    code 14 ... haha :(

    I second checking the CPS connection. I had similar issues and a few intermittant code 14s and got stranded in an intersection. It turned out the harness side of the CPS connection had a couple of very fatigued wires, one of them failed at the intersection. If that is what your problem is you...

    Can't Remove Strut Center Nut(pics)

    IIRC, the little "D" hole strips pretty easily.

    550s

    You're thinking narrow band O2 monitoring. EGT (exhaust gas temperature) monitoring involves a thermal probe in the exhaust stream and an analog guage.

    550s

    You forgot to mention A/F ratio monitoring. Add a wideband O2 setup to that list. An EGT guage can be used as well but the probe needs to be mounted pre-turbo and the response time is much slower than a wideband. Good luck. :icon_surp

    hi im new

    Welcome! Yes the W58 (n/a trans) will bolt up to the 7MGTE(U). I don't have any direct experience with the N/A to Turbo swap but many many people have done it and there is plenty of great documentation on it. You can use the search feature here and I would also highly recommend 4cefed.com...

    Iam new..and have a question...

    Boost leaks are actually very hard to "see" and if you have stock IC plumbing it's very likely you have at least one leak and likely multiple leakers. There are so many weak areas in the stock pipes it's not even funny...well I guess it could be depending on your perspective. And yeah, if...

    heater hose question

    Coolant doesn't flow into the radiator until the thermostat opens but coolant flows through the heater core as soon as the pump is spinning and the valve is open. Maybe the valve is stuck open as well.

    Please Help

    I would think your throttle is stuck open for some reason.

    550s

    Actually, the lex afm has mostly been used in conjunction with an upgraded ct26 or larger turbo PLUS 550s and usually something like an S-AFC. Even with a stock turbo you can ruin your engine pretty easily with a lex. You can get some decent gains with a stock ct/440s/lex afm but you should...

    How much have you spent on your supra this year?

    I'm up this year. The Supe has been in the garage and the premium in the tank has ballooned in value.:) ( :umno: )

    '88 bumper conversion

    I think you'll need the bumper cover, grille (or grill:icon_conf ), and turn signals. Good choice BTW :D

    Having a catch can on the hot side of the engine?

    Do you mean a line filter for compressed air systems? Hmmm....they trap very small particles, oil, and water. They don't cost too much either. ...and yes, you should try to put the catch can in a cooler place than just behind the exhaust manifold. There needs to be a decent temperature...

    To blow off or not blow off?

    Hey, you never know. I had to make sure. ;) I used a Greddy type S for a week and yeah, it always had some flutter.

    Camp fire noise...

    Well, the noise sounds like it might be coolant in the turbo boiling after shutdown. I don't know about the smell though.

    Coolant Leak

    It's quite a PITA but you have to replace at least one of the hoses under the intake manifold. I would recommend pulling the upper intake manifold OR isolating and replacing the broken hose(s) from below and above. You can lay under the car to get a look and then work from above blind (a...

    Camp fire noise...

    Is it just momentary right after you shut down or something you can hear even after stepping out of the car and opening the hood?

    From 15w50 To 10W30 Oil Question

    I think oil tech has progressed a tad since the 80s. ::dead horse::

    To blow off or not blow off?

    I hope you're joking. Compressor surge is not a good thing. I have a ct26 with massive radial and axial play caused by comp surge to prove it (not to mention leaky seals). Sure, it kind of sounds cool but it isn't good :aigo: If you're getting some comp surge then you BOV is probably...

    To blow off or not blow off?

    The benefit of venting to atmo with a stock AFM is purely superficial (to make more noise). If you don't mind stalling out and fouling spark plugs then go for it.
