    Stupid Question (1jz no start)

    ok so I cranked the engine and still noting. pulled the No.1 spark plug and it was coated in fuel. I verified that the No.1 piston is at tdc when the crank is at 0*. Then I plugged the spark plug into the coil and I can still see it sparking! is it possible when retiming this engine to have...

    Stupid Question (1jz no start)

    No I have not. I was About to but then I got to thinking and it really makes no sense that it wouldn't be at tdc when the crank is at 0 degrees. In like an hour I'll just check for kicks a giggles tough.

    Poly bushing question

    hmm...I'm surprised to hear so many people have had trouble unbolting the arms. my body has over 230k miles and I just stuck a ratchet on there then basically stood on it. The bolts came right off. this is probably because the car has lived in the desert all its life and doesn't have a single...

    Why so black? [Pics]

    coolant would sink to the bottom so if it's as black as he says I'm sure what we see there is a reflection. if that much coolant was mixed in it should be all milky.

    Why so black? [Pics]

    It would help if you explained the smoke more. really white, or blueish white? when does it happen? at idle? when its cold? once its warmed up? during boost? after boost? on deceleration? how much smoke? be as specific as possible or probably better post a video.

    Stupid Question (1jz no start)

    I did check that the wires are intact and its plugged in. I suppose I could test the sensor just to make sure, but I doubt that's it. My multimeter is at school so I'll try to borrow one to poke around in there. In the meantime any other suggestions?

    Stupid Question (1jz no start)

    FIXED!!! ok this is the stupidest crap ever and I have no idea what was wrong with it. all I did was pull off my ic piping and sprayed a crap load of starting fluid in the mani. I cranked the engine and it started up really poorly (misfiring and stumbling really rough). so I hit the gas...

    Opinions on Reverse clip turbine

    by reverse clipping you just mean that the turbine is a lot smaller then the compressor? I always thought it was the other way around. a big turbine with a small compressor made faster spool. I definitely could be wrong though. why don't you talk to your builder about it, I'm sure he knows...

    wheel hub problem (video)

    Poly bushings - Ronnie K RK versus Energy Suspension

    I cannot speak for the Ronnie K but I put on the Energy suspension this past summer and I'm very happy with them. it makes a noticeable difference even on the stock suspension. just my opinion but u hope it helps.

    Anyone seen z31 style headlights on a supra?

    well sorta my idea was to just do thin headlight, sorta like on the cherry widebody, so they just wouldn't have to pop up. rather then having half the light covered. I just feel like the front of my car looks kinda empty.

    Going to E85 and have questions about fuel lines and pump wiring.

    ya I hope this is a typo because this would mean no fuel pressure. The car shouldn't run this way at all. Pressure builds up everywhere between the pump and the fpr so the fpr should be in the return line after the fuel rail.

    Anyone seen z31 style headlights on a supra?

    I personally really like the look of the z31 headlights and was hoping to find somebody who did a similar set up on a supra. I couldn't find anything though. so does anybody know if its been done?
