basically: every time you shift under boost, the bov opens. if it vents to the atmosphere, it is letting air out that the computer has already measured. so instead of being say 12:1 air:fuel, it loses air, so it hits 10:1 air:fuel. not really a problem, it just causes carbon buildup, and sometimes may lead to stalling. only problem i ever had was if i was boosting, then put the clutch in, if i didnt rev the engine a bit, it would sometimes stall. give it a quick tap on the gas, and problem solved. i also tightend thespring on my bov, which cured it for me.

edit: so much for that writeup, you already understand lol

[Enraged]

about choosing BOVs, its more personal preference. HKS, Blitz, and Greddy all make quality product. each one sounds different, and has different advantages. i chose the HKS SSBOV after hearing it on Blakes celica (GT-Four on RS).

that will not cause carbon build up dude whe you run really rich you umm what the word i am looking for dame it kinda like crotion or some thign dame what the fucken word oh well i forgot

carbon is cause by mostl iky oil or other for stuff like coolent

in odder for you to gain alot of carbon from runing rich you have to be runing rich all the time

[NashMan]

i have all ways liekd the greddy bov my sefl but they tend to leak some what same wiht allt he piston one's

the only bulit pruff one made is hks ssq it can not leak ever


but i fi was to go for nice it whould be the turbo xs rfl i herd it befor sounds killer

[Enraged]

actually, unburnt gas causes carbon buildup, but thanks for comin out.

:)

[NashMan]

ok let me put into terms that is very easy to say in dore to gain that much carbon build upy ou have to be runing a very low octain gas in oder for it to build up lie that

but inoder for it build up as in gas soot it will have to very i mean very rich as in the point where you are pushing black and still then it get very hot in the comtion caber that it will just burn off

remmber high the octian the oil is in the gas and that is what caus ecarbon build up

take test take gas lay in ont he ground and burn it thenafter it all bunrt and left black spot take troch tot eh blakc crap and ti will just burn off there nto eghough oil in the gas in oder for it gum up

[Enraged]

your wrong and i mock your religion and/or way of life.

[Slate 85GTS]

lol now now guys, no need to get fiesty. I would just run my stock valve but i was told its on its way out so im not so sure i want to run it for long... maybe i should replace it with the HKS SSQ BOV and route it back so it runs back thru the AFM ? I guess it defeats the purpose of a BOV but i guess it would still at least make for a good stock bypass valve replacement??

[NashMan]

if you are doing that just use a bosh bov in less you have goals of big boost caus eposhe bov will hold 15 psi fine and there 60 bucks and have cool nise as well kinda like a blitz bov

but rooting it back in is bore you want peoepl to hear your 600 buck bov and yes there not cheep in lesss you buy used

[NashMan]

Originally posted by Enraged

mock all you want but i am right and say it one more time in oder for you to get alot of carbon build up you have run lowe octain gas or run really really really rich and the bov thingy will not do this

a broken afm will or if you blow an ic pipe


in all cause carbon is cause by oil and yor ring not seating right or you fill your car wiht to much oil or use really crappy oil adivies

[Slate 85GTS]

Well lets put it this way then, if anybody ever hears of a decent used BOV come up for sale that will work for my supra lemme know.... otherwise for now i will either keep my stock one or buy a bosch one? not sure yet...

[Slate 85GTS]

Oh ya a couple other things too, i was gonna ask where abouts in saanichton do you live enraged?? I live in saanichton as well. And i also emailed that Mike guy about the wiring harness and he said he has them but wont sell them? i dunno why he wont sell them but thats ok, i will just find my own i guess

Hey! nice to meet you :), my gf (ness_71) and i live out by the central saanich police station. Its right off of Mt.Newton x-road. Where abouts do you live?

[NashMan]

yae but cheack to see if your stock one is blown if it is replace asap or you are surging your turbo and that is bad you are lossing boost and frocing unmeter air into your car bad bad

bad

easy way to cheak is take the stocker off and see if you can blow throw it at all drition if one way is block and cant then you bov is fine

[Slate 85GTS]

Oh ok, i will make sure to check that out before i get the car on the road :) thanks.

[Paradox]

just get the bosch bov unless you plan un running 15+ lbs boost in anytime in the near future.... all the other BOV's run more than 3x the value of a used bosch which can be found somewhat easily on forums...

altho the HKS SSBOV sounds best in my opinion.. if you're only planning on running stock boost there isnt much need for it. but it is progressive, so if you decide to turn up the boost down the road it will hold fine there, too.. ive run over 20psi on mine and it sounds crazy loud letting out all that air :lol

owell check supraforums.com for sale section, maybe you can find something used and cheap

[Slate 85GTS]

Well i plan on playing around with shimming the wastegate lots, right now its shimmed as is but im not sure what the kid has it set to run at. I think around 15psi right now? I will have to check with him before i buy it. But he did warn me already that the stock bypass valve is on its way out. Im not sure what he means by that exactly but ya. I will check to see if its ok still otherwise i will probably just end up buying an HKS BOV that you guys all talk about because it sounds like the way to go. I wont be running stock boost for long i can tell you that now lol...

[abinga]

who on revscene has the brown or burgandy mk3 turbo that went to alberny for the trip with us last summer. i cant remember who it was

toby maybe?

