    running no egr question

    we have come full circle! :D I am still trying to figure out how the "block EGR" was ever a good idea. Though I would not use the OEM setup if attempting to do what the company, Mahle, describes. That would require a bigger "pipe" than OEM for sure.

    running no egr question

    well I will adress this as jdub has not :) EGR in all actuallity helps in increasing gas mileage when the tune accounts for it. Honda knows this so much so that they tend to run 30% egr at light throttle to do a couple of things. 1. Detonation supresession 2. Decrease pumping...

    a/c troubleshooting, a/c tech screwed me

    650 grams of R-134a is the updated qty that Toyota released in the TSRB for retrofitting the supra. not 651 grams or 649 grams.

    damn this wire! (HELP!)

    That looks like a solid white wire (that is yellow due to age). If that is the wire I am thinking of, that is a Positive wire.

    damn this wire! (HELP!)

    umm no. again I have zero access to photobucket. What Jetjock means is if you ground it (ie connect it to the chassis or the negative terminal of the battery, which are the SAME polarity). you will pop something. Can you attach that picture here?

    Turbo Size psi/volume

    Say what? What physics/chemistry class where you paying attention to? Mass does not change. Mass is constant for a given element/chemical (come on this is basics physics!). 1mole of N2 (28.012 Mass Units) + O2 (31.998 Mass Units) is the same wether it is measured here, on planet earth, the...

    crank pulley question..

    and for clarification that is 500 hp SUSTAINED. Meaning like going around the Daytona Super Speedway at 500 hp (8000+ rpm) like Nascar race cars do. The dampers can go higher than that power wise but then it needs frequent inspections.

    crank pulley question..

    I am jumping more on here in support to what jdub stated. BigAaron. The ATI marketing is no more than almost a copy and paste of what Dinan motorworks has stated numerous times. There is even an Article by Toyota Research and Development on the very topic...

    Air conditioner electrical troubleshooting ?

    That 10amp fuse is fed from the 40 amp C.B that is in the drivers kick panel as seen here (the wire labled L-O = Blue/Orange Stripe). http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TEWD/MK3/manual.aspx?S=Main&P=140 notice the two other fuses 20 amp Dome & 7.5 amp Gauge fuses. Those are the...

    what has figgie been so mum about???

    still trying to decipher what it does. Specifically, (I have not tested it yet) but not sure if it is a digital or analog. If it is digital, how to get a zero out when driving straight. Also how to det if the steering is being turned clockwise or counter clockwise. That is going to be a...

    TEMS System Components.

    Nope not mistaken. As for proof. No can do! I have a main electrical harness pulled form the car but it is a complete rats nest due to my project (ie all taping that toyota used is gone). Like I said. The option lies on you to do. Pull the Front wheel well panel (passenger side). It is...

    what has figgie been so mum about???

    minor update here is the AC system circuit and front windshield wiper&washer circuit isolated from the harness. This is not it's final form but the tie wraps are used to give me an idea of where to split the harness. On the AC-Circiuit side. you will see lots of pins. Those are...

    does e-brake ever let loose?

    here is the problem you are hoping that the gear reduction causes the motor to not be able to turn while parked. A very risky proposition when you calc the weight of the supra.

    Modifying things for army navy fittings

    just to be PERFECTLY clear. AN fitting and hose are a REPLACEABLE item. Unlike the OEM parts like oil drain and oil feed to the turbo which are hardlines and ones installed are forget.

    TEMS System Components.

    actually no. All supras are wired for them. toyota just tapes them out of the way, you would have to dig for them under the front quater panels.

    Modifying things for army navy fittings

    check ebay. Specifically NASCAR used parts. I picked up a Mocal oil cooler for 60 bux ;) Has -10AN fittings for connections. You will find Setrab and a slew of other companies. Why Nascar? Because they use AN fittings for EVERY FLUID hose.
