Your starter sounds very different from mine. Yours sounds almost like a BMW V12's. Is it stock?

I sold them on eBay a while ago. I'm sorry. By the way, I love the "polse" dogs you can get at 7-11s in copenhagen. very very delicious.

Can you pull a spark plug to see if it's wet, or fouled?

Well, in any no-start situation we have the three main things to check: Air, fuel, and spark.

Hey look, dual-purpose intercooler pipes! Induction and roll bar.

Thanks again. The car is pretty much right where I want it right now. With a little housekeeping, I even got the engine bay shining! :D

Thanks John! This blower project was so, so easy to do. Compared to doing the NA-T on my old Supra, it was about 1/4 the work. Compared to changing the transmission in my driveway... jeez, I'd rather not think about it! Do you think this thread would be more at home in the Forced Induction...

Would you be able to take comparison pictures with the Tundra headers and the LS headers next to each other?

It sounds great. I'm pretty sure you aren't going 120MPH though! Did you mean 120KPH?

With my Scangauge, I can monitor intake air temperatures on the fly. I took the car for another drive today. The IAT kept around 70 degrees until I got into boost, and from there it was a steady 100 degrees after that. My car idles at 400rpm or so when hot. Not exactly sure why, and it was like...

That would involve rewiring, a bunch of step-up and step-down adapters, and a custom snorkel box for the intake. You can see that I only have a couple of inches between the blower's inlet and the radiator. Besides... the car seems to run just fine with the MAF being in the pressure zone.

drool.....

Forced induction is just so much easier to make power with.

I took it for a quick spin on the highway. A few observations: 1) I've never noticed slow traffic in front of me being such an impediment before. 2) This thing cranks up from 55-90mph in zero seconds flat, as if it's being pushed by the fist of an angry God. 3) It's about 3psi at 4,000RPM, which...

I love the soda can fix. I used it for the EGR pipe at the exhaust manifold, when the pipe was broken and the car was sounding like a 1984 Cutlass Ciera with a broken exhaust :D I'll check it out.

I wish they made headers like that for the LS/SC models. They'd make a real killing.

What in the name of God is this? http://lextreme.com/forums/showpost.php?p=105786&postcount=47 The random attachments are really getting abstract!

My car is operational again thanks to Lextreme and the belt tensioner he hooked me up with. After I put that all together, I used the pipes I had and the pipes that have come in to hook the system together, and went for a short drive. Sadly, the old, cracked accordion pipe that hooks up past the...

It's the idle speed control valve. Back when I owned a Supra, oscillating idle could have also been caused by a bad throttle position sensor, so that's worth checking out as well.

Congratulations on sorting the problem out. Interference engines are stressful to do the timing belt on :p
