    "Christine"

    What blew on the engine? Congrats on the purchase, always nice to see another Supra owner around here. :)

    door molding idea--what do you think?

    Sure, you can pick it up from just about any wreckers, or brand new from Jay Marks / Champion Toyota, one of the sponsors here in the vendor section.

    PS: As to the pages, that's a setting in your personal profile. This thread just hit two pages for me, I keep it on the max number of posts per page.

    Heh... you can hitch a ride. That's better than all men, people just think we are closet killers when we try to hitch a ride. ;) americanjebus: Funny how you seem to equate women working on your car with spiders crawling on it - something to be sprayed off without getting your hands dirty...

    me vs turbo mx-6

    Probes have a nice storage area in the hatch - big enough for a couple decent sized corpses, unlike our tiny little compartment in the Supra.

    Do they make an electric water pump for us?

    I'm pretty sure the electical motor isn't going to kick the bucket at 2001 hours, either. :) My primary reason for this would be preventing heat soak - which admittedly would be a tough thing to do, even if you get all that heat out of the engine, it's still in the bay...

    Getting my head shaved down, how much is too much?

    Did you do a compression test before you tore it apart? That would tell you whether the valves might benefit from the work. If you didn't, and you have the spare coin, go for it, it really can't hurt.

    cant rev past 2k rpm when driving

    When this happened to me, it was a dead AFM the first time, and a bloody big IC pipe leak the second time.

    Getting my head shaved down, how much is too much?

    Err... hopefully you mean 20-22 thou... your posted figures equal 20-22 INCHES, which is more than the entire head. :( 20-22 should work fine, get a 2mm head gasket if you are concerned.

    What kind of rings to buy?

    Machine shop originally ordered Moly rings from Hastings. Unfortunately, the set they had 'in stock' is evidently incomplete, and it will be another 4 weeks before they can manufacture a new set. :( Machine shop cannot source another set of Moly rings. So... the choice then becomes either...

    Do they make an electric water pump for us?

    Keep us posted on how well that works for you - and on what kind of ambient temps you are running it in. I know lots of people with electric fans that have no problems around here... where 25 degress C is considered hot. I also know lots of people with electric fans that have problems...

    Tanya, they are just kidding around. Because if they aren't, we'll be forced to beat 'em like a red headed stepchild. There are reasons why people get flamed here, but posting pictures of themselves or their cars, or both at once, is not on the list. We like to think that, if through some...

    Do they make an electric water pump for us?

    IJ, you certainly could, but that would invalidate the idea of being able to cool the car with the engine off, as your fan wouldn't run. I'm looking at the electric water pump + electric fans as a unit - no point running one without the other.

    How Big Can You Go???

    I've seen 19s, they can be made to fit. I wouldn't suggest it myself, you need tires that are so low profile it's impossible to get any traction, and on a car with the power potential of the Supra, it's a quick way to regret spending money on wheels.

    Do they make an electric water pump for us?

    Stock clutch fan is engaged via heat - if it's hot, it's on. Electric fans spin more at idle, sure... but they don't have the same blade cross section - they are thinner by a large amount. And consider this - your engine makes a LOT more heat at full boost than it does at idle. I'm basing...

    how much boost on stock head gasket?

    Now you're getting complicated. The stock ECU will cut at about 11-13psi, depending - every one appears to be somewhat different. There are various methods around this, the most common being the lexus AFM + 550cc injectors, and the most recent being the MAFT. Stock injectors are good to...
