Thank you, I've sent them an email. I really love your Supra, just saw your whole built. You made me consider a Ridox bumper with the small lip

Can you give more details? And pics maybe?

Hi there. I'm planing to do put some Ridox replica parts on my 1994 Supra. I want front a Ridox bumper with splitter, and side skirts extensions. I've checked on Garage Whifbitz, but Grams style seems a better option as prices are lower. What do you guys think about Grams? I live in Romania so I can't just see them before I buy them. What other better options are there?

@Chris Wilson Can't thank you enough for your help. You've been a real help for me! Fortunately I have a spare set of turbos who are in good condition and i've replaced the cracked one. But both of the turbos have radial play (more than acepted in the manual ofcourse )

Sorry for not posting for a long time. Thanks for your reply. @Chris Wilson we talked on email a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately I dont live in UK so you can't help me with the hardness test. I just found out the previous owner had overheating issues before (he didn't told me, I just found out in an old thread) so I guess that's why he sold the car a bit under the market price Now, that I studied the engine bay I saw a lot of wires and pipes that became hard because of the ovearheating over the years. This is how my head looks after being skimmed, those damaged water ports must be from runing water and not coolant i guess. My fear is that he has done the same thing as I want to do and there is a problem with the head. Is it possible that the headgasket was changed before? Could this be oem from factory? it has a hole in it and it looks exactly like the one I ordered, check my pics. I spoke to many mechanics who rebuild engines and they said the water ports are not so bad...well... Anyway I am very dissapointed. I've spend 400 euros just on the tickets to UK for a Supra that overheats. This happened in april 2017 and I drove the car back to my country, about 2500 km and it didn't overheated. It started to overheat when it became very hot outside, middle june. From the history of the car (the previous owner kept a jurnal) It seems that in 2014 changed radiator, water pump and thermostat. So I am guesing that's when it started to overheat. I also saw in his repair manual the following chapters and text marked: turbos, headgasket torque sequence, oil sump, cooling... I must be a detective to find out what happened before Overall, the car needed a refreshment because there where many pipes and wires that had to be changed, many seals and stuff to replace and clean. Merry Christmas guys!

It was warped 0,15 mm. Should I put a headgasket thicker by 0,15 which means 1,45? Stock has 1.3mm and I think mine it's original, it doesn't have any marks

UPDATE I removed the crank pulley and find out that the tensioner was jammed. I took the head from the repair shop and they told me they've cut 0,15 mm and my question is, what headgasket should I use? thanks.

Could you please help me with his email? I can't find it anywhere

[quote name='Dnk']Doesn't need to be specialised, any engineering shop with a vertical mill like a bridgeport turret mill can do it, if you don't know how hot its really got then a hardness test is also a good idea. Contact Chris Wilson on here, use his email though as he doesn't use the pm system[/QUOTE] I will contact him, but why? I dont live in uk, how he will help me?

The head will be checked for flatness at specialized workshop. Should I also test it for cracks? I dont know if the aftermarket temperature gauge is reading good but water as boiling and coming out through the pipe from the expansion tank.

Hi. I am having some issues with my Toyota Supra and I want to get your opinion on this. -1994 Toyota Supra Auto jdm tt mostly stock -full decat, stock twins, k&n air filter, no major mods I had an overheating issue, I was new to Supras and overheated the car couple of times. I had an aftermarket temperature gauge who who showed more than 210 F but the original one never got past middle. I took the car to a mechanic who told me that the radiator cap was not holding pressure at all. I asked him to check the water pump and timing belt, he said all was fine. After this, I drove the car for a couple of months (it worked fine) and after it sat all winter. The car worked fine this year but the coolant started to get browny and couple of km after it started to ovearheat again. Coolant was dissapearing, there was a strange smell from the exhaust and the hoses didnt had pressure. As soon it overheated again I didn't drove it. Overheating occured especially when the car was sitting in traffic and had a slightly improvement at an open road. So I bought a blown headgasket tester (that thing with the blue liquid) and it seemed that I had exhaust gases on my coolant. So i took the repair manual and started to dismantle everything. BIG SURPRISE....the camshaft pulleys where not at the sign, they where with a teeth to the left and the belt was loose ::( I didnt got to the tensioner because I have to remove the crankshaft pulley first. Still, the car worked fine, it started fine and it only had a strange rattle when idling. ***The car was never raced, abused and i never did burnouts or things like that. So why did this happen? because of the wrong timing? Or the gasket was damaged from the previous overheating? Also,the headgasket shouldn't have any signs of damage? visibile one? I couldn't see one. Should I worry that gases get in water from another spot? I took the head to a specialised repair shop but they can't test it for cracks, should i test it somewhere else? Is it possible to have a damaged head? And if you have any other suggestions or tips about the headgasket replacement I am happy to read them ;) here are some pictures : [video]https://youtu.be/D5aC6bHhQwY[/video]

Hi. I am having some strange sounds frome the engine. It happens mostly when I start the car. Do you have any ideea what could it be? Car is 94 tt auto Supra with minor modifications, BPU stange. Here is a video:

Trac fuse is there. MANU worked when I bought the car but after a winter it stopped working and I also have no manu light in my dash. O/D works fine, car works fine and I dont anything flashing. Car is BPU stage, jdm, has a Greedy speed cut controller and factory slip control. I checked B2 and B13 connection on the coupler that goes to the gauges but nothing.

Have you figured out your problem? My TT Auto has the same issue, manu button wont work or light up

So you had the same problem and a "new" ecu did the job?

I live in Romania and people of all ages stare at and some of them ask silly questions like: -Is it a diesel? -What's the fuel consumption? -it's the 2jz version? -it's for donuts, right? Also other drivers flash me or try to race me, but of course I never answer to this. I used to leave my dash camera on, at first for curiosity to see what happens when I leave it parked but now I leave it for safety. Here is a video with some best captions that I filmed:

Quick update, it was a cracked hose...now it does 1.1 bar, i guess it's fine Also 0-60 is 5.2 seconds measured with "drag racer" app on android Supra bpu auto

I cleaned the plugs from the igniter and now it works fine

Have you found the problem? I have the same issue, at first it happened time to time but now the tachometer is dead. Also my my ancient hks turbo timer doesnt show rpm(it did before).

it's the one from Whifbitz, so i am guessing 2 inch

What was your problem? My Supra is full decat and still doesnt go more than 1 bar

Tonight mine got the same blinking )

I finally solve this problem! thank you guys! After I dismountet the pipes from the turbos and checked EGBV, wastegate and all the vsv I found no issue, so I', guessing it was that rubber pipe from the pic above which restricted the air. It was a all day work but I least I got the satisfaction in the evening! The previous owner gave me a big blue folder and I learned how the sequential system works. Here are some pics to help others:
