    1jz 480 HP 461 TQ

    Silly question, but wouldn't you want the oil feed line to be at 12:00 as opposed to "almost" 1:00? Im not heavy on turbo knowledge (self-edumacation occurring over a long period of time.. lol), but everytime I see that, I wonder. Nice numbers btw. You Americans with your high octane pump gas.. :)

    Clutch Pedal Sticking Towards End of Return

    Mine only did this right before it started leaking (interior side). If your not losing fluid, I'm not sure what would cause it.

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    Thank you Rodel, I just had my valve covers/intake powder coated with the car color (Toyota Magnetic Metallic grey), thinking of doing same for the chrome portion. Was going to go black but though it would set the wheels off with the polished barrels still standing out

    88 Blue Turbo restoration/upgrade story

    I have a set of RC 550 PL8's that I bought off Rodel for sale. They are indeed low impedance, and I had th flow tested about 2000 km ago. I may also have the pigtails. Went with ID1000's on my car. Pm me if interested. RCTS installed, tested, uninstalled for me, so they are in like new...

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    Hoping some of those who know can answer this question... I have Work Seekers (disco'd wheels in about 2004) and they have chrome insets on a polished barrel. (3 piece) My rear wheel is off center slightly so I am going to get the wheels reconditioned. What I am wondering is, can I...

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    Curious why you want to run with that offset. Super deal on rims? my 18x9.5 rears have a +38 offset and they are right on the cusp of being too far out on the fender. If I hit a really big dip at high speed, the edge of my quarter fender will touch the outside lip of my tire. (not what I...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    I don't know about normal, but next time kick down to fourth. Simply because you like your car and that is probably the hardest on it. Sounds like you spiked, but if you have an electronic boost controller it can cut your boost if you spike.

    Perhaps he overheard you talking to a Honda guy about "the big dogs"

    Anyone ever used this place for a rebuilt R154?

    Will do, I made sure that the shop takes lots of pics before throwing it back on as well. It went up with 2 V160's so it may not be back for a couple more weeks. Shared shipping saved me a bit.

    Anyone ever used this place for a rebuilt R154?

    Will let you know, it should arrive back soon. Hopefully car will be done soon. Won't be able to test it if the snow stays though

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    My kids laugh at me because I stand in front of my cars doing nothing. They ask me what I'm up to, and I just say"looking for a tool I can't find". 5 times out of 10 I will spot it. Just done it too many times in the past.

    Twin Disc Spec clutch info and feedback needed

    Can't comment on twin disk, but I will say, if my clutch proves to be insufficient for the task, the next will be OS Geiken. I will be tuned and dyno'd by then so I will have the one that matched the power. As with all mods, you usually have to modify parts of the entire system to accept the...

    Twin Disc Spec clutch info and feedback needed

    I run the Spec 2+ clutch. Running under 400 rwhp it held nicely with no slippage. No other issues at all except for an annoying shudder downshifting into second and first. Also once it heats up I get a shudder going into first (starting out in stop-go traffic). A bit annoying, but after 3000...

    Stock Dual Fans MKIII Supra

    Just in case anyone sees this and doesn't read it completely... the "fix" this Camry applies to only works properly on a 89+ hood (the hole sizes are different for pre-89).

    That script comes on the upper IC pipe. Kinda would be nice if they would actually rejig that pipe so it was actually usable. Wouldn't take much

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    I have the "new" DM 7m intercooler. It is a CX UNIT. Tossed the upper pipe in the trash for being very poorly designed, used a hks 3000 pipe replacement with a custom pipe to the fender. Other than that it seems fine

    The Small Questions Thread

    The problem with a Supra is that its 25'ish years old. You can't expect to drive it without doing a few repairs and in general they aren't quick or cheap. That's why most people will have a daily driver that ISNT a Supra. Then your not relying on an old car to get you where you need to go. I...

    The Small Questions Thread

    You need another car... Go find one for 500 bucks and save yourself a few thousand dollars if you plan on keeping your Supra. 6k miles on a bhg from the time you noticed is killing your block and I find it hard to believe there is none in the oil if its pushing it out the overflow... The...
