XtSupra

no sorry bro, I just got her like 2 or 3 weeks ago, and she just isn't looking good enough for pics yet all what I can tell you about her that she is red, lowred (actually too low for my taste), 3" turbo back exhaust system, HKS cams and cam gears, K&N intake, Greddy FCD, HKS SSBOV, Blitz 18 wheels, and sard boost and EGT gauges. things will happen to her in the near future. -paint job (not sure which color yet tho) along with new wing (not sure of its name, but it's the same one as Suprastar has) - redo the seats and door panels leather (2 colors, black and whaetver color the car will be painted with) once I am done with that, I will post some pics of her.

Ok, first of all, I am from the United Arab Emirates, and not United Arabian Emirates, so yes I see your point, but honestly you have no point. let me tell you why, the guy was referring to us as rich arabs where it should have been rich arabians, that's it really. oh and please let me answer your question with another question, who are you to tell me that I know too little about my culture!!! so yes you might have traveled to Egypt, UAE, or/and KSA, big deal, but that sure does not make you know more about my own culture than me now, does it. ok I will just leave it there. SonicSoop, I do actually have a sense of humor, but to me, that just went beyond funny, and if you find that hard to understand, then you probably should "get a life mate" and just for your information, I do have a life, a very nice one too RobSheffield, that's exactly what offended me. thanks for understanding, and yes you are right, I might have blown it a bit out off proportion, but trust me, you would if you were me, i mean hearing stuff like that from people that don't bother enough to educate themselves with other cultures simply pisses me off. k300xxx, your point is well taken bro. thanks nickyboy, I stand corrected. it's been too long since I have actually spoken/wrote English. Pig, your point is well taken too bro. and thanks for welcoming me. As for you Supra-Dupra, I am pretty sure if you knew there is an "arabian in da house" you would not have written your "light hearted comment" but thanks for the vids anyway, I have always heard of this website (redline) but i never took the time to see it. Dang, and I thought I had the best Supra in town, I guess not.

I am glad you did not mean to offend Arabs by saying the above; nevertheless I do find it very offending to be honest with you. Let me try to say this nicely (in your none-offending way) ignorant people like yourself will just never understand why certain people dress or speak the way they do. so I am not going to waste my time on that matter, but I can tell you this, if you find the way these people dress is funny, then I am sure you DO look funny to some people out there. Oh, does the word raciest mean anything to you this is a nice forum, and let's just keep it this way, making fun of other nations because of the way they dress, speak, walk, or act is just not going to help keeping this forum clean.

thanks a lot guys. Nic, you got an e mail

come on people, I guess everyone here buys their supra stuff localy then. thanks

I have been trying to find a decent shop that will ship internationally with no luck, well I found 2 shops (got them from here) but they would not quote me for shiping, they both promised to e mail me, but never did. I also e mailed another couple of shops and they would not even answer my mails what's wrong with these people I need to get a set of springs for my supra (either tein type H or any other kind that would drope my ride just a bit) I don't really care where this shop is located at, and if you guys know a shop that would accept credit cards that would be great, if not that's fine too since I can just wire them the money. any help would be appreciated thanks

dilocruzy not to steal your thread or anything, but what if I have the US specs? do I need an upgraded fuel pump? thanks

people will tell you it's not worth getting (won't add any HP untill you hit 600hp or so, and then it becomes benefecial) but to me, I just went ahead and did it anyway. yeah it has done nothing for HP, but now, I get the cool turbo sucktion sound that almost sounds like a whistle. I got K&N cone and mounted it on the other end of the maf sensor, it was an long K&N with 3" opening.

Chris, where are the filters located at? any tips on cleaning them, or does that mean I have to replace the power Rack? thanks

I am running 18" wheels. I could only think of 2 things, first, the last owner of the car switched one of the powersteering pipes with smaller ones which causes the fluid to chock somewhere and dries out the rack, or the fluid is just overheating. here is what I found out, while the car is standing still, and the revisor cap is off, and turnning the steering wheel right and left with the rpm at around 2k or so, the rack will make that anoying noise (dried out rack noise) and the fluid will spell out of the revisor, this happen in 1-2 minutes or so. so since raising the rpm while turning the wheels causes that, then I am leaning toward the idea of pressure build up somwhere which causes the rack to get no fluid and instead, the fluid gets spelled out of the revisor. thanks a lot for the reply Chris.

hello guys, I have a 95 TT MT supra and I have been having problems with the power stearing. it seems to me that's overheating or something. it would be fine for half an hour or so of driving then all of the sudden it will sound as there is no fluid in it, and when I open up the fluid revisor, the fluid looks like it's foaming or something (it becomes a very light pink color), and when I leave the car off for a couple of hours or so, it will be normal again. it's not leaking or anything, it just does that when I drive it for sometime. I am not sure wether this car comes with a power stearing cooler or not, at least I remember with my Eclipse, the power stearing had somesort of metal hose that mounts in front of the radiator, and too me that sure looked like a power stearing fluid cooler, do supras have the same thing, cause I am not sure if the last owner of the car decided to take it off for whatever reason. so sum things up - do Supras come with power stearing cooler? - and if not, do you guys think I am getting a leak somewhere that causes the fluid to foam up? - what else could you guys think of that might cause the fluid to foam up? any help would be appreciated. thanks

