Potential problems w/ the supra- Flammers please stay out SERIOUS THREAD

does it burn oil? what im saying is, a COMPRESSION test will give you a number. It doesnt tell you whats wrong with it.

for instance, you could have a bent valve or a bad piston. A leakdown will tell you the amount of air getting past the particular cylinder. an tell you if its the bottom end or the top end.

i guess i have heard how so many Supra motors especailly TURBO GTEs are indestructable an good for 600whp, i find it EXTREMELY hard to beleive your bottom end went out.

You need to know what a/f ratio you are at, perhaps is so rich it washed a ring out. you need more info before you decide to rebuild it.

ask more questions get more info

Well said Mike.




I would get to the root of the problem before doing any other upgrades/modifications. The bottom ends on those cars are damn near indistructable. Doing the work on those things are SO SIMPLE.... Its really nothing to remove the head from it if it is a valve or anything else in the head. To continually drive the vehicle with ANY type of symptom or problem is only going to cause more inevitable damage to the engine. If you have some other means of transportation than I suggest you use it. Stop driving it till you know exactly what is wrong with it. It makes no sense to keep wounding the motor when you don't have too. Just my $.02 so take it how you may... Hit me up if you want or need any help. I am not too far from you in Winder....
