Sweet got my walbro pump in today. Question, I had ordered another cheap Chinese pump and it didn't have oil on it. I get the walbro pump and it has an oil on the pump. Is that normal to oil the outside of the pump? Should i clean the oil off?

So this means its getting power all the time as its venting to the air?

I'm so eager to get this pump and get it in and get her running. I do need to clean up my brake system as i see tons of surface rust starting to build up and wheels dont turn by hand. From what i see under the supra looks good other then some kind of oil leaks. After she runs, going to do a...

I did bypass it and it was the vsv that was the issue. The vsv tested good off the car but when plugged in doesn't open. Once I get the pump and install everything I will see if it works right after that if not got some more diagnosing to do.

Ordered the walbro pump. Should be here by Monday hopefully. But I still need to figure out why the fpr vsv isn't letting vac through after I get everything back together. Could the pump being restricted cause the vsv system from not kicking on? Maybe a safety feature toyota added?

"shalom" then break a glass cup.

Might strap some fireworks to it as well and shot those off as I'm driving. Post a video of that. Yeah it took some time and a ton of tools purchase to diagnose it. Also did swap a bunch of bad parts in the process. And learned a ton in the process. And this will help others in the future as we...

Ok pulled out the pump this morning. It has a newish SEP pump. Is this a good company? They also had a foam insulator around the pump, what would be the benefit to that? Good news inside of the tank is clean as hell. Will be ordering my walbro this weekend. Will also be checking other things...

Ok pulled the gas tank out today. Haven't taken out the sender unit yet as it took me time to pull the tank and clean to top of the tank of the dirt to prevent it from falling in the tank when I open it. I did realize the pressure line from the fuel filter to the sender unit was pinched. That...

Ok I got back into town yesterday. New fuel pump did arrive to my place. I will start dropping the tank tomorrow and swap the pump. Will keep you guys updated. I'm guessing it still has the original pump but won't officially know until I pull it out.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm a bmw nut myself. I've owned a few myself over the years and loved the he'll out of them! My concern is the fact that owning bmw's I know how expensive repairs are and constant issues they face compared to Toyota's history of reliability. My older brother had a sc300...

I'm getting conformation on the s500, but what about the s320 caliber on stock rotor theroy? Is it true? I might buy just one side to test it out! Of course after i get the car running first!

I've watch that video a couple of times. I've read on another forum that he should have used the s500 or r350 rotors instead of the 350z rotors. Ive also read something about evo 8 calipers and sti rotors on the rear but requires modification to the rotors

I personally would post this thread on a bmw forum as most of the platform will be done by bmw as in engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, ect as they say. Toyota is only providing the body/frame of the vehicle again as they say. Also body looks a bit like a cross of GTR and LFA. Is it...

While being out of town I've been reading up on the big brake mod on our supras. Supposedly the Mercedes s500 caliper and rotor fits on these supras. I also read that the Mercedes s320 calibers fit on the stock rotors! I'm considering the s320 calibers but what year s320 do I need to get them...

What is the difference between your wife and your job? After five years your job still sucks. ___________________________________________ Do you know what 6.9 is? A good thing screwed up by a period.

No doubt my goal right now, getting it running right. Ordered the fuel pump already, just shipped out. Will be out of town for a few weeks so will install the pump when I get back into town. Hopefully it runs after that (fingers crossed). Then my next goal is to make sure there is a mhg with arp...

Would it be a good idea to consider adding a oil catch can to the pcv system to help reducing the oil flowing back into the intake system or is the oil beneficial to the intake system?

Hot diggity damn that is bad. My pcv is still intact so hopefully my engine isn't like that. Who knows what the previous owners have done. I need to check to see if the hg has been replaced with the arp stud and nuts!
