So I am thinking of getting a 2jz ge non vvti engine to put in my 89, but have a few questions. First I know that the mk4 supras had the same rods in the gte and ge block. Is that the same for the other 2j ge and gte blocks? I am staying away from the vvti engines as they have weaker rods...

I finally saved up enough for a stand alone for my 89 7mgte. I originally wanted a pro efi 48 as it did almost everything I wanted at a nice price point but then I learned that it didn't have knock control and it cost an extra 300 dollars for a cable to tune yourself. I was set to pull the...

I am debating painting my gauge needles red so they will better match my aftermarket gauges. I have read up on what to do and almost everyplace recommends taking the needles off. However several places I read said not to as they are hard to get back in there original positions. Also I tried...

I am in the middle of installing my AEM boost and UEGO gauges and am unsure where to wire them. There was a really good write up but I have been unable to find it. I have seen several people say that they can be wired into the cigarette lighter and I like that as it would be easy to work on...

I know a few people are using them on there mk3s but I wanted to know what they are doing about knock control/monitoring. I know the 48 doesn't have knock control but does it have monitoring capabilities that maybe throw a check engine light when knock is detected? This is the only thing...

I will shortly be installing a FFIM on my car that is currently flanged for a Q45 throttle body. From what I have read online the Q45 TB is like an on/off switch due how much larger then stock it is 83mm vs 60mm. So I guess my question is what TB would be best for street use. Should I just...

Looking for advice on a good wire crimper to do various electrical upgrades to the Supra. I have heard good thing about Sargeant crimpers but don't know which model and die or dies would be best for me. While this is only for my car (so doesn't need to be industrial strength) I would like...

Hey guys I am about to install a grant hub and wheel on my car and was wondering what all needs to be taken off from the column to install it. I removed the horn button and stock wheel, I also believe that the top half of the black plastic contact ring needs to be removed as the plug sticks out...

I just had my new Bilstien shocks delivered and when looking at the rear set i noticed that the flat portion of the top mount is in different places (facing different directions in relation to the bottom mounts) on both of them. Does anyone know if these can be turned with pliers or something...

I am attempting to recreate the Gixxer Drew Suspension on my mk3. In doing so i bought new rear top hats from autozone. However, when i was looking at them on a toyota website they specified one for each side. Are they different per side? If so can i use the generic ones on the rear and buy...

Hey everyone i have a quick question. What is the stock MK 3 ride height to the top of the wheel arches? I am thinking about doing my suspension this winter and want to know so i can buy drop spring/shocks or coilovers accordingly. I believe that my car has stock TEMS suspension but it seems...

So i finally finshed up all of my winter projects (i know its the start of summer) and while the car drives smooth it won't boost past about 5 pounds. I first ran the turbo/Wastegate with no washers and it hit 5 pounds so i put a washer behind it hoping to up the boost a little but still stay...

Hey everyone i was just wondering what if anything you have done to water proof your cold air intakes. I have the Weapon R system and the intake is basically right under the passenger headlight. I was thinking of getting the AEM air Bypass valve but it states on there website that it is NOT...

Alright, I just received my new CC and need to fab up a bracket. Now I know the premise behind the CC but not the actual internal operation of it. Does the CC need to remain in a vertical position to work or can it be mounted horizontally. Any help would be appreciated.

So i am thinking about moving my PS resevoir to inside the (US) passenger side fender and was wondering if i did that would i still need the PS cooling hard lines? My thinking is that by moving the PS resevoir to someplace outside the engine bay it will act as a cooler of it's own. However, it...

Hey everyone! I am trying to put my Supra back together from some of my winter projects and was curious if anyone knows what Charcoal Canisters we can use to relocate it inbetween the fender and the fendor liner? I do not want to remove it but am looking for what cars have one that will work...

Hey guys I am in the middle of swapping turbos and thought i would swap some gaskets while i was at it. I am having a hell of a time trying to get the whole turbo return gasket (return line to the block) off. I have tried using a single sided razor and soaking with a penetrating spray. The...

Hey everyone i did a test fit of my new turbo and had some questions. First off what is the proper way to cut SS oil lines? I need to cut one down and all i have is a 4.5 grinder with a cutting wheel. I am thinking this might work if i tape the cut. Also for those who have switched to an...

Hey guys just thought that i would post this up in case any of you are interested. In the April 2012 issue of Super Street there is a MKIII (White, 87, from NY) and MKIV (Red, 97, from TX) supra in the readers rides on page 81. They also talk about the possible chance of a Supra resurgence on...

So although it wasnt part of my original build plan i splurged on a used 60-1 turbo. Now i have a few questions. Can i run the turbo on the stock engine, wastegate, and BoV without anything else if i want to stay at stockish power levels until i can do more upgrading or should i just stick...