Slate, if you're shimmed, you'd be running probably around 10-12psi, fuel cut is at 12..... and i wouldnt attempt to go much higher til you've re-done the headgasket and bolts, as you've probably heard its the fatal flaw of the mk3, and high boost can blow a 12+ year old headgasket in no time

in order to get it above 12psi you'll need fuel upgrades, injectors, AFM housing, etc

[Slate 85GTS]

Haha mine is brown, but its not the same car that your talking about.

hey your car was brown remeber the parkign lots there i am still getting the dust out fo my car to this day



oh yae about the shim thing only shim by 3 washer it is the safe way pf dpoing any more and you can wreack the acwater

[Slate 85GTS]

Alright, thanks. I will keep that in mind... i dont want to do any damage, just have fun lol. How much boost does 3 washers put you at roughly?

[Enraged]

buy a boost gauge, its the only way to tell.... well worth the money.

[Slate 85GTS]

Ya im going to get an autometer boost guage, i actually want to try and get myself a pillar guage mount. Im just worried about trying to match the color of my odd tan leather interior?

[Slate 85GTS]

One more thing too... does anybody know if the ECU to Engine wiring harness is the exactly the same for 87 and 88 ? My Supra is a '87 but i found a harness for an '88... what changed if anything? thanks guys.

[NashMan]

well depends the einge bay harness is the same but the stuff unde the dash is all diffetn it will not match the rear end wirieng of the car cause the fuse box's changed ever year teh supra was made and still the it has to have the same options as youer car or it will not work and still the some years toyota reused some other there harness and use em in diffetn years so you have to find out what haress is in your car right now

where the numbers are are ont eh big placti cover peac ont eh wire it will have number and then ont eh back of the fuse box as well and the number tag ont eh wireing it sefl

good luck

i say buy the book and rewire it back ot norm


3 washer will give abpout 9 to 10 psi i most supra even if they have exhuast and intake

[Slate 85GTS]

If i buy the book and rewire it what are you thinking exactly, like hardwire it? Cause if thats what you mean it has already kinda been half ass hardwired. Im going to redo it but ya. So are you saying a stock supra will get about 10psi or with 3 washers or do you mean one with an intake and exhaust. Right now mine has a K&N Intake kit, but stock exhaust.

[Paradox]

ryan, toby.. what you guys think about putting together "BPU" kits for the MK3.. and sell them on ebay and shit

basically my idea was to put together a bunch of kits containing.

universal cone style air filter + adapter
manual boost controller
3" exhaust pipes, with no muffler
or perhaps a cutout.

i figure it could be done for pretty cheap, and sell online for a awesome profit

thats just an idea...

[NashMan]

good idea but don't have to much money right now

the car stock will get that type of psi even if it it had stock exhuast and intake on it just be sower with out the the exhuast and such you may gain 2 mabye over 10 but that will be creep psi

do not buy a Supra Timpo, you won't be able to handle it.

go buy a civic, rice it out, it will be perfect for you.

[Morgin]

whats do mk3 turbos run for these days?

[Morgin]

also, anyone here know much about this car?

1987 TOYOTA SUPRA V6 200 HP, N/A, Black, 2door coupe, 5spd, No accidents, Fully loaded and powered everything, 220K, New H&R 1.5�h lowering spring, New 2.5" customer make exhaust piping, Apexi WS muffler, 16�h5 Star rims, CD-player, Alarm system with keyless entry, Short Shifter, New NGK plug wire and spark plugs, Good Condition, oil changed every 2 month!! buying a new car, need to sell. $4,500 obo Victoria


I'm needing to sell the mr2 cause I want a bit more room. I always liked supras. I probably DONT need a turbo as i dont see myself out on the track or whatever where the speeds will be important is this needs to hold me over till i take off for law school in a year and a half.

What would you guys pay for a decent condition 87 or 88 with medium km's and no rust / good paint?

[SilverMK3]

Biggest pet peeve in teh world: People saying that Supras have V6's... grrrr :mad: :p

Anyway, that's quite a few KMs on it. Mine's at 197K and starting to show it. That many mods on an NA makes me wonder if its been abused.

$4500 is a pretty good price when you consider everything that's gone into it (assuming everything's in working order). Take Nashman or any of the other Supra ppl with you when you go look at it though - We know the common trouble spots.

When you turn it on, give it a couple of revs and listen for a gurgling/waterfall noise behind the dash. That means there's air in the coolant system and a common symptom of a blown head gasket.

Take off the oil cap and look for any white goop. Another sign of a BHG.

Press the brake pedal down and see if an orange light on the dash stays lit. If the taillight failure sensor has gotten wet because of a leaky hatch, it has probably shorted out.

Check the spare tire well to see if there's any water/rust there. Water commonly leaks into your trunk through the hatch.

Check the body moldings around the entire car to make sure none are "pushed out" from the body. '86-'88 Supras had metal clips that held the moldings to the body - these commonly rust and are a pain to fix.

