So a friends 90 Supra had a run in with a curb and both left wheels hit. As it turns out all the front end components are still good other than the wheels. The rear end strut and strut mount where damaged and replaced, everthing looks fine but when he had it aligned the furthest the rear...
So have nearly $3k tied up in this engine and everything is new. When I was installing the oil filter adapter the large banjo bolt that holds the adapter in place cracked the block where it threads into the side. The red line indicates where the crack is on the threaded part. Now my question...
Anyone know where to find a larger wastegate flap to replace the stock one so that I can bore out the wastegate more. I already bored it out as far as it can go and ground off the leading entrance edge and I am still getting boost creep.
So I was looking into making my fog lights brighter and I came across the idea of removing the dark grey baffel that sits right in front of the bulb. Has anyone tried this? What kind of results should I expect?
So I am in the process of replacing the seals on my 92, almost zero rust on the car until I cam across this. The metal strip that goes across the front, right above the windshield was wet and all the screws completely rusted out. So after removing much tar/sealent I got the strip removed and...
So when I was removing my turo, the 4 nuts to the manifold that keep the turbo on where fingertight and I had a huge leak.
Questions,
Does a big leak there cause much power loss?
Can I use lockwashers with those nuts to help keep them on?
Who much needs to be taken off to allow use of an exhaust cut out to be used without boost creep? It seems like I have increased the diameter by 1/5-1/4 of an inch. Here is what I have done so far.

Hey I am wondering if anyone has found a more compact clutch that will work on the 7m. The reason I need one is I have an aftermarket radiator that is 52mm thick compared to the stock 25mm thick unit. The fan sits to close to the shroud and has ripped it up and damaged the fan blades and...
Some may have seen this on SF, but since it is always down I am posting here. Picked this fully loaded 92t up with bhg and I just got it running last Saturday, after less then 2 months of work and waiting. I did a little port work and valve lapping along with getting my turbo rebuilt and...
Today some guys at a muffler shop where making fun of me for trying to get some 3 inch exhaust flanges from them, since they said it would kill my cars power not enough backpressure. Anyway when I was leaving my clutch just totally grabbed early and nearly stalled the car and it just keeps...
So I was getting a high idle at about 1100 rpms and after I adjusted the valves it was getting anywhere between 1100 and 1800. After it warms up it is usally on the high side and when I am sitting there letting it idle, it just keeps backfiring but just little popping, nothing big. I checked...
