    Boost! but no Boost!!!

    I remember the first time I had a IC coupler pop off under the car- I thought it was the end. Huge amounts of black smoke, didn't like idling, and the turbo would whistle like it was a tea kettle on full tilt.

    Was anyone going to this?

    Well, I *might* roll by there, as I know the owners of Twisted Taco nearby.

    Its out and ready for a half a$$ rebuild. Very funny pics inside.

    SO? He didn't say that the 'house' doesn't have wheels on it... Could be a triple-wide. Besides- he only CLAIMS there's a 7 bedroom house behind the camera. Check this out: [/IMG] You see a motor, right? What you don't see is that while taking it, I was getting a hand-job from Jessica...

    God damned mother f*$CI*g inattentive drivers!

    That sucks man, but from the pics, it looks like both the door and trunk alignments are still perfect. Hope it's something that can be repaired.

    Perfect. An engine hoist made of three tree trunks, and in the background, a dog-igloo with a hole in it, and a set of tires stacked in the dirt, in front of the pickup on the parking slab. I assume the double-wide is behind the camera position?

    You wanna go Grandpa!?!?!?

    My second race ever was back in 1985, me in my '77 280z and this guy who must have been at least 60 in a massive 6 liter '60's Mercedes. He beat me. : (

    Burning Oil....

    Black smoke is fuel. Blue smoke is oil. Have you checked to see if you're leaking oil under the car?

    To 12v mod or not to 12v mod? Walbro pump please help.

    Could someone explain this check valve issue? Not sure which pumps have them, and what they do/ don't do.

    Fan Shroud Broken....Car won't Start

    If the engine won't physically crank over, then you prolly have a frozen waterpump, cause massive drag on the belt assembly. Happened to me and seemed like a weak battery.

    Egr...

    I don't see the point in removing it, since it doesn't interfere with WOT situations, and keeps your engine cooler. ANYTHING that helps the engine run cooler is a good thing IMO.

    questions S/T swaybar set

    They are hollow like stock, just not AS hollow. Funny about the color though. I bought my ST's through Summit like 8 yrs ago, and they're the same meteor gray as my car. sweet.

    My Headache ...

    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but If you have no temp sensor connected, the ecu will always consider the engine to be cold, thus you might continue to run the cold start injector, and your engine will be in open loop- AKA- the ecu won't be reading the O2 sensor, thus always rich. Not...

    So what everyone doing with their tax refunds?

    Good I dea. In fact, if I have a few dollars left, I plan to build a 7AGE for my 86 MR2, so I can get it on the road as my DD and do the same as you.

    So what everyone doing with their tax refunds?

    I was just wondering if anyone had plans to use part of their refunds on their Supe's. I've been wanting to do this for like 5 years now, so I'm going to make sure I don't waste my refund this time...My poor car has been sitting on the same set of 16x8 Mille Miglia crap rims for over a DECADE...

    where to get engine internals?

    www.driftmotion.com is a good place for lots of stuff, Champion Toyota is a good place for good prices on dealer-only parts. And there are a number of venders right on Supramania that have great aftermarket items available. You're prolly looking at about $1,000 for a reliable rebuild w/ stock...

    Whats the fastest?

    My NA was up to 122 indicated and still accelerating, but I wimped out. And as far as HP requirements- not sure IJ, but I know that parasitic drag quadruples with a doubling of velocity- at least in aircraft, so I'm sure it's true w/ any vehichle hitting the wind. That's why you can do 120mph...
