Any axial play is not acceptable. A small amount of radial play is ok. Also if the turbo hasn't been in a running car for a few months it will get a bit more radial play that will go away once it gets a good oil supply.

That's pretty sad, but I must admit I've seen much worse. Looks like a stock N/A too, heh. If I'm reading that right he claims to have transplanted a MK4 dash into his MK3. The interior pic is blurry and dark but the dash is clearly not stock.

91-92 got a subwoofer option. Extremely rare and I've never seen it. Supposedly it's dual 6.5" or 8" in a box in the hatch. It's called the 10 speaker system, while the regular 91-92's got the 8 speaker system.

And technically you could get the Lexus electronics that are the same as your own. Some Lexus got the 10, some got the 11. 86.5-early 89 got the 10, late 89-92 got the 11. If the part numbers match, the Lexus AFM electronics will work because it's the same as the Supra AFM electronics.

The electronics definitely matter, sometimes. I can 100% vouch for that. Some cars can run the "10" or "11", others run poor with the opposing AFM. From what I've noticed the late 89-92's are less likely to run with a 10, and the 86.5-early 89's will likely run with 10 or 11. I myself...

The nice thing I liked about the 3923's is I could find them anywhere anytime. Even Walmart has them. The NGK's I like are never in stock in town.

Strange again, mine had no threaded plug. The sensor itself was 1/8npt. Speaking of intake temp sensor, I've seen some of the DSM guys not even use it. They just plug it in and leave it dangling in the engine bay.

Looks nice.

The best thing for street tires is just a quick high RPM clutch dump to shake the dirt and crud off the tires. No need for a long smokey burnout.

Go onto supraforums, search for "VPC install". Somewhere you'll find instructions. I've also seen instructions on someones website, Larry Anderson or Alan Jordan maybe, neither of which I have links to anymore.

I've seen very bad things from Venom. When I used to work for Alamo Motorsports we had major problems with returns to that company, so bad that we stopped carrying the Venom brand. The injectors leaked, didn't flow what they were supposed to, or froze open or shut. Not worth the money you...

Yup, can still buy the VPC harness brand new, 86.5-88 or 89-92. My harness was also hacked up, but I've already started to repair it. You must install a certain resistor in the harness for the VPC to work properly. It's application specific, so HKS just built it into the VPC ECU harness...

I've been reading up on the Cometic and it seems people are split as to its performance. How is yours holding up IJ?

Looks right. Strange your intake air temp sensor looks to be a much smaller thread then mine was. Personally I think the money HKS wants for the VPC ECU harness is worth every penny. It allows you to tap into the HKS harness instead of tapping into your stock wiring harness. Second you...

AFAIK the external amps came around 1990. It's a pretty weak amp, somewhere in the 15-20watt per channel range. I've heard it doesn't work well with aftermarket decks, I myself removed the stock radio and amp a couple days after I bought the car so I couldn't say with certainty. If your...

I'd just like to add my own years of experience to this dead thread in regards to the copper coat. I've seen a guy reuse his MHG with copper spray 3 times, put 30,000+ miles on the car, and never had the block or head cleaned. You can't find any evidence of any copper spray anywhere in his...

It might harm the turbo if you ran ~7psi for a while, short term use wouldn't hurt it. You wouldn't blow hoses any more or less then if the BPV was/wasn't functioning. Vacuum pressure basically tells the BPV to open the connection between the two large hoses, thus venting excess pressure...

Nothing really special, just use it to replace the stock AFM body. Use your electronics or you can try the Lexus one. You'll have to stretch and/or lubricate the stock accordian hose to make it slip over. What ever you're using for an air filter should work with the Lexus AFM.

I'm pretty sure they look identical. You'd need to put a caliper on them.
