This time for a good purpose though. Thanks to rick (kotu something) for supplying the block and ideas. I plan on putting the turbo on the setup but need a headbolt to hold the head onto the block as it is too heavy with the turbo and tips. Gotta pickup a piece of glass and enjoy...

Some people are arguing that if cold air instead of exhaust was used to spin a turbocharger it would be beneficial as the cold air is more dense. Others argue that the energy of hot air is better for spinning a compressor wheel, and give examples such as turbos mounted on top of engines...

Recently someone told me that the best investment I can make is to purchase 1000 US dollars worth of Iraqi dinars, and wait for them to be revalued, at which point they will be worth almost as much as the USD, multiplying my initial 1000 by 1000 when I sold my newly revalued dinars. I have...

I have been trying to tune my car well with my maft pro and have run into an issue. When I first floor it, the tranny downshifts and the turbo spools to 1 bar. For about 3 seconds it runs at about (13-14ish I know this is very lean for boost) then it goes to the 11 ratio I am looking for. I...

I set my timing to 12degrees my mods: 550cc injectors, all supporting mods maft pro 60-1 trim ct26 7mge cams So I time it (TDC set properly, CPS installed properly) to 12 degrees and have no power, check my exhaust manifold and it is red, so I think timing is retarded. Set my...

If anyone has a spare working CPS I need one tonight, please PM me if you have one, and we can work it out through that. Thanks to any replies, if anyone knows others with parts please let me know

I have narrowed down my no start a little bit, right now the only code I have is code 51. (New TPS on the way) My CPS is hardwired (no frail connector) I checked TDC with 3/8 extension, line cams up, install T-belt, install CPS according to TSRM I have fuel pressure, shown by my...

I'm 18 years old, still in high school, and when I first turned 18 I got a Bank of America secured credit card. (Give them 99 dollars, get a 500 dollar credit limit). I've been using it up to 400 dollars each month, and paying it off 100 percent each month. All this is in order to build credit...

My supra was hard to start one morning, but eventually started As I was driving I noticed that sudden movement of the throttle caused it to almost stall. When I got to the end of the street it stalled and would not start. It cranks, and does not even sound like it is trying to start. I...

I know it isn't a kickdown cable, but I forgot the name, so I'm calling it that anyways ;) I have my entire engine bay assembled, and cannot remember how the bracket that holds the transmission cable as it goes to the throttle was mounted. Does anyone have a picture or a diagram of this...

I was undoing a bolt and as the bolt backed out it moved the ratchet back and the selector lever caught onto a support bar (I hate FWD ford windstars). Here is what happened: I showed an older snapon ratchet to show what I wish the lever looked like, but the new one is the best as the...

I am putting on an AFPR and have all the lines setup, I need 2 adapters to replace the dampener and the stock regulator, but cannot find out what the sizes are for those two inputs. Does anyone know what size thread they are? I can bring the rail to a hardware store and find the right size...

Figured I would start a thread in here because I have pictures of my BHG change and figured I'd post them. I'll start with my Supra history though. My very first car was a 1988 N/A 5 Speed. Drove it for about 2000 miles and it rod knocked. Pulled the engine as a learning...

My Dad's 2005 Toyota Tundra is at 140000 miles and needs an oil change. He last went to a speedy change shop and on cold mornings (below 0 F) he says he can hear knocking I plan to change the oil to synthetic (german castrol 0 30) and am wondering how much to put in. In the 7m I know...

I have a BHG... I figure while doing the change I should do some work that I wouldn't otherwise do. First thing is the head on the engine. It has ticking noises, and i'm sure is in a very poor condition. I would like to have it rebuilt by a machine shop. Any estimates on what a machine...

My automatic radiator has a giant crack in the top (happened at about 80mph on the highway, had to use windshield wipers after it cracked there was so much steam and coolant). I have a 5 speed radiator sitting in my basement, can I put a hose on the cooling lines for the tranny, bypassing a...

anyone know exactly what type of CT26 this is just from this picture trim size, identification of compressor wheel from the fins? Thanks, couldn't find a thread that hinted at things to look for from a simple picture

In one of my classes the teacher brought up the fact that Massachusetts drivers are crazy compared to the rest of the country. Other kids from out of state agreed. One person brought up the fact that in rotaries in the south people tend to alternate, yielding to let cars in. In...

I cannot find a garage that will do it for less than 40, don't know if theres anyone here that is near lakeville/taunton/new bedford/fall river that will do it for a six pack or a bottle of jack? Bonus if you have a bung, if not I need to get one, either way we can work it out if you have the...

I am doing my brakes (new calipers, rotors, hoses, pads, hardware) and have my supra up on jackstands on the back only (both back wheels up, fronts chocked) I turned one of my rear wheels and noticed that the other immediatley turned with it. If my understanding of a LSD is correct, it...
