    Starting problem :-(

    As Poatree said, it could be the CPS (the device which electronically simulates a distributor). Try wiggling the CPS wires when you have the problem and see if that helps. Also check your engine error codes and let us know what you find. It almost sounds like starter contacts. If the...

    mods

    There are actually quite a few things you can do. You will definitely get more power per dollar with a turbo, but you can still have fun with an N/A. http://www.ma70.com/bishop/namod.html

    question

    The hose directly off the intercooler is different. The hose from the metal pipe bolted to the chassis going to the turbo should be the same.

    What was your mph? Looks like you had some mad wheelspin off the line.

    87 tsrm

    The old style TSRM's came in only one volume. The newer print that Toyota made has multiple books for chassis, electrical, etc.

    hesitation and loss of power

    No, if you see oil vapor coming out in puffs you could have a piston ring problem. If it comes out a steady stream it's probably not rings.

    Help!

    Sounds like you just blew a coolant hose. BHG doesn't normally come out behind the thermostat housing, but there are a couple coolant hoses that crack over time. Replacing a BHG is very easy once you've done it, even the first time it's not that bad. On the 7mgte the hardest part is...

    hesitation and loss of power

    With the car warmed up and running, take the oil filler cap off. If you notice a very distinct puffing of oil vapor coming out then it's possible your ring's are having issues. It's rather unlikely with a 7mge but it's possible.

    super moniter

    It can be hardwired if you're that desperate. 86.5-88 are likely to already have the harness but it's not definite that you will have the harness. My 86.5 did not have the Super Monitor harness. However once you start modifying the car the MPG and range will start to become inaccurate since...

    couple videos (BIC DDP @20psi)

    Thanks guys :) Forgot to mention that is with the jasma class cat-back on, which is very tame and quiet sounding most of the time. The really loud noise is of course the wastegate opening. However in the winter I run a different cat-back and it's a good bit louder at all times, sounds much...

    best bov

    I've heard of people having problems with the Tial when they run low boost. No experience with that particular BOV myself, I prefer the HKS SSQV. There's no reason you should pick a different BOV based on motor, it should be based more on what boost you're running. Yes certain cars AFM's...

    Powersteering cooler options?

    I haven't had a PS cooler since January 2003, no problems yet. If you autox you'll probably boil the fluid. I've had no problems road racing.

    Input on suspension overhaul plz!

    I've found the measurement that Tein recommends is pretty close. Of course the corner scales would be better, but for your average joe, the specs Tein recommends works pretty well.

    couple videos (BIC DDP @20psi)

    I'd say almost 40k miles. I ran 20psi everyday for the first couple years, now lately with the DDP and VPC I find that 16psi is as fast and it's easier on the HG :) I'll pull it up to 21 if I need the power, but that's not very often anymore.

    afm

    As I said before "It's going to depend on whether your AFM is your current bottleneck at your mod level." Lets say you've got a SP61GT and all the supporting mods except the stock AFM. You think at 25psi the stock AFM won't be a restriction?

    High idle/ no acceleration

    Checking for engine error codes is the first step http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/fi/FI_023.html Do you smell rotten eggs or sulfur anytime while driving? When was the last tuneup done (plugs, wires, cap, rotor)?

    Front component speaker install?

    I found my x-overs would fit inside the door in the cavity created by the arm rest. It was a tight fit but no problems after 3 years. Of course that will depend on what size your crossover is.
