Really handy tip is to get a 6mm hex tool and a cordless drill. Then you have a cordless power targa tool.
Just bought a 1990 Supra turbo targa, auto

Sounds like u r on your way. Let this site b your coach and guide. SM is by far one of the most comprehensive sites on the net in my opionion.Whatever it is u want to do someone has already been there and done that..... and put info on this site so that others can do it to.BTW to change a side mirror u start on the inside of the car at the bottom of the A pillar usaully there is a small plastic piece that can b pryed off that reveals screws holding the sideview mirror. Simple as punch.
I have a 90 turbo auto as well with some mods, if you are BHG I suggest go 1JZ and 5 speed, in the end its cheaper power buying a new 7M and building it for boost is gonna cost more than a 1jz swap and some toys
GOOD LUCK

I already have another 7m.. they are swapping my turbo over to the new block and we are probably going to use a new metal head gasket with arp bolts. New belts and new fluids.

New rod bearings would not hurt either if u can get them in your budget and make sure u get the proper size for each piston as per the Toyota Service Repair Manual-TSRM. You will b so glad u did.:icon_bigg
Well I should get it back by the weekend.. we did put new wires, water pump, new oil pan gasket, alt - basically a new engine. New K&N intake as well as new fluids and going to synthetic oil..
I have to ask guys - the plastic arm that comes out fromn the engine (original) to meet the K&N air filter end is cracked (-duct taping it right now) do I buy another original part or?

Do you mean the accordian hose? If so, you have to get it from the dealer, and ask for the one for a 91 or 92 Supra, it seems to be cheaper than the earlier hoses for some reason, but they are exactly the same, fo figure.
I am pretty sure we are tallking about the same piece - however it is not the accordian part that is cracked - it is the end part where the air filter attaches..
So you think I should just go to toyota and get another one.. not aftermarket one..

There's really no reason to go aftermarket other than looks, and am ones will be MUCH more expensive.
Welcome to the Supra owners club. If you need a good local Supra mechanic I have one around Rupert & 3rd. Thats pretty much all he works on. Pm if you need parts and I'll check with him, he has lots.
