    The NARSupra

    PS- you said that the head was rebuilt- Are you sure that the cam timing is correct? A couple of teeth off, and the car won't hardly run.

    Who's doing it?

    I did for two years, no problems. This was at ~ 12lbs boost on stock CT.

    7mgte Pistons

    30 psi, but you DON'T want to spend money on pistons? I say you make sure you get some really good pistons, rods and bearings for that kind of abuse. Probe pistons are cheaper than others, but I would spend the extra money on having them thermo coated for those kind of boost levels.

    Oil Pumps

    You will see pressure on the gauge- it'll take about 10-15 seconds, and it won't be a huge amount.

    Ladies and gentlemen- Give it up for a pair of working hatch struts!!!

    brake fluid pissing out the tranny seal!!?

    If this is on an R154, you better check that the slave cylinder rod is seated on the clutch fork, and hasn't shot out- if it did, that'd be why you're spilling brake fluid, and why you have no pedal resistance. PS- otherwise, make sure your bleed valve to the slave is CLOSED.

    GA Supras

    Well, today's the 1st Thursday of the month- anyone heading down to the midtown Varsity meet tonight? I was also wondering- now that I live in Lawrenceville, is there anywhere up here that people like to cruise/ congregate? I used to live in Kennesaw, and Barrett pkwy was the place to go- if...

    Supermonitor; 7MGE and 7MGTE interchangeability

    7MGE to 7MGTE swap with supermonitor, no problems. Just wish I got the mileage the monitor claimed I was running. : )

    Supra is rattling like crazy when I rev near 3k RPM

    Yeah, it's definately better to have the motor rebuilt- it's the only way to really know that you're starting with a trouble-free motor. Sometimes, a freshly- rebuilt shortblock or longblock pops up on the for sale section. Now here's what you really should do now. start the car up, and put a...

    quad tip exhaust possible?

    "I could get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a cow's ass, but I'd rather take the butcher's word...." :biglaugh: Just wanted to use that line.... Anyway- Quad tip, possible? Yes. Mess up performance? No. Look good? Questionable. Pain-in-the-butt? Definately. The...

    Compression ratio and engine heat

    I also doubt that a shaved head would cause obvious increases in temp. Check fan clutch as mentioned, and also thermostat- it may be sticking closed, which would be the same condition as a bad water pump. Also- you used a Stone head gasket? Not familiar with them.

    Kaze Aerocraft

    As I recall, It took Acroth a LOT of time and money to set up this body kit. Also, you'll need some wide wheels to fit with the kit properly. If all you want to do is 'spice' up the car a bit, I highly recommend a shine front lip. They're understated, and look like a factory sport upgrade...

    Fuel pressure

    How long does it take to run low on fuel pressure? Is it immediate? You definately need a fully-charged battery to determine what's going on.

    Car not boosting smoothly!

    Your fuel pressure is only 26psi? I have mine set to about 35. I thought stock was in the low 30's. Someone smarter than me please chime in on this. I use a gap of .28 on NGK coppers. No problems here.
