just calling it like I see it. There are guys on this forum who would be far rougher, but they usually dont waste time posting in threads like this. I am just bored.

arent you the guy who broke the bolts on the cam covers and couldnt drill them out and wanted to replace that engine too?

So now some hoses are burned and you arent sure what goes where so you want to buy a new motor?

You are pretty much clueless on car repairs/restoration arent you? Do you have adhd? I am going to make a bet right now that not only is that car not running in 3 weeks, but is in fact sold before it ever runs under its own power. I really dont think you belong owning a supra, or any nearly 20yo car for that matter.

I dont mean to be an ass about this but that car is both minty and far too gone for someone of your skill level. Either get someone local to help you go completely through it, or sell it to someone who can.

qft.

Hey Fonz,

i think u should pull the head off the car and evaluate things from there, and then while ur at it u can install a metal headgasket and arp headstuds. also with the head off u will be able to take it to a shop to see if its usable after the fire. just my 2 cents.

Aren't you pretty close to Push? Pay him to fix the car while you stand there and learn. If you aren't an idiot, you'll learn a lot. Besides, he probably has all the parts you need :rofl:

Thanks for the Bash, but no i m not that guy who drilled whatever he drilled threw. I will not be replacing the motor unless if i really have to. I m not confused about pipes missing or where it goes, its just alot of the plastic that was burned dropped on to some many things and alot of melted wires and shit everywhere, i just can't figure out what goes where or where was it before. I ll take pics for you so you understand what i m talking about. Dealing with a motor that has been in a fire isn't easy if your trying to fix it without taking it out of the car.
I ain't planning on selling this car at all. And i will have it running in 3 weeks. I hope.

So i need parts! A lot of parts! :) If anyone here has the idle air control thing, that weird thing i was holding, that connects to the intake manifold, i need one of those, I need a distributor. I m thinking about replace the thermostat housing cause all of the clips are burned off. I still need Wiring Harness! if anyone has 89+ wiring harness, turbo 5 speed. I need it! thank you. I also need a 02 sensor.
So far i already purchase, Coilpack, Fuel rail and Injectors.

thanks for looking

okay, i just read your car is a 89.

take the glove out and the ecu. Check and see if the plugs are yellow or grey.

this makes a big difference!

Edit: Your Car has a 6500 redline. So it's 6M, i have a gut feeling it's Yellow Plug. :(

I hope you can find a 87-88 harness and just swap the few plugs that are different.

Edit X2: Best bet. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67785 Give him your vin and see what he can do. Should be a little under 500. But this is IMO the route i would take.

Thanks for looking, I m hoping to have the fuel rail, injectors and wiring harness. Three Things that need to be taken out before new or used parts go in.

under the glove box when closed is a piece of trim with 3 screws unscrew them and take the piece out then youll see the 2 screws holding the glove box in place take that out. Then the big black trim piece w/ a green light bult unscrew the 4 screws i believe and big black plastic pop in screw (dont break this) then remove the black trim behind glove back then you should see the ECU.

Pretty sure that is your oil pressure sensor (sending unit).


I have a thermostat housing with sensors if you need one. $20 shipped.
