Thank you for this response. A buddy of mine and I have been arguing over this subject for a few months now. This explains it all in good detail. Thanks.

Nevermind guys. I used a block tester and I do have a blown head gasket. Thanks for the help.

Uhh...you can hear it.

No. Like I said i just got the car and all I know about the history of it is the guy I got the car from said the guy he got it from said he thought the timing was way out. So i'm kinda working in the dark as to what has already been done to the car. Whatever has been done was all done backyard...

I checked compression on all cylinders and the lowest was 130 and the highest was 156 on a dry engine that hasn't been started for a couple years. There is no oil in the water or water in the oil. There is nothing pointing toward the head gasket that I can see. But the thought did still cross my...

hey guys, i'm completely new to turbos. I just got this car running and it seems to get hot very quickly, in around 3 minutes under hood temp is very hot. The temp guage says it is fine. I don't have a thermostat in the car right now so it is free flowing. I know turbo underhood temps are higher...

Haha yeah I snatched them all out trying to find a good fuel pump to get the turbo going. All of them were rusted and varnished up so i had to buy a new one. Anybody know a good deal on fuel pumps?

Doubt it. I heard sugar would crystalize into little rock like things. This was just a really thick goo.

Here's the pics

I can't get it running at anything above those rpm. I touch the throttle and it bogs out and stalls. And if i don't touch the throttle it'll only run for about 10 secs. I also took compression readings tonight just to be safe. I've got #1 - 132 #2 - 148 #3 - 142 #4 - 146 #5 - 157 #6 - 130...

I never did. All i did was turn it. I just got the car and the CPS bolt was already loose.

I'm a new supra owner and the turbo i got had been sitting up for a few years and had about 3/4 inch of nasty really thick goo and rust on the inside of the fuel tank. I replaced the tank out of a parts car and got a new fuel pump. And i am still having problems getting the car running. I turn...

Haha, thats what my dad is callin it. I don't have enough room at my place to store them all so i'm keeping them there. Hopefully i'll have pics tomorrow.

I paid 3k for the whole lot. The cars are all fairly cosmetically sound. All desperately need paint except for the 89 but very few small dents, and no rust that i can see, they just need the interiors redone. Oh..forgot to say in the first post that the turbo and 89 are both targas. As soon as I...

New supra owner here. I was looking in a local car trading magazine for a cheap car decent on gas until I saw an ad for 4 MK3s all for sale by one owner. So me being the car guy I am couldn't pass up a deal, so here I am! I've got 2 87s with the 7M-GE, 1 87 with the 7M-GTE, and an 89 with a...
