Hi. I worked on my car for he first time in almost 2 years (not ncluding my suspension swap a few mos ago). It felt weird being under the hood again. Also the first time wrench was put to supra in my new house. Backstory all begins when this motor was built about 5 years ago for a guy...

I love the 12v but I want more room so goin for a qcsb and get rid of my STD cab. The 2nd gen qc isn't big enough, plus a 12v qcsb is uber rare. And I hate the 24v vp44 motors. I probably won't do much to the crd either, just bpu-ish. I know what you sayin about smokin people out. I did the...

Ah a nv4500. I had a 97 dually like that. It was a 215hp pump tho. That thing would get loose in 2nd and3rd gear and then bark 4th. 26feet o f truck gettin sideways is quite a thrill, especially when roallin coal. I can't wait to sell my truck cuz I'm thinking about an 06 6sp cummins next...

I have he same problem; my boost gauge doesn't go high enough and it's a 30psi unit. I think I broke It too, it doesn't rest at 0 anymore. I really want new gov springs too. That's all it really needs to haul serious ass. Anything else will require alot more work like a turbo, injectors, dv's...

still running around, 40+ miles daily, on my setup, zero issues!

the issue regarding dwell and saturation time of the primary coil winding is more or less a moot point when using coil packs intended for the same type of ignition system. the 7mgte and 2jzge-vvti are both wasted spark. they fire at the same rate and frequency as opposed to comparing wasted...

you know... the pistons have a -16cc volume... so two capfuls of oil probaby turned your dished pistons into flat-tops. also, that coolant leak is most likely coming from your head gasket. since your head just came from the machine shop, its certainly had a pressure test done after the new...

... i put a CT26 on an XSpower T4 tubular manifold. it ran pretty strong and sounded slightly JZ-ish.

i was pondering the idea of sequential twins but parallel is much easier. and since the OBX twin T3/greddy manifold is only a couple flanges away from a standard T3 foot print, i thought about getting one and modifying it... but im not sure when a pair of T3's with 0.86AR hotsides would come...

i had IK24's in my car and had a horrible top end misfire, almost like a rev limiter. i switched them to Denso 2330's and the car is way better. i thought the iridiums were supposed to be super durable and long lasting. mine had about 10k on them and the center electrode was like new... however...

i saw it when i took the turbo off... fortunately, ive got some time before it becomes a huge problem; that split is on the unpressurized side of the hose clamp. you can see the marks inside the hose where the nozzle of the compressor discharge extends and seals against a clean part of hose. ill...

first off, the MKIV uses a solid hub, not sprung. and the flywheel in stock format is dual-mass. thats where the driveline dampening takes place. however its said that the stock flywheel is NOT to be resurfaced and re-used so people buy aluminum flywheels and RPS clutches as standard upgrades...

H&R comes in more than just one style for each application. the OE-sport is a good all around spring and doesnt dump your car on its nuts nor does it ride harshly. its a mild drop (less than 1") and is only slightly stiffer than stock. i had BG springs and GR2 struts on my old gray 89 turbo...

i mash the throttle all the time. my car was set to 17psi on this before i took it apart. the only catch was, it wouldnt hold 17psi; it fell off to 13psi every time at about 4500. between 2500 and 4500 was strong though. also, this turbo is unusually tight; extremely low mileage. unfortunately...

Quik, its about 9.5:1 compression. if the manifold studs strip out the head, i end up switching to 7/16x14 bolts, mainly cuz helicoiling in the car is like you said. Titan didnt use a gasket on my friends MKIV. he has a dynamic turbo manifold and a PTE72. the old gasket was shot and i took...

well, i do beleive it was a fel-pro gasket or an otherwise cheap aftermarket gasket part of a full engine gasket kit. this turbo was put on a few years ago when the 60-1 on it let go... when this motor went in my car, i didnt touch the turbo. but now, its been heavily touched by me. maybe i...

since the brakes on my car were acting up, its been parked for a while. i decided to get off my ass and pull the turbo off to fix my pre- and post-turbine exhaust leaks as well as port out my WG hole to alleviate my boost creep issues. i wanted to be able to reliably control my boost level so i...

so, when i went to the dyno, my car had something of an exhaust leak. i knew my DP flange was warped and i assumed thats where the leak was; post-turbo. well, more recently, i found out i had a pre-turbine exhaust leak too. you think this gasket is reusable? i stumbled across a toyota...

thanks broseph! no birthday presents for the supra.. incase anyone was wondering.

well, ive swapped all those components before and had no luck with it. so would a faulty brake booster have no bearing on the dragging of the calipers???
