Supra Mark 4. Twin turbo auto 1993 Decat 3" pipe greddy boost controller. Approx. 100,000 mi Problem, when in drive will not rev above 3,000 RPM so is pretty sluggish, 2nd turbo never spools up. Will not go into overdrive, overdrive light intermittently flashes, warning triangle occasionally comes on, no odb1 fault codes when shorting test link. Car had not been used for around 6 months, as usual it started on first turn of the key, took it out for a Spin. Seemed to be in some sort of limp mode then started running really rough. Discovered one of the spark plugs, denso ik22 cylinder one, was faulty so replaced. Back firing on all 6. I pulled boost pipe from inlet manifold and revved it, getting boost pressure so at least one turbo is okay. Put in fresh fuel and injector cleaner. Took it out for another spin, this time holding it in low gear, and revving it gets past 3K RPM and into hyperdrive, a peak reading of 1.04 bar on the greddy. I assume that this must be the ECU as auto fluid is nice and clean, I never had a problem with the box and the car was okay when I put it away 6 months ago. Do readers think I'm correct in this assumption or have I missed something? Does anyone have a good ECU I can loan rent buy before I take the old one out, take it apart and check the caps. Don't want to risk buggering it up without a spare. Many thanks in anticipation [email protected]

Anyone had any luck getting a spare key cut and programmed ? This remote works fine on my car but I've changed the locks so have to carry two keys, and no spare remote Can it be done or has the white heat of technology pased me and my key by?

Depends on how deep the UV damage is, how long they have sat in the sun and whether the insides are clear, some won't polish up well at all, I know I have been there. Also when polished they need to be coated with a UV resistant coating or they cloud over again in 6 months. Why I want to do this when I have a pair of new Glass ones is a mystery its nearly as daft as chroming all the bits in your engine bay

Its the one with the bonnet release and what looks to be a diagnostic socket. The clips at the top are brocken on mine Cheers Steve

I'm after a pair for a project , dont care about the state of the plastic fronts as these will be discarded but need the cases and internals to be reasonably serviceable. Cheers Steve

I'm interested, where abouts in the West Mids are you ? Steve

A trip down to the local casualty dept ?

Where abouts are you, i can pick up if you're central/west london Cheers Steve

It looks a lot like an updated Supra in the flesh, my lad thought it looked cool. Pity it hasn't got the 400 bhp it deserves! He prefers the Bugatti Grand Sport - a snip at 1.5M

Went to the Geneva motor show Saturday and for me this was the most interesting thing!

I have 2 sets of trimmed I bought from Suprattgaz on his last manufacturing run, never got fitted still in the original packing. I bought some UK headlights and my mate could never be arsed to pay me and pick them up ! £65 a pair UK P+P free Steve

I'll take them! Where abouts in Staffs are you? I have folks in the midlands so could probably pick em up next time I visit. Steve

Oh dear, does it help if it makes a sucking noise? I suppose its similar to having a blow off valve that makes a farting noise when you change gear. [GRIN][/GRIN] If only I could persuade my wife that my snoring and farting is the side effect of some wonderful performance modification !

Turbocharged engines do not have much of an induction roar due to the presence of the little fans and all the pipes and intercoolers. It's more like a wheasey hoover sound noticed this at Le Mans as the TDI Audi's go past, makes sense when you think about it! I'm more a pikey than a chav !
