    one piece driveshaft.

    I am not so sure i want to just replace the bearing, i would like to know that when i start to add more power to this car that my drivetrain will handle it. the suprasport one piece says it can handle 600hp. and the oe two piece has a tendency to separate the rear section internally. Being that...

    one piece driveshaft.

    Well i noticed a vibration when taking off in first gear, felt like the engine wanted to fall out. Racked the car in the air and started checking stuff out, found that the po did not tighten the lower nuts on the solid mounts, and found the carrier bearing/coupler was shot(on driveshaft)...

    Help bov question!!!

    Make sure your bov is sealed up good, no leaks. My bov is atmosphere as well and i am having ABSOLUTELY no stalling issues not a single one. does run rich thats all. As far as the stocker, either plug the old lines or put a new oem bypass valve back on. DO NOT use breathers on either end...

    car running rich

    Filling Coolant Everyday and then losing it the next.

    If you havent replaced that torn hose i would start there, i believe it is a water pump bypass hose. as for the broken plastic piece that is a heater control valve, bolts up on passenger side firewall. START there. those are coolant lines The noise you are hearing from the dash might be from...

    Current symptoms, im almost done with this supra...

    Usually coolant on an exhaust manifold or whatever will not smoke as bad as if it was burning from the inside of it. temps are much greater inside than out. After my hg replace i had some bluish smoke that cleared up along with one overheat which was due to air pocket in block and fans not...

    Charging system problems

    OK that helps. not entirely sure which one it is still, but check all 3. The ignition should have bat voltage koeo. The sense wire might be the one that allows the alt to send power back to battery. and the lamp is well for the lamp switch on the dash, looks like battery. Does that light come on...

    How to raise boost psi

    Did you take any special precautions when pressure testing the whole system like that? I have been told its not that accurate with the cams installed due to pressure leaking out of exhaust? later today ill hook the tester back up and see what i can get through the whole system.

    It is alot cheaper than the ones you seen anywhere else, bout 500 less. It looks like it is welded up nice but a pic is worth a thousand words.The only way to find out is to try it. Use pay pal that way when you get it and its not what you thought you can dispute it, that is if you do go and get...

    How to raise boost psi

    Just got my homemade, and i mean homemade, leak tester finished and tested out it works. When i was testing, found the first leak before 3000 pipe was installed. Is on the plastic outlet tube of intercooler, the one mounted by the bumper. There is a tint pin hole in the factory tab, where the...

    Charging system problems

    Not sure which wire it is but one of the three in the back of the alt should send juice to it, this in return allows alt to charge battery
