Whats needed and whats not needed?

[J3ST3R]

So I am trying to get my supra running before the sale of my Bmw goes through and need a little help since I dont know to much about this car other than how to disassemble it lol. Please help me, is there any one in or near ColoradoSprings that could help me with it? haha I need to get this thing running lol. :1zhelp:
edit - What vacuum lines and are needed and what ones arnt needed? What can i get rid of and WTH is ETC? Is it short for Engine Turbo Control?? I have no clue that and i have an overdrive button..........

 

[bioskyline]

if your auto which i assume if you have a OD button, the the ECT is elecronic controlled transmission, which all autos are.

as for what you can delete. well none of it really, they all do something.

If you're trying to get it running I definitely wouldn't be worrying about deleting vacuum lines, I'd be worrying about getting it running. As bioskyline already pointed out, they're all there for a purpose. Yes, it can look like a bit of a spaghetti mess at first especially if they're not routed nicely, but they are all important.

Here's a few diagrams to hopefully help you figure out where everything goes:

ok so all of them are needed. Any good places to start? im pulling the turbo toaday to look at it.

What's the problem beyond "it's not running"? It's hard to troubleshoot or offer suggestions when that's all you've given us.

It's not running as of now, It has leaks and and all the hoses are either as hard as steel, cracked, or gone, and Two flat tires. Theres white powder all over the turbo. (i removed the heat shield). There was a massive build up of carbon on the throttle body, and for as far as the sensors go i have no clue. When we got it to start all the electronis seemed to work.
* and the rainbow is on my radiator, im guessing its been overheated where would be a good place to start looking for damage??

will parts for the 92' MKiii fit the 87 MKiii?

 

[radiod]

Most of them, what in specific are you curious about?

All the hoses, (mine are all as hard as steel, worn, or rotted) and body wise like fenders, Sideskirts, airdams, rear skirts, ect. The more i dig deaper the more problems i find. When i checked the bolts for the turbo i was able to undo them all by hand, then i accidentally tightend one down and am know having a hard time getting it to come loose. :icon_frow

Maybe you should consider using the 92 instead of the 87? Much more rare car.. Definitely worth repairing.

 

[radiod]

Kind of what my thoughts were as well...it would be a shame to see a 92 parted if it just needed a motor.

 

[J3ST3R]

Ill start looking for a 92 that i can save. The one i was going to pull parts off of is practicaly 4 wheels and the shell. (idk if its still there i went and looked at it sunday and it still had the fenders and the engine was still in it) so im gonna get back on the phone and see if any of the local junk yards have any lieing around any where else.

 

[J3ST3R]

Im thinking i might part out my supra to try and get a sufficient amount of funds out of it. This guy might cut me a deal on his supra im talkiing to him right now. Ive got my bmw sold for $800 and i need another 700-800 out of the supra theres allot of good parts still on it. Im still trying to figure everything out.

 

[J3ST3R]

So as of right now the supra is not in my possesion thanks to the stupid old man that works the grounds at my old apt complex. They had it towed and i cant afford the amount they want to have a released. Looks like im screwed.

Then maybe you shouldn't have given them a reason to tow it.
