    Power steering reservoir

    I used my stock one, built two brackets out of simple metal strap with the holes in it. I mounted it between strut tower and canister, perhaps not real pretty, but functional.

    throwout bearing?

    Yeah mine is a little noisy in that condition also... not sure what you are running, I have the Stage 3 Action 6 puck setup from DM, seems normal for those to be a little noisy while engaged and in neutral.. not sure but I do know that others I have spoken to that are running something other...

    Tune or No Tune??? Help!!!

    Yes and no, if you are still running a stock pump, it will most likely not keep up with the 550 injectors, therefore it may run rich initially, but as you work up into the higher RPMs at WOT, I would think there is a risk of running lean. Bottom line is that if you are not running a WB sensor...

    throwout bearing?

    Perhaps re-explain when it does and when it does not make any noise, I got a little lost in the translation... FYI, IMO better to use terms like - "clutch engaged/disengaged" or "clutch pedal in/out" Also it is not clear when you say when letting go of clutch, so does it only make the noise...

    Importance of turbocharger "stay" bracket under CT-26

    ^^ Similar issue with mine, when purchased, it was missing the top bracket and 3 of the studs holes for EM were stripped (now all re-done with new inserts) Either-way I ended up making one from some flat stock I had laying around...

    Just these cars.

    I completely agree, yet perhaps the thick skin should not have to be utilized so heavily on a site that supports the maintaining, the restoration and the resurrection of the Supra... No matter how much time and money one wants to put into it... You are right again - but then again why are we...

    Things to change while the motor is OUT of the car.

    By the way, in regards to coolant hoses, the smaller ones that route through the throttle body and ISC valve I had to buy from Toyota. If you do not have a dealer that offers decent pricing, I used this site to buy any OEM items I needed. http://www.toyotapartszone.com/ On their site you can...

    Things to change while the motor is OUT of the car.

    Make sure that you get at minimum the following gaskets from Toyota (IMO of course) - EGR Cooler Plate Turbo flange to EM EM Gasket Front, Rear and Cam Seals Don't go cheap on Valve Stem Seals Make sure you do not use a gasket on the oil pan even if one comes in the kit, use the Toyota Seal...

    Hunting Idle

    OOPS! In reference to the 3vdc.. I was mistaking my memory of doing the Igniter test with the ISC... ISC as I am sure you read in link from Hvyman uses 12vdc battery voltage... Sorry my mistake...

    Hunting Idle

    ^^ ^^ I second the motion of ISC as 1st place culprit 2nd choice - I would look, assuming as you said no vac leaks found, is to make sure the TPS is set correctly, I do not think it would cause that drastic of a idle hunt, as I know the ISC does, but if it is not sending signal to ECU that I...

    my build is at a standstill! Help!!

    How about just getting an adapter - http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php?catalog=104&partnum=CP7573&a=FR104-CP7573-737937 The last item listed in the bag of 5 is a (1)1/8 - 28 BSP to 1/8" NPT, probably want to verify that it is the right direction, but I bought this same (or...

    No VF signal during operating or Idle.

    Of course sometimes we have to look at what our time is worth... At my billing rate for my business, I could pay for the harness in 10 hours, so as soon as I spend 10 hours dickin around with an old harness that has numerous issues, plus is 22 years old, depending on what part of the country it...

    No VF signal during operating or Idle.

    I went to look at your profile to see what year you have, as the ECU and harness are different for different years... but I see you are an upgraded MarkII, which I am sure I saw you Tacoma back in November as Sonic did I not? Nice setup by the way... anyway I need to know what year harness and...
