Had a thread about a week ago talking about my engine making a ticking noise under boost.( http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27038 ) Most all responses talked about having a detonation issue. Just got some 440cc injectors installed and the thing dumps black smoke under boost but...

Heres the deal, im running a GTE shortblock with all the GE electronics/intake/sensors etc. Long story but heres the problem. I notice that when it gets in boost it starts to make a ticking noise. Doesnt sound harsh enough to be knock and was wondering if anyone else has had this problem or...

Alright heres the deal... My auto tranny crapped out on me, just sat and slipped forever. I had a mk2 with a perfectly fine W58 in it so I took that out and dropped it in the mk3. I got all the extra parts needed and finally got it running the other day but the speedo doesnt work. It didnt work...

So I put my 6:1 FMU on the supra and when it boosts it runs...very rich. Im running the N/A yellow injectors(long story if you havent followed up on my build up) but even then im only running about 5psi of boost at the moment and when it does boost it dumps a hefty amount of black smoke. Figured...

I have a turbonetics Deltagate 2 and it sticks open after i get on it about one time. It is set at 7psi and like i said it will get there about one time and then I can only get about 1-2psi after that and can hear the exhaust constantly exiting the dump tube. It must become unstuck when it cools...

I just got my X02Racing manifold in the mail today and in the process of installing it I noticed that one of the tubes on the header hits the oil filter. The oil filter is threaded onto the block because i do not have the stock relocator. Some auto parts stores offer universal type relocators...

Anyone have one of these manifolds? If so will the position of the turbo on it hit the distributor? Thanks much! -Gary

When I start my car and its still cold the engine seems to have very low power. In park ill tap the throttle about 1/4 down and the RPMs will fall and then rise like normal, like it mis-fires. But when it warms up the problem will go away and it runs like a champ. It doesnt blow any smoke and as...

I got the waterfall behind the dash sound too. It sounds like those little in home waterfalls people put in their rooms to fall asleep haha. But the thing is, it doesnt overheat a bit, the coolant never rises or falls and is clean, doesnt blow a lick of smoke(assuming it cant be a...

Alright well I have a mk2 that I had fixed up a long time ago but it sits around now and I was thinking about taking the W58 out of it and putting it in my Mk3 since its automatic right now. My question is, are the connectors on the mk2 and mk3 w58's any different from eachother? Would I still...

Well I noticed my valve-train makes noise(always has), like I can hear the cams rotating around. But its very quiet(a slight "tick tick tick"), I can only hear it in the car when im stopped and the stereo/heater is off and everything or when the hood is popped. Just wondering if this is normal...

Ive replaced, the plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, fuel filter, adjusted and re-adjusted the TPS 10 times, messed with the timing God knows how many times to get it right and experiment with it. The thing ran great 2 weekends ago, smooth as ever, then I replaced the exhaust gaskets and...

Never really had my supra at high speeds since i got it but i recently took it ont he highway and when I put it in O/D the O/D light blinks constantly. The torque convertor feels like its having a really hard time locking and releasing because it will studder alot when I push the gas pedal down...

There is a threaded hole on the head just above the exhaust port of cylinder #4. I thought it was just a dead hole but the new motor had a plastic plug in the hole and uhhh....it kinda melted(shit I hope that wasnt a dumb move!) Anyone know what this goes to? Thanks much again! -Gary

Since I bought my car the fuel gauge has been stuck at the full mark as high as the needle goes. My fuel light still turns on when its low on gas but its getting annoying looking down and finding it on, and freaking out about how long its actually been on. And common fixes for this? thanks much...

Got the timing fixed for what I think... The car only runs as smooth as it will when the distributor is turned as far CCW as possible. At a stop it idles smooth, then when I go to push the gas pedal it will miss a bit until about 2k rpm then smooth out completely. Also the throttle feels a bit...

Got the timing fixed and she was purring nicely, so off I was to school. Got on the interstate, put the pedal down, hit about 4k RPM and BOOM! Thought i blew my motor, shit was flying everywhere behind my car so i pulled over and it was idling just fine(thank heavens!!!) looked down the road and...

During the assembly/installation of my engine i broke the connector for the VSV to my FPR(fuel pressure regulator) if i bypassed this VSV with a straight vacuum tube for the time being until the part arrives would this cause my engine to run poorly? or just dirty? Is it necessary or just an...

Well I was testing out the supra for the hour drive back to CO. And i was driving around town and it started blowing coolant everywhere because of a poorly tightened clamp. So my roomate desided it would be a good idea to releive the pressure by taking the radiatior cap off and it blew coolant...

There is a threaded hole in the block between the oil filter and the oil pressure sensor which i think is the oil feed hole for the turbo but im not sure cuz my GTE is NA at the moment. Ive been the to hardware store 5 times checking out different threaded plugs to plug it for now but i cant...
