    Eric, Thanks for the offer. I'll keep that in mind when the turbo really does need a rebuild... Van

    Race Ready 7M

    The Supra threw a code 32 yesterday, while under acceleration.:3d_frown: At this point it may be the AFM, the wires or, the JDM ECU. It's at VIP Performance so they can get to the bottom of it. On Monday they're going to determine which one it is. Wryann speculated the turbo oil seepage from the...

    Driveshaft Decision. I'm torn. Advice from experienced?

    Hi Suprarx7nut, My Supra has been running the one piece Alu DS since 2005 and it is never a problem with NVH on the road. I've been DD it since 2005. I bought the DS through Jaws Gear & Axel. Van

    What Clutch should I buy for my R154?

    Hi SUPRASTEVE, I have the Action Stage Two clutch kit, the one from Driftmotion that uses the Action 2800 Lbs pp, stock clutch disc, throw out and pilot bearings. It feels very smooth for DD, holds the aprox 333 Lbs feet torque the Supra makes at the fly wheel. I have that clutch kit mated to a...

    Race Ready 7M

    Kenny, No chatter, as the clutch disk is stock. Mecevans, Yes, the spool is noticably quicker, the CT26 hits harder too, but all the power and torque feels as if it is just coming on sooner, not that it is over all more powerful. I haven't been down to the track to drive it and really see how...

    Supra Won't Hold Traction Now!

    That's two fellow Supra owners, so far, that suggest that size for the rear. Thanks. Van

    Supra Won't Hold Traction Now!

    Yes, they do make a strong one for our Supra's R154: http://store.driftmotion.com/dynamic/imageviewer.php?w=640&h=480&sURL=http%3A//www.xpressorder.com/driftmotion/system/dlgateway.php%3Ffc%3Deba066360fc88d85baef80af92364cc6%26fn%3D8d8bde7e718f7860ddf10cb896cae95f%26iViewFlag%3D1 And...

    Supra Won't Hold Traction Now!

    245/16, BFG KDW (two years old), on Saw Blades; same set-up as before the new clutch kit and lightened flywheel. Van

    Supra Won't Hold Traction Now!

    I too think it is due to the new clutch kit, as it is two pounds lighter than the old one. The revs come up noticably faster, as does the boost, all due to the moment of inertia. My intention for having the lighter set-up was to get revs up sooner out of the corners to grab the next gear...

    Supra Won't Hold Traction Now!

    I don't know what has happened to my Supra, :dunno: but it definitely has more power and torque since getting the new Action Stage Two clutch kit and the Fidanza flywheel lightened. I also had the mechanic install the Energy Suspension brand transmission mount. The old Action Stage Two clutch...

    Race Ready 7M

    Yes, it has never been able to break the tires by simply flooring the gas! What I need to do is get the Supra down to VIP Performance for a Dyno test. I suppose the seven year old clutch, flywheel and pressure plate friction surfaces, may have contributed to loss of torque to the wheels... That...

    Race Ready 7M

    I don't know what has happened to my Supra, :dunno: but it definitely has more power, since getting the new clutch kit and the flywheel lightened. I also had the mechanic install the energy suspension brand transmission mount. The car is breaking traction in second, by just stepping on the foot...

    Race Ready 7M

    Okay, $2,100.00 later I can hardly tell the difference shifting the car on the street; off I go to the track! I know that it is only 1.7 Lbs lighter than what I had in there before, so I may not realize a noticable difference in performance on the street. I'm very pleased with the way it...

    Race Ready 7M

    Yes, the goal is to reduce the rotating mass where it has the most effect, near the ring gear. The scalop was done in a CNC machine around the inside edge, being careful not to lose the balance. I'll have the total weight loss figures on Tuesday, when I p/u the Supra at the shop. There was a...

    Race Ready 7M

    The Supra's getting the pressure plate CNC'd today. Plan is to install it on Monday. I'll see how much difference taking off 1.5 Lbs on the aluminum flywheel improves shifting... The next thing is to go out and get some track time! Van

    Code 42

    Jetjock, I'll test it on the chassis dyno at the shop (for top speed), and then we'll know. Van

    Code 42

    Thanks for the information Jetjock. I'll have my mechanic take care of it. Also, thanks 3p... This just occurred to me; would blocking the SPD signal to the JDM ECU affect the ECU speed limiter? Van
