    Wow, I registered 15 years ago! It feels like only yesterday when I got my first supra at 19 years old. I've blown up a few, and rebuilt a few, and enjoyed every minute of it. Without this forum, I never would have had the confidence to take on those early builds and develop into who I am today...

    Wastegate rod comes off occasionally?

    i was unaware that there was a circlip, i don't suppose this is something that i can get from toyota is it? I may have to rig something up.

    Wastegate rod comes off occasionally?

    I have a stock ct26 with an mbc set to ~12psi. Every once in a while, my wastegate rod/arm will come off of the wastegate hinge. It's really annoying, because i have to wait for the car to cool off and then remove the accordian hose, unbolt the wastegate, re-attach it to the hinge, and then...

    Oil pressure issues in boost

    i replaced the turbo, mine had miles of shaftplay.. The oil pressure is now within spec, if not a little higher than before i had this issue. Apparently my turbo was so far gone that it was affecting my oil pressure :aigo:

    What suspension/brake mods for street/road course?

    Any thoughts on this? I've got a bunch of F body friends that think they are hot shit with their live axles when we cruise back roads :biglaugh:

    Question about sealing rear timing cover(with pics)

    I've had an issue with the cps leaking before and i've replaced the o-ring on it. It doesn't leak anymore, its possible that i didn't install one of the front seals properly. This was the first motor that i've ever built, so i've been paying for my mistakes since day one. It's a wonderful...

    Question about sealing rear timing cover(with pics)

    yeah its a composite with ARP studs, and it will be another one this time. Its just an engine to play with, i have a 2jzge that i'm building for an na-t swap. My 7m will probably never see over 300hp, it's there to keep me entertained and to set up megasquirt as i will be using 7m components on...

    Question about sealing rear timing cover(with pics)

    I believe it was, but it's been a while. It feels flush with the deck, if that matters.

    Question about sealing rear timing cover(with pics)

    I guess I made it out to be more complicated than it really is lol. Hopefully this will eliminate that pesky oil leak, thanks for the info!

    Question about sealing rear timing cover(with pics)

    I leak a little bit of oil from my timing case, and i've read in the tsrm that you are supposed to apply 'packing seal'(which i assume can be permatex 'the right stuff') to these 2 points on the timing case: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EM&P=55 I rebuilt my...

    What suspension/brake mods for street/road course?

    Hi! i have an '87 turbo with a rebuilt 7m. I have a 2jzge that will I probably swap in next winter(na-t of course) with hopes of a solid 450ish whp.

    Oil pressure issues in boost

    I just pulled the oil cooler relief spring, and it still seems pretty stiff. Is there something specific that I should look for?

    Oil pressure issues in boost

    The oil cooler is stock, i run 6 qts, and the pcv system doesn't seem to have any excessive oil and it is the stock routing.

    Oil pressure issues in boost

    I got the idea from the 7m assembly tips thread by Adjuster: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5631 I would drop the pan but i'll have to borrow a hoist so it will be a bit. In the meantime i'll check the oil cooler relief

    Oil pressure issues in boost

    The oil level is fine. I measured the depth of the pan with a straight edge and ever so slightly bent the pickup tube to come about 3/8" from the bottom of the pan. Should i not have done this? I've had 8,000 miles of good oil pressure, why would it do this now? I know that my turbo is pretty...
