  1. Also here is a picture, when i took off the intercooler piping, when it had the oil motor oil in it. Clean as whistle Then after i changed the motor oil, a week later i took off the intercooler pipe and noticed a very small amount of oil there which all of that oil was very black and my motor oil was clean as a whistle, and the oil that i found in there it wasnt even a cup full. I will take some time to take off the intercooler piping once again sometime this week to show the amount of motor oil in there
  2. thanks for the reply. Here is a picture of what i did. as u can see were the tip of that red bubble is pointing to the exhaust side PCV, my supra buddy told me to take off that hose, and install a small K&N air filter on it, and cap the other end. And so i did. I would like to say that since then i have noticed the oil in my airbox but i cannot be so sure about that, as i noticed that motor oil was in my air box couple months ago, i believe i noticed that a month after i put the little filter on the PCV, and i noticed accidentally while checking my air filter to see how clean it still was. I have also noticed that when the car arrived here in Canada from japan, it didnt burn a drop of oil, nor did it have any smoke at start-up as soon as i went to pick it up. as soon as i dumped the old motor oil out of the car, i noticed that there was smoke at start up, then month later noticed the oil in my airbox. I used Castrol 10W-30 Fully Synthetic is what motor oil is in the car currently. However with the old oil car didnt have any oil in the airbox ( and i drove it for a week with old motor oil) nor did it have any blue smoke at start-up with the old oil. Something fishy is going on with it
  3. same here i was thinking to change the ones in the fender for some clear ones, and the signal lights in the bumper upgrade them to 97' style ones. But i may sell the car, so no point in putting more money into it
  4. why did i find oil in my airbox? is that normal??
  5. nope, mine works perfectly, its automatic, and if i floor it and it drops a gear boosts fine, you can feel the kick from both turbo's. But this 2 step's got me wondering
  6. So today i was fooling around with my supra, and while making a video to trace a problem, i was revving it all the way to 6500rpms. My car is 93' TT auto, and its bone stock, nothing special on it. And while revving it, i noticed that i revved it once to 2500rpms, let off then revved it again and held on it, and the car was sitting at around 5500 rpms sitting there building boost, and then i let off and it revved to 6500rpms ( i didnt go past that). Is this an option on the JDM supra's or do i have an aftermarket ecu or something? or is something wrong with my car?
  7. Alright guys, here is the video me reving the car all the way to 6500 Rpms, i didnt see any trace of blue smoke in the video. Do you see any?? Its mainly the white condensation smoke.
  8. Hmm thats weird, because here in canada i can get around 6K for the car, and a TT 6 speed is about 8700K. So im not sure on what to do. I love the car, but i just want a 6 speed manual. how much is a 6 Speed V160 over there??
  9. hmmmm its problems have got me wondering. I was thinking to sell it as is, and get my self a 6 Speed supra. not sure i need some input
  10. what about me finding a puddle of oil in my air box?? wouldnt that be coming from the turbo's ??? I will make another video today, of my revving the car all the way to 6K just to make sure there is no oil coming out on acceleration or deceleration. Another thing i have noticed when i was changing the sparkplugs, is that someone else in Japan took off the valve covers for what ever reason. I wonder if they fixed the valve stem seals, or simply replaced the valve cover Seal.
  11. haha sorry i was referring mostly to the engine. And i like to drive my alot as well. Thing is here in Canada the winter season hits hard mid november, so it will tend to go in storage then. I just got the car in september it arrived in my city, so i didnt get much driving in from it, i put about 2K on it since i got it. Now it just sits in the garage all day until spring time
  12. hello, this problem has been bothering me ever since i have purchased this car. So my problem persists as following. Car is a TT JDM mkiv auto supra with 68 000 miles all original miles, bone stock absolutely no modifications what so ever to the car. So when i let the car sit for more than 3 days, it will have blue smoke when i first start it up cold, and it will go away after its done blowing it out. I made a video so click on it below to see it. Once the car has been started i can shut it off right away and it wont smoke again at start up. I let it warm up at idle and rev it all the way to 6K and there is no sign what so ever of blue smoke while revving and after i let off the gas pedal there is no blue smoke neither, when im driving the car and floor it all the way to 6K i have gotten my friend to follow behind me, while i stayed on it (hes got a supra as well) and his window was down, and he saw no trace of blue smoke, or any smell of blue smoke while i was accelerating and letting off. Yet i noticed that after 2 tanks of gas, it has burned 250ML of oil. If i let the car sit for 1 day and go to start it up cold there is no trace of blue smoke at start up. I have also took off the charge pipe for the intercooler and there was a small puddle of oil, but nothing crazy or dripping out. I took out my filter and noticed a puddle of oil in the air box, and noticed how the oil has dripped down the air box into the airbox were it formed a puddle. Here in the video your about to see is a very cold start up were the car has been sitting for 7 straight days un-touched and un-started, it was quite cold outside as well little bit below freezing. I am confused on what could be causing my blue smoke at start up. My two guesses is my turbo seals are going out, or its my valve stem seals, or its both. I need some input please
  13. hello guys, first off i want to say, that i got to know this forum much better, after people from Supraforums were linking me for DIY supra jobs here, so i figured there really must be some acknowledgeable supra owners here, who sometimes like to fix their car them selfes, like my self and save a bit of money. Anyways, i have a 1993 Supra Twin Turbo automatic (i know i know) its got 108 000 km's or 68 000 miles on it, truly a very clean car that has come out of japan, its amazing condition i would say in person, besides 3 really small dings, the car is just about perfect. the engine runs smooth, however its got some problems ( i made a new thread to help me solve those problems). It is a bone stock supra, nothing aftermarket on it, besides the turbo timer. I would say its a clean un-molested car. It even came with its original supra manual, and its original receipt of the price paid for it brand new in japan with all the options on it, and the total price of the car out the door in YEN, its also got a bunch of maintainance stickers done in japan, so i can tell the owner liked to take care of it. Here are some pics of my pile.
