    need help just did compression check

    Turbo and N/A radiators are the same, so you'll be fine as long as it's not clogged.

    solid rear axle

    You'd be wrong ;) Proof if you don't believe me: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41973 Top time is not running a solid rear. Supra's don't have some of the horrible quirks that other IRS setups have (like horrible camber when squatting, or toe, ect..) and unless you're...

    need help just did compression check

    He said between 135-140 so I assumed 137 and that would be in spec...not ideal, but in spec. Could do a leakdown test and listen for bubbles at the radiator cap, but I doubt the HG is blown...

    Hi-flow cats: Which one is best?

    I haven't seen anyone do a back to back dyno on a supra, but I've seen em on hondas, domestics, ect... 2HP...that's it. That's within the range of other variables as well, so don't sweat it and stick with the cat.

    front lip

    aerodynamics and looks... Also, if your lip is warped is more than likely because the bar it mount to is warped to hell. Gotta remove it and straighten it (not easy to get it perfectly straight). Then the lip needs to be unwarped (careful use of a heatgun works).

    After 3 months in the bodyshop, car is back!

    The seals are made to the right length, don't stretch em. Gotta work from the ends to the center. They are NOT to be glued in place! Previous owner made the same mistake on my car, they fight into the channels and have adhesive strips in some small places. It's all covered in the TSRM if...

    Exhaust size?

    You're also forgetting the that the dyno was against a normal BIC DP, which is a hell of a lot better than the stock setup. A DDP wakes a car up a LOT, the Type-A racecars used a DDP setup...

    Did the Head Bolt fault affect N/As?

    Loss of pressure and allowing air into the system allows steam to form. Steam doesn't move through the engine, and it doesn't cool worth a crap. Warped head is next. No, the 5M's don't have HG problems...

    need help just did compression check

    Fan doesn't function correctly without a fan shroud. It pulls the air from around the fan and not through the radiator. Get a NEW radiator, don't rig one up as it won't work with the fan shroud, not to mention it might not have the compacity you need.

    New clutch time

    +1 I got the same clutch and it's been great. CK: think he was talking about the washers and clips that hold everything together. If they fail you have to drop the tranny :(

    Not trying to sink your ship but just going to let you know: -window trim is rubber, painting it is a bad idea -if you had to trim the targa seals, they wheren't put on right -water on your lap is because you have to pull the drip rail off and re-seal it to the targa(requires removal of...

    Help with whistleing intake

    boost leak Also, check the fasteners from the manifold to turbo, turbo to elbow, and elbow to downpipe. Sounds like it could be a pre-turbo leak, so look especially between the manifold and turbo.

    Compression is a bit low...but fine going by how close they are together. Functioning fan clutch? Fan shroud? Probably original radiator, replace it. Also, the smoke is probably valve stem seals...

    Removal Question

    but that would damage it... lemme look in the EPC and see if they're replacable. EDIT: Appears they are. I think the part number is 90253-11021, but you'd have to order one to be certain (they're cheap)
