Sorry to hear it. I know the feeling, my car has been up on blocks for awhile now. (Since the end of September when it did not make it to Vegas, I've lost intrest in this thing for the moment.) If you do for some reason decide to put another motor into the Supra, or buy another car, I...

That looks like hydrolock. Did you get water in there, or what?

Just because the stock rods have held up to 800hp a few times, does not mean they will do this over a long time. (And I'm sure those "stock" rods did not have stock bolts anymore either...) Rev them to 7k and they will explode at those power levels. Last thing to fail on my engine will be...

? Do some research on your Aluminum rods please!!! :) They are light. They are strong. They fail if you run them longer than a few moments compared to "normal" car engines! (Ok, l would be very impressed if you get 50,000 miles out of an engine using Aluminum rods from anyone.) Aluminum...

Ok, short version. 1) He is 100 % at fault for this loss. 2) His insurance company, for NAPA and their driver will pay for the loss. 3) You were injured, and have what is called a BI claim. (Bodily Injury.) 4) Your car might be repairable if you press them the right way, or if not, you...

I've owned both the MK2 and MK3 version of the Supra. My 82 had Tokicko adjustable dampers, stock springs, and sway bars, and it handled very well setup that way. IIRC, I replaced some of the bushings with urethane ones on the sway bars too. (End links...) Ok, it was great unless you hit...

Caretaker, you need to look at your fuel control options and ditch the Lexus meter if you can. I reccomend the Maft Pro. (No AFM at all, boost control and fuel control with timing control and monitoring all for under 700.00 not counting any tune time on a dyno.) Changes the TCCS over to a...

This is the "stock" e-Bay version. It will not fit any larger turbo without a series of mods, or an adapter plate/mount. If you want to run the 50mm WG, you will need to modify that mount as well.

I'd guess somewhere in the 1500f range... :) That engine appears to be on a testing dyno. (Not uncommon that engines are tested up to the limits of the parts, and for hours/days etc they are run at WOT under load as well.) Imagine running the 7MGTE for a week straight at full throttle...

Let's see, just turned 40, and I've been running on 4 to 5 hours of sleep for about the past 20 or so years. Actually more. I've actually found that if I try and sleep more than about 5 hours, I wake up more tired than if I only get 4 hours. Strange, but true. I've worked days, nights...

Thanks man! I'll post some current photos when it's all done. (New and improved if you can belive it :) And running the Maft Pro if all goes right.

RX7 turboII engines used a thermostat equipped oil cooler. I have mine tig welded at the mounting brackets to the end tanks on my FMIC. (Very little surface area actually touches between the two, and it's lined up perfectly so the upper grille air flow goes over the oil cooler and the lower...

Brings back memories. I was sitting at my desk one afternoon in central Washington, and it was a very windy day. (Normally very windy there, but it was really windy that day...) Anyhow, I looked up to what appeared to be a huge herd of cows rolling across the field infront of me.. turns out...

If I could find a flowbee, I'd buy one. I have had my hair at 3/4" for about 10+ years now, and have saved thousands of bucks on hair cuts. (I've burned up two electric hair trimmers in the process, so that's like 60.00 in clippers at this point v/s 10.00 every month, or about 120.00 per year.)...

I miss mace.

Great gas mileage. Good power and I think they are reliable. Buy a Audi with the 1.8 or now 2.0 turbo. (A3 or A4.) If you really want great fuel economy, get the VW version with the TDI diesel in there. (how's 50mpg strike you on the highway?)

I think it's the guys who are nearly 40 who have the Supra's down for the longest times.. (We are the crazy ones trying to make them faster than they should be in theory... LOL)

I've looked into the licenses required, and spending upwards of 2000.00 to get them, and then purchase just ONE suppressor is a pretty minimal estimate. Want fully auto weapons? I can get that license here in Idaho, but again, it's about 2k, and then the weapons are 10k or more! Yep, figure...

There are a few VR4's running around with upgraded turbo's on them. Mitsubishi even made the larger turbo's a bolt on affair, with few other mods besides larger down pipes and exhaust tubing size. The intake side really benefits from using a Maft, or Maft Pro, as they also used a Karmann wave...

I used to work with a Lesbian lady who's "partner" was also not the hottest thing on the planet, but neither of them would shrivel up most men's cocks too badly... Anyway, they both are intollerable to be around when not at work. I swear it is like they get off on grossing out everyone...
