    soft line connections need thread sealant?

    I am reinstalling my turbo today. I have a softline kit arz/driftmotion. Do the fittings need any thread sealant or anything on them, or just screw them on? Not familiar with them no instructions in the kit or on the website.

    turbo oil pipe leak on new install

    Ok, just put a new ct 26 on my 90'. First time I've done a turbo removal/install. (yes I did all of the priming) After idling for 5min checking for leaks I found it leaking oil out of the oil pipe where it comes off the turbo. It had a new gasket on it. It was torqued per tsrm. Should I still...

    shifter bushing r154

    Are the shifter bushings different between the r154 and w58. I replaced my crusty bushing in my 88 n/a with the green one and it made it shift really nice. On my 90 gte the r154 just had the thin black flat one in there. I stuck a green one in it and it was way too tight and didnt feel right.

    Autocross?

    I autocrossed in my stock 83 MKII back in the mid 90's. Loads of fun, and the only course I ran on definintely caterd to fast drivers not fast cars. There was one straight on the course to get in 3rd gear for a second or two other than that 2nd gear all the way. I beat two other MIII (1turbo...

    fixing a gte with turbo bypassed

    Thought I would put up the pics of the turbos I have. The one with no blades is the one I pulled from the car. I am just curious what they did as Ive never had a turbo before or seen one apart. Anyone seen anything like this? The car ran decent, although I only ran it enough to pull it on the...

    Agreed, I recently bought a turbo targa to replace my n/a. But neither are my Daily Driver and I wanted a project. If you will have to rely on it think twice.

    fixing a gte with turbo bypassed

    I'll get a pic of the turbo up. I asked him what happened when the turbo went. I described what might happen if bearings went bad and he seemed to think that might have been it. He gave me a box of parts from the guy he bought the car from and there is another complete turbo. It has alot of play...

    fixing a gte with turbo bypassed

    I recently bought a nice 90 turbo supra. The kid I bought it from didnt know much about it except the turbo went bad on him after a couple weeks and the turbo was bypassed. He wasnt a supra guy. I removed the turbo and the only thing I found that was done was the oil pipe was removed and a...

    MKIII towing

    Whats the smallest vehicle youve used to tow a supra. Last time I was able to borrow a truck. This time I may have to use my cherokee, which has the power but suprisingly weighs almost 500lbs less than a mkIII. might need to tow one 140mi. no problem?

    Speedo, gearing question

    Being almost 10mph off I could tell I was reading too fast based on traffic around me. That led me to use a gps. I dont know how accurate gps are but using the same gps in my jeep my speedo pretty much matches the gps. So I know my supra is off. And after checking it with the gps today. The new...

    Speedo, gearing question

    OK, so the instrument cluster CAN make a difference? I just put in a 5sp cluster two days ago and have not checked the speedo yet for accuracy. Didn't think the acutal speedo in the cluster would be different, I just swaped the cluster out so I wouldnt have to look at the ect stuff and the o/d...
