    2JZGTE Turbo Options - BWs362, Garrett GTW3884r (62mm) or Garrett GTX3582r

    Hey guys, what's going on. So the time has come for me to swap in a 2JZGTE in my Mk3 Supra. I've been watching the 2JZ-swap-madness accelerate over that last 5 years and honestly, I'm fearing the worst in the next 5 years as these engines will be both over priced and hard to get. So I'm going to...

    7MGTE Broken Timing Pulley Guides - Possible Fix??

    What's happening guys. Alright so this is just straight BS! I heard a grinding noise coming from the front of my 7M (sounded like it might have been the belts); then I listen closer and it was coming from inside the timing cover. So, I pulled off the timing cover to find that my belt was slid...

    Wanna Try Royal Purple 10W-40 Oil for the Summer - Too Thick or Thin??

    What's going on guys. So I'm debating whether I should stick to Castrol Edge 5W-40 or step it up to a higher grade (Royal Purple) thicker 10W-40 for the summer in a week or two. My 7MGTE has 120,000+miles on it; I recently installed an Innovate MTX oil pressure gauge as well. Idle: 10-13psi...

    Throwing on a Driftmotion CT2657trim - Headgasket First??

    What's going on guys. Alright, so I got my ct2657trim turbo from DM (and not Ebay as w/ my other thread lol) a few weeks ago (my current stock ct26 is blown - badly).

    Cxracing Ct26 bolt-on Turbo on EBay - Bad Idea??

    Alright, so I've been a bum the past few months cause I've continuously driven around in my Supra with blown Ct26 turbo smoking up everywhere as I'm idling; it's my daily driver (besides winter).

    BIC Divorced Downpipe or Cheap Ebay Divorced Downpipe??

    Hey guys, so I just lowered my Supra on Megan EZ Street Coilovers and dropped it almost 2 inches; now I'm scrapping my downpipe/exhaust in/out of my driveway. It caused the gasket seal btwn the turbo and downpipe to separate slightly (corner bolt between the turbo and exhaust manifold wasn't...

    Driftmotion Exhaust - Straight Pipe in place of Resonator??

    So I've been driving around with my DM Exhaust (w/ DM downpipe) for almost three months now and honestly....it's too damn quiet (for me). The DM Exhaust comes with a resonator integrated into the midpipe (no CATs). I was thinking to get two flanges and weld them onto a straight pipe replacing...

    Running too Lean when Idling??

    Hey guys, a buddy of mine just help me install my AEM UEGO Wideband afr. I've had it installed for a week now and when I'm idling my afr jumps back and forth between 14.8-16.5 (sometimes spikes to 17 and drops back down); on average I'd say it's around mid 15s. But when I'm at WOT, my afr is...

    Coilovers or Shock/Springs??....keep in mind, I'm broke.

    What's happening fellow Supra enthusiasts? Alright, so I bought my 88' Supra Turbo back in Oct. 2013 and the only mod was Tokico blues in the rear. The handling balance is "off" in my Supra as the front is softer than the rear (so I stay in TEMS mode to even out the balance as much as possible)...

    Cam Seal Change - Do I need to loosen the Camshaft?

    What's happening fellow 7mgte folks! Alright, so now that my college semester is over I can tend to this oil leak on 7mgte. Just got my cam and front main seals in the mail from Driftmotion today. However, a mechanic told me that I need to loosen the camshaft in order to properly place the new...

    Roommate Starting to Dislike Me - My Supra is too Loud

    Ok, so I finally got my Driftmotion downpipe and installed it about a month ago. I'm running open downpipe and my Supra is DAMN LOUD (I love it!). However, my roommate has sleeping problems and when ever I get back from a "spirited" drive late at night (say 1am) I wake him up as I'm backing up...

    Want to Raise Boost on 7mgte from stock to 10psi with Oil Leaking... Bad idea??

    Okay, so I got an 88' 5sp Turbo completely stock w/ 105,000+ miles on it back in Oct. 2013. However, it has an oil leak. Its coming from the front of the motor; I think it may be the oil pan. I'm hoping its not the cam seals front main seal! But I been driving it since topping off the oil and it...

    7mgte Oil Leak, Lucas Oil Treatment or Not?

    Keep in mind, I'm a newbie. Alright, so I finally got a Supra. Its a 1988 Mk3 Turbo Targa 5sp w/ 107,000+ miles completely stock. However, its leaking oil. The previous owner said he stopped driving it over the summer so maybe the cam seals or front main seals swelled up or something. He gave...

    Under Carriage Coating - Rust Prevention?

    Hey guys, I just got my first Toyota Supra. Its a 1988 Targa 5sp Turbo with 105,000 miles, completely stock. The under carriage has minimal to no rust (pretty much none) and I'd like very much to keep it that way. This is my daily driver (somewhat) cause I'm in college but don't need to drive to...
