University of Alabama engineering student = broke Taking that 87 Supra to the track without going trhough it first = broke U of A engineering student + un-inspected supra at the strip = broke^2 ;)

The above link is a GREAT one to start with. Undoubtedly you'll still have questions. Post them and someone will try to help. A 'Build Thread' isn't a bad idea either. You get to track your progress and use it as a reference in the future. A LOT of people benefit from build threads and...

Go wiggle your CPS wires and then put me on your Christmas List!! :D

As stated, gap to .031. As far as preventing oil from getting into the galley and shorting out your plugs, I've heard of folks removing those big ol huge-ola bolts and reinstalling them with oil drain plug washers that you can find at any NAPA store. My preference is to leave the 3rd cover...

Fluidyne, Koyo, and SWR are the popular ones. And yes, the stock fan setup is adequate. The electric fan kit has it's benefits; but, is pricey and since you hinted that you're on a tight budget (just like the rest of us :D) I would pass on for now.

Yep, do all four at the same time and look at the H&R's. That's what I run and no complaints at all!

Yup. The stock plastic cap radiators are old and brittle. It is now time for you to upgrade to a radiator that has metal top and bottom caps. You won't want to put another plastic one in there. That's for sure! :D

Sorry to hear it man! I just totalled my this past June so I feel your pain. Same scenario. Rain + Boost + Plus Parked Cargo Truck = One Less Supra. I did buy a 91 off a guy in Woodinville a couple months ago though. I'm feeling better already. :D Glad to hear no one got hurt! BTW...

Look at other people's build threads and look through the forum's photos. You'll find something.

You may have to strip off the Viton (or other such material) and use copper spray; but, as 1J put it... Yes... Good luck, :)

You have much research and learning ahead of you to make that much power my young patawan! :)

I had a little free time in between replacing my heater core and picking my nose. :biglaugh: If ya like it, take it, if not, leave it. Keep the ponies up! :icon_bigg -CajunKenny

I drive my supra without a helmet! :D

tbcmorris: Sorry for being off the subject here; but, I'm VERY curious... How was your car stolen? Did they hot wire it, load it up on a dolly or something similar? The reason I ask is because hopped car thefts are increasing in my area and I'm wondering about the effectiveness of the...

Would the busted lip and black eye state otherwise...? :biglaugh: So far, it's gone pretty well. I haven't broken anything! :naughty:

He He... I did get two cuts and one busted knuckle. Does that count? :biglaugh: Actually, I went ahead and got the heater core out too. Man what a job!!!!

TBCMORRIS: Because people have used it to turn up the boost without the supporting fuel mods. And then.................KABOOM!!! Mainly, I'm wondering how well it plays with the MAFT Pro! :)

I found a little device up under my dash that I don't want. :rant: It's one that has been known to cause MUCH grief! It's an HKS Fuel Cut Defender!!! Can I just cut the stupid thing out of there or should I just leave it alone? The reason I ask is because I'll be installing my 550's...

Another quick note to support the others... Walk away from that bad turbo! You can have your CT upgraded by Performance Techniques in, CA for around $450.00. I just had mine upgraded to a 57 trim. That will be way cheaper than dealing with that other one. Here's a link to their website...

Here is the TSRM link: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/default.aspx You'll find it to be an invaluable resource. It certainly would've helped you with your overhaul! :) As stated above, follow the troubleshooting guidelines here and post your findings/results. We'll...
