GEs use a totally different style AFM as noted above. Wont work, not that you'd need it. The reason turbo guys switch to it is to get around fuel cut.

I had a dream once where I used a turbo to shred cheese. Worked great. Sorry to see it works as well on fingers, though =( Sorry about your finger bud! I sliced one of mine up pretty bad on a hunk of aluminum last year but luckily I moved in time to not split it all the way down the middle.

Definitely know what you mean about the weather. I let a car go cheap today because I need the money to get the Supra done before it gets terrible out. I worked on my first one all winter long, outside, with hand tools. Not going through that shit again lol

You can have any color you want, so long as it's...

Snow tires? They look like BFG KDWs to me... lol I wondered what happened to you.

Car looks and sounds great! In for more vids!

Seriously this thing is bad ass and I want to see it go!

Definitely wouldn't cause tons of blue smoke, either. A bad ISCV could cause it to die, bad valve stem seals could cause the blue smoke. Might have a few problems going on here.

You can run a Lexus AFM without 550s. You just have to add a ton of fuel via a FPR and whatever piggy back you want and tune the car with a wideband. 550s make it a safe bolt on setup. Check your codes, post them. Build a boost leak tester and check for boost leaks. I've been in your shoes...

Nothing. I've seen an NA with full exhaust, a cold air intake and bumped timing make all of 5whp more than a bone stock healthy NA on the same dyno same day. Your gutted interior saved you next to nothing weight wise, too. Other than swapping out the stock seats (especially the driver seat)...

I'd look for a factory turbo car if you haven't bought one yet. The easiest way to do the swap is motor for motor, but pretty much all the turbo parts bolt on hassle free.

You picked that thing up for a steal! In for interior pics!

Check how bad the rust is on the inside of the wheel wells and inside the spare tire well.

Everyone and their brother has a 3E5 car. I'm partial to pearl white, black and midnight blue. Any darker shade of silver is pure win. Flat black done well looks tough. Honestly I think a dark green color would work well, but I've never seen a picture of one. About the only color I've seen on a...

Four fa sho.

I go in from the front under the intake manifold with a good two feet of extensions. Easiest way by far. Not too bad to pull it off.

Sounds like you've got your ducks in a row. A 60-1 CT (which is what I think you meant) will easily hit your power goals. I'd pick up a used SAFC for now if I was you. Easy to install, easy to use, and not a wallet buster by any means. Save the huge price difference between that and a standalone...

I owned the redneck rodknock fix car further on in it's life. Those bearings held another ~30k before the current owner ran low on oil and RK'd again. I pulled the motor apart to replace a broken piston and the bearings/crank/rods still looked fine, but it was a relatively fresh rebuild anyway...

That's about right for fuel cut on a stock car. Your sig says you have 560s and a Lex, though? Fix your codes first then report back.

OS Gikens are not something you really want to drive around a lot. Granted, I've only been around one car with one, but the pedal pressure in that car was roughly equivalent to kicking a hole in a castle wall. lol
