This is not helping the confusion dude
why are you playing musical turbo's?
Anyway it's the only place it can be getting into the IC from that side.

I removed the turbo to test on Emilios car (he was burning oil) and my turbo fixed his problem. Then we removed it and re-installed on my 7M and after 2 min of idle time white smoke (like a fog machine) came pouring out of exhaust. I turned off engine ASAP to (as I hope to) save it and found this. this help at all. Yes all IC piping, oil lines, and exhaust was covered incase it rained coolant inside my garage.
Emilio got 3 bad turbos in a row. they were good as the sellers said and MDC shit one was rebuilt twice. Bad luck on Emilio's side. I knew mine is/was good so we tested it on his engine to make sure it was the turbo.
Only thing I can think of is a cracked housing that's opened up as you bolted it back onto your motor 
Then closed back up on Emilio's car? i applied 60 pis of compressed air and also didnt hear, see, or feel a leak from turbo coolant passages
Well IJ everything was done by the book and you answered any and all questions I had on the way. Ummm.......
thank you again
thank you again
Well here is some what of a update, but not really. The only thing that has been done to the supra is the spair tire well has been flattened and under coated. All in good time it will hold a 10 or 12" sub and hopefully the battery. (the old ass Alpine amp will not stay) Other then that I still need to find a 86-91 stang 5.0 TB for the FFIM, so she sits under the cover for now during the winter.
The head lights are up because the stupid alarm went off when I re-installed the battery and forgot up put them back down.

Yes, it was dripping into the hot side of the intercooler piping from the turbo coolant line (from when the turbo was off). I just had a bolt inside of the collant hose and it dripped into the ic piping. When I removed the IC piping the Intercooler still had around 3 cups of coolant inside of it. Opps.:nono:

Yes, and it is working great inside the garage. It is better then chasing it down the block on a windy day, lol
Don't worry your supra has 14" of snow on top of it.
Car looks beautiful especially with the headlights up, looks like it's always on guard.
What kind of headlights are those btw?

IIRC they're the ebay "projectors" that glare badly
Told yah not to sell it over the coolant in the IC pipes

Yep what poo said, ebay specials, for $13. lol. We will see if they stay or if some hella's will go in. But for $13 to my front door I couldnt say no. Driving to wal-mart and buying a regular head light (to replace the burnt out one) would have cost more, and these look better since she sits in the garage anyways, lol.Supra28;1212856 said:

Right, she is still sitting in the garage with no TB, LOL. I know isnt it sad a simple 5.0 TB is holding the car back from running. Besides my turbo being in Emilio's car out side the garage with 14" of snow on top of it.
On a side note, I apologize it take so long for the first page to load, with all the pics, lol.

Lets see here what do we have to update.
Opps the ALT cable touch the block and *pop* went the ALT fuse I found out the hard way that it is held in with screws. Never the less I have a new one coming in the mail.
Bought a Q45 TB from Nashman, in attempts to getting this FFIM to work.
Then machined a adaptor plate to bolt it up to the 100mm opening on this POS FFIM.
Shortened the TPS shaft on the Q45 so I can use the OEM TPS with it.
Time to install everthing
And just like every else on this car it wont work. The throttle cable area on the Q45 is WAY to tall. I cant even close the hood So not it is back to the drawing board. Also need to make another throttle cable for this TB if I keep everything. The one I made for the last TB is to short, lol.
Yes this POS FFIM from Tubbie is still pissing my off and I am still trying to make it work before I junk it out and buy ANOTHER FFIM.
So I am back to the drawing board and beer drinking to see if there is anything I can do before pulling this FFIM off and putting it in the scrap alum. pile. Since it is back to the drawing board I am not up dating and pics on the first 10 posts.
