understood, also i read a similar post you made on this very topic, so i get it...itll be tough as hell to achieve, but i believe with some engineering, a simple 1/4 turn method can be implemented somehow...as long as the "pins" are engaged, all stress is loaded on them, and the fastener is just...

so, can we make another thread, "targa top-why i DONT like it" i fucking hate bolts!!!! im contemplating a quick release setup, like some type of clip/rod. itll take a group effort, i know for sure. i can mod-if-icate just about anything but i want it clean and simple...so any ideas guys? i...

the check engine light will pop up for a split second when rpm's get below 3-400, then the idle control opens and blips it back up...check engine light doesnt mean its a code at that rpm, the ecm just thinks the engine is off (with key on-engine off, cel is always on, correct?) im about to...

ok, i wont try and tell you how to build your motor...personally id send it back and wait for some measurements, plug everything into a CR calculator and see where you stand...THEN determine what thickness gasket will gain you a slight increase in compression...but if you want higher cr id...

so, basically its slow vs slow why make a thread when you can find out for yourself in a 5 min qtr mile?

indeed, i wouldnt have gotten another supra if it werent for them having a targa. i mean yea, turbo i-6 is badass...but imo, the targa top is what makes a supra a supra, mk3 or 4 for that matter.

oooooooo, you may want to reconsider the headgasket thickness...thats going to jack your compression up (even if no surfacing is req) so when you get both machined youll need an even thicker gasket than stock (1.37 is stock) so, say they take .20 off of the block, .10 on the head then youll need...

ha! my previous owner did the same thing and i blew the 1.2 that was in it...installed a composite to try and limp it through the season but leaked 2 weeks later. well if i figure it out ill try and remember to post for future reference

any progress so far? i installed my used injectors and overall theyre better and my idle quality is much much better but the "nitrous" jump is still there. my problem has gone away from every gear but 4th and 5th gear but its mostly noticeable when i engine brake down a hill and slightly get...

hows your diagnosis going? i got my used injectors in today...im going to throw those in later, maybe tomorrow. i put the lucas stuff through it and it got noticeably better but once i got through that and half of another tank, its baaaack...not quite as bad, but its intermittant, sometimes...

i wouldnt buy another supra without a targa, besides the turbo/5spd the removable top is by FAR my favorite feature.

and this is what forza is for...7m, 1j, 2j, 1u swaps are just a button press away...drifting anyone??? infact, i think im gonna go build one right now maybe even awd for laughs. i couldve sworn these cars went for over 1 mill...maybe the one i read about had more pedigree/all original or...

if the motor is "fresh", why not pull it out and verify the bottom end? a bhg would be the least of my worries (especially after 6k miles), but mostly because the previous owner already lied once...i mean how many miles do you think are on it??? only way to estimate is to pull the bottom end...

that makes sense, so is it a sensor or harness at this point? and as for your "nitrous jump"? my problem seemed to go away with the last 100 miles. today to-from work, 0 issues to note as for power. still has the hiccup every few seconds at idle but that could be a few other issues since its...

wow, i have the same exact problem! i have noted it down to these things as possibles (efi troubleshooting in the manual) process of checks valve clearance cold start injector (unplugged mine since im in tx...havnt blocked off the line though) fuel pump voltage/pressure reg/injectors-...

my bud's got an 05 sti and he said stock is 550

my stock ct just took a shit...still spins decent and boosts fine but its got noticeable shaft play and it burns oil on occasion. ill be buying this turbo in the next 2 weeks. i can probably fabricate the oil lines myself but it would be good for the thread if the folks that have done their...

ideal(ly) we prefer you to post a more specific topic, like, "89 wont idle (ideal) worse with ac on" if you have 2 supras im sort of amazed how you dont know how common the heater valve problem is...its a vacuum style valve on the mid/passenger side of the firewall with coolant lines running...

i didnt have luck setting washers/nuts over my arp studs without lifting the cyl head up to the tip of the stud (when assembling my motor) so unless you want to replace the headgasket to a mhg...and if youre keeping it near stock levels, id just buy new factory bolts, lube them up and replace 1...

i believe the sip is just a cometic gasket, same with titans gaskets. i ended up with a hks3.0, THICK ass gasket...you just dont appreciate it untill you hold it (thats what she said)