Take it for a spin! :D

[islandsupra]

Yeah, bring someone who knows what to look for with you. The biggest problems I guess would be a BHG, rod knock and rust. If there's water in the spare tire well, run your thumbnail along the topside of the taillights. Often that's where the water leaks in, and it's not a big deal to fix.
Honestly 4500 doesn't sound all that bad, given the car is in good shape. I paid 7500 for mine a year ago. But it's a turbo, had just over 62,000 mi. on it and no rust.
Just look everything over really good, because these cars can get really expensive really fast to maintain! But if maintenance has been kept up, it should be ok. I have only had to replace a heater hose, and now a master cylinder. That is it and I've owned it for over a year now. So they can be ok, but make sure it has been maintained - and expect to spend a little money on replacing things if the previous owner has not done so alraedy. It is a 15+ year old car.
Good luck!

[NashMan]

any bidy wna come up to naimo on the 17th for drive nad meet the up iland crew

[islandsupra]

HEY!!
I am already in Nanaimo.... if you come up, be sure to give me a call. My number is 756-2338, name is Reuben.
I gotta order a master cylinder today, and I won't have any wheels. But if someone wanna come and pick me up, I'd like to meet you guys. I dunno what's up with my car now. Rear right tire is losing air... I think it might have just been the coldness acting on the rim or something? Was fine last time I was driving, so I don't know how I coulda got a flat.
Also now it won't start. I thought my battery was dead, but it won't even turn over a little bit. Started fine the last time I drove it. I'll try giving it a boost today when my roommate gets back from work so I can use her car for a jump. But wouldn't it even try to turn over, or even just click? God I hope it's not my starter... I'm too broke to replace things right now.
Was going to put insurance on again in Feb. too... I dunno what the hell is up. And I don't even have tools down here to take stuff apart, just a set of wrenches. Stupid cars...
But yeah, enough ranting. If you come down, give me a call, I'd like to meet you guys. But my car won't be in comission and I don't have any other wheels.

[NashMan]

welll that just fucken great my car will not start

i have no power in the cabin at all completey dead this is just great

[islandsupra]

Exactly what happened to my car.
I dunno if it's just the battery or what?!
I tried jumping it last night, nothing. I dunno what the deal is, it was fine last time I went to start it up and let it run. I think maybe the battery is just completely drained? I'm going to swap it out today and see (steal my roommate battery from her car :P)

It definetly sucks ass though. I have no real experience with stuff like this, so all I can do is guess, but I don't want to waste money on parts I don't need. Any ideas Nash?

[NashMan]

cheak this spark fule air wiht out thous your car will not start

[NashMan]

well i still don't know what is with my car i going to weight tell julie gets here and see if can jump it and if it does that si just odd cause the batt should not be dead at all

[Enraged]

thats messed up.. did you check all of your fuses?

[NashMan]

ya ei cheak as many as i chould may need you car to swap fuse wiht cause some fuse/relay's are very exp

[islandsupra]

I don't know what the hell is wrong with mine either!!
I checked every fuse that I could. Tried jumpstarting it.

If the battery was completely dead, would you be able to jump it?
I was thinking of trying to get my landlord to lend me a battery charger, but I have no idea what else it could be.
Let me know if you have any progress, seems like the same problem. God damn supras, as soon as I buy parts to fix one thing, another thing goes wrong!

[NashMan]

well try jump starting it and if that don't work you may have the same prob as me i gonna crack down tommrow thou and find out wtf is going on

[Timpo]

who's car is this? this car is in Victoria.

http://www.revscene.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=177069

[islandsupra]

Looks like ass IMO, maybe just a bad pic, but the wheels and tires look worse than stock!

But on another note... I did try jumpstarting the battery, to no avail. The thing is, if the battery was drained- and I mean right drained - then jumping wouldn't do a thing anyways.
When it's run right down, the only thing I think you can do is borrow a charger from someone and charge it up overnight, see what happens the next day. If nothing, then I guess you gotta get a new battery.
This seems to make the most sense to me, more than any other problems that just magically came up (although you never know, it IS a supra). In my case I know that I did kill the battery, I left my trunk open (not locked down, so the lights were still on) for at least a whole day - I was gone out of town, realized it when I got home. Pure stupidity on my part... I know so don't flame me for it.
At least it didn't rain though hehe.

I dunno if it's the same case for you or not Nash, but I'm going to see if I can borrow a charger from my landlord (it's nice having a 25 year old landlord - that's rich and a heavyduty deisel mechanic living upstairs) and charge it overnight tomorrow. Going snowboarding, so I will try this out tomorrow after I get home.
It seems to make the most sense to me, either that or a fuse going out somehow. I checked all the fuses I could, all seemed ok.
If this doesn't work, I guess I'll be buying a redtop from Costco and seeing if that fixes it. I've been eyeing them up everytime I go grocery shopping there anyways. I'll let you know how it goes for me, b/c it sounds liek the same sort of problem. But I'd suggest trying to get a hold of a batterycharger overnight and seeing if that is the problem, or swap out batteries if possible.
Good luck!

