Well, don't panic! If you have done everything in right way, do a compression test. May be white smoke is just water, that stayed in exhaust (condensate) and white smoke will go away soon. But do a compression test anyway!

to Milenko: I see, thanks.. I'm not going to pay $130 for a boost sensor from ZT..... So am I! :-)

2 Milenko: Ok, I'll try to check it out, but I'm not sure about minimal vacuum point, so may be it is not very easy. And of course, I'll post results!

Hi, people. I want to discuss some problems using stock boost sender. I connected stock boost sensor to my ZT-2, and hit gas pedal really hard, so on my mechanical gauge I saw 0,5bar of boost (aprox 7psi), but on my notebook I saw almost 13 psi of boost. So, the question: how stock sensor...

Well, I've discovered the problem - wastegate is sticking! But I have SupraSport turbo, so I dont know as for CT-26...

Your coolant boiling in overflow bottle only or in whole system? If only in overflow - forget it. Air pressure in mountains is less, so water starts to boil with less temp. But if your system is still pressurized - coolant should not boil there.

2 macsupra76: "i had super low oil pressure from leaking exhaust manifold" What are you talking about? Had you cracked head? of just leaky manifold (manifold leaks with exhaust gases - right?)

I don't know. I'd describe problem as follow: 2nd gear, 2K RPM, Gas to floor - car accelerates, boost rises, then pause, then BIG kick in ass. I'm sorry, but I should watch for road - not gauge. I'll try to hook ZT-2 to watch AFR, when this shit happens...

Same problem. Stock fuel/AFM + Suprasport turbo. I have not electronic boost controller. I've got an idea: may be WG is jamming a bit and this causes little overboost. What do you think? If I am right, people with electronic boost controllers should not have such trouble.

Ok, I will inspect all more closely tomorrow and report here. 2 chriso: thank you for advice with silicone.

Oh shit! I'm stupid... I've checked timing marks, but I didn't check crankshaft timing gear! I've just bolted harmonic balancer back. But may be it is in wrong position... The question: in what way crankshaft timing gear is positioned relative to crankshaft? does it have pinholes and pins like...

Ok, and what is the trouble? Looks like I have no compression in some cylinders. PS: my head has been grinded, so I think valves could be bent. And I have some noise from rear of engine when i turn it (without spark plugs) by the hand. Sounds like you hit tensioned spring with something...

Hello. I've been enjoing my Supra after turbo swap, but no so long :-( Today I was going to set ignition timing, but i could not see any marks, so I decided to paint them in white... I put wrench on crank bolt, turned it a little, painted marks... And started the car. Yes, I forgot wrench on...

Ok, thank everyone for replies. SupraMania ruleZZZ =)

2 MDCmotorsports: one minute, please. Are you sure? If you are, looks like supra's brain is not very smart. I thought, that ECU reads coolant temp using sensor and set idle speed. Is not it? Or idle speed is set not electronicaly but machanicaly? I am disappointed...

2 ma71supraturbo: Ok, I see. But another Q: should I bypass or I just can block them off?

Hello! I'm gonna to block coolant lines, that go to ISC valve and from throttle body to avoid useless unreliable hoses. Have somebody done that? So, should I expect some troubles? May be in cold weather? (I'm in Russia, and sometimes it is very cold here ;-) What for Toyota engineers...

I'm pretty sure, that it is AFM problem. Car should start even without AFM, but it will die, when you press gas (just like you said). I dont think, it is turbo...

Hi, people. I need help. When I tried to tight exhaust manifold with new gasket (I was using 40 N-m, as TSRM says), some struts could not hold such force, and turned over... I asked friend to fabricate new struts (12mm) - they seem can hold 40Nm, but it is scary a bit... So there are 2...

Ok, I see. Thank you for explanation. So, NA setup is easier to use with aftermarket cooles/t-stat. I've got it. :-)
