what did you pay for your mk3? - Page 3

jdmsoup · 05-16-2010, 09:36 PM

$1500 on an 87 mk3 turbo. with a few mods done to it and all it needed was an alternator for $35 and a battery. which i got a brand new optima red top for $50 bucks. i lvoe friends with an old battery that still had a warranty on it. and it ran great until i blew the hg but its worth it.

Great price for a turbo. Did you post pics of it? I read earlier that they torgued our heads to the wrong specs from the factory thus the blown head gaskets but Toyota never issued a recall on them.

jdmsoup · 05-16-2010, 09:47 PM

yeah it was a great price. i was worried something was going to mess up on it but ive checked everything before the hg blew and everything in in working condition and the turbo has no shaft play or anything. he only sold it so cheap because he wanted it out of his yard and he only needed a little bit of moeny to finish his other car so he told me 1500 and its mine. haha but the only pic i have of it is the one on my avatar when i post and on my profile. after i get this top end build done im going to post a bunch more pics of the new parts and paint.

I think my head gasket is blown as well. It;'s the only thing that makes any sense. Can a throttle control sensor stop a car from running?

jdmsoup · 05-18-2010, 02:35 AM

well a blown headgasket wont make the car stop running it will just run like shit.

batmmannn · 05-18-2010, 03:06 AM

Yeah I know I can't figure this thing out! It should be running! It died, Just stopped, I can't think of what I am missing. Doing a compression check is all I have left unless it's something in the electrics but I have spark! I have fuel pumping. WTF?

jdmsoup · 05-18-2010, 03:16 AM

check all your connectors and make sure everything is connected. im not a genuis with these cars. its my first supra. so im throwing out the basics man. doing what i can to help a fellow supra owner.

batmmannn · 05-18-2010, 03:31 AM

But I am getting near the end of my patience with this thing. If the compression checks out I am not going to know what to do.
