    T61 Bolt on Turbo by Cx Racing

    sounds great paradox, i knew this turbo would spool half decent, 3500 rpm is not bad at all! Now all those other people on here can stop complaining b/c it 'won't spool before 5000RPM', thanks for proving me right lol ;) Would be awesome to hear a vid outside the car to really hear the turbo...

    Almost Traded the Supra Today

    yea, its tough to get rid of these cars. Putting so much sweat and blood into them is why. I've had someone hand me the key to his '07 3xx BMW this past summer while on vaca in exchange for my car randomly at a gas station and he was completely serious about it, tempting but didn't take long to...

    Can you fry a starter?

    Well if the battery is in fact new then it could be wiring in between, are you sure you have very good contact on the terminals and strong ground points? I can tell you from personal experience after relocating several batteries to the hatch area (3 different chassis), I actually needed a second...

    Race Ready 7M Code 51 Now 32

    right on target, next check the resistance of the ISC and ensure proper functionality. Look in the TSRM for proper testing procedure.

    best thing youve overheard about your supra

    group of girls rolled up beside me and a buddy in the car while cruising to the bar and heard them yelling at me "Back to the future!" lol

    Quiet Supra Please!

    :dunno: either way i like it, though i wish you could hear the turbo more readily like most of the straight through design exhaust systems.

    Quiet Supra Please!

    Ive been interested in finding a cut out as well to put in place of my test pipe. Always been weary of them and the sealing ability.

    Quiet Supra Please!

    On my first Supra. People have no idea its modified, its totally sleeper until you hear the BOV that is.

    Quiet Supra Please!

    As an owner of an HKS dragger (the one that looks like stock exhaust, not the other one), they are super quiet. Its just enough to give you car a throaty deep sound and people to notice you a car over but not at all loud for someone to pay attention more than a car length away unless your on the...

    PVD Coating, anyone know/ have experience with it? (read chrome wheel owners)

    If you own chrome wheels/parts I am suggesting you look into this process or at least be aware of its existence as i'm finding, chrome definitely doesn't last a lifetime or even close to, and its expensive to redo. Well if you are not aware of PVD coating, its a relatively new process that...

    Fuel Pressure Bleeding Off

    My Aeromotive has done this since day one. Replaced the diaphragm after the fire a couple years ago and still the same thing. I have not had any ill side effects in over 3years so it simply is not a concern anymore.

    Race Ready 7M Code 51 Now 32

    how much vac are you pulling? In in-Hg? 18-20 is good, 20 being ideal, anything lower than 18 and something is leaking. I would test this both on a cold and hot motor and see if you notice a difference

    Race Ready 7M Code 51 Now 32

    You can get a TPS at autozone or something like it for half the price. Im not sure what you're not getting, pulling the efi fuse will have zero, none, natta, zip effect on code 51. You did something to make it go away.

    Race Ready 7M Code 51 Now 32

    This is a very well covered issue. but once again, code 51 99% of the time is the IDL signal and lack there of. Your TPS should NOT be used to adjust your idle so long as you are not getting a code, what is the theory behind this idea?? It doesn't make any sense? This is a REAL TIME code, it...

    Picked up a new hobby while I was gone. Salt water aquarium.

    Nice, I've always liked aquariums, but the problem with the fish/aquarium hobby, the interest can quickly die out, especially with salt water. Its expensive, high maintenance, and with little return IMO. So it looks pretty, whoop-de-do, now what? Lets play a game of what fish will eat the $150...

    Backfire between shifts???

    First, your stocker is not a BOV its a BPV, and are you sure its working correctly? Have you been experiencing any compressor surge? All the noise is, is unburnt fuel igniting from the heat of the exhaust so somehow you have too much unused fuel in between shifts. If you are venting to atm. on...

    Smoke AFTER decel, good compression, new turbo, 2000mi since rebuild

    As nick said, the vacuum is stronger during decel and occasionally has the ability to 'suck' out the oil past the seal. My car does not smoke on start up ever, but after a long decel. and a hot motor I can smoke quite a bit during my stop at lets say a light. I'm not sure why this happens so...

    Smoke AFTER decel, good compression, new turbo, 2000mi since rebuild

    Sounds like a poor valve seal. Mine started to go after only 15K miles after my rebuild. Its very very intermittent for me though so I simply ignore it for now, not a huge deal.
