    HKS BOV and BIC downpipe wierdness

    Carrier bearing is a possibility but this wasnt like this before... And the carrier bearing is farther back... Im almost positive its not the brakes... They are weak (need new master cyl after sitting 6 months) but not capable of this vibration.... Im thinking a bolt or hanger is messed...

    HKS BOV and BIC downpipe wierdness

    I used a new gasket and nuts. It is seated tight... We are going to have to kack the car up as something is hitting. If I turn left it sounds like the driveshaft is nailing the car or rubbing real hard. Its possible the exhaust I just hung is too close. (tanabe, titan cat and BIC downpipe.)...

    The supra drew a crowd.....

    I didnt think the car would get all the attention it did last night... My belt was splitting on my Jimmy so my best friend and I buzzed over to parts store in the Supra... It was her first run out with the upgrades... I pulled into the lot and people kept looking all over the car. I ran...

    HKS BOV and BIC downpipe wierdness

    Its just odd that at low boost (I cant get into the car just yet as I just installed the turbo) the thing sounds like that. Im going to check the downpipe tonight... Im going to be insanely upset if its leaking at the top of the turbo where the downpipe bolts to the turbo... We were soooooo...

    HKS BOV and BIC downpipe wierdness

    I have questions. Any on you with the BIC downpipe, does it have a gap at the top of the turbo? Mine seems to but Im thinking the gasket is sealing it. I have to go repo my feeler guages from somebody who borrowed them... I know a razor blade fits the gap in the top middle as I was like WTF is...

    Save cash on Titan Catalytic

    Note I have not reamed a vendor... I just took note that the 'Titan' cat was a Cat CO cat with flanges. Im honestly happy with the downpipe (made by a supra vendor) that I had ceramic coated. The oil lines MDC made me. AND best of all the lower IC pipe sent by a Supramania vender...

    Save cash on Titan Catalytic

    There is a difference between a small price difference and then there is the 49$ difference where you open a box from a company and see 'cat co' on the cat which is the same 'cat co' that costs less where you buy your gm stuff. I support the vendors and as a matter of fact I just took a...

    Save cash on Titan Catalytic

    I had seen somewhere where someone asked about the flanged catalytic converters for the Supra... Well you could go to Titan and pay 180+shipping from the 'supra vendors' :aigo: :aigo: :aigo: Or you could just go to Summit Racing and pay 140$ for the EXACT same Catalytic from Catco. Yup the...

    I know a guy that is selling the pipe that replaces the upper S pipe that goes into your intake. It is set up for the HKS SSV and that BOV is the best I have seen... The pipe has a grey or silver crinkle finish... V

    Go and peek at www.joncjennings.com I have pics of my other supras and the custom stereos I did... Who here can say they had an 18" woofer in their Supra? V

    Capacitor

    I have been installing stereos for a VERY long time... I can tell you the most expensive BUT cometition spanking addition was adding a 170 amp alternator to my system. I have tried marine batteries when they were the thing... Dual batteries even 3-4 batteries at a bass off... Capacitors...

    oil line feed diameter size?

    Its the MDC braided line kit. The stock line is 7/32 while the MDC line feed is a smaller 5/32 at the flange. Im just wanting to make sure as I do not want to screw up my turbo. This build has cost a ridiculous amount of money for me and I want it right. My main problem is I REALLY...

    oil line feed diameter size?

    How much difference does this make... Im installing the braided lines and noticed that at the turbo flange Im going from a factory 7/32 to 5/32.... Its a very noticeable difference. Anyone running these lines have issues with less oil flow to the turbo... I have upgraded to the 57 trim...
