Fair enuf- just thought this question had been answered in a couple of threads already.

The block looks pretty good from what i can tell.

And you had to dig up a 2 year old thread to ask this?

Mine's every 10,000

My lower IC pipe came off once, and I was blowing all sorts of black smoke, and the turbo would wail like a dying hyena. Really sounds like a big boost leak.

What I've done to test the wastegate, is to plug one of those crappy little 12v tire inflators to the wastegate line, and the WG should instantly open. Also, once you have the WG open, clamp the line, to see if it holds the gate open, or leaks down.

IJ- How much weight was shaved from that 7m crank?

This is a good question, and I'd like to know about this too. My car was originally NA, and the supermonitor obviously doesn't show a valid mileage estimate, as I have a 7mgte in it with the 440 injectors, and it shows a mileage I would guess is about 30% too optomistic. Would like to hear...

Just buy a felpro hg for the 'mild' supra. Doesn't sound like you're trying to make a huge amount of power with it, so it should be fine. And you won't spend a bunch on the part either.

OR... You need to do a resistor swap on the back of the tach. There are three or four resistors that need to be changed, because they have different values on the ge vs. the gte. http://www.4cefed.com/tech/natachchanges.jpg

Why did you post this thread twice? And yes, oil will come out the driveshaft end unless you block it up. And if you don´t have a driveshaft, why do you want to put oil in the tranny?

136 and accelerating in my 77 280z. 122 and chickened out in my 88Supra when it was na. Haven´t attempted anything beyond 110 in my turbo. I guess I really am getting old.

I like the wrinkle finish alot. What product is it, exactly?

Dunno if this helps, but I have the original MAFT, and started getting a stumbling, loss of power when adding throttle- situation, and it turned out to be a loose connector from the HAC line to the MAFT.

Supras require that you not cut corners on maintainence. Aside from that, they are very stable, comfortable and stylish cars. And with very little effort, can be made to perform as well or better than most comparable vehicles made today. Plus, you get the right to say you drive a Supra. : )

Your recliner is ugly as sin, and your plant is dead. Other than that, good work on the mold. :biglaugh:

I have that problem as well. When I start from a stop, I hear a loud- almost a tap sound, like someone lightly smacked a hammer against a thick piece of metal. I haven't investigated it much yet, but i imagine it has something to do with the brake pads/ shims moving slightly.

I've seen new heater cores go for less than $20 on Ebay.

LOL- If that's the biggest problem you have with your Supra....you're doing GOOD.

Is the compressor activating?
