Now I want to hear it at 9500 rpm :)

More engine pics and video please :)

LOL, he gets around. Hey Jon, let's see what my nitrous kit does with the pills removed :) I've got a spare 2j block we can drop in if something melts.

Hehehe, the AEM box is as big as the intercooler core :) I like what you did with the manifold, it looks great.

I'm fairly confident that anybody who wants one like that and has money to purchase one can also afford to have one fabricated locally. Just takes a sixty dollar harbor freight tubing bender and knowing somebody who tig welds.

That looks queer. No really. Public schools should really teach people to be less creative.

No doubt. Numbers seem reeeeeeeally low for 28psi. Are you sure your boost gauge isn't fubar? Turbo does seem awfully lazy on the dyno, as well. All that aside, those are some fun numbers and there's definitely a lot of power left on the table for when you go standalone.

You're completely incorrect. Some tweeters sound better on-axis and some sound better off-axis. There is no hard and fast rule for aiming tweeters, just point it toward you and then adjust the angle until it sounds good. Every vehicle and tweeter combination will react differently.

Because the intake temps were high? Exhaust and intercooler setups will make a difference, as well. Different dynos read very differently, also. Sounds like a fine number to me and it'll serve as a baseline for you to compare with as you progress.

The route I went was to purchase the Bride bases from MVP for the Mk4. The two rear mounting tabs just have to be cut and rewelded which takes 10 minutes if you have a mig welder. They sit super-low and are less than 70 each with sliders already attached.

Actually, sarcasm owns you. It appears you have a laundry list of things to learn about supra ownership. 1. Never trust a machine shop. Mic everything and assemble it yourself. 2. Asking 20k or trade for a Mk4 isn't funny at all when you own a 7m mk3 3. Tuning does not magically make up for...

I dig it. Lovin' how straight that car is, too.

lol, your AFR's are pegged for most of the pull. You'd be amazed what trimming a little fuel can do :)

Did you get an actual soarer tranny or did you have the shifter arm lengthened? Are you certain that your clutch is working properly? Pull the inspection plates and have somebody push the pedal, make sure everything is okay there.

They're purple :) I don't care how far synthetics come, I still love real leather.

I'm not a big fan of the two-tone paint, but thanks for building the motor right and keeping that car on the road. I got to ride in it at the first TX2k meet I went to back when Will Neely still owned it. The car sounds amazing with the RPS manifold, keep it running strong :)

I've never been the most sympathetic to people complaining about a lack of jobs. It's usually more a case of setting your sights higher than what you're worth in a current economy. I realize there are exceptions to every rule and every locale is different, but there's never been a time in my...

I've got a '95 that I love to death, only has 105k on it now and beautiful paint :) I picked mine up for $1100 with a bhg when I worked at the local 'yota dealership. Mine's an auto as well, which doesn't bother me. I almost bought a VVTi 1uz the other day but the deal fell through. I'll...

HA! Just like you can't beat women...... I totally understand being sick of 7m's, but I don't think any motor would ever drive me to the point of putting in a boat-anchor 305 in a supra.
