Unless you can do work yourself like dropping the front subframe to change the oilpump, find a heavy discount on Toyota warranty Is the better route. Personally for the discounted price on the 10 year Toyota platinum warranty, it takes me 2 working days to pay for it. i Figured over 7 years...
...20 years and the supra has been at the dealership for repairs longer than all them Honda/Acura combine. Spend 3 weeks at dealer ship for oilpump. Supra is the first european car I owned. I bought the Toyota 10 years/100k miles warranty. First warranty on a car I ever bought. 2 years of...
Honestly you may want to save up and go top-mount.. I had two pure800's and both pushed oil. Maybe they've fixed the issue but worth looking into.
1. If you go Pure900 you'll want 1050 injectors and those will support around 900hp. I'm at 1,100hp and needed to jump up to 1300's.
2/4. I would...
...i have already clam around $3000 of work already. Dam oil sensor couldn’t read so Toyota dealer drop the front sub frame to install new oilpump. i don’t ever buy warranty of any kind but BMW does cost a lot for repairs and I’ll keep car for 10 years. I good repair over 10 years Will...
Why was the transmission replaced? At that mileage I'd want to know if the oilpump has been replaced yet as well. The only "value add" I'd say on those mods is ~$1.5-2k for the wheels.
I found the listing and it's being sold at $35,800. Here's a visor.vin search for you to compare prices. I...
Curious to know if anyone else has had this problem since I haven't seen many others mention it.
Apparently water pump leaks aren't uncommon on the B58, according to a close friend who's a technician at BMW.
I've gotten the 'coolant low' warning on iDrive twice before. Once at around 15k miles...
Yea, I think I am finally going to install the roll bar this winter. We'll see if that becomes true. Between the oilpump, trans build and the roll bar, it might be a bit busy.
Anecdotal experience, but I had my oilpump fail and swapped out. Previous owners of my car were in California, Arizona, and then with me - having to swap it out in Vegas. It does get cold in the winters for Arizona & Nevada. I'm not exactly sure when it failed specifically. I can only guess it...
I might have jumped the gun, but I am currently on the reinstall steps, i've installed the pistons and rods and will get to the oilpump and oil pan next.
I've been taking it very slow and ensuring I research everything before I go into the next step. I've put well over 25 hours of work into it...
Great write-up and thanks for sharing!
How long did the full build take you from start to finish?
I had a few questions if you don’t mind:
Did you go with the OEM head gasket?
What compression ratio did you choose for your pistons? My understanding is that the 6-port Supras run 10.2:1...
...• Feeler gauges
• Piston install tool (ring compression tool)
• 12 point sockets
• E torx and torx sockets
• Pass through bit driver (for oilpump sprocket)
• Connecting rod balancing tool (to check weight)
• BMW oil pan gasket making
- injector seals and special tool to install them
