Did you even bother to read the thread? Who the hell asked anything about brand name turbo's? Who asked anything about where a turbo is from? Speaking to hear your own voice is frowned upon here on supramania. Borg makes ok turbos...but "best is a matter of personal opinion...please...

when referring to pistons it would be because there is much more heat expansion and contraction....more clearance for parts to move around on cold start which accelerates wear....good machinists can minimize this but there is a reason why very very few cars come with forged pistons if...

oil pumps really dont go bad very often....its very rare as they are a very simple design! odds are you either have a stuck piston squirter, bad guage, bad sender, bad wire, or stuck oil relieve valve, or stuck oil cooler bypass valve.

how about you just got to sipracing and order a cometic gasket kit which includes a headgasket??? rich is a great guy to deal with if you can actually get ahold of him lol

if you put in a new cam without doing shims you could actually cause a valve to stay open....if you open the clearance up too much then youll have a horrid racket coming from the head....this is also very stressful on the valve train as instead of a nice gradual opening you now have the lobe...

I think you need to step away from the supra as you have no clue what you're doing!

I'm speaking from pure ignorance on this and would like the question answered by Someone who really knows...but considering the turbo doesn't use rubber seals and in a running car a turbo never "fills" with oil with a proper feed and drain, I think this is generally what would happen in your...

I think you really should take a step back and think about this!! Rod knock (especially a quiet and in begining stages" can be fixed pretty cheap! Rod knock usually can be cured without doing a full rebuild! You have a very very rare official turbo A mkiii which WILL be a car worth alot of...

I'd pull the spark plugs one at a time and inspect them....if coolant is making it's way into a cylinder "even just a little" it will steam clean everything...the plug in the cylinder that's got a bhg will look much nicer than the rest...so if one plug has almost no carbon buildup than odds are...

Here at work we use "safety cleaner"...sold by "zurnoil"...it's a little less toxic and harder to absorb threw skin.... Kero and diesel leave alot of oil residues while safety clean dries really well...although I've noticed that it doesn't react well to some of the rubbers Toyota uses such as...

Does the car still have plenty of power or is it boosting and not pulling like it used to?

Or just toss the whole switch in an ultrasonic cleaner....I did and it worked great....although the solution got a tad too hot and bleached the buttons a bit so they lost the deep black color. I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned them damn contacts....never helped! I ended up cutting a harness...

Elbow grease and a splash of can'do attitude!

Someone doesn't like you

Remove the drivers door handle and play with the wires behind the window switch....had this problem but it was progressive and not an instant issue.

Our cars don't have a boost solenoid stock....it has the hose coming off the turbo straight to the wastegate! Come on people! The thing on the drivers side is the pressure sensor that informs the ecu overboosting.

Load leveler is a useful tool if you are by yourself but a waist of time if you have a helper.

yeah in some cases like a low ceiling its an issue....but my comment was not directed towards people with extream lack of space.

You asked the question wrong...you are going to be alone untill you ask it correctly! This forum is by far the BEST and MOST helpfull Supra forum if not general automotive forum on the net...if you don't get the answer you are looking for then odds are it's because you're asking the question...

Driftmotion's helicoil kit cost driftmotion maybe $18...they mark it up to $70...no the kit is not worth it!! Helicoils are not that expensive and I for one am not paying that kind of money when I can open up a "mc master carr" book and order the shit I need myself!
