I want it...but i just had to pay a speeding ticket...maybe if i can get caught up this week i will snag it if fireman doesn't

Alright i have a set of michelin power race tires that are brand new. front 120/70/17 and a rear 190/50/17. Front is the Medium and the rear is the Medium soft compound. Still have the stickers and feelers on them. Best offer.

p-mail sent! (prayer mail) Hope everything goes well.

Thanks Schmuck

Depends. If the head hasn't been baked to hell and back you should be able to surface the face. The head has to be smooth' date=' flat and within thickness tolerances. If not, you'll have nothing but problems. Also, the face of the block is important. If it's had the shit beat out of it you're kind of up stream without a paddle.

I bought a JDM engine from a company in New York for $1400. It had about 40K miles on it. You may want to go that route.

Here's one place to look into...

I was looking at the other engines they have and i saw a twin turbo from another supra, have you had any experience dropping a different engine in 1990 or similar?

Just....wow......

I might take you up on that offer. We'll see what happens when we tear into it and what resources my friend has available, but I do believe we'll need a machinist.

Yes, it has everything except the leather interior. Also...anyone know a reputable shop that i can trust this to?

At this point i'm just going to keep the car stock...Its a nice car and i want to keep it in the family, my uncle loves the car to death but he has a mental block about spending any more money on it. He's also not the best with the mechanics of cars. Like i said he babied the car. I might just by a new engine, but i would have to sell my 99 Wrangler. That is a money pit right there, i have the choice of dropping two grand on the Jeep to get it fixed, or spending possibly the same amount on the supra and having essentially a brand new car...hrmmmmm

So I've heard...if it's done right will it stop going through gaskets?

ah....note taken.

As far as i know the head has not been resurfaced, and AA said the head was fine, but neither my uncle or I trust what they say for shit. So the list right now is....

Cracked or warped head

oil cooler

overboost from the turbo

bad spring or similar to cause the wastegate to stick

miss anything?

Thanks

It has a boost gauge stock, and i have not driven it. It has been sitting for three years now because last time it had a problem it overheated. Our family mechanic took a quick look and told him the same thing, probably a head gasket. He had it towed to his shop and when they started it up it smoked up the whole shop with the oil/coolant mix and he hasn't cared to fix it since then.

1990 Toyota Supra Turbo

90,000 miles

extremely clean exterior and interior

brand new hydraulic clutch, tires, other stuff

Driven very easy

Anyways I'm buying this car from my uncle for $1000. It's a great car but the engine keeps going through head gaskets or something of the sort. Problem is that coolant keeps on getting into the oil and the engine. Also there is an oil leak somewhere, which could be the same problem. My uncle spent close to 12 grand trying to fix this problem through Tansky and AA engine service and they completely screwed him over. Through the fine print they were justified, but they told him different from what the paperwork said.

Anyways, point is my mechanic friend thinks that the problem might be the type of head gasket but it could be something major. Does anyone have any experience with these supras or have any good advice?

My brother has one of the bioboxes and it works really well, small enough keep in the car or next to the bed, and also large enough to keep a full loaded XD and two mags comfortably. Nice thing is it also has a keypad backup. Problem is it's a little noisy.
