    how hard is it to convert a m/t 87-92 supra to a turbo

    How involved the process is depends on which method you choose to go with, your own abilities and how deep your pockets are. The stickies at the top of this section (7M-GE Tech) cover the majority of it.

    need help just got an 87 turbo dont know if turbo is bad

    Check for codes first and foremost... it's easy and doesn't involve turning one screw or pulling one coupler. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/TechTips/engine_error_codes.aspx Yeah, the turbo may be leaking oil, but there are a dozen other things that I can think of that would effect your idle...

    NEW INFO! Problem with fuel injectors! Please HELP!!

    The 12v mod is only needed for the FEW members on this site who are putting down massive power and the 10th of a second it takes for the relay to throw become downright hazardous. Recheck your wiring there. So there's fuel in the fuel rail? What's the pressure? Fuel in the rail only means the...

    NEW INFO! Problem with fuel injectors! Please HELP!!

    Per the TSRM the stock injectors should average about 280cc/min. No less than 276cc and no more than 340cc. If it makes you all feel better, the most commonly posted number I've seen is about ~290, not too optimistic but still plenty of room for all of you who just NEED for them to be bigger.

    Clear front side markers

    ??? Err, guyana, I believe they meant moving the FRONT markers to the trim behind the front wheel well instead of in front of it... And, yes, it's been done. IIRC, the blue JDM MKIII which shows up so often in lambo door and vented hood discussions has that done.... I think that was the one.

    Lets Talk about Grounds

    Yup. Excellent! We'll have a party, I'll let you work on my car and I'll make hamburgers while you get dirty... it is after all the small things... think about it, burgers you won't even have to cook. ;)

    NEW INFO! Problem with fuel injectors! Please HELP!!

    The injectors share a common power source. Make sure you're getting voltage to them first. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TEWD/MK3/manual.aspx?S=Main&P=54

    Lets Talk about Grounds

    Some people like to REALLY go overboard. I haven't quite gone to these lengths but this is a commonly recommended scheme: Connect a ground block directly to the (-) battery terminal with as short of wire as possible. Use 2AWG or better. From the ground block run 4AWG wire to: Block, Head...

    my 91 has been in shop for 2 months.. overdue.

    I haven't been screwed around by a shop yet... I can honestly count the number of times I've had a vehicle or part of one in a shop on one hand and still have fingers to spare. ;) I do understand the frustration though. I've had plenty of friends go through it. This reminds me that I should...

    Creaking clutch pedal. Spray lube doesn't help. What now??

    I don't remember how the whole assembly is put together, but if it's friction I think the best you're going to do is to find the trouble spot, sand and buff it smooth as possible and then lube the hell out of it with a good moly or teflon lubricant.

    What distributor do I use?! What do I have? Pix within...

    Interesting you should ask. I recently posted some pics and the wiring color pairs for another member. Do an advanced search, specify my name, this group, and "distributor colors". That should find it... it was pretty recent. When you find it post the link or the info back up in this thread for...

    stolen supra bad day....

    TooGoode, my last response wasn't directed at you at all. That had more to do with the post which seemed to infer that jumping out of your car when pulled over is a good idea... :3d_frown: The best thing I could recommend for you to do is to at least try to get in and consult with an...

    What distributor do I use?! What do I have? Pix within...

    Well, I know the distributor plug varies from pre89 models and models built from '89 and on. (I'm unaware of any other differences though, the extended shaft is new to me.) The bottom one is a CPS for a 7M-GTE. The turbo model MKIII's do not use a distributor. While the 7M-GE's distributor also...

    ACIS and a vaccumm leak?

    The TPS and/or AFM can present skewed signals due to excessive wear. They can also wear out to the point that as the sensor is moved the voltage output is not a smooth, steady change but one with pits and spikes. The hairdryer thing was something I had to do to finially find the cause of a...

    DIY power steering cooler using 3/8" copper pipe?

    Don't worry.... unlike most I'll look it up. Just surprised that the color of enamel coating a pipe in a dark space would positively effect radiant energy's ability to pass through... but I'll look it up.

    DIY power steering cooler using 3/8" copper pipe?

    To prevent oxidization? So paint poses no resistance to radiant energy, fine, but what you got against patina? ;) Thanks for the measurement.

    DIY power steering cooler using 3/8" copper pipe?

    Thanks, I'm hoping to just find a cooler with hose barbs... just trying to find something they carry on Amazon so I can finally use up a gift certificate I've had on there for some time.

    DIY power steering cooler using 3/8" copper pipe?

    Nope... at least not that I recall... it's just apparently been that long. No idea on the diameter of the stock cooler?
