    1JZGTE favor

    If it's a soarer 1JZ you will have extra wires left on the body harness near the fuse box. Look at the wiring diagrams for your year (the 89+ are different). I found them online, but I don't remember where. Most of the ones online are for the 89+. Follow the wires you have there and see what...

    getting coolant into my charge pipes and into my intercooler?????

    There's no coolant seal in the turbo. The coolant cavity doesn't come in direct contact with the shaft or rotating parts in the turbo. Maybe if the center housing was cracked it could leak coolant from the CHRA to the charge pipes, but that's a long shot. My vote is for a coolant hose being...

    Clutch/Clutch master cylinder/slave cylinder problems. HALP.

    Bleeding a clutch is just like bleeding brakes, except the pedal won't come up by itself when you first start bleeding the system (you have to reach down and pull it up by hand). Two people make it an easy job.

    why walbro?

    http://www.manta.com/c/mtgn3sk/high-flow-fuel-systems-inc They probably are just china made knockoffs of a stock MKIV pump, because a company with 2 employees probably isn't making their own pumps. Maybe they aren't junk, but your guess is as good as mine. I think the reason people use Walbro...

    Jdm r-154 vs usdm r-154

    If it's a jdm one with an extended shifter then it's not from a supra, it's from another toyota. You'll need to swap the shifter housing with the one for a supra. If you have a broken USDM R154 it will swap over from that. As far as the ABS sensor issue, I don't know of a solution other than...

    Egr?

    I haven't bought them for the supra, but I did an EGR block-off years ago on my eclipse and I can honestly say I felt no power difference, and I had problems with part throttle knock afterwards. I hooked it back up. The EGR is closed under boost and WOT anyway. The only time it's open is part...

    White smoke

    Yeah they end up leaking oil on the turbine side really bad. It's not going through the engine so it doesn't always end up burning and turning blue like normal oil smoke. If you're losing coolant it could just be a simple coolant hose around the turbos. You won't see the leak easily cause the...

    Blow Off Valve will not go off Help!

    You would be wrong. My knockoff bov didn't even work out of the box. It's not an HKS though, it's a greddy type-s knock off. I had to take it apart and machine major internal parts that they copied wrong, and then a month later I needed to put a real greddy diaphragm in it. Five years later it...

    zombie supra or bringing the dead back to life.

    With the diff leak you just need to get some seals from the dealer. They're not expensive, I think they were only $10 or 15 each. I bought them to fix a leak on mine and then it stopped leaking, so I haven't done them yet. (Yes, it's full. No, it didn't stop leaking cause it's empty.)

    Car is running lean as fuck.

    Add crisco to the gas tank, it will put on the pounds like rosie odonnel at a cupcake convention. No more lean.

    zombie supra or bringing the dead back to life.

    If you plan on driving it before you start tearing it down to restore, at least wash and detail it, and pull the trim off to get the dirt out from behind it. The lower side trim comes off pretty easily. The same with the front fender liners, they trap a ton of dirt. Get a power washer and blast...

    gas tank drain plug?

    Buy a pair of chemical gloves and stick the plug back in when you fill a gas can up. Use a few 5 gallon gas cans and a funnel, or maybe buy a few of those 5 gallon oil change pans that have a closed top and a built in funnel. You'll still make a mess. The gas just pours out so fast.

    Winter's coming, where can I learn to tame my supra?

    I found a nice empty paring lot to do this in once. It was actually where I worked, in a private lot, and I even asked my boss if it was OK first. So of course as soon as I pull out of the lot to go home some bastard cop immediately pulls me over and gives me a $400 fine for disturbing the...

    What drugs/head injury prompted your Username?

    I used to break all my toys when I was a kid, and kept breaking stuff when I got into my teens. I still break stuff alot. I don't abuse things, I just use things to their limit, and sometimes past their limit. Maybe this is why I have a W58 in my car, lol. I started using this name as my...

    traction control throttle body for 2jzge swap

    That's the traction control (the first plate in the front). You will need to eliminate it if you want to run that on 7M electronics. The actual throttle plate is behind that first flap and should work fine once that first one is removed. The first plate normally opens all the way up and stays...

    gas tank drain plug?

    I'd do IJ's method. The drain plug works fine but is messy.
