I need help deciding whether or not to rebuild my supra or get a truck. Before you jump to rebuilding the supra I plan on completely restoring it with new everything, body work, paint, and an engine capable of about 650hp, but i would have to wait about five years to get the money up which...

Im about to do a new build and im really wanting to get rid of my maftpro unit, im not very happy with how it runs and tuning shops treat it like a hooker with aids. im not looking to get more than a max of maybe 400-450hp and my current intercooler setup won't let me have the stock afm...

First off sorry to the moderators if this is in the wrong spot, wasn't sure where to put it because the electrical section was shut down. Anyway i was taking the ignition cylinder off to try to get easier access to the wires and one of the wires grounded out on the steering wheel column. I...

I did a rebuild on my 7m about 11k ago, driving home i stopped at a stop sign and heard something grinding, pulled everything apart on the front and i found the timing belt was being chewed apart from rubbing against the covers. any ideas on why this happened? does the supra have some sort of...

im up in colorado so i have thin air, ive heard its difficult to get over 10 psi up here and its been making me question my aftermarket boost gauge. i have an autometer boost/vacuum gauge connected to the vacuum line coming out of the intake manifold that eventually goes to the stock boost gauge...

i had a shop install a hard pipe intercooler kit for me, just got the car back and on the way home noticed that after 2k it would start sputtering and or hesitating and pretty violently at varying rpm's. it seems to stop once i get past 4500. when i was talking to the guy doing the work he said...

my brake lights aren't coming on, the bulbs are new so they are not the cause of the problem, i am thinking its either electrical or the switch. does anyone know of a way to test the switch or if using a wire to connect the wires in the connection to the switch will be enough to make the light...

i have the 7mgte, has a bunch of new stuff on it and every once in a while it stalls out on me but only at idle. i tried putting some injector cleaner in it and it seemed like it helped but it is still going on. could this be from the injectors or something else, if it is from the injectors...

i have a 1990 supra 7mgte, i recently replaced both the rack and pinnion and the power steering pump, they were both napa brand. ok so now on to the issue, whenever the car is cold(not run for at least 8 hours usually overnight) the power steering pump wines like it doesn't have any fluid in it...

when i put the key to the on position the 30 amp am2 fuse blows, no other fuses will go out and the car will still crank, i have started looking over the wires to and from the cam position sensor, ignition coils, and the igniter. i havn't noticed anything from those wires and am starting to...

i just got a boost/vacuume gauge from autometer, im wondering 2 things about it, when its idling (mine is set at 1000 to help the turbo) what reading should i get from it? currently im getting a 0, and its reading a max of 7 psi and i had the guy i got the turbo from set the waste gate at 8 or...

im not very creative and was wondering with those of you who have intercooler kits that require the relocation of the oil cooler where have you moved it? and have you kept the stock oil cooler or were u forced to get another one or get new feed lines to it? pics would be great

i took my supra in to get tested, it passed most of everything but they are saying it failed the equipment inspection and the air injection system, what are these supposed to be and what could cause them to fail? btw, i had to have work done on the engine so its now a 3.0 instead of the 2.8 and...

my o2 sensor is reading 3.37 with a full open throttle, im getting the reading from my apexi turbo timer, i believe it is hooked up correctly because it gives an average reading at idle. is this a normal reading for the 7mgte? i also had the engine boared out to a 3.2 L, so is it a bad sensor...

I have removed most of the A/C components, i left the fans in with hopes of using them to help my engine run a little cooler, the fans will not activate and i was wondering if there is a way to wire them up so they will work. Another thing i noticed was the reading from my apexi turbo timer, at...

i have the 7mgte with an upgraded stock turbo, the threads in the head for the exhaust manifold have stripped out, i tried using the helicoil kit but no one told me to use oil when tapping so the new threads got chewed up when i pulled out the tap, i got a couple of them to hold but recently...

does anyone know of some places near denver where i can get my car on a dyno, im curious to see what it has after the rebuild.

just got my car running, went to pull it out and the gears started grinding, tried to put it in first, no grinding but it refused to go in. i have put a new pressure plate in, new clutch, had the flywheel resurfaced, and replaced the clutch release cylender. i have bled the release cylender...

I just got my engine back from the shop a few days ago, have it in the car right now and after 6 months i have forgotten where a few things go, i have figured out most of them but there is one vacume line i cannot figure out, i have some pics of it to help identify it, let me know what u come up...
