Did this ever get resolved? This sounds like the exact issue I am currently having. Will post symptoms of my issue in a different thread so I can provide more details.

Ok, checked compression and in doing so checked the coloration on the plugs as well. Found something interesting. As seen in the picture album in the following link, plugs 2, 3, 5, and 8 are showing they have been run extremely hot while the others remain normal coloration. 2, 8 and 3, 5 are...

I'm over in Kalamazoo. Yeah if we would have known we could have set something up :)

Thanks for the tip Peewee! I tried this before tearing stuff down and only heard the fuel lines and ticking from the injectors. Another update, tore down the LIM and UIM again today and triple checked everything. Good news is I didn't leave any shop towels in the intake runners or openings...

Further troubleshooting results. Replaced the plugs this evening. At least one of the plugs was definitely bad. It's gap was way out and it appears the seal around the body had lost its integrity. I'll post pictures of them tomorrow. By the sound of it, I am not sure replacing the plugs fixed...

Ignitors haven't been touched but I was also thinking coil yesterday. Tested spark and it appeared to be fine for left side coil. Need to test the right side coil.

Well, looks like I was too quick to judge that there was a noticeable reduction in power. This morning when I got in the car to drive it to work it really did not have much power at all. Just kind of chugged along. Reminds me of when the spark plugs went bad in a previous car I had so I'll be...

The couple of leaks I have been dealing with over the past year, the power steering fluid leak up at the pump and the coolant leak at the front water bridge, have both been fixed. The power steering leak was coming from the o-ring located on the bracket on top of the pump (where the remote...

Just an update. The project was completed August, 2008. All of the details are in my build thread an on my web site listed above. The web site contains a few additional items such as full parts list with p/n, vendor, and price as well as a first draft of wiring mods done to hybrid the 7M...

The new balljoints and Megan Racing track-series coilovers were installed this past week. I started the installation on Wednesday after work and finally wrapped it up earlier today having put a little bit of time into the project each day between other commitments. I had to go out and purchase...

I've always loved the wingless look. Too bad even the wingless/turbo-less MkIV's draw a large price over here. Looking forward to reading your build thread!

For those around the Chicago and St. Louis area interested in seeing the car, I am trying to plan a last minute trip, barring weather and budget changes, to St. Louis for this weekend. Will be leaving Michigan around 7PM EDT on Friday, March 13 and arriving in the St. Louis area sometime after...

Hopefully he has the R154 in there. I wouldn't trust the W58 with that amount of power. Just like Jake and Chris, I have the 1UZ in my MkIII Supra as well and love it. It was taken from an SC400 which has the correct sump location so no need to swap the sumps from another engine. Also drives the...

Only reason I could think of for not reversing the pipes would be if the owner wanted to keep the PS pump and AC compressor in the original locations. BTW, nice engine mounts and tubular manifolds! Will there be an consideration into selling these items in the future? What year is the MkIII...

Winter is almost over, so time to start Phase II of the project which has now been changed to doing a suspension rebuild instead of adding forced induction. FI is being moved to Phase III. In that regard, I will be placing an order for the track series Megan Racing coilovers which will help to...

Got a nice surprise the other day when I logged into my Gmail account and a link to cbulen's project was listed at the top of my account where the news items and other links get displayed.

Also try SuperRunner on here. He runs some flywheel groups buys occasionally.

Yup, gauge only. I tried to fit the Autometer sensor and found its sensor body was too wide although the thread size was correct if I recall. Didn't bother tracking down whether or not Autometer had the correct size body, nor resize the hole especially once I found the stock sensor would work...

Anything is possible with enough money. If you can find the dimensions of the engine bay that is a good start on figuring if the engine wills sit in it with or without modification. BTW, nice widebody Opel!

On my 1UZFE from an SC400, the starter wire as a large, black wire which came out at the front of the engine on driver's side (USA). If the Supra wasn't in storage I'd take a look, however I have a picture that may help. The black wire in the harness in the picture is the starter wire...
