No joke on this one. I just barely got mine running again, and I'd forgotten how much I hate using the clutch on this beasty. (Sprung hub, but it's still an off/on switch, not much slip at all, and it's noisy, and rough, and completely uncivilized around town.. ) But I suppose that's the...

Mine is running again. About two weeks now. I either need to sell it, or buy a working wide band. The MaftPro is not easy to tune without one.... That is 3 years collecting dust.. And it seems to be just fine now that's running again. (Actually, sounds better than I remember.. The...

Hate to say search, but there are many threads, and photos of how it's done. My personal setup is as follows. The stock oil pump, made by Asin for Toyota, is ported and then machined for a AN10 fitting. (Stock is AN8.) The pump is shimmed with about 12mm worth of shims. You really should...

I thought about hooking up my oil feed line from the bypass filter.. The oil would be as clean as possible, and it would restrict flow somewhat, to keep oil smoke down on the turbo. In the end, I just used a restrictor oil fitting, and it seems to be working fine. I'd need some idea of...

MasterPower turbo's are not junk by any parameter. They are however, less expensive than many others. (Not a bad deal if you ask me.) Having acutually used his "T-70" turbo now, it spools up fine, hits hard, and appears to be a good deal for the money. I'm looking at swapping out the...

That stainless hot side divided T4 .81 AR housing is very nice indeed. I have a coated MP housing, but it's not divided, and depending on how this SP diverter valve setup works, I might swap that out one of these days. (That would improve spool up quite a bit, and at .81, it's slightly larger...

I've seen this before, and not just on this car. Coolant leak leads to steam under the hood. Steam that then condenses on everything cold/metal. That condensation then causes sensor, and wire problems when before there were none. Happens too when people wash the motor, and then do not...

Looks much like Ron R's design for the short runner. I love they way they turn out, and simplify the pipes issue, but I will not give up AC to have one. :) (I know Ron R. makes a long runner version that retains AC and relocates the alternator down slightly.. But right now, it's not a...

Anything is possible. Money is the lubricant for this type of project. There are much more simple way to make a 1000rwhp street car, that will cost less money, and are proven as reliable ways to do it. However, it's a good challenge, and there are a few 1k+rwhp 7M based engines out there...

I like dual Bosch ones. (Re-routed back to the intake of course.) Then again, I don't like the "cop caller" sounds from under the hood, or out the tail pipe either. (My exhaust is barely louder than stock.. Untill the open wastegate dump that is!)

CSF fully welded aluminum ones seem to be a pretty good value for the money. I have a fluidyne, and they fit with the stock brackets and shroud for the fan etc. If I had it to do over again, I might buy one of the "off" brands, still fully welded aluminum, but with dual rows of tubes, in a...

If you want a lighter, stronger MK3, buy it from the start with a hardtop. Many however like the targa, and when it's in place, the car is pretty secure, and free of rattles, but out, it's totally a flexi-flyer effect to the dash, and you can feel it through the steering wheel etc. Not...

No doubt performance cars of every kind have fallen in value right now. (All car values are down, not just powerful cars.) Case in point, I've been watching 2003 RS6 values, and 2002-2003 S8 values for years. (I have a 1998 A8, and love it, but would love either the 450hp TTV8 in the RS6, or...

That is why I have 780cc injectors now, up from 550's that did not have the "headroom" I wanted. I pull 42% mainscale, so it's going to take some serious pressure to have the MaftPro sending a Hz signal of 1500 to the TCCS.

Actually, if you used a large core intercooler, and mounted it secure to the front, as long as both frame rails are still tied by a stout pipe, or what's left of the stock reinforcement bar, it should work fine. The re-bar is there to keep your frame rails aligned, and to transfer impact to...

Have you talked to the other insurance company yet? How about your own? (I'm guessing you only have Liability insurance? Or if you have Collision, are you going to report it to your company?) Also are you injured? I would not tell anyone yes or no at this point. (I do this for a living, so...

I think I have mine setup wrong based on this info. I'm using the HKS ChinaBay copy, with two ports. One on the side, and the other on top. I'm only hooked up to the side port. (The one that pushes the diaphram up, pulling the valve open, bleeding off exhaust pressure from the manifold..)...

Thank you very much Dumbo.. Your info seems to have made the difference.. There are a few things on mine, that are not on yours, but the CAR IS RUNNING AGAIN! :) Drove it around the block 2x, and let it idle for about 30min to test the cooling system.. Still have a intermitent fan relay...

Update.. I printed off a BIN from someone on here.. Do not remember who, but thanks for the bin.. Anyway, using VE table 2, and some other changes not in the "quick setup" guide for the 5.xx version I'm running, it finally started when I cranked it over.. (I about passed out.. ) So...

I have not tried, but can you set the MAFT PRO max Hz rate to 1499? (1500Hz is what triggers part of the FC IIRC.) Good news for me, I finally got my Supra running again.. it's been so many years, I actually do not know exactly when I ran it last. (Perhaps 4 years, according to my wife.. but...
