I recently picked up a 1988 MKIII parts car. While checking the engine out I noticed the turbo had a really small inducer size on the compressor wheel. I know there have been many variations of the CT26 but which one is this? Any ideas? It says CT26 on the compressor housing but does not say...

I'm freshening up a 7M and I am looking to replace the snap rings for the piston wrist pin. Unfortunately my Toyota dealer has stated that there are only 9 left in the system, and I need 12. Is there an alternate part that is known to work as a replacement here? I've heard that certain JE...

The slide pin on one of my front brake calipers seized, after reviewing the TSRM it recommends Lithium Soap Base Glycol Grease as the lubricant for the pins. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=BR&P=29 After looking around the internet to find a source it seems to be...

Backstory: I recently purchased a 1992 Supra. Overall it was in really good condition. But the A/C didn't work. The previous owner lived by the ocean where it's cool so he never bothered to get it fixed. He did say that the owner before him(original owner) had a R-134 conversion done on it. The...

Did Toyota ever coat the factory 7M_GTE pistons? I just pulled the pistons out of a 1992 motor and the top of the pistons look like they have a gold coating. Even after cleaning them up there is a clear line. I'll get pics up in a minute. I don't remember my 1987 pistons looking like this.

I'm currently in need of some replacement pins ( 82998-12620). They are for the crankshaft position sensor on the harness side. The insulation has cracked at the base of the connector and the wire has begun to bird cage. Champion Toyota wants $17.97 per pin and pigtail. This price seems insane...

Is it physically possible to swap a PPS rack onto a pre-89 sub-frame? I have access to the rack harness and computer, and would like to swap them into my 1987, as they are in excellent condition. And my current rack is in need of a rebuild. So does the PPS rack fit or will the regulator solenoid...

It's now summer and I'm in the process of wiring up my A/C and I have a question. With the 7M the A/C amplifier had the responsibility to activate the A/C relay. On the 2JZ the ECU has that responsibility. I've been thinking, for this swap, migrating the wire over to the ECU. So my question is...

Since the Electrical SME forum is temporarily closed I suppose this is the next appropriate forum. I need to pick up a new connector for my igniter, and was looking at the part numbers and prices. Looking at the connector I need (90980-11151), I was wondering if it comes with pigtale leads...

I'm pretty excited, Fedex dropped off my order from Champion/Jay Marks Toyota today. Now I can fix a buch of little issues that have been bugging me. I still have a ways to go but this is a good start. I picked up the gaskets to keep the rain water out of my trunk. The side view mirror...

If you have been watching the History Channel you might have seen this. http://gizmodo.com/368651/new-video-of-bigdog-quadruped-robot-is-so-stunning-its-spooky I realize it's just a robot, but damn it's frightaningly life like, so much so I actually feel a little bad for it when they kick...

Car Info: 1987 MKIII R154 Aristo 2JZ-GTE with 43,000miles on the motor. 3in turbo back exhaust A toggle to electronically switch between sequential and true twin operation of the turbos. As the title suggests I have a smoking 2JZ. I tend to crop dust during deceleration and during...

I guess it just goes to show the sales people don't really know anything, But I was still shocked as hell. I went to Foothills Toyota in Burlington, WA, to pick up some parts for my MKIII and while I was there I decided to take one of the new 2010 Tundras out for a test drive. So I put the...

Car: 1987 Supra Stock Aristo 2JZ mated to a R154 2.5" intake pipe with DM FMIC 3" Exhaust with a 50mm restrictor plate The problem I'm dealing with is that the turbos won't push past 4.5~5 psi of pressure. The engine will turn all the way to redline without a problem, abit with a lack of...

I am currently completing a 2jz swap in to my MKIII, but I'm having a problem. First what I have. This is a stock 2JZGTE out of an Aristo, it's been put into my 1987 MKIII and bolted to a R154. Everything is together except the exhaust. At the moment it's dumping out of the y-pipe. Now...

Has anybody else had trouble sourcing the glass for the rear hatch? I've tried three different auto glass shops in the area and nobody can even get a listing for it. I also asked if they could swap the rear glass from my parts car, and the general consensus is "not without breaking it." I feel...

I had a friend ask me why the NISMO Tokachi 24-hour Nissan GT-R removed the two recirec valves, and blocked off the holes. I wasn't able to answer him because I have no idea why. They say it's one less thing to fail, But doesn’t that make the turbos more prone to failure?. Don't you want your...

For all of you guys that have done the 2JZ swap, have any of you managed to keep the AC compressor?. I've managed to get it all bolted up by swapping compressor head the way Arnout recommended on his site. However now that it is bolted up I can't get the power steering pump to mount back into...

I got the car with old bubbling cheap window tint on the rear and quarters. Now it's worse and becoming a nuisance. The rear quarter windows I'm not worried about. I can deal with that. But the rear window is a big issue. The tint is dead and difficult to see through. I've taken it to a shop and...

Looking to see what junk/auto salvage yards there might be here in Socal, preferably in the San Diego area, but not necessary. So I'd like to see whats out there and what places you have seen MKIII's at.
