Hello all, About two years abo I replaced my brake master cylinder (I installed it correctly...) due to brake fade. My car has ABS that doesn't work and I cannot bleed the ABS actuator properly (Nor can any shop I've taken it to). The brake pedal is squishy and quite scary (I don't drive this...

I'm on my last legs with this supra, and I'm giving it one last chance here. The car smokes a LOT on start up and even more so when it's a hot start. The smoke is white and it doesn't smell sweet, it smells like something's burning, almost like theres a ton of fuel in the exhaust and it's...

Hello all, My Supra is losing oil and I can't seem to figure out where it's going. It pulls 21 inches of vacuum at idle (I didnt change the rings when doing the bottom end), I have no boost leaks running 9 lbs of boost, I get no blue smoke out of the tail pipe. The car runs generally...

Hello all, I will be painting my MKIII Supra soon and I can't decide what color to paint it. I work at Napa and can mix paint according to the Martin Senour website and think both of the colors would look fantastic. They would both cost me the same to do and my interior will be painted...

I've had my 1988 MKIII Supra for three years now, when I got it (it was NA/Auto) it had this annoying problem. When I would turn the key I would hear the ECU click, and when I would turn back from the start position the starter would click. Back when I first got the car I knew nothing of...

Looking to just replace one rod and don't want to take my head off. I know that on most motors that the cylinders get smaller at the bottom, but I also know that some don't. My question is: can the 7M have it's pistons taken out from the bottom, or am I boned and have to take my head off? I...

I have a 2JZ laying around and wanted to put the 2JZ injectors into my 7M fuel rail along with the Lex AFM and Walbro 255LPH. My question is, will the injectors work with the 7MGTE fuel rail? My thinking is that they would. I couldn't see why they wouldn't, but I'd like to make sure before I...

I just recently read a thread about the Toyota Tacomas '00 and under rusting so badly that the frame would crack, and I felt inspired to write an extensive rant about my 7 month saga with my '05 Tacoma. Fortunately I have no rust, but I believe that is the least of my worries. This "Taco"...

I just picked up a set of 2JZ-GTE cams and I am not sure which is intake and which is exhaust. They say on them 2jz and in another location one says No1 and the other says No2. Is No1 Intake and No2 Exhaust? Searching yielded me the Sticky with the only refrence to this being 2JZ I for intake...

The Supra: 1988 Toyota Supra Nonturbo Auto 4.3:1 LSD Super White Exterior Burgundy Interior 190k Miles Chassis. $500 at a local junkyard in Fremont. BHG motor, Blown tranny, absolutley NO interior when I bought it. The 7M: Two acronyms and one word. JDM, BHG, RODKNOCK. Like some say...

I have been searching for about a week now for a decently priced turbo to put on my 2JZ. Most of the Turbos I have come across are in the 1.3k+ range for a 61 trim or higher BB T4 turbo. My questions: Is that the correct price range for such a turbo? If so, is it possible to take a journal...

Hello all, I'm looking for some advice on a few things, but first a background on my car: 1988 NA/AT converted to Turbo 5SPD using a JDM 1990 7MGTE and JDM 1991 R154, with a remanufactured 1991 7MGTE/AT ECU and NEW wire harness. I have been running 4 quarts of Mobil 1 10-30 (Group 4) and 2...

Any solution other than throwing a new AFM at it? No it's not a boost leak I swear. The car will hit it at 7PSI and continue boosting to 10PSI like nothing happened, and it doesn't sluff off or anything, it boosts strong.

Hello all, I'm looking to rebuild my 55k mile R154, as it's grinding going into 2nd gear (I learned stick on it and killed a synchro). I was wondering how much I should expect to pay for a rebuild at a shop, if I bring them the whole car with the transmission still installed. I do plan on...

Hello all, Before I get into detail of the problem, heres the history of my car: 1988 NA/AT with an 89 Turbo/5Spd. I bought a new wire harness and changed the HG, and I am very sure that this problem is not related to the HG job, I have faith in the work done to it, but who knows. My Cold...

Welp, BHG. I'm looking into buying a remanufactured head and keeping my old one as a future learning experience, I know what questions to ask the shops who sell them, but I was wondering if any of you have ever bought one? If so, where and for how much? What was done to it? Three angle valve...

Searching didn't yield much information, as I can see no reason why this wouldnt work other than the transmission. 89+ R154 with 4.3 Speedo Gear, 4.3 Rear end, and a Pre 88 Speedo If this wouldn't work, then what would I need to do to make my car have an accurately reading speedometer with...

Okay guys, it turns out it's cheaper to put a MHG on the Supra than to replace the upper control arm on my buick, so I'm going to part out the buick. My question is: Assuming that my engine has never been touched, how much will I need to machine off of the head and block to use a 1.2MM HKS...

UPDATE ON POST #16 This is not another one of those MY SUPRA BLEW UP threads. This is a slowly progressing problem. First of all, as you all know my Supra is a 88 NA/AT with an 89 T/5Spd. And you all may know that it has been overheating when I come off of the freeway. Well, after...
