another one of my friends got a 98 trans am yesterday. Thats the only kind of car I would even think about trading my supra for.:sarcasm: Its a 6 speed but he doesn't really know how to drive it. I'll probably race him soon so I'll let you guys know

I am diasppointed in those cars. My friend got one the other day moving up from a v6 mustang and he thought it was soooo fast. Well lets just say I gave him a lesson on boost.:naughty: My mods: K&N, 3 in. turbo elbow to 3 in. open dp, and arp head studs, stock boost About 45mph roll I...

yeah thats on my to do list I am just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and how to fix it.

i think my check engine lightbulb is blown so i don't know if I have any codes. I had a boost leak in the turbo to intercooler hose and when I got up to 3000 rpms I could hear the turbo blowing the air straight into the atmosphere. It would also put out a cloud of black smoke. I replaced that...

it will build up to 5 psi but i think the valve is stuck open or something so it cant make power. it just kinda stumbles after 3000 rpms

my car will boost up to 5 psi but it is not making power. i think it is a faulty bypass valve but i am not sure. is there a way i can test it?

my dad took it for a coolant flush today and it was still overheating. its definately a bhg as you can feel the compression from the radiator. i guess i'll be pulling the engine pretty soon. i'm a mechanic so i shouldn't have too much trouble doing it. i have pulled an engine out of an 84 supra...

i will follow the advice that you guys have given me but could there be any other reason besides a bhg that would cause this problem

my dad wants to take it and get it pressure tested and flushed tomorrow. i was thinking it was clogged too because if part of the system was clogged the coolant wouldn't have anywhere to go. thats the only reason i could think of for the amount of force the water came out with. i bought the car...

the head was machined and the head bolts were put to stock torque i think

no i havent checked that yet i was having temperature spikes before all this happened and i thought it might be the water pump but i didnt think the cooling system could have become that pressurized if the water pump wasnt working

i have been having overheating problems. hg was replaced about 600-700 miles ago. the oil looks fine. i put a new thermostat in last night and i topped of the radiator. i left the cap off to see if any bubbles would come out of the radiator. well i started the car and the coolant started gushing...

fixed lol i will be getting a cd player soon though

at bdtrims.com you can see examples of the crbon fiber but on other cars. they didnt have a picture of a supra on there so i sent them mine. and its not a sticker its difficult to describe but its about 2-3mm thick. here are some more pictures and this is a 383 for a dodge that i just...

well the outside has a few scratches and a rust bubble on the RR fender but the interior is near mint. the only thing worng is the sun visors are a little worn out and the dash has a few cracks in it. the back seats look like they are brand new lol i don't think anyone has ever sat in them. i'll...

thanks the kit was 150 and the bezel was around 30. you can get it in carbon fiber or wood grain or just a plain color i went with aluminum causei just wanted the car to look a little more modern. and the hurst well thats just preference i havent even driven with it yet gotta replace the timing belt