[NashMan]

the reson why it will not start is cause the other car is not at full volagte


so rev up the other car and turn your key and it will start but if you are like me and have no power tot he cabin of the car then i i have few adeas what it cna be

[islandsupra]

Nope, no power in the cabin, no power at all. I don't really believe that it's a relay switch or fuse or anything. If it is that would suck though.
It just makes more sense logically tha tif one day it starts, I realize I leave the trunk open, then it loses power... it should be the battery gone dead.
Is there any such relays in the back? something that leaving the trunk cracked and moisture could have possibly affected?
I am going to start with the simple and work my way from there. It doesn't make sense that 1 day the car starts fine, and the next day a ground comes loose or a relay goes bad when I haven't been driving the thing. I have no idea!!!
But I'm gonna try the battery charger hopefully today, and if that doesn't work I'll swap the battery. If that doesn't work, only god knows and I work my way up from there I suppose.
Keep me updated on your progress, it sounds like similar problem, and you probably know more than me about where to look if it's not the batt.

[Paradox]

wonder if maybe ryans prob is the wiring for his turbo timer is somehow shutting down the rest of the car....

or main relay.

wondering roughly what a 1990 NA supra will cost me with decent km's, not mint new though but not 220 thou either. i would just want one with no rust, good body and in good shape.

im sorta thinking of saving for a na depending on price and later on dropping a turbo engine in there

well i whent out for pac of smoke's at the gas staion here in langfrod meet a guy there who has a na and wants me to swap in a 7mgte choudllive be any better heheh


quote him 600 for the swap so that good deal and keep me have money that i need

[islandsupra]

Well, I finally got the dead car problem fixed. I missed the meet on saturday, wanted to come out to meet you guys and see your cars. But my friend came up from Vic on Saturday and a bunch of us went out. Good times.
I was gonna do the master cylinder on friday with my landlord, but we ended up sitting upstairs with him after the bar until 6am and both of us were way too hurtin in the morning. So I am gonna try and do it this weekend, hopefully the car will be good to go and insured by the end of the month!!
I think I might have a bad tire or rim though. One of my tires lost a lot of air over christmas. I dunno if it was just due to the cold weather acting on the rims or something. Guess I should get it filled up and see what happens.
But anyhow, just put the battery back in, fired her up, and noticed there's an exhaust leak! It seems like it is coming from around #6 cylinder. I dunno how to fix these things, so dunno what to do. It quiet down after the car ran for a few seconds.
But anyways, it's always something or another. Hopefully the car will be insured again soon.
I plan on making a trip to VIctoria one weekend after I insure it again. Maybe we could plan to meet up whenever it finally happens. I'll post about it again when things actually start to happen.
Oh yah Paradox, I signed up for VIS forum already, I am Reuben :)

[SilverMK3]

Hey IslandSupra,
Let me know when you're going up, I gotta go up there again sometime too.

[Paradox]

i am a monkey

[NashMan]

we should plan a big meet when the mur man get his licanse back that was my plan

who's up for it

and yes, meet when murray has his license back. hopefully my car will be runnign by then haha

[islandsupra]

So when do you get your license back you fucking monkey?

[Enraged]

june?

everyone donate to my newly established "Buy Toby a SPEC Stage 3 Fund"!

[NashMan]

i thought it was april and don't get spec that is over kill for what you will push and to this day i still don't liek kev clutches

[Enraged]

stage 2 or 3, im still unsure at the moment. overkill? never! built to last if i can actually save some $$ for more upgrades....

[NashMan]

just get a oganinic cluthc they feel better for street plus i can't see oyu push 450 wrhp any tiem soon

[Enraged]

ryan, its basically spend $700 now, or $400 now and $700 later... besides, a stage 2 is supposed to hold around 460 ft-lbs.... depends on what i do during the summer. might have a line on a well paying job....

[NashMan]

yae man i just say it takes alot of money to over power a cluctch mine has bean test to hold over 450 at teh wheels and held fine and stuff says my buddie and stuff i i can see mine goin any time soon

spec shoudl be the same way

[Slate 85GTS]

Hey Paradox, very nice website man. I was just checking out the VIS site and i was really impressed. Cant wait to get some pics and info of my supra put up on there. I think thats awesome what you have done.

[Paradox]

cool, thanks man... if you get some pics, email em to me at parad0x@shaw.ca same goes to any other supra owners on the island who would like to be a part of it.

i feel the urge to do a re-design of the site fairly soon :crazy:

[Slate 85GTS]

No problem, i will be sure to send you some pics as soon as i get some. I wanna do a little work to the car before i take pics of it anyways lol But yes definately count me in :D

[Enraged]

i gotta update my info.... cant really have Konis and the TEMS Full Firm mod haha

[NashMan]

yae mine is out of date too

[lil wicks]

I want to remove the side body molding crap. It looks like ass, but i don't want to have the huge indent all the way around the car.... What can i do/use to fill it or whatever, not including bondo :p

[Paradox]

you mean shaving the side panels?

have to bondo it, repaint, etc.. but they you have to worry about parking lots and people slamming their doors into your car causing never ending scratches.

[lil wicks]

what about fiberglassing??

[Enraged]

only way to do it to make it last is to weld strips of steel in, then grind it down to shape, bodyfiller, prep, etc. too much work for somthing that doesnt look all that great. if you have an 86.5 to 88, buy some 89-92 style side mouldings, they are thinner, and if you paint them bodycolor you wont even notice them.

[lil wicks]

do u know of any were i could get the side mouldings

[Slate 85GTS]

I thought the side body moulding gave the supras some character myself, but what do i know right? lol

[lil wicks]

yea i dont mind it but all mine is coming off so i wanted to do something about it. got any ideas???

