    Oil still leaking

    Definitely a possibility... another is that if you had already put the head down on a stock type graphite HG you may have ruined it when you removed the head the second time.

    better gas mileage?

    You can even increase your mileage by running a lighter weight oil... running the lowest octane you can without knocking... tires full of air... new bearings on EVERYTHING... lighter rims... lighter tires (see: narrow)... refuse passengers... and so on. If you're going to all these lengths...

    better gas mileage?

    True, although there is also an area where the numbers overlap. It's where the throttle is being held open enough that the ECU is adding more fuel than would be needed at a higher RPM and less throttle.

    "Is like wizard sleeve"? Throwing a hot dog down a hallway? Dear God, make it stop!

    gumed up cylinder head

    Oh man... that whole car vs wife saga.... I start talking about one and then wander into another topic and the wife freaks for no reason... example: Of course I still love you honey, yes, even after all these years... I wonder if there's something I can do to tighten up all that loose, sloppy...

    VTA-E2 Voltages/Resistance

    Hmmm, I dunno about it burning up. I do know a couple guys locally who have been running Walbro's for a couple years on the stock wiring though. If it is possible then I suspect it's more a matter of shortening the pump's lifespan a little... perhaps JetJock will pipe in and give us the absolute...

    i m soo annoyed!!, Moving to Plan B

    Have you tested the thermostat? A "newish" radiator can still have blockages. ;)

    VTA-E2 Voltages/Resistance

    What are you going on about? You just said that putting the resistor back in put pressures back where they should be.... answer seems obvious to me. Why would you replace the pump (again) or spend yet more money on a AFPR?

    gumed up cylinder head

    Indeed. It's times like this (those moments where you find yourself returned to lucidity) where I wish I still lived with my parents and had a little brother to blame the random crap posts on. On the upside, it's not something I do often at all. castrol supra - Tell your uncle "hi" for me and...

    gumed up cylinder head

    Not me... I'm just looking for attention in the worst possible way. My mommy didn't hug me enough.

    better gas mileage?

    Coasting while in gear can save you gas over coasting at an idle... provided you're going down hill or intent on slowing the car anyway. Another thing that will help some of you is to try and remember to drive with the transmission one gear higher than you usually do. Most Supras that I've...

    Brand new Supra owner...

    Post pics. ;) Often that's enough. Congrats on the purchase. One question, did the previous owner mention if the head gasket had been replaced?

    Super Monitor Hardwire Instructions :)

    Suprra_girl's right, the only difference between the GE and GTE version is the fuel calculations.... which are worthless the minute you start upgrading anyway.

    Brand new Supra owner...

    :ttiwwp: If the turbo and blow off valve are that loud I'd guess they've been upgraded?

    gumed up cylinder head

    I dunno... possibly just PMS (you know, the wife's getting it, so I'm not :( )... that or the fact that the guys at NAPA are already taking you for more of a ride than it seems you'll ever get out of the car. ;) Don't mind me... I just thoroughly disagree with your additives of choice and your...

    gumed up cylinder head

    If I had any idea what the hell the master mechanics you dropped the car off with were talking about I could probably give you some idea as to what's up. As it is i could only guess: Emulsified oil which is too dense to be cleaned out from regular cleaning. The results of seafoam "cleaning"...
