Some people recommend the MKIV over the Walbro. Either one should drop in fairly easily. I have an article in the articles section with step by step pictures of the fuel pump swap. There is no known chipped ECU for our cars. I am not sure of exactly what all you can do with the MAFT-PRO, but I...

An extra 100 pounds of safety in a car that light will more than be worth it. I'm glad to see you doing it right, and excited about the day we see a completed car in here.

It really is a pretty easy repair. But, you have to be careful to get it put back into the clamps that they came out of. If not, it will twist, and destroy itself pretty quick. I can't see an honest shop charging more than an hour to do the job. That said, 2 hours is a good estimate of what you...

Again, be sure of your plan before you start buying parts. You won't need the SAFC if you go MAFT-Pro. Other parts I left out, such as a boost controller or boost gauge, can also be skipped that way. The reputation of the AEM Eugo is very good. I personally bought one, and so far it is crap...

What is your estimate of total car weight once this thing is put together? All I can think of is huge traction issues. I want to see some doughnut videos with this car. That should be insane!

I do now have a working clock. I did some testing back when the last post was in here. I reported to Jeff (lewis263547?) through PM. My findings were confusing to me, and I promised him I would redo them and report back. But, the holidays have been very hectic, and I have not done it. It's cold...

I honestly have never done the research on the MAFT-PRO. My car is done with the Lex/550. That is a Lexus SC-400 Air Flow Meter (AFM) and 550CC injectors. The Lexus AFM is the exact same as the 7MGTE AFM, except it is 25% larger. It uses the exact same electronics, so you only need to buy the...

The boss turbos are a SupraSport thing, and I've never heard anything bad about them. I'm not sure if Jeff Tamulis has anything to do with them. Jeff has been around supras for many years, and has a fantastic reputation.

^I believe the RA specs will be specified in your instructions with whatever head gasket you use. The size of that head gasket should be determined by the measurements above to find how much material has been removed. Don't just assume that 2.0MM sounds cool because somebody else used it...

It should be in place though, not flopping around your engine bay.

An upgraded CT-26 is going to spool as fast as anything else you can find, and is well known for the 400's. You will want to get a better intercooler. You will need to probably pick between the MAFT-Pro or the LEX/550 route with a piggyback for tuning. 3 1/2" Exhaust will be fine. Most do 3"...

Been there done that!!!!!! I'm down from a high of 5 Supras to only one now. The best thing about having more than one, is that you always have a 3-D example to look at, rather than a flat page in a book. Good luck with the projects, and take your time. Check that your timing parts are all...

Us old bastards don't have the sharpest of minds at all times. Sometimes we do things spur of the moment that we will learn to regret later.

I SO miss Noah! I hope he is doing OK. I guess I could call him. Has anybody heard from him lately?

I saw it at CHI2K7. Your pictures are awesome. Pass along my compliments to the photog!

I have seen this car in person, and it is very beautiful. Did you take and edit these pics yourself, or did you hire a professional? We hired a Professional to do pictures of my kids yesterday, and she is photoshopping them now (Lighting, B&W, highlighting, etc.). We've seen some of them, and so...

In for the pics! I've been trying to find a gunmetal like that for a while now for my red car. I just wish the lip was a tad bigger.

The stock BOV is extremely easy to test. Take it off, and blow into one end. If it comes out the other side, trash it. Most original BOV's are crap.

So, I am a good passenger seat butt-dyno I guess. I haven't rode in your new set up yet, but I knew his and yours were very comparable. His felt a tad quicker, while yours seemed more powerful. does that even make sense???? Maybe it was all in the clutch?

I was going to guess (shouldn't be done in tech) AFM. Are you sure the vacuum under the accordion is connected to the idle up at the back of the power steering pump?