[Enraged]

www.supramania.com or www.supraforums.com , both have for sale sections. theres also online junkyards (noone local has supra stuff, and if they do, its generally crap), the Buy Sell and Trade that they sell at gas stations, etc.

[Slate 85GTS]

About the only choice you have is to replace it with some moulding that is in decent shape, otherwise like you said you will have to strip the old stuff off and refill it which is going to look bad in the end anyways.

[NashMan]

ok time for scare time

all new molding for our cars is drum roll plz about 1500 bucsk for it and the 86 to 88 modling is the most exp but i don't remmber if the 86 stuff is 1500 or the 89 molding

as for shaven side modles the only way is welding or it will look like ass taken it all off lookes liek as as well

[Enraged]

the other + of 89-92 mouldings is they are plastic backed, not metal backed, so they will never rust and deform like the 86.5-88 mouldings.

colormatched 89-92 mouldings are on my list of things to save for. already have an 89-92 wing, just need the tails and the mouldings.... oh ya, and maybe get rid of the damn sawblades haha

[NashMan]

baaa you need new lower lip again supra look liek ass wiht out them i think well the 88's do

[Enraged]

ya, i was thinking of building my own lip eventually, not high on my priority list though.

[NashMan]

how you goig to do that filber glass

i fyou have your old one still you can take heatr gun to it or hair dryer the stuff bend back easy if you have hot hair dryer or heat gun

[Paradox]

why not just paint match the moldings you have already?

my car came with color matched moldings from the factory and i love it, i think they should have made more this way. but i think it was just for the white package cars....

[Paradox]

well im up in parksville now, and holy mother of god... Toby you should start a sprint club up here. :lol those damn cars are EVERYWHERE.

i walked like 2 blocks and saw 3 of em, not to menton the ones on the highway... wtf? :confused:

[NashMan]

lol it just there so far away from the gas stions so they have ot get cars that are good on gas

[Enraged]

laugh all you want at my sprint, but i just went 240 km for $9 and change.

[Paradox]

and i went 2kilometers with 9 bux in the supra

well worth it.

jk... i need a daily driver so bad :(

[NashMan]

baaa fuck it when you drive the supra there is nothign to play wiht but when you are in some other car there is some thign funt6o lay wiht only when yu don't have you car that si wiht me i guesss ps i am drunk

[Paradox]

wtf ryan?

i can gain some massive mileage thanks to my v1 meter. woot woot

[Enraged]

buy a beater, they are great!

either buy a sub-$500 car, or an over-$5000 car, becuase in between $500-$5000 is alot of crap.... buy your moms 240!

[Paradox]

i dont get how 500-5000 is complete crap, but yeah.. a beater is needed, im not sure i can afford to drive the supra all the time anymore, specially when my insurance is going to be like 10x as much :(

[Enraged]

my theory is basically if a car is sub$500, you know exactly what your getting. from $500-$5000, its risky, becuase people will do cheap fixes to sell the car for a few more bux, and in Victoria, they usually ask way more than the car is worth....

ya, sucks about your insurance. did you have a discount before? right now, i have 35%, if i get into an accident, it will drop down to a 5% discount i think... once your a Road Star level 3 or something, you can get into 2 accidents at 100% your fault and you can still have a small discount left... its nuts....

on another note, my electric exhaust cutout arrived today. pretty cool, not much use for it right now though...

[Paradox]

i still want to trade exhausts, once i have a license.

and well, i had a total discount before, 6 years worth. i think at 5 years you loose that new drivers percentage shit.

i never claimed my car to ICBC tho, not that it really matters, not much damage and i plan to swap the bumper anyways. but the insurance company will see what happened and charge me up the ass for sure. bah.

[Slate 85GTS]

ICBC sucks, right now im paying a 55% surcharge. One more year of accident free driving and im back to the 0% baserate though. I just hate paying so much for insurance though.

WTF is up with parksville and sprints?!?!

swear to god everyone second person owns one.

[Enraged]

well if you didnt claim it, it shouldnt be a problem....

whenever you want to swap exhaust, let me know... gotta fix the car, build the DP, install the cutout.... save for a clutch....

[Paradox]

well neither of our cars have insurance. haha

i plan to insure mine a bit early i figure, get friends to drive it a bit and have it run down to do some tranny work again (just a check to make sure everythings in order) and then have my steering aligned. etc


but yeah, sometime in march perhaps we could swap if thats cool.

[Enraged]

whenever, supras off the road until march 28th at least, maybe longer. the sprint is probably goin to stay insured year round, and just insure the supra for june, july, aug, and maybe sept if i have the $$.

[NashMan]

all never under stand this cut out thing it don't do jack excetp sound like ass and make the insaid of you car smell like exhuast in the cabin

but what do i know

oh yae cut out are not aloud by law even if you just use it fro track day's

buddie got safty about 1 mouth ago and had to get his removed
he has an chevy cormro ss 4 inc cut put for hsi headers so he chould loose his turq for when he draged

[NashMan]

oh yae i may be changeing my exhuast soon to 3.5 inc half way back maby 4 inc

so 3 inc to 3.5 or 4 then to the n1 that has 3 inc inlet and in side of 4 inc so it will be pretty cool if i change it

ps this is not for power just sound power will not change in any way

[Paradox]

type slowely...... so we can understand.....

