Hello peeps,
i picked up an 87 supra targa turbo. it was a buddy of mines.. currently it is sitting in my driveway due to the car not being able to hold idle.
it took us a while to actually get the car started. sorta like when you the car isnt getting fuel. but once it was started it would hold idle, but it wasnt smooth. we took it for a drive and the car seemed somewhat sluggish, boost seemed low as well. we brought it to a stop and noticed that we had to keep the foot on the gas or it would drop idle and eventually shut off. I have driven this car in the past and it is a beast when he first had the motor rebuilt. he had the car sitting in back for over a year cause he couldnt get it smogged.
Now this is what i am wondering. the guy that owned it before jimmyrigged the intercooler piping. there are different sized piping in certain parts of the plumbing. I guess the last time it was driven, one of the pipes came undone. some of the piping doesnt fit like it should and i feel the piping needs to be all redone anyway. CoULd an intake leak have that much affect?
Someone also mentioned it could be fcon needs "flashing".
the only mods i know are as followed:
rebuilt 7mgte
blitz blowoff
fcon
fcd
greddy wastegate
intercooled
exhaust
ever since the rebuilt, i dont think its been tuned. but it should still hold idle.
