Go to work as normal. Come home and start up Supra. Starts for 2 seconds then dies. Start again, and have to hold my foot on the gas to keep running. WTF??? Everything was fine last night. So I let it die again. Open hood. Notice a strange gurgling noise from the radiator hose...

Spark plugs and o2 sensor are whitish looking. Am I lean???? Everything is stock, save for the K&N Filter. 87 Turbo-Swap 5-speed.

I have come to a decision to get an aftermarket oil pressure gauge. According to mine, I am maxing out at about 35 psi after converting from my kg/cm2 gauge. Anyone with an aftermarket oil pressure gauge show me your install please. I'd like to find one that I can fit in the current oil...

Went in yesterday to ask about a price on the center bearing. After he told me they had to order it and that the price was $200 :aigo: He says: "How fast are those things" Me: Stock, there pretty good, but if you do some slight modding they can be real quick" Guy: How much...

After hours of searching and reading at least one hundred threads and hundreds more posts, I have a couple of finalists. 1. HKS Sport Cat Back $335 from AAP 2. Custom 2.25 inch catback with a magnaflow muffler Prices are probably the same. I am not sure if I really like the...

Yay. My Swap passed CA emissions yesterday. I am so happy. Now its time for tires, shocks, new windshield, wheel bearings, brakes, and who knows what else. Any suggestion on shocks? Don't want TEMS, and Koni's are too expensive.

Supra is not registered so I haven't driven it much. But, I start it up and let it warm up every weekend. Starts right up, idles fine, runs fine, no codes. Timing perfect. After each warmup I get this puddle of water. There is no oil, its not coolant (doesn't have any color and doesn't...

We turned on to a two lane onramp that merges into one just before freeway entrance. I was already a little ahead of him when the lanes began to merge. At first he was on my butt, then I saw him switch lanes. He was at my back tire when I gunned it. I was doing 75 by the time I hit the...

Where does everyone's stock oil pressure gauge read? My rebuilt engine has 225 miles. Running 20/50 castrol. At idle it will read between the first "-" and "2". At highway speed it will read just above "2". If my calculations are correct "2" is about 32 psi. That seems low.

A while ago I posted questions on smoking exhaust. Symptons: Would not smoke upon immediate startup. After about 30 seconds it would smoke at all times and ecspecially when given gas, and when given gas it would leave a trace of black spray on the concrete directly behind exhaust tip...

Anyone care to guess? I am rooting for the Suns, hope the Pistons will beat Miami.

I have determined that my smoking problem is due to bad turbo seals. The O2 sensor was covered in raw unburnt oil. Anyhoo, where do I find a seal kit or a reman'd turbo? The turbo spools fine and there is very little shaft play, so installing new seals should do the trick. Any...

My turbo seals are blown. Where do you guys go to get your turbos rebuilt or get new ones??? I just want my CT-26 fixed or to find a rebuilt one.

I posted a smoking question not too long back - but new symptoms so new post. A week or so ago it would smoke only upon startup in the morning. It did this for three days. The fourth day it stopped. I still get white smoke upon first startup, but it seems to be more vapor than oil...

With about 150 miles into my 7MGTE Swap...Finally no codes. I can go up our grade on the freeway at 75 or 80 in 5th gear no problem. My old 7MGE you had to shift down into 4th and then it still semmed to be working. The new 7MGTE doesn't even feel/sound like its working hard...

Upon startup and for the first minute of driving I get a considerable amount of smoke from the exhaust pipe. After that it goes away. This is a 7MGTE swap. The bottom end is brand new. New everything. The head I bought used which apparantly had been rebuilt recently. The turbo is also...

87 Turbo Swap 5-speed. Had code 52 up until a week ago. Got that fixed. Now this weekend took it out for its first real drive. While driving at about 35 and 55 the tach went from 4,000 to zero then immediatly back up and check engine light came on for a few seconds then went away...

Did you replace the 7MGE vaccum diagram and smog sticker under the hood with the 7MGTE equivelant. Went to the toyota dealer to get one for my 87 7MGTE swap to put it under the hood for smog and they said it was discontinued in 03. Where can I find one?????????

I am curious. This was on my old 7MGE engine (197,000 miles and not very will maintained), but want to know what would cause these results, since some of the same smog components (charcoal canister, cat) are still on my Supra. 15mph test HC(PPM) Allowed: 124 HC(PPM) Tested: 234 :eek...
