    another MAFT question, a simple one

    which maft are you looking at? the original or the maft gen 2? the gen 2 is a maft and much more than an afc. id get that one and be done. here is the info on the gen 2 (note: it is NOT the maft pro). its only $60 more than the regular maft dramatic upgrade from the regular unit...

    First Trip to the Dyno

    lean is mean to a point. once you pass that threshold, the knock sensors will start pulling timing and power will go down. i did some playing around on my car and it kept making more power until 12.3:1. leaner than that and it started to pull timing. thats how come i said if you richen it up...

    new a/t fluid but does not shift like it should

    ive seen a lot of transmissions take a crap after a flush and fluid change. hopefully, it is just low on fluid. drive the car to get it up to temp. then shift to L, wait a couple seconds, then 2, wait a couple seconds, etc til you get back to park. then with the car still running, check...

    First Trip to the Dyno

    not bad numbers. i would add some base fuel pressure. it doesnt look bad, but leaner than i would like. plus it will run a tad leaner on the street than it does on the dyno usually. i think you are getting some knock and timing pulled. 1.5psi boost increase and you only gained 3hp and...

    Progress on my Prosport stock cluster install

    wow that oil pressure gauge is crazy deep. with the cover back over the gauges, how are you going to operate the peak/hold function? also, why do you have 7 packs of facial tissue? lol

    Damn Car

    he doesnt post much. if you knew the background: his car was apart for quite some time. it got rebuilt, spun a rod bearing. it was apart, again. for quite a while, again. finally got it all put back together. was having an issue, tracked it down to a loose ground. it's golden, drove it...

    looking for new stock wastegate

    that wont work as is. if you wanted to do some fab work to fit it you could. but for $100 i dont know if its worth the trouble. i have a good working wastegate around here if you want it. also, any turbo that uses an internal gate will have one specific for it. sure, you could use a...

    Best Way To Build An 11 Second 7MGTE

    not a lot of 11 second or faster supras on here because: a) they dont care to drag race b) they have 11 second capable car but not the tires or driver for it c) they dont have the power to run that quick most people on here have 17-18" rims with small sidewall tires and on stiff lowered...

    Ky Suprameet??!!

    matt- not wheel hop from launching/lack of traction. wheel hop from no dampening. just because the lights and solenoids work, doesnt mean the shocks themselves are doing anything. the way i always demonstrate on my car: put it in full soft mode. then press down on the bumper (front and...

    Newest Australian MkIV Dyno Queen

    i see a W2A ic, but also a A2A ic in the front? or is that the radiator? or is it running on alchy an no radiator? quite puzzled by the setup. i dont think its bad looking except for the coils in the cut out cowl. it does its purpose, which is what matters. just i would have done...

    Ky Suprameet??!!

    you asking me? i had 255/40/17 michelin pilot sport xx. i dont think they make them anymore. the are most similar to the pilot sport ps2 they make now. they hooked like mad and didnt wear that bad. they were a little spendy, and a little noisy tho.

    Ky Suprameet??!!

    actually, ex-girlfriend took first place at the auto-x at the supra meet in new jersey. granted there was a supra class, but she still beat out quite a few people, including a few mkiv. i didnt have the high stall converter at the time tho. it was stock suspension with tems (in good shape)...
