    Anyone have a deep sounding but quiet N/A?

    So long as my car is actually running the stock cat and not an aftermarket which just looks stock that is the case. My flange on both side of the outlet were disintegrating so they just cut the flanges off and welded the pipe right on to the cat.

    throttle position sensor

    Ahh, sorry, I missed that remark. A GTE TPS will not work in a N/A. Period. ;) (Of course, I did cover that they were different all the way back at the beginning of this.)

    Quiet Exhaust?

    MKIII's are NOT common cars and sound clips and streaming videos NEVER sound like the real thing... videos are usually the worst. I did a lot of research online and found some local owners who were running components I had found an interest in from sound clips online... So, who had all of the...

    Quiet Exhaust?

    Roundfinger - I know you just mentioned that there is a N/A version of the exhaust you liked... this isn't in reference to that, but it should be brought up before someone says that a turbo exhaust will sound the same on a N/A. One thing a lot of people fail to consider or don't know to begin...

    throttle position sensor

    That's it.. I quit. okay, well, not quite yet but... Did you compare your TPS to the one in the picture by looking at the bottom? If the tabs which are moves by the plate on the TB are rotated 90º from that pictured it may be a GTE TPS... regardless, it's not a GE TPS. Did you...

    What part of "it's a common problem" do you not understand? It's the 30A circuit breaker behind the driver's side kick panel.

    Here's the wiring diagram: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TEWD/MK3/manual.aspx?S=Main&P=094 It is worth tearing apart the switches and inspecting the contacts, but only if you're very observant when you take it apart (it's nice to be able to put things back together) and only if...

    No compression on cylinders 1&2

    Just how little compression are you seeing on those cylinders. Did you do a second compression test with oil added to the cylinder?

    Pinging on 91 octane? Is this on a N/A?

    Need help...

    Jdub's done an excellnt job at covering these topics. Oil already comes to you with additional lubricating agents, detergents and so on. The best way to run would be to run the oil and periodically have it tested to see if the pack additives are present in a sufficient quantity to do their jobs...

    STL Supra owners I need your help.

    The SuperMonitor gets power from a couple fuses. Check the Dome, Radio and Cig fuses. I posted scans of the wiring diagrams on here for another member a while back (actually I might have just emailed them to her) if I can find the info I'll post it.

    Spotted MKIII in news. Vid

    He's trying to get some money together to ditch the saw blades and get coil overs. Seriously though... I wonder if that's anyone on here. Loathe the thought.

    throttle position sensor

    No problem... I figured that the whole alignment issue gets posted often enough that it needed to be addressed in an easy to understand manner. In the future please try to refrain from replying with quotations of large posts unless there's a specific reason, it just wastes resources. ;) (tip...

    help please

    Hey, I have been brash and unpleasant the past couple days. I offer my apologies to you and anyone else I may have beaten on. Seriously though. There is nothing in the codes you've posted that are related to the VAF. The VAF is also a wear component it is quite possible that the one you swapped...

    help please

    No mental block, but seeing as he's managed to screw with everything else god only know what he may have done with the A/C other than simply leaving the wires hanging... Best place to start when having car problems: The last thing you f#$ked with. ;) EDIT: None of the codes listed have...

    help please

    Synopsis, I'm having problems and I don't know why... News for ya, every problem you're having you created. Stop screwing with things until you know the implications. Reconnect the temp sensor (I'm assuming you're referring to the ECU's temp sensor) or replace it if it's bad... it may be...

    Code 51 ....HELP ....

    D'oh, I forgot about the A/C thing... Also make sure you don't move the throttle when you check for codes or you'll see 51 then too.

    Code 51 ....HELP ....

    Well, I suppose you've either disconnected the TPS or A/C signal line OR you've created a break in one of those two at the ECU. Shouldn't be too hard to track down. EDIT: ^^ME^^ Asleep at the wheel... I'm out for the night. Thanks for clarifying JJ.

    throttle position sensor

    I don't know what you mean by "notch". Nothing I can think of that fits that description other then the reinforcement ribs on the side opposite of where the throttle plate's tabs sit. Gimme a few minutes and I'll post some pics. EDIT: 7M-GE TPS, the tabs sit horizontally. If you've...

    throttle position sensor

    huh? Should mount right on. It's a little hard to not mount right... You sure you've got the right one? The GE and GTE use different TPS.
