Backgroud: I was driving around and saw a guy working on this supra. I stopped to check it out. Turns out he had the head bolted on but didnt know much more about how to finish getting it back together. Me and some friends put it together for some beers and alittle cash. Got it finnished and asked the guy if he had changed the fluids when he got it. He said that he had. We started it up checked the oil, sure enough it was milky. I told the guy that he had another BHG, so he didnt want the car anymore. Gave him $600 and drove it away. Changed the oil which he had not done and it ran pretty well. drove it for like a week and it started to tick. The EGR cooler plate got loose. pulled it into the garage to fix that and it hasnt come out for close to 3 years.
1988 supra turbo 5spd build

i think he got it on ebay already mostly done, but yea it looks like someone cut the front off and welded a tb adapter on it. the plate over the old hole now has an iat sensor in it.
Its a ff made from a factory Turbo mani. I got it off of Ebay from a guy that lived clost to Austin Tx. He made it for his and the TB flange was alittle crooked so he sold it. I had to cut a slit in one of the hood braces to fit the linkage in. I say lived in Austin because he sold it to me and got deployed in the war. i used to email him things about supras and how his manifold was doin on my car. He no longer replies. Any way i have ported, polished, and matched it. yo Mike what do ya think
Im from Arlington Tx. but have just relocated to Canadian Tx. thats right. i didnt know either. But its just for work (landman) and doesnt make it suck any less. Look it up if ya wanna cheep laugh on me. But they pay me alot so i can buy more supra parts and things of that nature.
