    AEM EMS speed density install

    Hey guys! I'm currently working on a customers Supra (which just so happens to be my old car...) and I'm installing an AEM EMS v1. P/N 1130-031. I'm attempting to hook it up via speed density, but I'm having some issues. The IAT sensor is easy, 2 wires, wired into two pins on the old AFM plug...

    Icc 2015

    Anybody planning on going? I'll be there both days with my 89. Thought it'd be pretty slick for a bunch of Supras to roll in... Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

    Upgraded CT26

    Hey guys. I had a few questions regarding upgraded wheels. I have access to CNC lathes at school and I was thinking it would be fairly simple to make my own upgraded CT26. Basically I had two questions for you guys. One of them is kind of a moot point, since I have mics and what not.. But I was...

    Issues with HKS gear

    I'm attempting to run HKSs EVC, VPC, and GCC. I have two sets of issues... First, lets start with the biggest of them. My EVC does not control boost. When I first got it, it was set to poppet (external) style wastegates. I didn't know this, and so it just did not control boost. Period. Which...

    HKS EVC issues

    I have a first generation EVC, and while I was super excited to wire it in and experience 17 psi of boost to red line, I got a little more than I bargained for. It gave me 15 psi of boost when I was supposed to give me 8. No control over the boost level on any setting. So I dug into it a little...

    My 89 HKS Supra build

    First and foremost, my goals with this car is an overall GOOD performer. Good in the straights, good in the curves, and good in long distance road trips. All while maintaining the idea that I built the car in the late 80s or early 90s. I.E. only old school tuners and the like. But, before we get...

    I miss the good old days

    It just seems like nothing new is posted anymore. Everyone seems to have sold their supra, and moved on. either that or they're just being quiet. I tried being a part of the face book group... But they're just a metric ton of ass hats over there. What's going on??

    Break up!

    I canNOT figure this out. I've had this break up for as long as I can remember.. From 5000 rpm to the rev limiter it breaks up. Badly. MODS: Walbro 255, rebuilt 7mgte, stock turbo @ 11 psi of boost. Full front mount and 3 inch turbo back exhaust. I originally thought my coils were kicking...

    Manual Boost Controllers and You

    So I've recently installed a MBC to my car and the results piss me off. It hits 10-11 psi all day long. By red line (well. By 4k) it's bled to stock boost already. It's a ball and spring type MBC, and it has the relief hole. Is there anyway to fix this? Or is that just an MBC thing?

    Kind of a strange steering issue...

    Well this is my first car with PPS, and I believe thats the cause of my issue.. basically my steering is fairly tight for a 25 year old car, but every once in awhile when I turn left it is super loose. And only when I turn left... Right is always tight, and sometimes left is as well. Now I was...

    Mk3 Supra Sighting

    Saw a Black 1989 or 1990 Supra on sawblades a couple blocks north of O and 70th parked in a driveway. I thought maybe the guy who owns it is on these forums, so I thought I'd post! Super clean car too!

    I hate that...

    I hate that every single abnormal noise is attributed to rod knock with these cars. For example just today I was going around a corner and I kinda got on it coming out of the corner. My exhaust very rhythmically rattled, and my heart dropped. I thought my engine was about to kick the bucket. I...

    A quick question..

    So, this may be just something stupid.. and ill probably get flamed for it.. but I've been tracking down my severe lack of performace.. it was running like ass, getting terrible mileage, no power, and random MILs. I ended up replacing the engine harness and that cured the running like ass...

    7M-GTE engine harness

    I'm just tired of electrical issues. So I've decided to buy a good condition harness, and just wanted to do some simple tests to make sure that its as good as it looks on the outside. I've already checked nearly every wire on the harness for continuity and they all check out.. I was wondering if...

    Performance Issue

    Well, my car was seeming slower than usual, and it started burning oil on deceleration and after boosting. Typical blown turbo symptoms. So I purchased a 57 trim CT off a member on here. Expecting to rip the tires off the first time I hit boost in first gear after the turbo swap, instead, it...

    ABS issues

    Alright. So here's the deal. This is my first Supra with ABS, and I'm having a little trouble. My last car was an N/A shell, which I swapped over a full GTE swap, with R154 trans. I've since swapped the engine and transmission (along with some other bits and pieces..) to a 89 auto turbo targa...

    Subwoofer options?

    Well, I already have 2 10 inch Pioneers, but the targa absolutely will not fit (not much else will fit back there anyway...) and was really looking to upgrade and downsize lol. I was hoping to go to a 12 inch ported with room to stow the targa. It would be icing on the cake to be able to blow...

    Quick question...

    Is there anyway to figure out what sensor is tripping the alarm? Like check codes in the alarm ECU or something along those lines. I have a bad switch/wire somewhere causing my alarm to randomly go off throughout the day. I threw my spare theft computer on just to check, and sure enough...

    Fluctuating Timing

    Hey, I just swapped my 7m-GTE from my 1990 Supra which was wrecked into my new 1989 Supra, and there is ONE problem (so far...). When you first start the car, it seems to run great. Albeit a little sluggish on quick throttle blips. But my 7Ms have nearly always been like that when cold. Anyway...

    90-89 Heart Transplant/Build

    Well, I bought my first car in 2009 I believe, and that car was a 1990 Toyota Supra. 3E5 Super Red, N/A, 5 Speed. However, with 214k on the clock, and all of them driven in Nebraska winters, there was a lot of cancer. After repairing a lot of the rust on the car (minus the rusty rocker panel), I...