[Slate 85GTS]

Nashman, why would you want to change your exhaust to 4", thats huge! Might make it sound cool but is it even going to fit underneath the car without bottoming?

[NashMan]

yae it whould fit it sound cool thou but i weighting on vid chip from a buddie of mine who has 4 inc exhuast wiht an n1 so i see if i liek it

again it just sound thing it suppost to be liek low as hell

[Slate 85GTS]

Ya ive gotta admit i love deep, low toned sounding cars... well let me know if you go thru with it, id like to hear it.

[NashMan]

we will see the funny part is i will most likly ending up doing it to be diffent

[Enraged]

since im going with a smaller exhaust (2.5") and might be putting the cat back in, ill need a cutout to get more power...

and anything over 3" is a waste of money IMHO... but you know that there wont be performance gains, so thats good. at least you dont think it will net you more power....

if you want to be different, build dual exhausts haha

[Slate 85GTS]

Originally posted by Enraged

Haha ive seriously thought about that! Im going to be building my own exhaust system at work so ive thought about doing duals just for kicks. I havent really decided either way though?

[Enraged]

dont, you'll be passing the piping under the gas tank... which i personally dont think is smart...

also, its an inline 6, no point in having it aside from looks, therefore rice IMHO....

[legally blonde]

Im with you on that one YBOT

[Enraged]

so tell your boy not to build dual under teh gas tank of that 626 :)

[Enraged]

on another note, im at school right now, waitin for the bus... and i need a drink.. *sigh*

[Slate 85GTS]

haha not necessarily, i mean i havent actually been under an MK3 supra yet but when i thought about it i figured i could run two pipes side by side right to the back of the car in the stock location and then run one of the pipes parellel to the rear bumper under the car so that it goes from one side to the other right at the back. But then you run into mounting your muff. Haha, oh well it was basically just a fun thought. But it would be cool.

[Enraged]

alot of extra piping, the cost of a second muffler, no performance gain. pure and simple rice, just like dual exhausts on a god damn CRX.

[Paradox]

doesnt lamarossa have dual exhaust on his?

that'd be enough reason not to do it right there :p

[ness_71]

Originally posted by Slate 85GTS

Ew, no. I agree with Enraged about the inline thing. Shoulda bought a Z you Toyota-whore. :P

[Enraged]

yup... i wish someone would burn that car to the ground...

[Slate 85GTS]

ok people, it was just a thought, no need to freak out :p

[Enraged]

no freakin out... besides, a nice 3" exhaust with a decent muffler will sound good and flow just fine...

[legally blonde]

come on YBOT you know my boy you cant tell him anythign he dont want to hear ... haha :P

[Slate 85GTS]

Originally posted by Enraged

I know, i am going to just do single 3" exhaust anyways. Ive got all the crap to do it at work. Now its just a matter of getting the car here, getting it running, then starting the fun stuff :D

[Enraged]

make it all stainless and TIG it hehe

hey ryan, can you weld aluminum yet?

[Slate 85GTS]

Originally posted by Enraged

Hmmmm, stainless would be nice?? lol awful expensive though

[Paradox]

my downpipe is stainless..... looks so yummy... err it used to

[Slate 85GTS]

Ya i might make my downpipe stainless, that is affordable, but the whole system would be crazy expensive. Mind you i saw some guy that came into work and bought a stainless dual system for his 5.0 mustang that we put on for him, i think it was about 3000 bucks he said, all bolt on though from flowmaster i think?

[NashMan]

hello all


boy i had a fun day today it was under hell

i had to make room for the lager pipeing so i had to chop some of the power streeing pump bracket, but the kicker is i ha dor realoagte the pump form one sideof the powerstrign pump but i had to saw off the resvore case it waas connected ot the pump it selfs and rewleded it on the other sid eof the pump meal recvoer atacked to each other we got new hose hose and stuff as well i had weld in braket it kinda kick it sweet shit and the down pipe it to drool for all nice free flow bends to stright pie .

the down pipe is 2.5 and then it has nice flex in it then a flange to 3 inc pipeing then to raven muffler form midas , eh not my choise thou i whould have whent with flow master to tip i will make for it if chris lets me he want to go for the sleep look but his car will be loud but a nice loud if the muffer does not sound like shit

bust alot has beand doone down pipe is all cut ot shape and tacked and the exhuast will be runing under the gas tank ,,,don't worry his gas tank is mealt so nothing will happend plus his gas tank is just befor the front of his rear wheel so it ok to run there

any reson why you should not run under the tank is it's plastic or platice coded to meatle like supra and some other cars as well


any ways i goig ot bed got alot fo work to do tommrow to try to make it at julies and meet her panets at 5



ps we zap straped a litte stuff aniaml to his grill he look like's his seat belted in and stuff looks sweet anways chow

[Enraged]

haha sounds cool, you should get some pics, we can make you a website!

