  1. Starter System Fault Help

    Did you try replacing your whole engine?
  2. What is needed for upgrades turbo

    You need an auxiliary LPFP (I run Vader Solutions, but PFS is another good option); a port injection plate; a set of 1050cc injectors; a Motiv Reflex+; a Motiv 0-10 bar pressure sensor; a Continental ethanol sensor; a Motiv ethanol harness; a tune (MHD+ or Ecutek will be easiest); and the...
  3. Stock Suspension, 19"x11" rear, would you run a 305/35 or a 305/30

    I would run and do run 305/30 on an 11. It's the ideal tire size.
  4. Quick jacks arrived, first oil change tomorrow.

    Fumoto instructs 15 ft-lbs for the F109SX valve.
  5. Brakes releasing slowly after coming to a stop

    Standstill decoupling is enabled by default in sport and comfort on the Supra. //to clarify: When the transmission is in "D". Not sure what the setting is for Sport Manual.
  6. Oil leak

    I concur with the assessment that this just drip/residue from the filter and filter housing during oil changes. This oil cooler is directly below the oil filter port, and Supra oil changes aren't exactly spotless. Gravity takes the crud to the low point.
  7. Starter System Fault Help

    It's the battery. Every time someone posts about a weird electrical issue, it's low battery. The people who argue that it's not the battery because they totally charged it bro I swear later discover it's low battery. When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie it's a low battery.
  8. Visconti tuning valve cover upgrade

    It blocks ports on the PCV system in the head, which becomes necessary with upgraded turbo and high boost. Boost starts to leak past internal diaphragms/baffles. But the cover is kind of a waste. There are pins you can hammer in, or you can tap the little ports and install set screws. It's like...
  9. Oil drops from both side sills?

    Dirt buildup, or the absolutely incredible amount of protective cavity oil that's sprayed into this platform at the factory. Either way: harmless.
  10. TPMS for the Supra

    Bit of a thread necro, but wanted to thank you for bringing TPMSDirect to my attention. Much less expensive than the options I was looking at from other vendors. It's nice to have a source for inexpensive TPMS, and I just picked up a pair for my drag pack. ✌️
  11. Frameless windows Freezing.

    The arrowed piece, and the channel that the glass sits in when fully rolled up.
  12. Bought used EOS manifold

    It looks beat up, but not hosed. Coolant passages are probably fine. But I'd probably try to find a way to get some water through the loop externally of the vehicle first.
  13. Bought used EOS manifold

    Because the brain genius running an unfiltered turbo was smashing rocks into his manifold at nearly half the speed of sound. Air velocity of the turbo outlet is roughly 0.4 mach.
  14. RPMs fluctuate randomly

    This typically means the engine has a vacuum leak, which causes this described symptom known as "hunting." The ECU is trying to reach homeostasis on the air/fuel ratio, but constantly plays tug of war with itself as the air metering is not consistent or predictable. So it bounces back and forth...
  15. Issue with white smoke out exhaust

    White smoke at idle usually means insufficient crank case evacuation. Either because the car has a deficient PCV system from the factory, or the owner has made modifications to the PCV system that eliminate one or more vacuum sources on the case when there's nothing coming from the throttle...
  16. Issue with white smoke out exhaust

    When you blocked off your PCV with pins, do any of your new PCV vents or cans attach to a constant source of vacuum? For example, running the valve cover to a t-tap on the large barb at the front of the manifold. The car will smoke at idle if there is insufficient vacuum for the crank case after...
  17. Difference between exhaust

    It's a single exit exhaust. There's only one place for the pops to go.
  18. Horse Power guess??

    I also take a dim view of dynos these days. Anyone with a brain and some experience on the platform can get pretty good at guesstimating what kind of power the car should be at with a given setup. Cars are air pumps, and pumps behave in predictable ways if everything is set up correctly. I've...
  19. Had my first oil change today at the BMW dealer

    I also don't use the shaped inserts anymore. Just vehicle jack points flat to the jack pads. The jack points still look great and it's faster.
