    I love it!! Engine build is under way

    Looking at a mild stroker kit, 8.6 lift 264dur cams, (Thank you Suprarich) custom pistons and completely ballanced motor, along with a JT-62 Turbo from Jeff (thank you Jeff, it was great talking with you). Also a good intercooler which I found on this site as well. Thank you all for good...

    What turbo fits stock CT26 location?

    My Supra 7M-GTE is in the shop as I type this. I've taken the motor out of the Supra, and am having the motor work done to it. Basically making sure the motor can handle around 600HP, not that I'll use that, but build it high, run it lower, and you have reliability... usually. My question is...

    Turbo and Intercooler information

    Yesterday was spent pulling the 7M-GTE out of my 88 Supra, and today I pulled everything off to get the motor ready to send into the shop. Head work, forged pistons, peened rods, polished crank and all the normal stuff. I won't bore you with all those details:-) This progress pushes me to...

    Who lets their girl drive

    And I realize there are girls on this board too, so the question still applies, would you let your guy drive it? The idea for this thread started out because I have been letting my wife drive the Supra to work this week. We also have a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer (it's not a OZ rally, just the...

    Why do they think...

    This morning as I was driving to work on I-5 I did a 5th gear pass on a semi-truck that was in front of me after a faster car passed me and the truck on the left. As I was passing the truck in 5th, it sounded like my car made a strange noise. So after I pass the truck, I let off and get back in...

    Soooo Tired

    I commute 2 hours one way to work. I'm a private contractor, and I have been using AutoCAD for about 12 years now. Problem is, when I need a job, and there's something available, I take it. And this one, well, it's 2 hours from home. Lately a couple of people have been taking time off. That...

    Racing ITC soon.

    I just bought a 1986 BMW 325es for $300, with a good running motor and a bent front fender. I plan to race it in the ITC class with some other friends who have the same car. I'm pretty excited about it, I've only road raced my little CRX, my YZF6R, my CBR929RR and dragged my Supra. So this is an...

    Thank you SupraMania/Code 52

    I've posted a thread about my engine light code, the dreaded knock sensor. Because of the information I got on this thread, I was able to finally get that fixed, as far as I know. A very good mechanic (in my oppinion) and all around nice guy, has been helping me with getting my Supra in...

    Hey Yellow13...

    I put that picture you have as your sig, up as my wall paper on my computer. :aigo: Then I went to lunch. When I come back from lunch, there are 3 engineers staring at my computer arguing over it moving or not moving. I was laughing so hard my stomache still hurts. That thing attracts...

    Rant about DEQ...

    I've had my dealings with DEQ. I had a 1989 Honda CRX that I was trying to get tags on. As I tried different things to get it to pass, I found out just how dumb the idea of DEQ was. And from what I can tell, DEQ doesn't even test for the emissions that would actually hurt anything. DEQ can't...

    Remote Oil Filter/Cooler

    I did a search on the forums, and couldn't find much on remote oil filter setups, and oil coolers. Please forgive me if I overlooked a thread that might have had this information available. Since this system could be used in almost any turbo or N/A setup, I wanted to post it in the General...

    Taking my Supra to the drags tonight.

    1988 Toyota Supra Turbo. Almost bone stock, just dual electric fans, and a drop-in K&N air filter. I have 18" wheels, Toyo Proxi-4. 245/40/18. I'm not going to heat up the tires, just get some street numbers. I'll drive around the water-box. I'm not going hard on the clutch, it's stock, but it's...

    Electric WP and Fans Question

    Background on car: 1988 Supra Turbo. 165,000 miles. Targa. Only mods are new Radiator, K&N stock air filter replacement, and wheels. I just installed (2) 12" electric fans onto the radiator. I took the power from the battery, to the switch/therm, then to a relay where I split the power to go...

    Engine light, Code says Knock Sensor

    (Background Information) I have a 1988 Toyota Supra Turbo. It had no fan shroud when I got it, and a clogged radiator. So it had an overheating problem. The Waste Gate hose was also hooked to the steering pump when I bought it. Overboost and overheating problems were fixed, dual electric fans...