*listening to Pumpkins: Machina of Hate, the last good album i bought before "new" music turned to utter garbage.*

[NashMan]

well i got pics of the down pipeand the custom braket and and power streeing pump relocato to one otehr side of the pump it self. i will post em when i get em off my bro

but it turbo out pretty dame good the felex we are useing does not like the mig much even on it losest setting cause the flex steel is alot thiner thenthe piping it self so it can be pain to weld some time 's

any wya back tot eh car

[Paradox]

ryan, what did you do to get your car started again before, after christmas when it wouldnt turn over??

i just tried my car, and either the batteries dead or something else is wrong. the starters not even turning, yet my stereo works and alarm is still funtioning properly

ahh and ive found way more rat evidence.. fuck

[Enraged]

loose connection in the starter?

[Paradox]

yeah, gonna check that after i attempt to jump start it

[Enraged]

well if your radio and alarm turn on, its not the battery....

[Paradox]

i dunno, last time my battery died, i could still run my stereo..


but then again last time i had a crappy ground on the coil packs

[islandsupra]

My car died over Christmas too. I tried jumping it, but it didn't work because the batttery was too drained.
I charged for a couple hours, then tried again. The stereo and lights worked, but the car wouldn't start, wouldn't even crank. I charged it overnight and it was fine after that. If you have access to a charger I'd suggest just charging it overnight to see what happens.
Hopefully it's just something simple like that! I'd check connections to the starter itself too. Hope you get it all figured out!

[Paradox]

yeah, pretty sure its just the battery, it wouldnt be the first time. specially in this cold weather.

i havent run my car for like two+ weeks, im not usually this bad about not doing so.

figure im gonna need a new battery soon, too. arggh

im going to check starter wiring just to be sure, because im pretty sure i can get it running with a jump

[Slate 85GTS]

Well if you can get it going with a jumpstart then it means it has nothing to do with your starter. It means either your battery is pooched, or your battery is just dead because your alternator hasnt been charging it. Try jumping it, and if it fires up put a voltmeter on your battery and make sure you have 13.5 - 14.5 volts going thru. If you dont then you know its alternator time.

[Paradox]

altnerator is good, otherwise the dummy lights would be on.

it flashes basically every dummy light telling you so when such happens.

right now since ive done nothing but look at the car, im guessing battery or starter wiring.

went through the TSRM, just to orientate myself incase i need to do some more wiring.. so i figure im good to go as soon as theres a nice day to work on the car

[NashMan]

the reson why it is not starting

is this you bat is to low in oder to crank the motor you need to re deep charge it once you try to start it a big lod of current will be wanting to be used but there not eghough voltage to turn the car over ebut every thgin els will work fine



the prob i had is not what you are haven


or the cable to starter wires is all gumb up and needs ot be clean

main grounds have broek or come loose or just all croded


easy way to cheak for alt i just take take the cenntor's off the bat hook up jumper cables to the + and - cables goign to your car give the other car some gas and styart the other one up

then just take the power away form the other car if it still runs wiht no hickups when you rev it then you are fine


that and fuse there fun

[Paradox]

looking from the engine bay down, where are the starter cables in the engine bay?

im not about to get underneath my car in this shit ass weather...

[Paradox]

http://users3.ev1.net/~hmillerjr/starter/

not exactly what i was looking for, but a good generalization....

http://users3.ev1.net/~hmillerjr/starter/full/stblock07.jpg

and if the jump start fails, i guess i'll be after the relay...

http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/st/ST_12.html

(hehe sorry basically posting this info for myself incase i need it and cant find it later) :P

[Paradox]

jump start worked.

done deal. nothing wrong with the starter wiring... but jesus was the battery ever dead, my gauges wouldnt even come on today

[legally blonde]

yup you were just trying to drive your rc car but it whould not drive but the streeing still worked in your case that is you prob

cheak you water level and deep charge it after that find if you hvae some thing grounnding out and draining you batter


easy way it pull the + off put ti back on if it sparks you got some thign grounding out ect this is when everyt thign is off kiddies

[Paradox]

no sparks

it runs

woo

[NashMan]

good good alls i gonna need now is fuse pod i may just by pass it thou and make it in diffent place

Glad to hear the jumpstart worked for you, i was pretty sure it was nothing to worry about. But i would still make sure to check that your alternator is charging, its quick and easy and could lead to why your battery died in the first place. Just my 2 cents.

[Paradox]

i think the battery is just dying cuz im not driving the car lately.... its been sitting for about a year.. alternator should be good if i was actually driving the car somewhat often

[NashMan]

it's all done yae me and turned out pretty good too he has about 4 inc of clearns ont eh lowest part of hsi exhuast

[Enraged]

well, payed off the last of my bills, now its time to start saving for.... something?

basic to do list:
1) figure out and fix problem on the supra
2) build DP, swap exhaust
3) clutch

looks like ill be insuring the sprint for a year ($600), and making the supra the summer car... im hoping to have it insured from may - sept if i have the $$, or at least june - aug...

[NashMan]

you still have my felx you litte bugger

[lil wicks]

does anyone have an air intake manifold for an NA that they want to sell to me?

[Enraged]

Originally posted by NashMan

ya well, i guess you'll have to help me make the DP to get half of it back, eh? hehe

and ryan, im buyin that NA intake mani you have, so dont even THINK about sellin it to him haha (no offense lil wicks)

[NashMan]

well who ever get's the cash to me gets it pretty much plus you just need the runner toby


and you have one of thous on your car and plus he doe snot need all of it but i have had this thing for about 2 years now i just wana get rid of it

[Enraged]

hmm, ya i might just get the lower runners from you....

