Alright, so my car started to just overheat when I got down on it. It's a 1jzgte swapped MKIII with a single turbo upgrade. It's only running 10psi right now. that's when It started. Kinda smell a sweet minty-ish smell. Then it started to do it a little more easily each time. I went fast and it did it sooner than before. It just recently started to do it after about 25-30 minutes of just regular driving. Same dull mint smell, and the upper radiator hose was pressurized. I replaced the thermostat and have about a 67-33 mixture of water and antifreeze. I'm thinking a BHG, but there is no coolant in the oil, vice versa, and no white smoke. No more than normal anyway, it's getting cold out. Sounds like a BHG? If so, is SupraStore the only one with a nice complete set? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do a coolant pressure test
Block test
Compression test and
Leak down test.


Also never heard anything good about supra store.
