Wikipedia is pretty much dead on as long as you don't look at the controversy subjects. Even those are right at least 50% of the time. You can get a really good idea of the controversy level on any page by looking at the revision history.

With that big block between the drive wheel and the compressor housing, there could be some really serious gearing in there. I'm pretty sure that there has to be, actually, or there's no way he could get any real boost out of it.

Shaddup. Duane and I are the same age. (but I don't have any grandkids...) Sentences at 21 months - that's ahead of the curve by a fair bit, congrats! Better start saving for that edumacation bill... ;)

The starter is super easy with 2 people on it. One guy underneath with a wrench on one side, the other guy up top with the ratchet and a bunch of extensions. Guy on top feeds in the socket on extensions, guy on the bottom guides it onto the starter bolts, then holds the other side with the...

No sale. He needs to have available information that explains things like compressor maps, flow numbers rather than bullshit pressure readings, some kind of explanation for how he handles the bearing lubrication issue - oil in a supercharger being self contained is one thing, but turbo style...

Decide how much money you are willing to pay, and bring that amount with you, in cash. That way, you can't just pay more for it on the spot, you HAVE to leave, find a bank, get extra money, then come back. The extra time it takes to do that will let you cool down and really think about it...

If you can't get it to open with a pump, then the vacuum membrane in the actuator is torn. I'd try jtamulis (notrice.com) or aaron (driftmotion) for the actuator, I'm pretty sure either or both of them can get them.

Nah, although if I'd thought of it in time, I'd have done it! But it's so easy! Trailer hitch mounts on the Supra in under 5 minutes. I guess the wiring might take a bit longer... I'm still astounded that Toyota set it up for a trailer. A buddy of mine with a Corvette got me started on the...

Sounds like you might be hitting a genuine fuel cut. $2 boost leak tester will help. Plugging a bicycle pump with a gauge into the wastegate line and watching to see if it opens will rule out a broken wastegate. If both of those turn out ok, I'd guess you may need to pick up a fuel tuning...

They are cheap, even from the dealer. I tend to replace mine about every year just because.

Trailer on the Supra FTW.

Sorry, I haven't modified one myself, this is knowledge gleaned from years of reading the forums / SOGI mailing list. I went out of my way to purchase a Mk3 specific Greddy unit when I bought one, because my welding / machining skills are sorely lacking.

Don't make me start to make generalizations based on color, mr. "I own every generation of Supra"!!! :icon_razz

Generally they don't quite fit, but can be modified relatively easy. Several of the mk4 TRD units have been modded to fit the Mk3.

CAI is a great idea. Making one that will fit with all the mods people have done is going to be a PITA. If you take on the task, let us know. If it'll fit mine, I'd buy one.

Ironically enough, it's doing the same thing that they do - generalizing based on profession. The police generalize based on what look like. Admittedly, they refine that based on how you act, speak, and what you do for a living. OT A friend of mine is a lawyer. Border guards and police...

No, that makes you a punk with no respect for the rules that the rest of society has agreed to live under. As witnessed by your confrontational post style, here. Point taken. The poster should have left the skater comment out. There are absolutely punks out there screwing around at the...

He's been driving the convertible instead!

I spend a fair amount of time up there in the summer, the wife's folks have a place on the lake. The problem with racing in the OK in the summer is the raw temperatures... high 30s most of the time, except when it creeps above the 40 mark. Hell, it rarely seems to drop below 25 even at NIGHT...

Agreed. It's not like Recaro had an exclusive contract with Toyota only - or, for that matter, with Supras. Can you take those seats and bolt them into a Supra? Probably not.
