Hi, I'm not very interested in working on my own car anyore. I would rather leave it to the professionals that want to work on cars. However I don't want to take it to some random place that isn't familiar with Supras. I'd prefer to find the best local place with Supra familiar guys. I want...

This might sound like the most retarded question ever but... someone has to ask it right...? lol I tried searching but was getting no where so here goes. I already know that the reason a y pipe style intake is used on a n/a is to disperse air more efficiently to all the cylinders and a...

I finally got my 88 running. Idle after a cold start is fine but after a minute the idle starts to dance between 1400 and 1800. Repeatedly without missing a beat, back and forth.. Is this bad for the turbo cool down process of letting it idle before shutting off the car? Thanks in advance, Chris

I have found 3 different throttle body gaskets for the 7m. One that is available at parts stores for the turbo engine has a little opening. I'm going off memory but i'd say the opening is about 1.5" in diameter. When put against the throttle body (off the car) and moving the butterfly the...

I have found a little bit of information regarding this but still have a question. I am putting in a 5-spd setup engine into my automatic. It took me a few days to figure out that i am missing something on my throttle body for the automatic transmission throttle cable. I found the correct...

I have found a little bit of information regarding this but still have a question. I am putting in an engine from a 5-spd iinto my automatic. When it was time to hook this up I saw this. I am missing something on my throttle body for the automatic transmission throttle cable. I had an extra...

http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=EM&P=32 Is there a special gasket that goes between the cylinder head, the no. 3 cylinder head cover, or the big bolts that secure the no. 3 cylinder head cover? Mine has nothing but 3 bare metal surfaces. Is this an oil...

Hi, been trying to search this but all I find are for sale or build threads... My question is, why do people drive without the upper timing cover? Am I the only paranoid person that fears rocks getting down into the belt area? The engine I'm about to drop in my car doesn't have the back plate...

Hey guys, I'm in the middle of swapping engines on my 88 7mgte and couldn't get the crank bolt busted with the engine out of the car. I'm already feeling like time is wasting, because I prefer to replace as many seals and gaskets that I can with the engine out. The engine is said to be freshly...

Hi, I've been looking for a couple days now and the only exhaust gaskets i've been able to find are the circular thick ring looking gasket and the main exhaust manifold to block gasket. I have been unable to locate the manifold to turbo gasket, the turbo to elbow gasket or an 02 sensor gasket...

First off.. Sorry i don't have time to search. Second my phone makes searching even harder... So... Thanks in advance! I forgot to remove my auto trans cooler lines before pulling my engine/trans. A trip to 2 pick-a-parts yielded no results but wasted time, effort, and dollars... I know I...

Hi, I tried searching but didn't really find what I was looking for. I myself have rebuilt the top end of a non-turbo 7m after a bhg to find that a week later the bottom end took a dive. My friend has a turbo engine with a bhg and he wants to rebuild only the top end. I explained it to him...

Thanks in advance.

I've been looking through the forums here for several months now and recently my friend bought an 88 Turbo! It's neato! I like it! Seriously, I want one, but it's an automatic so I need to start searching on how to tune up the A340E. As far as the boost guage is concerned though it only gets up...

Did a search but couldn't find the answer very fast so, Got the wrong plugs from Autozone. They gave me, or were supposed to but didn't, what was listed in the computer. The part number is ngk b8es. There's no way they can be screwed into the holes. The part the socket fits onto...

There's an ad for a turbo MKIII with 220k miles and a leaking transmission seal. What precautions should I know about. I'm new to turbos and would like to know stuff to check out for a 220k car. If this has been covered let me know, I'll search. Mainly I wanted to know about a leaky...

I got a head back that just had a valve job and it's not installed yet. If I swap pucks around, will the lash for the corresponding valves be proportionally changed? (The difference between the size of the two pucks added or subtracted from the lash that was already there? In your experience...

Hello, My name is Chris and I'm new to this forum but I'm not new to Supras. I'm a regular at www.celicasupra.com. I've had an 87 n/a for about 6 months now. I bought it with a BHG but I haven't fixed it yet. So far I've borrowed the exhaust and put it on my 85. It didn't fit perfect but...
