    STUPID EGR cooler replacement

    OK, I'll be more helpful. - Unbolt the transmission mount from the crossmember. - Jack up the transmission as much as you can (so it tilts the engine forward). If you have a very thick radiator, check for fan clearance first! - I used a flex head ratcheting wrench and the adapters that make...

    thermostat replacement job?

    Actually, I like that they stretch/break easily (the bolts that is, not the threads). Just did some work on the miata and they have much larger fasteners, and I was tightening to the torque spec...and instead of the bolt giving, the water pipe outlet broke. On the supra, the bolt would have...

    would this crack cause car not to go into boost?

    That crack, no, as it's only an "ear" in the casting to allow it to bolt down. You have problems elsewhere. I'd check plug gap first. Start with the stock gap and if that doesn't work, close the gap a bit.

    Lots of White smoke only after boost? Ideas on what I can try? Tons of info inside!

    Yup, I know that from experience :( Brake fluid also does bad things to your motor...

    Fuel pressure issue

    Cutting a hole is fine...but for safety reasons the tank needs to be out to do it. So it's kind of pointless :)

    HELP! im not sure what most of this stuff is or does?!?!?!

    Well, the nitrous and CO2 systems can left alone (just don't hook up a bottle), but the meth will help with tuning. It probably really needs a good tune, but you'd have to see what it has for electronics. Might want to hunt around for someone that knows these cars really well up in your area...

    Incorrect, MVPMotorsports got them to start producing them again.

    thermostat replacement job?

    The gasket is an o-ring, and requires no sealant. Also, DO NOT overtighten the bolts, they WILL snap. Torque spec is only 69 in/lbs (not foot/lbs!)

    HELP! im not sure what most of this stuff is or does?!?!?!

    Not really a lot to clean up. It's all there for a good reason. Well, the NO2 and CryO2 systems could be ditched. The meth injection system would be wise to keep if you're looking to make power. It's also not methane, it's methanol ;) Also...that's probably the steal of the century if the...

    How hot is considered overheating?

    Biggest crock of crap I've ever heard. Water cooling significantly lengthens the lifespan of a turbo, that's why it was done in the first place. Hell, good luck getting your warranty covered on a water cooled turbo rebuild...

    There's a LOT of stuff going on. Really need to see someone that knows these cars to really know what's going on. Probably needs a tune.

    How hot is considered overheating?

    Bad idea since it's the t-stat bypass. It's why you loop the lines if you go to a non watercooled turbo. Base of the windshield is a high pressure zone. You hurt your cooling doing that at highway speeds (not to mention the sides of the hood aren't sealed anyway)

    STUPID EGR cooler replacement

    Use only OEM gaskets for that one... Even Fel-Pro uses a cheap paper gasket for it that isn't up to the job.
