    So true, they try to intimidate you with tough talk but when they realize its not working they turn tail and run.

    BHG - can i drive it to a mechanic??

    Yes, the heat of combustion and the lack of coolant to cool it off is part of it, but I'm pretty sure that the steam boiled out of the coolant plays a role as well. If your low on coolant, you can easily anneal your head without a blown hg. theres coolant in the cylinder head, to cool it...

    BHG - can i drive it to a mechanic??

    When you do your rebuild, have the machine shop do a hardess test on the head before machining it. If they dont know what your talking about go elsewhere. When you loose coolant like that, the cylinder head coolant passages fill with steam hot enough to cause annealing. (the metal softens and...

    Pulled over in the Supra today. Should I fight it?

    Around here, step one is appeal to a clerk magistrate, then you can appeal his decision to the judge. When your with the clerk, your excuses usually fall on deaf ears. they usually want to hear you acknowledge you did something wrong, understand why its wrong, and learned your lesson, then...

    Sad day for me and the Supra (BIG READ)

You wont even get to spend the money you get from it because your gonna get drilled with a bolt of lightning the second you sign the...

    When I had a boost leak, as it got worse, the bypass valve got quieter and quieter until you couldnt hear it.

    You keep asking for help but your not telling us the results of the tests we tell you to do. At this rate were getting nowhere! Go do the damn dry and wet compresssion test and report back already!

    Blue Smoke

    Its possible. You could be running very rich, but, i would expect the computer to dectect that. Check for trouble codes. You can also test your fuel pressure http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=FI&P=72 Either way, thats something you need to figure out, if your leaking...

    Weak ct26 wastegate spring? It wont boost.

    If the actuator rod connector broke, and or the rod isnt connected to the door anymore, then the flapper would stay open.

    Will a HKS Super Drager Exhaust be suitable for a 7M-GE?

    If I was mad at you I wouldn't have started my post with "my friend" If I was mad at you you would know it. Someone else suggested a pacesetter setup, I was simply sharing my experience to let you know I dont think its a good choice. You decided to respond by suggesting i was putting a supra...

    Will a HKS Super Drager Exhaust be suitable for a 7M-GE?

    My friend, as crisp suggested you have missunderstood my post. The pacesetter catback was made for the pickup. I'm a little offended that you would think im so stupid that i would expect an exhaust made for a supra to bolt up to a pickup. And i dont know what you consider "exhaust maitenance"...

    Weak ct26 wastegate spring? It wont boost.

    Sounds like your actuator is working properly. Make sure that the actuator is connected to the wastegate door properly. If it isnt the flapper could be open and your actuator isnt actuating anything. Unfortunately you'd have to take off the turbo elbow to check this completely.

    Weak ct26 wastegate spring? It wont boost.

    +1 If you passed the boost leak test, you can test the actuator buy hooking a bicycle pump with a gauge to it and watching when the arm starts to move. it should start to move at 7-9 PSI unless its shimmed in which case it would be higher

    Will a HKS Super Drager Exhaust be suitable for a 7M-GE?

    My friends toyota pickup has a pacesetter catback on it. it didnt fit well at all, and needed welding work within the first year. now (3 years after purchase) its internally rotted out, really sounds lousy, and he asks me to weld up holes and cracks every other month.
