    Leaking EGR Cooler plate

    I've had an exhaust leak sound that started about a month ago. Finally found the leak. I can feel high pressure air spitting out from behind the cylinder head and it's obvious now that the gasket between egr cooler plate and the cyl head failed. My question is, can I remove the plate...

    How about Jacksonville peeps?

    Not far from stock, my 87t. Mods are: Blitz Nur-Spec cat-back, 3" DP, 3" Test Pipe, K&N Fpik cone (rest of intake is stock), 2.0mm Metal HG, ARP Headbolts, CT-26 upgraded w/ Garrett guts 60-1P trim. Fuel system is stock so I'm not taking full advantage of this turbo. List your mods...

    Supra falls on its face under boost...help

    My exhaust is 3" w/ a 3" dp. The intake is just a K&N Fpik cone. The rest of the intake is stock. Maybe I'm just not used to the sound of the upgraded turbo I have now. But after I first installed the turbo, it wasn't this noisy. Like you said, like a food processor. It's making that...

    setting timing on 7mgte - help....

    I just corrected the timing on my 87t motor with a timing light. Now the crank pulley mark is hovering right on the 10 degree mark. I saw this page in the TSRM telling to further check/set timing: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=IG&Page=20 Can...

    How about Jacksonville peeps?

    Hey. I'm in Lake City, about an hour west near I-10/I-75. I have a white 87 turbo targa that's having running rich problems or something right now. Not quite sure. I'm hoping I run into someone who can tune decent soon. Matt My location says Tampa, I need to update my usercp.

    Supra falls on its face under boost...help

    Everything was fine except for the stock turbo leaking and burning oil out the exhaust. That's why I replaced it. After I installed the upgraded CT, the car ran great, boosted great, ran strong. Then, two months later it started running rich it seemed, there was a little black smoke out the...

    Supra falls on its face under boost...help

    Thanks munkysfly. I know the turbo will die without oil. Of course I had to get custom oil feed and drain lines to adapt this turbo. It doesn't take a coolant line like the stock CT-26. It just has an oil feed line and a drain hose out the bottom. I'm trying to figure out a way to confirm...

    Supra falls on its face under boost...help

    I have an 87t that just started hitting fuel cut at a few #s boost after running fine for 1-2 months after a turbo replacement. I adjusted the TPS with an ohm meter per the manual and it ran a little better and stopped hitting fuel cut at 3-4 #s boost. But it still is running rough. Can a...

    i think i've got a bad bypass valve...or something....

    Yes, it just started doing this all of the sudden. There is a little black smoke out the tailpipe. I also hear a sound like a rusted out muffler sound near the rear of the engine when I'm driving. I can't find anything leaking....still searching.

    i think i've got a bad bypass valve...or something....

    I have a similar problem that just started a few days ago. (87t, manual, only intake and exhaust mods) It seems I'm hitting fuel cut at around 4psi boost, a little black smoke out of the exhaust, and I'm hearing what sounds like a deep, hollow, exhaust leak sound near the back of the...

    clutch hydraulic system - clutch hose/line

    Can someone give me a link to order a new clutch line? The one from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder. Or would I just be better off going to Discount or so to order one? I have an 87t 5-speed and I just ordered the clutch master and slave cylinder but I can't find a...

    another "max boost I can run" thread :)

    I have the Titan 2mm MHG and 3" exhaust already, so I guess the fuel pump/injectors are next. Thanks for the tips that will save me damage $$$.

    The photo is deceiving actually!!! It's just the front bumper that's black. If I give you a profile shot it may depress you.

    Turbo upgrade

    I just bought a CT26 60-1 P trim (Garrett internals) turbo to replace my oil-leaking stock CT26. It's in the mail. Can I run it with a stock fuel system safely? If not, what are the minimum upgrades I need? Thanks.

    another "max boost I can run" thread :)

    What are the minimum mods that should be done after/when installing a 60-1 CT upgrade? Just fuel pump and injector upgrades? Can someone explain why that's critical? Thanks.

    oil coming up from intercooler?

    Ok, thanks for the tip. I thought if I upgraded everything, it probably would involve a couple grand at least, right?

    oil coming up from intercooler?

    Thanks for the tips everyone, very helpful. Bishop, Those are my symptoms: smoke on decel and extended idle. The smoke does seem to be a very light blue. The smell is horrible too. Totally different smell than the BHG burning coolant smell. When I'm at cruising speeds, I don't notice...
