    Manual Boost Controller Question.

    Your buddy decided he wanted more pressure, so he used another ball bearing to squish the spring. Probably didn't work too well for him, either.

    I wanna know what ecu is better, haltech, microtech, motec, aem, megasquirt, ect

    Exactly. Buy what is supported locally. Bottom line, most of these systems are about equal when it comes to basic tuning. Some have extra features. Some have extra gimmicks. None of that matters if your local tuner doesn't know the system inside out.

    best way to unbolt a turbo elbow

    First off, good luck. The nuts and bolts on the stock exhaust are, without fail, seized in some way. I'd park it, wait for it to cool, spray it with thread penetrating oil of whatever type you prefer, wait overnight, then tackle it in the morning. If you're lucky, you'll get enough off that...

    Manual Boost Controller Question.

    If it's a ball and spring type, that's correct. Just remember, the ball points to the turbo, the spring points to the wastegate.

    Sad day - How bad is it?

    Err... a little off topic, but did that telephone pole BLEED??? That's hardcore. By the looks of things, that's very minor damage. New bumper, nose, headlight, front markers, and I bet it'll be good as new.

    10 Reasons Why Mk3 Supras are Garbage

    Nice post, Jeff. :) And Zum, that's borderline character assassination, right there! Or maybe it was suicide... I'm fighting an internal debate over whether it's worth responding to the initial hate. To be honest, I don't think it's worthwhile, as I suspect he's made up his mind and won't...

    Build, will it hold?

    Ask your tuner what EMS he is comfortable with in the price range and buy that. It's worthwhile to use something that is well supported locally. Are you planning on running race fuel? 600 whp from a 67mm turbo is pushing it on pump, to say the least, and I don't see anything for water / meth...

    10 Reasons Why Mk3 Supras are Garbage

    Why would I? I've never been a big fan of the Nissan cars... hell, back then I wasn't even really a Toyota fan, or even a car fan, other than the obvious Lambo Countach that every guy in his early 20's was lusting over at the time. Not like any type of sports car was within my budget, or even...

    10 Reasons Why Mk3 Supras are Garbage

    I'm not even talking modified. From memory, there was: - Mustang - Camaro - Corvette - Grand National - Supra - Rx7 - Nissan had something out then... 260 / 280 / 300z, I forget which one was current at the time. Probably the 280z. - I think Nissan also had a 200sx or some such. - All the...

    Saying Goodbye - Take Care SM

    I live in Vancouver. It snowed here on Tuesday... nearly a foot. It was gone by morning. It's awfully similar to California that way.

    lol - I think he is a member here. He's right in a lot of ways, however, I'd like to see a list of competing sports cars from 1987 that were oh so much better.

    Take care, and I'm sure we'll still see you. In our rear view mirrors. Just kidding! Well, mostly. :D

    ebay rant. some people

    This has become pretty common. There are hundreds of vendors on eBay now that sell at or close to cost, then mark up the shipping so they can still make a profit.