My Supra was purchased from the US, so it's US specs. here in UAE temps during these days are around 33C-36C during the day and 25C-29C at night. I would love to keep the boost at 1 bar since I do like to keep things closer to the safe side. the funny thing is, I think that the last owner of the car had that problem with the boost, and to solve it, he just unpluged one of the vacume lines in the intake manifold (dumb if you ask me) but I am glad the turbos survived that kind of ubuse (working too hard to pressurize the intake is what I mean), the reason why I knew that is because when I got the car it was not running right, I mean it was slower that it should, but I did not have any boost gauge to know for sure, but after adding a boost gauge, I knew I had a vacume leak somewhere (at idle I was getting close to 0 vacume), and I was right. I fixed the vacure leak and that was when I my boost went from max .6 bar to 1.1-1.3bar at higher gears which is a bit too high for my taste. man, I have been fixing a problem after another eversince I bought this car (5 days ago) I had to fix, Rad, power stearing pump and rack, window's motor, painting the hood, and some other minor stuff, but the moment I got this thing right as it should, all the pain I went through was well worth it. you guys are great. thanks

Jake, thanks alot for the PIC bro, so I guess I was right afterall. I will try to hook up the boost control and see if that help. Chris, thanks too bro, I do know that boost controler will never drope the boost below the WG spring's rate, I just think that the stock boost controller is not doing it's job as it should, I mean I might have a pressure leak or something that causes it to over boost, and this is why I wanted to try the boost controller that I already have before going into adding cats or putting the stock downpipe back on since I really don't have any stock exhaust parts for this car (bought it with aftermarket downpipe and catback) a question that I already asked eariler is, since most people agree on MAX safe boost with stock turbos, stock fuel system, and stock SMIC on a pump gas (92-93 Octane) is around 1.2bar , well I have FMIC and I run 98 octane gas, does that rule still applies to me, I mean does not running FMIC and higher octane gas allows you to run a bit more boost safely? and finally, where do you guys mount your EGT gauges, which runner is what I am looking for, or should I mount it on the downpipe right after the turbos? thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate the help.

I actually do have Greddy Profic B II installed, but the last owner had it unhooked, so I guess I will go ahead and install that. but let me go over the installation with you guys. I will have to unhook the 2 hoses going to the black stock thingy (V somthing or I would guess stock boost controller) and cap these 2 nipples, the hook one side of the controller to the top nipple of the golden WG and cap the bottom nipple on the WG, and hook the other side of the Greddy to the nipple on the Turbo's intake hossing (pressure line), and the rest I am sure I can manage. so simply I control the boost going from the Turbo's pressure side in the turbo's intake housing to the top nipple of the stock WG, and cap the bottom nipple on that WG. right? thanks for your help guys.

Hello guys, first I would like to let everyone knows that this is an awsome forum. anyway, I finally got myself a Supra (had none-turbo Eclipse and a Turbo GST Eclipse) my new toy is 1995 MKIV TT 6speed with stock turboes but some other mods (down-pipe,Apexi cat back,Greddy FMIC, Cams but not sure which kind since the previous owner never bothered to ask what brand were they, and AEM cam gears) this car sure needs some moinor work, but I am sure it will kick butt. so far the engine runs great but I think I am having a bit of a problem. my problem is, I am getting either boost creep, or my WG is just stuck shut. here is what happens, in first and second gear I get around 1 bar of boost, but at higher gears it will creep to 1.2 or 1.3. this is with no aftermarket boost controller connect, only the stock one. and since I am new to this car, and could not find a decent picture of how the vacum lines need to connect and or the stock boost controller needs to be hooked. so far I found the stock boost controller (the one close to the altenator) has to pipes going out of it, one goes to the bottom niple of the waste gate, and the other one goes to the metal piping on the top of the head and to the intake manifold. and if the stock boost controller and stock WG are working fine, that leaves me only with boost creep because of the down-pipe, catback, and K&N filter? could that be it. there is also a little WG or it just looks like a WG that's almost at the top of the engine closer to the fire wall on the passenger side, is that the second turbo WG? I am sure I read somewhere that these cars run olny one WG, but I could be wrong. and finally, how safe is it to run with 1.2-1.3 boost on stock fuel system along with 98 octane gas? I have EGT on the way, but untill it gets here, is it safe? oh, did I say finally, ok ok one last question, where is the best place to mount the EGT probe (which runner on the exaust manifold), and where is the easiest place to mount it at (downpipe seems easier than exhaust manifold, and if I mounted on the downpipe, what would be a safe temp to run at? thanks a lot guys, and sorry for the long post. any help would be greatly appreciated.
