    Has anyone heard of an "X-brace" for the mk3?

    there are a few that come to mind. there was the one that mounted in the rear floorboard, similar to the doluck brace. there was a lower subframe brace that was like the JIC, but not an X there was another that was in the hatch that tied the strut towers to the rear. kinda similar to a...

    2 Walbro Fuel Pumps?

    no, mkiv injectors are side feed, wont work on the mkiii. yes, 550cc will be fine for that turbo. you will most likely see 450-500rw on that turbo at high boost.

    2 Walbro Fuel Pumps?

    i agree with mass. 550/580cc inj and a single walbro pump will be enough to fuel that turbo.

    Finally got some numbers on my car while in Vegas

    i must be wacky. i guess if one foot is in the grave and the other is on a banana peel you have good balance. and to think people jump down my throat about running lex and 440's at 12psi on a stock turbo. but i personally wouldnt push 440's that high on stock fuel pressure, nor would i...

    FFIM removes ISC Valve?

    nope, dont need it. you can run an open filter (one of the k&n breather filters) on the isc. on our car, the throttle body is closed at idle. so there has to be some means of bringing air into the motor. thats what the isc does. it draws metered air in, so if you are running an afm you have...

    What's going on in 6

    i couldnt tell you the pressure differential. its just that several supra motors ive seen apart have had noticeable carbon buildup on #6 compared to other cyl. perhaps its a malfunctioning egr, egr design, or something completely unrelated. but its def a trend ive seen with the motors, and...

    What's going on in 6

    ive seen #6 cyl build up with carbon due to the egr system. thats what it looks like to me. a comp test is def a good idea, and id suspect #6 to be a little higher than the others if carbon is an issue.

    FFIM removes ISC Valve?

    several options. some dont have it at all. some the flange is mounted on the bottom so you cant see it. some run a remote isc valve. if you dont run one, you will have to let the car warm up to about 150F before driving, and you will have to set the idle a little higher (800 rpm or so)

    Ky Suprameet??!!

    i thought you were doing a rebuild by choice. i need to determine if everyone wants to meet in louisville and cruise out together to the dyno, or if everyone wants to just meet at the dyno.

    I got a misfire to the MAX!

    i think he was looking for a pressure tester. http://devildogtools.com/mi45cosyprte.html i believe harbor freight has a version of it thats cheaper, but dont see it.

    Running the Lexus AFM questions?

    get a wideband first. they are cheap enough now, and helpful in tuning also.

    Wotm invitational drag race. OCT 11th

    i tried. 1193rw was all i could muster. i had thought about breathing heavy on the temp sensor to change the correction factor, but that would be cheating. its a little far to go anyway.

    Ky Suprameet??!!

    oh c'mon chris, bd/hartford isnt that far! the dyno/cookout is about 30min east of louisville. the track is probably too far for you to go. but you would be welcome to come on sat. also, i need to start getting an idea of who wants to dyno. the start time for sat will depend on the number...
