbage ABS?

    ABS works differently for different cars and tire types, etc... If you drive in the snow step one is to get snow tires. I drove my NA with no ABS and snow tires with zero problems. I NEVER lost traction while braking, only when I would try to give it too much gas would I break traction. Snow...

    Coilovers and mounts, yes yes I know but hear me out

    I'd look at a good shock spring combo over the tiens unless you're going all out for their electronic system. Coilovers are probably not the most street friendly option. If you do track days, they're a decent option. I've got similar needs as you and I'm looking at koni sports and Eibach or...

    What experiences have you had using your brake set-up (pads in specific)

    StopTech Street Performance pads on Brembo blanks for me. It's been a great low cost street option for me. Dust: Moderate. Much more than stock pads, but not awful. Noise: Quiet. I can't tell they're any louder than stock pads. Braking: Work very well for the street. I haven't done a track...

    Need help ASAP, fuse short

    Yeah, I'd wager you'll need to go through just about all the wiring. It's a big task, but on a JZ swap it's probably worth doing. This is one reason why I'd be *really* cautious about buying a car with a JZ swap (or any major motor swap) done at home or a no-name shop. Doing all the wiring...

    Need help ASAP, fuse short

    First things first. I'd start at the fuse box. Which is the left kick box. You can take out the interior trim piece around that box pretty easy. Take a good, hard look around that area. That's a common spot for people to tap into wiring. What makes you think rear? I'm not 100% convinced the...

    Need help ASAP, fuse short

    I've done my fair share of wiring diagnostics and it's no fun, but there's no short cut. It's a pain, but worth taking time to sort out. Start at the fuse you're blowing. Search the area around that loom for any modified wiring spots. Look for anything that looks out of place. Extra...

    The Fruition of Obsession -- 310,000 mile makeover --

    Yeah, it may be my best bet. As much as I cringe at a critical component in the motor being an Autozone item (or more specifically, a Cardone item), it may be my best bet since the OEM option is just outrageously priced. I could buy 1/4 of a solid 2JZ swap for as much as Toyota wants for the...

    The Fruition of Obsession -- 310,000 mile makeover --

    I saw that a while back, but dismissed it because it was Cardone. Although, looking at it now... it's half the price of new Toyota and it's got a lifetime warranty... Perhaps it's worth a shot. I wonder if they use completely new wiring and a new connector? Thanks for the suggestion, it's...

    The Fruition of Obsession -- 310,000 mile makeover --

    Wow, time for an update I guess. 334,000 miles on the chassis now. I rebuilt the CPS this summer and it still leaks. I'm guessing I should have used a 7mm seal instead of the standard 6mm. The CPS has a loose coil inside as well. I probably need to replace the whole CPS with new. Suspension...

    What are you guys missing in parts/service/manufacturing support for the MK3 Chassis?

    1. Drop in Headlight replacements. High quality and road safe (not necessarily DOT approved or anything, just non-glare, non-dueche bag headlights) 2. Reproduction taillights. Just like factory is fine, but LED would be great. 3. Certified (thoroughly tested) used CPS units. Tested and/or...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    I think I have info in my sig thread. At work now, so I don't have a bunch of time to check. If it's not in there, let me know. I have the digi-key part numbers somewhere.
