I enjoyed the mailing lists when they were still active, even picked up a gmail account when they first came out because I could start to use the then new archiving feature and 1GB of data to archive the massive number of emails. Then I moved on to the forums which have been great but they are...

I understand sometimes you have to use what you have. But bronze? Bronze and aluminum sit on almost the complete opposite end of the galvanic scale. With aluminum sitting on the anode side and the most likely to corrode. Hopefully it doesn't become an issue, but couldn't you have picked a more...

Honestly, upon first fill up, due to design there is usually air trapped in the system. A search for waterfall behind the dash will bring up the immense topic of conversation this was. A lot of people advocate the raising the front to get the air out. But, with a properly functioning cooling...

This is the 1JZ Swap bible. It's a collection of a information pertaining to the swap. It's not a hand holding guide to the swap, so you'll have to sift through for the info you need, but it should help. I picked this up from azsupracenteral.com, though I'm not sure who originally created it...

This poor zombie of a thread got a shiny new name. :: zombie :: Good for you bud. Whatever hookup you got at Toyota, take care of it. Most dealers won't go anywhere near that price.

Wow, yeah that's no good. Driftmotion has them new for $53 which is a pretty good price. http://www.driftmotion.com/7M-GTE-Stock-Accordian-Hose-p/dm1567.htm

Honestly not much you can do with them.

Corky Bell confirms this in Maximum Boost. But not so much because of the longer pipes(Bar and Plate channels). The second intercooler experiences lower pressure loss due to a greater internal flow area. There are a higher number of channels for the pressurized air to pass through. If you get...

Ah, ok. When you said Speedo Assy. The actual speedometer assembly from the gauge cluster is what popped into my head.

Changing speedos won't make a difference, as most toyota speedos calculate speed based on 1026revs=1mile. So speedos from all years read the same unless they have worn out and are out of calibration. Which is a different story. Also speaking of the speedo gears in the transmission. There are two...

You would be correct. The proper RPM for a 91 turbo with an R154 is 2272RPM's at 60MPH. A couple of questions. How are you measuring MPH? Where did you get the R154 from? Are you running factory size tires? Are you sure that the original diff is in the car?

The first thing to check is that the Heater Water Valve Assy. is functioning. It's located on the passenger side firewall in the engine compartment, behind the ABS actuators. Check to make sure that the vacuum actuator is pulling the valve up when you switch from cold to hot. The engine needs to...

The two cars I had before the supra had GM's first gen ABS system. Both felt like they were grinding rocks under the brake pedal if you dug into the ABS. And preformed about as such. Comparatively, when I got the MKIII the ABS system was light years beyond GM's. In both performance and the...

No not good, but there is a little hope. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?187668-Tokico-is-Back!

You want to create the package that creates buzz with the widest audience. Unfortunately that means automatic. But if it ever makes it to production I'd have to imagine a manual would be a high probability. Maybe even a manual mated to a turbo I6 from that BMW, Toyota joint venture we've been...

Get you CEL hooked up and pull any codes.

The MKIII uses resistance based circuits to operate various lighting functions. Most generic HID kits are only designed to sense if a particular high/low beam circuit is active and operate the HID accordingly. They are not designed to be an active part of the circuit as required by the MKIII.

I can corroborate this statement. While hunting down an oil leak on the factory turbo hard line I had the turbo on and off several times between drives, I got very efficient at removing the turbo. Rusted bolts and and minimal knowledge on the best sequence of bolt removal will make someone much...

Here's my suggestion. This: http://www.lowes.com/pd_338387-25428-85708_4294707917__?productId=3387682&Ns=p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNs%3Dp_product_qty_sales_dollar%7C1&facetInfo= and some PB blaster. You can take off the manifold but it is far, far more work than...

The lex/550 is a far better choice than the FCD. And the ECU is capable of doing some compensation giving you very near stock drivability. What doesn't get compensated for is ignition timing. So at the higher boost levels you're running more aggressive timing tables designed for lesser boost...
