    thanks guys! its nice to see people that can appreciate all our efforts of finding just the right car. dumas formerly known as louky- no we picked up this car outside of e-town so i doubt its the same car. edge- it was ours for $700 and some assy required haha.

    just what i needed- another supra!

    buddy and i have been looking for a hardtop supra to start a project with. solid shells are getting harder and harder to come by these days. we finally found one! it is a very solid car. only issues are the mudflap on the driver side (big surprise), the pass side door trim is missing and the...

    Safc tuning

    no it wont set a code for knock. all it will do is start to pull timing once knock is detected. the only reason the CEL will come on is if there is a problem w/ the circuit itself (bad knock sensor, wiring, ecu). to see if it is working properly, have someone hold a timing light on the...

    Dyno'd the gt4082

    congrats aaron! nice power level for the boost and tune. there is still a lot left in it! about the turbo size, no it isnt a huge turbo by today's standards. it just looks so big from the outside because the comp cover is bigger than an S cover. you cant judge a turbo by its cover, its...

    Truth about Intakes

    this isnt true. they do increase power on our car. maybe not a ton at near stock levels, but the more mods you have the higher the power gain. i believe on a stock 7m i saw an air filter comparison on a dyno. i think the apexi had the highest gain ~11rw and the k&n filter at ~9rw. sure that...

    Need some feedback!!

    better tires! then practice clutch technique. 1/10 improvement in 60' = 2/10 improvement in et (generally)

    Upgrades: Is there a 'best' order?

    matt- you need to set a goal for the car. atleast to a point. do you want to run a front face intake? which turbo do you want? what exh manifold do you want to run? what power do you want to make? you can easily get 350rw out of some simple bolt ons and be done. but, if you are...

    Safc tuning

    conservative tune is 11.5:1 range. most lean youd ever want to go is 12-12.3:1 it will make a little more power running that range, but less room for error. 11.5:1 range you can make really good power yet still have a good margin of safety. as far as putting more fuel back in you need to...

    Safc tuning

    well this is true. but the questions should have been asked before you started tweaking. there has to be someone in your area familiar w/ tuning? besides, w/ a wideband 02 you can do a rough tune- say 11:1 range on the street or track. then take it to the dyno for fine tuning. i can usually...

    Finally went to the track and got times!

    just keep at it. improving just the launch, in both technique and tires you'll have it. on another note- you won all your races! congrats!

    Safc tuning

    no offense, but if you dont know the basics you dont need to be tuning your car. a/f = air to fuel ratio. the higher the number, the more air to fuel ratio and the leaner it is. 10:1 is 10 part air, 1 part fuel. 13:1 is 13 part air, 1 part fuel. you are lucky if you didnt detonate...

    wow yeah thats scary! you need to put some more fuel in there! ive always thought 11.5-11.8:1 is the best compromise between safety and power. excellent post rich!
