    How do you like your AUTOMATIC supra?

    That was my only guess (no boost leaks or EBC problems) but didn't want to believe because I can't fix that :icon_razz Good to know someone can verify though, thank you! Gotcha gotcha, been juggling whether I want 550s or a valve body from IPT this summer so that helps. ...PCS? Clue me in and...

    How do you like your AUTOMATIC supra?

    The shifts you experienced were with an IPT ordered tranny correct? Not just parts you put on yourself? Thanks ahead of time :) I like my auto so far, have yet to figure out why my boost spikes between shifts (about 3 psi each shift), causes me to hit fuel cut...but other than that it's daily...

    Cps hard wiring

    I juggled the idea of slightly hijacking the thread and figured it'd be better to post it here for others' future reference than PM adampecush. Adam, on that link you posted I don't see a connector for the 02 sensor on the harness side, mine is pretty trashed and has crimps on it haha. Any idea...

    turn down the boost boys and girls: pics

    93 octane is 20 cents more expensive where I live which isn't much...is it much more out west?

    setting up an electronic boost controller..(aem tru boost)

    ...you test it by driving your car and seeing where the pressure is at :) No idea about the pitch thing.

    Probably a really stupid question..blower motor resistor

    -Sit in the passenger seat, stretch your feet out -Raise your feet straight up: this panel that your feet bump into you must remove. There are a few screws right where the glovebox hinge is (should be three) -Remove panel -In the center and slightly above where the panel laid there will be a...

    What do you guys/gals think about 12/21/2012

    What do you guys/gals think about 12/21/2012

    Our gregorian calendar restarts ever year, it does NOT end. The end of the year is just that: the end of that specific year, NOT the calendar. Otherwise we wouldn't have a calendar hanging up right now now would we? The Mayans knew that the Earth would be aligned with the sun and something else...

    Good Idea or Bad

    My Dad loved to point out when we went to car shows all the older cars with push button transmissions/pointy ass radio buttons/spiky buttons on the dashboard. They were trying new things and it looked cool, until the driver or passenger ended up with a spike shaped hole in their forehead after...

    I feel like an idiot for asking this...

    Any difference between what advanced auto parts/auto zone sells as 'Import Transmission Fluid' and the 'Dexron VI' stuff? Second to last bottle I bought was VI, last bottle was the Import stuff, dunno why I switched...both said they worked for at least Dexron II though. One significantly better...

    What is this blown head gasket thing I hear about? And Poll.

    Bought it, kid said something about a 'rebuilt engine' or 'swapped in engine' for...some reason. Previous first owner had it done. Prolly a crock-o-crap but idc. Headgasket seems to be fine, pressure tested it a month or so ago and good numbers across the board (assuming I didn't hydrolock cyl...

    Stuck Upper Balljoint

    A very wise man told me to leave the nut on the threads while hitting it with a hammer...because I messed up quite a few threads hitting the stud with a hammer myself :p Good to know you've got it out though...make triple sure that nut will screw back on before reinstallation.

    Stuck Upper Balljoint

    What kind of springs/struts do you have? I had Illumina 2s and Eibachs, and I took the lower bolt out so I can move the strut around, and while pushing lightly on the strut I had enough room to swing the wishbone around and rest it on the dust plate. I also couldn't get the ball joint out haha...

    most commonly used tools on supra

    I've got a bag of tools in the bag (extra wire, crimps, different kind of tape, few screwdrivers and pliers, few extra washers and screws, vacuum hose, big towel, flashlight, fire extinguisher, some of that metal putty crap, other stuff I can't remember...). Then there's a flathead/phillips...

    setting up an electronic boost controller..(aem tru boost)

    And to answer your question, yes, 'a' and 'b' are two different settings...like you said, one can be used for daily driving and the other for the track. Don't get frustrated if the duty cycle you think will make x psi doesn't...keep trying! Just a bit more time is all you need haha.

    setting up an electronic boost controller..(aem tru boost)

    What I said is absolutely true. -The SPR is certainly measured in PSI -If you set the SPR higher than the boost pressure you would like to achieve (for example, 16 psi spr and 15 psi boost) it will absolutely spike SPR == pressure at which the wastegate cracks open. If all of the exhaust...

    setting up an electronic boost controller..(aem tru boost)

    The SPR setting is in PSI. If you want to boost to 15 psi (for example) and the SPR is higher than that...the wastegate won't open and it'll spike all right haha. Seth, supraguy, good info!
