    Slow Spool & Chugging

    does he have a wide band or pyro to check if its getting right fuel? like others said it could be a fuel issue since it doesnt seem to be air.

    Running Hot

    could be the gauge went bad, or the sensor. air stuck in the system will make it not flow and overheat as well.

    jdm or rebuild?

    150 is a good deal for assembly. i thought it woulda been alot higher. it usually is around here. so if i could pick up a block and bottom end from a junkyard it would be worth it? that way i can just change over what i need when the time comes to pull the old motor. i guess i have some time to...

    Where do you install an Exhaut Temp Probe?

    how would the reading be useless after the turbo? if you have it in the #6 runner your only reading one cyl.

    jdm or rebuild?

    thats not bad at all. so you had someone else assemble it for you? so i might even be able to save some there. but thats not bad for short block, considering i already have most the other stuff i need to assemble the rest of teh motor. all my new parts that is. i hear of ppl going with JE or...

    jdm or rebuild?

    so a rebuilt is what people are leaning towards.... if i pull my motor and rebuild it, how much am i looking at in parts roughly? how much is a set of rods w/ pistons and rings? i know i am gonna have to get a valve job among other things but how much am i looking at if i do the whole rebuild?

    Alternatively fueled supras

    yeah that makes sense. i would want to tune it. atleast for the first time to make sure where everything should be set at. i havent got ahold of a maft-pro yet to see what it is capable of yet, but i agree on not just letting it do it on its own.

    Alternatively fueled supras

    from reading figgie's post on it. it sounds like you can just change the mapping to run gas or alchy.

    Alternatively fueled supras

    i am going to be in the process of upgrading my fuel system within the near future. at the same time i will be installing a maf-t pro. would it be worth the extra cost to go ahead and make my fuel system e85 capable? i am already planning on pump, lines, fpr, injectors, and fuel rail. from...

    Alternatively fueled supras

    now if you were running a maf-t pro with all the mods needed for the e85 setup. would you be able to switch back and forth between the two fuels by using different maps? b/c if i ever planned to go on a long road trip i know i would have to use reg gas since most places still dont carry the...

    Alternatively fueled supras

    does the turbo still spool up fine using alky? i know it runs alot cooler all around. another thing i was thinking about was the O2 sensor. you would have to get some kinda diff setup for that right?
