What size wire did you decide to run for your battery relocation?

Your mechanic more than likely used the original head bolt torque values listed in the repair manual, those are some where around 56ft/lbs. It's been discovered that those values need to be at least 72ft/lbs to prevent head gasket failure. On your next rebuild make sure you use the updated...

You got it. Along with air temp, and barometric pressure sensors. I haven’t heard of anyone mapping the scale, however your idea is a good one, you will have to keep us up to date on your findings.

Negative, the sensor doesn’t affect fuel cut; it only sends readings directly to the gauge.

That would be the sensor for your boost gauge.

Unfortunately that server is down. Someone didn't pay the bill. Does anybody know who was hosting that? We need to get it back up. That was defiantly the single greatest contribution to the supra community, ever , and it would be a great loss if it never came back up.

No argument there. I want to take the horn out of my '88 Buick Park Avenue and put it in my Supra. It has a two tone harmonic horn that sounds a lot like a freight train. It’s not as loud as the one in the video, but it still registers in at 128db. Plenty loud to clear traffic.

Na, you need this horn!! http://videos.streetfire.net/search/horn/0/429BCA3C-1B23-48DA-BE09-39BAC8DAFC72.htm :D

I see two basic problems. 1. When the engine enters vacuum it is possible for it to suck the water/alcohol solution directly from the bleed tub. You also will need a perfectly sealed bottle that can handle the PSI levels you are going to run your turbo at. 2. I'm not sure the Windshield washer...

Yes, the harnesses are very different. N/A has a distributor, 1 knock sensor, ect. The turbo has the Coil pack, CPS, 2 knock sensors, ect. The heads are the same except for the Intake cams and the valve covers. Here is a good site to find out exactly what parts are needed to do the swap...

Damn bigaaron, that Supra in front looks way longer then the Supra in the rear. lol:biglaugh:

The only people I've heard of destrokinig the 7M is HKS on there MKIII drag supra. They have had great success destroking the 7M to 2.89 liters, hitting 800+hp and revving it to 9,000 RPMs. This gave them an 8.09 second 1/4 mile pass on their tube chassis MKIII, with mufflers and on wet track...

This post by Supracentral does a pretty good of answering your question. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showpost.php?p=180719&postcount=18 Bits and peaces taken from the post: Using the formula above, we can see that the Flatlander kit hits the “Very Short Life” barrier at...

JZA70 MKIII That came out of a JDM MKIII supra with a 1JZ motor in it.

Turbodriz: You might want to do a little studying into water/methanol injection as it will greatly help in controlling detonation when your running pressures that high. Here are a couple of sites with some info, but I would recommend using Google and researching a little deeper...

Fair enough turbodriz, I can appreciate the fact you take this seriously. That said, I'll throw something in to this thread. If you want to run those boost levels safely, if safely is possible, have you considered water/methanol Injection. Chemical intercooling is a good way to keep the intake...

This is also what happens when you give a your girlfriend/wife a cell phone.

Lol.....I'd like to see that too.

The people are correct; no load equals little or no boost. This is because free revving the engine requires very little fuel to accelerate the motor. Little fuel equals little expansion of combustion gasses. And as we all know the expansion of combustion gasses is what causes the turbo to spool...