[NashMan]

if i am right the bolt to the intake mafold rather then boltign the the runners them selfs so he may nto need the lower runner

[Enraged]

can you weld aluminum yet?

[NashMan]

i have ot buy the adptor but i kinda hard on cash latly so it will ahve to weight on that all get it when i get a job

[lil wicks]

ryan i will buy the intake manifold just tell me how much and i will give u the cash

[NashMan]

deal give me a call some time today

[NashMan]

and then wiht what you have left you can give to toby as in your old one ro soe thgin

[lil wicks]

ok whats your number

[NashMan]

so just give you old manfold to enraged so he cna do his project

[Enraged]

yes please! haha

[lil wicks]

can do
i will get around to it soon hopefully this weekend

[NashMan]

but you will still have to get my lower runner form me thou or it will not work caus ei thinknt he lower run is tad difftetn

[Enraged]

i started cutting apart my stock intake mani today.... and boy is my arm tired. i just have one more cut to make, and then i can start cleaning up the flanges and building and forming the sides...

and ryan, i couldnt beleive it when i read this! congrats! http://ryan.demetrioff.swellserver.com/news/top_stories/outwithbang.php

[NashMan]

cuttign ti apart no going back now big man you better hope it works and you got you isc vavle and stuff in working oder or you will have some nasty revs and car will run like ass wiht greddy emage and sfac you can get by this that ro stand alone any ways good luck

[Enraged]

ive talked with Dr J and Ron (jt2ma71) about it, and you dont need the isc. without it, the car will idle at over 1000 rpms, but aside from that, there is no sideeffects...

and i still have my stock one on the car, the one im cutting apart and rebuilding was a spare i bought for cheap.

[TouringTeg]

ah so this thread is still alive :)

saw a very nice kit on a red mk3 supra at interurban camosun. me likes

[Enraged]

ya, nice girl drives it, last time i talked to her she worked at McDs in Royal Oak...

are you taking classes at Interurban?

[Paradox]

why get rid of the ISC?, it can be relocated, just get a longer length of coolant hose

[Enraged]

its not needed, and i would have to make a new flange for it

[TouringTeg]

yep I've got some business classes there doing business admin now. ooo you got a mk3 supra nice!

[Slate 85GTS]

Yup i sure did!! :D Its pretty cool, not too fond of the color though, but apparently it grows on you lol. We'll see. I bought it as a bit of a project but hopefully it will all come together alright. I have to get it running (wiring issues but ive got a good idea as to the problem) and while i have it all apart im going to put the upgraded head gasket in just because its apart anyways, and we all know how well these old head gaskets hold up lol right... But ya, all in all im happy with it. Should be fun. You will have to come over and check it out sometime.

[lil wicks]

there is no idle

[Slate 85GTS]

Just stalls out?? does it even try to idle at all before stalling?

[lil wicks]

well i have made it try to idle but it only idles for like 2 sec so it doesn't really idle.

[Paradox]

check your throttle position sensor, and clean your idle speed sensor

this is ofcourse if you've already tried new spark plugs, wires, checking the timing, checking for vacuum leaks... all the usual stuff

[Enraged]

indeed

someone fix my car

mmmmm tequila

/dies

[NashMan]

yae oe day mabye some time durning this week i will drop in and give you a hand if you want it

but yae you still have to reajust your tps cause you are suppost to mark it when you take it off and still then you some time have to reajust it and there very twekchy

have you put on the manfold yet

[NashMan]

hehehe i can't weight tell the ic is in right now i make pretty looking then i monte tommrow

[lil wicks]

i am going to put the intake manifold in on sunday or sat night if i get time. i will phone u some time this week and we can figer out a time to do it

[Slate 85GTS]

Originally posted by lil wicks

Check for vaccuum leaks first, you can usually hear a vaccuum leak if its that bad, but if not then you can always use acetylene or propane or anything for that matter, even brake cleans works if you spray it around. All you want to do is spray or bleed this stuff around the engine around vaccuum lines and suspicious areas and see if your engine rpms come up at all... even if you have to have someone hold the throttle open a tiny bit so it will idle, the rpm will still increase when its enriched with the gas or solution you are spraying around. That should pinpoint it fairly well. If no vaccuum leaks are found then i would check and adjust your TPS. These both cost you nothing but time and are the more likely causing of rough or no idling.

[Paradox]

propane? :eek:

[Slate 85GTS]

yeah, we use it at work quite often, because we have a little portable propane tank, its easier than dragging the oxy/acet torches over. We often use it to check if a MAF sensor is out to lunch by giving it a sniff of propane. Its fine as long as your careful with it, it only takes a little bit as with the acetylene as well.

[Paradox]

no cigar trick? ;)

[NashMan]

meh finding a vac leak is easy just use teh back of you hand just slip you hands down the cav line that usly does the trick and if you can feel it then that si nto a big prob



tommrow the ic will be in muahhahahaha

I dont actually know what you would want to call it lol, its like a greyish brown, definately more brown kinda metallic. Its hard to explain. Apparently the color grows on you, so im gonna give it a chance anyways. But ya we should get together sometime, you can check out the car, havent seen you in awhile, would be cool. What is everyone referring to about the sigs???? I must be slow i dont see it?
