    the Lex 550 mod

    Not sure what your other mods are, but if all you want is the extra 3 psi, why not just get a full turbo back exhaust and *optional* a boost controller? The 550 mod is just there to fool your ecu so you don't hit fuel cut. That doesn't happen until roughly 12 psi. The free flowing exhaust will...

    lexus afm +550cc injector mod not working. using stock AFM housing.

    In regards to this, I had the same problem running the rx7 injectors. People say it works without a problem.. I wasn't so lucky and it seems neither are you. However, it is an easy fix. Since the injectors are high impedence, and stock are low, you need to unplug the resistor pack, cut off the...

    What are your favorite things about MKIII Supras?

    I love that after not even seeing my car for 2 years now, every car I drive leaves me dreaming to drive my Mk3. I had to buy an 87 junker temporarily just to get the feeling of a supra back. Buying that also convinced me that I'll be doing a 5 speed swap when I get my car back. I own a 92 SC300...

    How to obtain at most 300 Wheel Horse Power

    I don't have any experience with it, but I've heard of many members on here running the Tanabe Medallion exhaust. Stock looks, quiet exhaust but a nice tone when you get on it. I'm sure the members actually running it can give their input.

    Man cave

    The lift is mobile, so the motor on the side does all the hydraulic lifting of the car; the pallet jack handle on the side would raise the whole lift assembly so you could move it wherever it's needed.

    Help me convince my Dad to buy an MK3 Supra! [PROBLEM] {LONG}

    As clean as this car looks, i did notice a few things. Rear seats look to be faded/worn on the tops. Hard to tell by the angle. The car isn't as babied as you think: Look at the passenger side of the engine bay, there's a boost T hooked up. Not a huge deal, it's probably running higher than...

    Like what... How

    It looks like you are using the stock lug nuts.. From those pictures, your wheels are made for acorn-type lug nuts, and the stock ones are the flat, washer-type lugnuts. In other words, if you're using the stock lug nuts, you need to buy new ones that are correct for the wheel; before you lose...

    Hunting a misfire - Injector impedance question

    http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=EM&P=4 I have the rx-7 550cc injectors as well. You can't just unplug the resistor pack, you have to solder the 4 wires on the harness side that plug into the resistor pack. Or do what I did and find a plug from the junkyard to...

    Need some help with some Wheels

    I have 17x9 +24 up front and they sit about perfectly. If I was another inch lower they would start to rub the fender, but on just lowering springs I'm fine. Rears I have 18x10 +30 and the tired tuck right inside the fender, lip pretty much even with the fender. I haven't rolled/pulled anything...

    How to install aftermarket power antenna from Napa on car with 3-piece wing

    I've heard a lot of bad things about those universal antennas, and since the supra already has a built in antenna in the back window, why put a second one there when you can just make the one in the window the primary? http://www.amazon.com/Dynex-Antenna-Adapter-Cable-DX-A1122/dp/B001RENI2A $3...

    Spearco intercooler install help

    Surprisingly I only took a few pictures after I installed mine, and if I don't have access to my car any time soon. Basically I have 90* couplers off the intercooler connecting the pipes. The piping kit is the DM intercooler kit, with only one slight modification to the pipe inside the fender...

    Driftmotion Exhaust - Straight Pipe in place of Resonator??

    You took the silencer out of the tailpipe right? I love my DM exhaust, somewhat quiet at idle yet still sounds mean, and loud as hell when you go WOT. Sounds amazing. If you think that's quiet, just go open downpipe..

    88 Turbo with 55k - all stock, orig owner... thoughts?

    I bought my 89 white package, all original, second owner, had it since '90, 95k miles for $3500. No rust, paint perfect, not a ding or scratch on the car. Leather interior, no fading, dash was perfect, no stains, no holes in the floor mats. It's an auto, but still turbo model. Original...

    Can I use a 60 trim and lexus maf without a tune? New headgasket without machining

    You don't have the 550s, nor the cash for them. Don't put the Lexus MAF on. The adjustable FPR is fine if you can tell what your A/F is, or even just set it to stock pressure. My recommendation, do the headgasket and valves, get it all put back together. Make sure it's running correctly, no...

    Dirt stuck in taillight? ideas?

    I just filled them with hot water and shook them like hell. Some pieces of dirt I had to move the taillight around like one of the cheap puzzle games, but I didn't want to go through the hassle/risk of heating them up and resealing them. It took quite a while, and I didn't get every microscopic...

    I hate to ask this, but.. BHG?

    Thanks for the advice guys. As for if it were a fresh rebuild, I have no idea. I bought it not running, trailered it home and eventually got it running. The motor felt strong and had some upgrades, so im guessing there was a rebuild at some point. I pressure tested my cooling system and found...

    I hate to ask this, but.. BHG?

    Search bar, I know. I've been looking for some good information, but it seems like google and the forums are clogged up with random threads. I've read through the common symtoms of a BHG, how to test for one, etc. I guess I'm just wanting some confirmation before I start tearing this thing...

    need second opinion on what to do

    Drive it? But really. Inspect everything, do the basic maintenance, oil/coolant change, check belts/hoses, spark plug/wires. Maybe a transmission/differential flush, compression test to verify headgasket, Etc. Once you do that and your engine is running strong, you can start with the mods. It...
