  1. 10mm led will not fit inside the plastic rod thou 5 mil is prefect! Just up the MCD I used 5000MCD off of ebay 100 for 5 dollars running 4 in series with a 220 ohn resistor on my Yamaha R6 and it is pretty bright.
  2. 30 days no wax is because the paint is to soft and will asurb the wax and distort the color. If you leave the bumper in the sun for a few days or even color sand and polish it then you can wax it. 30 days just covers the bodys shop liability in case the paint did not cure correctly. Giving them 30 days for it to cure, just leave it in the sun for a few days 2-3 and you will be good.
  3. stock supra should put out 6 psi, also if you need the elbow for the exhaust portion of the turbo I think alamomotorsports.com has them. 3" elbow here is the link http://www.alamomotorsports.com/productsby...?/indexcat.html
  4. turbonetics will do a -60 trim upgrade for 500 if you tell them your a member of SOGI.
  5. i had this problem on my 87 supra turbo. I had a Check engine light thou for knock sensor and come to find out both knock sensors shared a common ground and one of the sensors positive wires chaffed into that ground causing retarded ignition. I found this with a multimeter and the haynes manual. I ended up eliminating the ground shield and this way the 2 sensors would not touch and this fixed my problem until the oil pump blew but thats a whole other story. BTW your sensors should be under the lower intake manifold a real pain in the !Removed! but if you plan on changing them I would be worth it to ohm out those wires your an engineer you should be able to fiqure that out.

  6. had to bust out the mr2/supra turbo uhn!
  7. Thats what my oil in that JDM engine looks like. I guess I'll bring it back here and do the heads on this engine also. The oil is EXACTLY like that.
  8. Also this new JDM from ASAP motors has water in the oil thinking its a head gasket. Beyond head gasket warrenty. I wish I had some C4.
  9. Okay got a jdm in there and it runs rough. It wont stay idle'd unless you disconnect the valve cover breather hose from the intake tube. Any ideas? As soon as I reconnect the hose it stalls. Can I block this hose or something?
  10. I did this to my 3.4L tacoma and the CAT went out within 500 miles. Truck has 80,000 on it wonder if it was the seafoam or time.
  11. andy, Before the smoke did the car have a hesitation? I changed the head gasket because of the white smoke. Eventually changing the engine. Now the car floods itsself and misfires and I have been thinking computer but everyone else says no. I have changed everything else nomore ideas. So you changed the computer and the cylinders fired fine and still do?
  12. Does anyone have the tube that goes down to the exhuast manifold from the EGR on a 92-93 es300? Mike shot me a email at icemaninlv@hotmail.com or a private message
  13. Is it possibe to swap the 3vzfe to a 1M? If I get the harness and computer will the other connecters hook up from the dash to the newer computer? Is it worth the trouble or just get the JDM 3vzfe for 1050 shipped. What are the benifits?
  14. Well you guys probaly remember my drama, well I got the smoke to go away and within 11 miles the engine was a knocking. drained new 10/30 with oil seafoam dropped the pan and the screen looked like crap. Cleaned the screen, then I dropped the valley under the gridle. began feeling the piston rods and low and behold cylinder 3 shook!!!! pulled the cap and the bearing was siezed to the crank. I said crap and over torqued the cap put everything back together put 20/50 oil castrol and started it with no exhaust runs good but can't tell if the knock is still there with the downpipe off! SO, Should I say 1. screw the car fill with a knock go away oil and trade it in. 2. hank the motor and replace the bottom end after I just fixed the top which by the way has to come off to reinstall pistons. 3. hank the motor and replace with a JDM or even 1MZ harness and puter? 4. car go BOOOOOM and me smile
