Lmao,yes my first supra. Silly Japanese who does that? Thanks for that link tho, exactly what I was looking for. And my car is a manual.

Well I don't care if mine is out there. Its 402-885-0579. I said PM me cuz I didn't think you guys would want your numbers out there. I'm sure you'd get hammered with stupid questions constantly if it was.

So the dumb a** that owned my car before me ran the wiring harness through the intake Mani and it has been frustrating. There is a wire that runs all the way down to on top the tranny and splits off and clips to two little black boxes that I assume are speed sensors or something. Anyway I tried...

So here the deal...I spend way too much time running into problems on my rebuild, researching them and then trying out the solution out only to find out later there was an easier way...I dont get a whole lot of time in the shop so when i do i need it to count....so what I am looking for is for a...

I was in your exact same sitution. Always wanted a MKIII, but had two kids and a wife that doesn't even like fast cars. So after getting a 2008 tundra and a 2004 grand prix for the fam, it was time to get myself a car. This was before i knew much about the MKIII other than that i had seen one at...

So I want to drop back in and apologize for my last post. This forum is about useful information to help the majority of our fellow enthusiast out, not about the benefits or advantages a very select few may have for a certain situation/ task. I had a few to drink the night of the post and i am...

I'm not real good with the ECU tuning device issues I'm sure the other guys will jump back in here, but seeing that you have the FCON just makes me wonder if that doesn't have something to do with your problem. Have you tried letting the stock ECU learn the car and driving it (the thing will...

Well, 91Supra313, I really don't want to start a pissing match, that is for sure. Last thing i want do do is be new to the forum and come in calling people out and acting like a jackass. But if there is one topic I can be helpful in this is it! I acknowledge the fact that you may have a bad...

Okay I think I can set the record straight for you guys. I happen to work in international importation and exportation. My job is to bring in and send out of the US containers of irrigation equipment "mainly" but I know everything there is to know about export compliance and cuatoms...

Sorry hvyman I just went back and noticed your question. I did drain the oil looked like normal used oil i didn't have it chemical tested or anything and i did stick a magnet through it to see if there were any little metal shavings and didn't see any. I havent cut into the filter yet though.

^Thanks man i did start it a few times and barely gave it throttle to show it went with the RPMs but i guess there is only one way to find out...I'll be starting this weekend and ill let you guys know what everything looks like. Just an FYI i work in International Shipping and know how to get...

^Oh duh good call I forgot about comprssion yeah you should probably check that. I would want to know the numbers after my rebuild anyway.

Just a thought: maybe your expectations were too high. The rebuild you did wasn't going to durastically increase power by itself. What it will do is make it stronger more acceptable to power. Break that baby in and start jumping into air/fuel and turbo upgrades since you have the groundwork done!

I see what your saying i guess i was thinking "inside of the box". I guess there is more than one way "rod knock" occurs. I was thinking that since the cylinder walls and top of pistons look perfect then I might be lucky and it was just in top end. But your all saying bearings. So chances are...

I have learned what i needed to know and now made my decisions and purchased an afpr, wideband and soon a 60-1 trim CT 26 turbo from Albert. I will be tearing into the bottom end to check everything out. Thanks for the help guys. This thread can be closed i guess.

Correct me if I am wrong but if I already had rod knock replacing the rod main bearnigs isn't going to fix anything what it will do is prevent future problems and i agree its worth it to do it now while I'm tore into it. But taking the top-end off and replacing everything is one thing and...

Okay so got my 87 supra last Feb and after sorting out minor problems drove great for a couple months then finally started pouring coolant out of overflow and making waterfall sounds and started making a tapping noise that came from top end or at least thats what we concluded and that got louder...

Props man you should think about doing this for members...damn good job i know id be in the market :stickpoke

Thanks guys i have a thread started looking for a turbo. Last night i ordered all my parts but I still have a few things to get. Im excited to get this all together (hopefully before there is ice on the ground) and i will post pics when it's all done.Thats about all i needed...thanks again guys!

Thanks for the replies guys Sound Performance has alot of awesome stuff! I didn't even know about them. Their turbos might be a little out of my price range for now to do everything i want to do but good to know about them for the future. I forgot to add that i already make an MK4 fp but I do...
