Guys, today while finishing up my knock sensor rewire I noticed I was missing a small hose. I have attached some pics to help the diagnosis. What is this hose/is it important/ why was it missing when I bought the car (theory's) ?

Jay.

Judging by this pic. Thats the only logical place it can go!

But it doesn't seem like you have the blue bmsv like other non turbo A supras.

Can you trace the line that crosses over towards the left of the motor, over the along the cold side piping, and tell us where it goes?

(If you look at the pic i have posted, you'll see a valve on the left topish side, this is what controls vacuum for the charcoal canister, and is routed along the fire wall on RHD cars, and your charcoal canister is clearly straight from tb vacuum.)

For all i know the cross over line is empty and the turbo A supras had that line on the intake manifold area caped off. So get me a pic of where it ends up. :)

If the car didn't come with a canister then nothing goes on there, all UK cars are like this.

Well You've Got it. :)

Can yo do me a favor and take pics of the Air Box and Turbo?

I've always wondered what the turbo A had there.

I've always assumed it was like the 1JZ stock air box. :dunno:

Just going with nice, clean simple mods. New exhaust/dump pipe, maybe a 57 trim upgrade, injectors, safc in the glove box, so it cannot be seen. Re-trim the leather to original standard. Where can I find a stock front lip, mine is missing. Ohh and get an undercover from toyota. Respray the saw blades aswell, maybe the wilwood brake upgrade. Just nice clean, simple mods.

If you go with a 57 trim, use another core from a normal model (so as not to ruin the stock turbo as they're rare)

If you use an SAFC use a fields harness (so no hacked wires), use adapters for the injectors as well so as not to hack anything.

I'd get the sawbladess refinished professionally (another thing that's unique to the Turbo-A's) and try and keep it very stock.

I envy you a lot, would love to get my hands on a Turbo-A.

For those who can't read.

We already figured it out. :3d_frown:

It takes an understanding of what those lines do, and he being a JDM spec supra doesn't need it.

A neat mod for your car would be the JZA70 Lip. :)

Note the supra on the right. ;)

Nice turbo A. Not very often we get to see this rarity around anywhere

I like the look of the stock jza70 Lip. I picked one up recently too Zum.. lol
I also noticed you have the trd adjustable shocks...I aven't been able to find a set apart from the one I had on my last supra. I guess turbo A's came with them from factory ??
