Confused. Meth is an additive. Port injection is a technique to add an additive. Your statement is like saying you want to replace ice cream with an SUV. It's possible to deliver meth through port injection as opposed to through the charge pipe. It's possible to add more fuel or nitro...
Well, they are offering me a buyback or replacement. I'm requesting a new engine, hoping they just go with that option and call it even.
I'd rather them not do the block replacement due to the fact I'm waiting on Toyota to acquire the parts to even perform the job, that and a seal. The rest of...
This was pretty hard to read, but yes. Swapping and engine or engine R&R is much MUCH easier than rebuilding an engine. You just take the old one you and put the new one in. There's nothing to it.
Rebuilding an engine, yeah, that's hard.
Because to do a rebuild well as opposed to pull an engine apart and put it back together again and it runs is way more involved than an engine swap. An engine swap is just component replacement same as a simple water pump or alternator replacement, pull component off bolt component on but on a...
Since the forums are ever more active and new people are getting their Supra's I thought I'd make this thread a simple yet very informative way to start out modding your Supra and lessen the load on questions asked so frequently yet answered so simply.
The thread will be separated into the ECU...
Hello
before 3 days i had a long ride in my supra
after that i stopped for few mins to grab some cofee and turned on sports mode, as soon i turned sports mode my exhaust started smoking white/grey clouds for around 30 sec and after turning sports mode off it went away, i checked oil level it...
Glad you did! Crossing my fingers because I haven’t broken that yet… ?. Hope you’re tracking her now that it’s your tracking season up there. Mine is now just carting me to my short drive to work when not using the MX5, until next Oct.
Looks like it’s ~$500 bucks @MisterSkiz, not too bad...
My 2020 wouldn't read oil and had oil pressure issues. Subframe drops to get to oilpump. 30 day wait just for new torque to yield sub frame bolts. All in all a huge huge headache at around 20k km. Not sure if the replacement oilpump was an updated version or not but I ended up trading for a...
This☝. If there’s something to break, I’ll eventually get there. I mainly track her, in Florida heat at Sebring. Which is not the smoothest track to say the least. I do love the car and that track though. I’m not on any of the VW GTi or MX5 forums because we daily those car. So I’m not worried...
They replaced mine because I couldn’t measure oil level properly. The sensor was also broken, so I had extensive work done just to get that working again. Then still was burning 2quarts every 1000miles.
Eventually they opted to replace the entire long block.
Glad I sold it.
Here is my feedback after being on car forums for almost 25 years - nobody comes on the sites to say how great their oilpump is working and how they are having no problems with it - most of the sites are filled with folks looking to complain for find solutions for outlier problems.
I say keep...
Looks like there is a new part number too - looked up a 2020 Supra
Engine OilPump - Toyota (15100-WAA03)
SKU: 15100-WAA03
Other Names: Pump Assembly Oil
Description:
GR Supra.
Condition: New
Applications: 3.0L.
Replaces: 15100-WAA02
Looks like his M340i - who knows if the 2020 Supra got whatever pump it has.
I have seen references to a TSB (BMW calls it PuMA) - Puma NE 65494813-01
https://www.bimmerfest.com/threads/failed-oil-pump-b58-what-is-puma-measure-65494813.1426340/...
Any guys have any info on the tsb for the b58 plastic oul pump issue? Causing it not to read? Having Toyota replace under powertrain? Whats the build date cutoff for when they switched to metal gears in the oilpump?
I posted this a couple of days ago on the ClubLexus forum and it seems relevant to share it here as well given this discussion about Toyota's standing on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen internal combustion.
I'm not happy about this news and want to learn more as it is further...
Oil pressure within realistic limits has zero do do with oil consumption. I can't believe BMW created an engine without some means of physically checking the oil level. As an aircraft engineer of 42 years experience all the jet and piston engines for that matter I worked on over those years had...
Down But Not Out
The average national gas price was $3.50 on January 27, up more than ten cents over the prior week and forty cents over the end of December.
Steadily decreasing gas prices this fall boosted some segments of the used car market.
We’ve seen a great deal of rising demand for...
