    7MGTE TWIN TURBO

    its most likely an HKS setup. GReddy and Blitz both used Mitsubishi based turbos with 3 bolt flanges as i recall. as we already know, HKS has released a couple versions of their single T4 manifold for the 7M, so i wouldnt be surprised if they had a revised version of a twin kit. aside...

    started car w/ radiator cap off, coolant gushing out

    youre boned. you have combustion gasses leaking into the surrounding cooling jackets. a flush and pressure test wont fix anything. if your system is pressurized as soon as you start your engine, its 100% blown. hell, smell the bubbles coming out; they will smell like exhaust. thats confirmation...

    XS copy VS Aeromotives FPR (lots of pics inside)

    the XS diaphragm looks exaclty like the material used in the WG's and the BOV's. ive taken the bovs and WG's apart and it seems to be a platinum catalyzed silicone impregnated against a fiber weave, probably polyester. i doubt its fiberglass or anything fire-retardant. and silicone is DEFINITLY...

    Am I the only supra owner who...

    the fact that guys sit w/ their legs open further supports the claim that drinks belong in your crotch, not precariously perched behind your elbow waiting for blunt trauma after a shift or to have a hole poked in the bottom by something in your console consequently turning it into a sugary bath...

    Supercharger on a 7M

    very cool. i would pay your nephew to weld ANYTHING i ever needed! hes a talented fabricator, kudos to him! i hope to take on a project soon that involves multiple air compressors for the 7M ;) that blower is an M90 right, same as the Thunderbird Supercoupes? those are rated for...

    My first dyno since... ever!

    shouldnt be the boost falling off. if it was, i dont think it would come back just before redline. im really looking hard at knock, possibly severe knock and the timing was pulled almost clear down to 10*. and it really did look lean down low. my idle AFR's according to the dyno WB said...

    hard top vs. targa top

    targa for the win; its style, class, fun and exotica. however hardtop for the win; its function over form, more for spirited driving. i mean, id totally own a hard top if i didnt care about people looking down on me for skimping out on options and buying a lower level model. i have to...

    CT26 to T3 or T4 Adapter

    i have an original Maxx Autoworks T4 adaptor. doesnt need anything welded. its already got a flange for a tial 38mm WG. its stainless steel and such. i have a couple more pics if you need them.

    What is the worst mistake you have ever done to your supra?

    3. removing rear quarter window trim, losing my patience and yanking on it... causing the glass to explode. 2. hooking up my FC oil cooler backwards and subsequently getting bottom end noise due to low oil pressure, i think. and 1. not trusting my gut when i bought a "reman" head that...

    JT2MA71's Build. Dyno video on post # 1191

    cuz, response is made for people who cant make big numbers... like 240's and such. the ironic thing is, my friend who is a 240 fan (but hates the stigma) was just talking about this. all the drift crowd is concerned with is response, response, response. thats for people who want Disco-potatos...

    My first dyno since... ever!

    hey dave, thanks. i dunno what the boost is. the most ive seen on a stock CT w/o boost control on a full exhaust is like 12-14psi range. unfortunately, i dont have a boost gauge hooked up. either the fuel in my tank was just old and skunky, or i was getting too much timing after i reset my ECU...

    I am willing to trade a car for 91-98 Supra rims with tires(So. cal only)

    getting a vin checked wont stop a car from being crushed or seized. plus, the DMV isnt too keen on handing out info regarding a car that you cant prove you own. they dont like telling strangers personal information attached to vehicles. i mean, would you think its safe if i saw your car in...

    Wastegate Woes

    hes right. every WG ive seen creates a boost level exactly what the spring is rated for. my friend has a 10lb spring in his ebay tial V40 knockoff and it makes 10psi. i put an hks50mm knockoff with a 10psi spring on my friends T4 manifold w/ CT and it makes.... 10psi. so, something is up w/ your...

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    my rear tires are 26.3" tall, the fronts are 25.9" tall. i undertand what you mean by stretched when you say 235 on a 10" wheel... thats REALLY pulled/stretched in my book, lol. but my 255 up front on my 9" wheel recommended to me by my tire guy who sells/installs lots of tires for Mkiv's...

    JT2MA71's Build. Dyno video on post # 1191

    the video stopped at 2:54 for me too. but it sounds awesome man. it sounds just like every other 1200rwhp 2jz ive seen! hell, that car would put you in the 8's pretty easily if you ever wanted it to.

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    yo tim... so far in the rear, where i currently have my rubbing issues, going lower should make more problems with rubbing on the fender. the suspension articulation makes it look like the wheel moves out as it compresses, which will give me more room between the tire and strut. ill definitly...

    anyone using a Holset HX-35 from a 94-02 Dodge Ram Diesel?

    oh wow, cool. do you have any pics of that? id like to see how that looked. oh, and i think i figured out why these turbos will creep and spike so badly; only one of the 2 volutes are vented. thats why i have such horrible boost control problems on my truck. only the rear 3 cylinders are...
