    help! very odd problem

    This is a dumb, but pertinent question- IS THE FAN TURNING THE RIGHT DIRECTION? If you wired it backwards, everytime you get to op temps, it'll turn on the fan, and that will pull air from the hot engine-side back through the rad, or if you're driving, it'll block air from coming in, like an...

    I/C blockoff question/what are the benefits?

    Yeah, well.....the air going through the upper grill will tend to go to the path of least resistance, so it'll go up towards...OK- so there's a seal around the front of the hood, so it's not going to go there, but when it GETS to the seal, it really doesn't feel like turning around, so it goes...

    my poor supra wont roll!

    Your rotors have probably rusted to the point that they interfere with the pads. kinda like, they pads didn't move towards the rotor, but the rotors "grew" towards the pads. Make sense? Sounds dumb, but spray some wd40 onto the rotors, and next to the brake pads. You'll want to 'degrease' it off...

    Solution to Dying Turbo

    I've put about 20,000 miles on my stock CT. Dunno the miles prior to this, as I bought the whole motor used. No oil, no shaft play. On 12psi, but I only hit that about once every two days(I'm a pussy).

    Turbo and N/A cylinder head inquire

    I concur. There was some discussion a few years ago about the castings being slightly different from year to year, but no differences between turbo and NA.

    A/C causes overheat

    How old is the radiator? This exact problem used to happen to me, with a 5yr old radiator, and that's really not that old. I would drive along, no problems for as long as I wanted. But as soon as I turned on the AC, I would begin to get a temp rise within 5 minutes. If I didn't do anything...

    Starter issues...I'm stumped.

    It's the starter contacts. There's a couple of threads on here that give you the part numbers you need to replace these, or just get a reman from one of the parts stores.
