My trip to the dyno looked more like a trip to the doctor. Right after we left the dyno, my O2 sensor went, blowing my EFI fuse. The motor is stock minus Titan MHG, ARP studs and a downpipe. I am not doing any upgrades until I get it running right. I am going to put it on the dyno again...

Well, now that my motor is purring like a kitten, I have encountered another issue, and this one is pure crazyness. My linkage is not matching up with the gear selector. For example, I put the it in park, but the tranny is reverse. It is one notch off. When I took it apart it was correct, now...

Well, I spent the last 3 days putting my motor back together and putting it in, and alas it will not start, or even sputter for that matter. We got done about midnight last night, so we did not have much time to test things out. I did check for spark and am getting it. I am thinking it might be...

I am putting my motor together, and I bought a new set of ARP's again. This is the funny thing, and I am going to call the tech line tomorrow,is that the sheet with the studs say 80 with the moly, and on the box it says 86 for the 12mm studs? I was going to pull an all nighter and try to get...

There were delivered by Santa FedEx today... Sweet!!

Well, I am sarcastically excited to find out that I have to buy a new block and head. Whoever replaced the HG on it did it a least 2 other times in my cars 140K life. I just assumed the last rebuild before my first HG job was just a crappy job. My block and head are too trashed to rebuild into a...

Hello all, I am in the process of trying to rebuild (90 Turbo) what used to be a running car in my garage. As far as the turbo/manifold goes, I have 2 CT26's that both need rebuild. One is not so bad, but leaks oil, the other needs a hug. I am looking at manifolds and new turbos, but am not...

I have started a build thread, and have torn the top end down already. I am concerned about my head. I know I had the head resurfaced once, and I know that it was done once before. I am not sure about the total amount of material that has been removed already. I have inspected the head for...

The story begins in a grassy field where I first laid eyes on her. $1200 and a BHG later, she is in my garage getting a new HG. She ran all of 6 weeks till a nother BHG. The machine shop that did the head work bent me over, number six bypass. I don't know of a blender they make that mixes oil...

All, Coming up is my first MK3 swap, usually when I do my swaps, I pull the motor, and tranny together, put the new motor and tranny together as a whole into the car. is this the best way to do it with these cars? should I remove anything first to make it easier. I have looked up the whole...

Woke up this morn to change the plugs, and to check and retorque after my HG rebuild, LO and BEHOLD BHG!!!! I had a feeling something was up, but was in denial big time. I don't know the extent of the damage, but there was coolant in the oil, the heads up was when I pulled the crankcase...

Good day all, My 90T is running fine, although is it a little dirty when you start it after sitting for a couple of days. It does start right up, as always (knock on wood), but right when it starts when it has been sitting its very rough for about 20-30 seconds. any idea on this one...

I run a auto wholesale business and a Cable installation business here in Fort Myers Fl. I picked up another 98 mustang gt (my 2nd 98, and 6th mustang). I have been driving it around while my 90T has been sitting in the garage. I had been discussing with my wife possibly selling the sup. I had a...

Hello all! Of course after countless hours of remove/replace on my 90T, everything was working beautifully... for about a week, as always with these SOB's. Some background... New HG, new fan clutch, new water outlet/sensors, alternator, CPS, water pump, flush rad 2X, rebuilt turbo (stock)...

Evening all, I have read several sections of the TSRM, and usually swear by it, however, I have to replace my exhaust manifold and remembering the last go-round it puts the hair up on the back of my neck. The last time when I did my HG, we put the exhaust manifold on, then tried to put the...

Here it goes: I just did a HG on my 90 turbo with 140K on it. I have my cooling problems sorted out after rebuilding pretty much the entire cooling system. Of course when you fix one thing on a supra that was poorly maintained, another "challenge" rears its ugly head. I have an interesting...

Hello all, I hope this is the right forum. I have a question about my 90T automatic. First off, I did do a search to see if I could find an answer. I did find an answer, but they said it was related to timing, and I just timed it last night with a timing gun @10*. My car when accelerating...

Hello all, I've got a 90 Turbo. I just rebuilt the top end in the garage. I know I have to finish setting the timing, its a little off. I have another problem and I am almost positive what it is, but I need some reassurance before I start replacing stuff. My battery is not charging, and when...
