    Gearing vs turbo

    Having a smaller gear will put more load on the car and turbos love load. The gears you have now were over revving your powerband. Putting a higher gear numerically will not always make you faster as most people believe. The best example I can think of is the crown vic cop cars. They have the...

    Ebay t70 turbo question

    This question does not pertain to a supra but you guys are very knowledgeable about turbos and the place I usually post about my nova doesnt answer my turbo questions. I want to twin turbo my big block 496. I was looking and saw the t70 turbos on ebay and thought that was a good deal. Is anyone...

    front axle hub

    I pulled the front axle hub off my car to check for a noise that was coming from there. It turns out the person who did this before me warped the nut badly and crushed a lot of the threads on the bolt in the hub. Does anyone know where to get a new hub? I pulled some parts off a Na supra in a...

    HKS Dragger question.

    The guy I bought my supra from tried to put a tanabe 3.5" system on mine because he had it left over.He said it didnt fit so he ran 3'' back to the rear suspension then expanded it to 3.5" to the rear. He never told why exactly it never fit.

    Not a big fan of NOS but still thought id ask

    you can run a nitrous rpm window switch and a full throtle saftey swith to come on after idle and turn off after your boost hits. It will only doo this under full throtle so you wont accidently use it.

    turbo leaking

    I was looking around 935 and I saw there street ct26 upgrade. It has a smaller compressor wheel so it will boost faster. that seems to be the opposite way that everyone is going. would that be better for a 400whp ride then a 60-1. I will keep it at 10psi and run a dual stage bc to 17 when i get...

    Drag radials or slicks?

    Im new to the supra world but built some cars to go down the track. ive heard the traction arms bend the first time you get good traction. the next part I would think would be the U joints as those things are tiny as well.I ve herd the axles can hold up pretty well but the torsen gives out if it...

    Drag radials or slicks?

    drag radials are easier to control at speeds then bias ply slicks so if you have never used them Its a good start. If your running on a real trck that uses the vht you will start breaking things on either the dr or the slick so just be careful.

    turbo leaking

    I was going to buy a ddp but I guess that will wait a while. I might as well buy an upgraded turbo while im at it.Yes, it only really smokes under boost so I stay out of boost now. The leak is at the elbow so I was getting the ddp to fix that and get some power.I will pull the hose and check the...

    turbo leaking

    Whats a way to check if the turbo oil seal has blown out? I heard you can take the lower ic pipe off and see if oil comes out. I did this and about a 1/4 quart of oil came out. Is this the turbo or a bad pcv system. It also has an exhaust leak by the turbo and it blows all the smoke inside the...
