This is a good deal... Here's a link: Driftmotion Never mind... You said "hard pipe". HTH Van

Yes, it comes with the bushing pressed in place. It looks like a bronze/silicon bushing. You might want to do what I did: I purchased a new OE nylon seat for the shift lever, where it connects in the transmission, (looks like a white, nylon bucket, fits snugly on the tip of the shift lever). I...

Fattys going back on the Dyno at VIP Performance mid month, to get more fine tuning done. This time I'd like to see better numbers: during idle, the motor may not need to run so rich (14.3 A/F); also would like to see less fuel accross the board until WOT, but we'll see what this motor will tell...

I've had them on my lowered Supra since 2005, and they keep the Supra very predicable through rough turns, at near the limits of the tires grip. They provide more rebound and help with compliance on rough roads, and are my choice for a DD. Van

The Beech Short Shifter is great! I've been using it on my DD Supra for the past four years. I recommend a heavy grease be packed into the lever casing, as it can transmit vibrations from the transmission and start a rattling noise w/o the grease. Getting used to having it sit so low was the...

Yes, the intake is ported/polished and all the EGR ports and runner, machined off the intake, such that there can never be attached a stock EGR valve. The #6 exhaust port, EGR opening, is welded closed so it is smooth and not a cause for turbulance. The ECU is JDM 7MGTE. Van ---------- Post...

Going up a long 3% grade at 55MPH, at 80 degree ambient temp, and a heat soaked engine, when I decided to squeeze the foot feed, quickly putting the CT26 into compressor surge. That is a first for this engine. Just before the surge, I heard the CT26 spooling up, something I've never heard before...

It's a Gen III, RX7 oil cooler.

Are you saying: seven thousand, one hundred, sixty two miles? Ouch! Van

I have been driving the Supra around 65MPH, ambient air temps in the 90s, with the engine revs around 4-5K for about 5 minutes and the engine starts generating enough heat to cause the temps to start creepin up to just above mid way on the stock temp gauge. It is my opinion that the 7M needs...

I see E85 as affordable race fuel. I don't even factor in mileage, unless the Supra is on an hours long enduro. Van

Well then... Slow down to 90! ;) Van Hey Kenny, Are those Euro mirrors much heavier than USDM; if so, by how much? Van

Four RPF1, in size 17x10, +35 offset, with a street tire that has the greatest contact patch and a front & rear BBK of Arizona Performance. Way better seats like and a set of these Van

Those are very good numbers. Have you applied to get into the GTE Powered group? Here's the link: GTE Powered Their exclusive for those cars making 500 or more wheel hoursepower on a GTE motor. Van

Thanks, Devin. Any decision on your Supra's future? ---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ---------- I was looking closely at the dyno graph... Am I nuts?! Is the JDM ECU letting the engine rev to 6800?

8/10/2011 Dyno Result on Stock Waste Gate Pressure Old Dyno Result w/Unstable AF Here is the latest news: Wryann of VIP Performance, was pleased to announce that the Supra was successfully tuned using the new JDM ECU. As I recall: the motor now consistently stays at the set AF and is making...

Ahh man! I've been following your progress; you lifted the head maybe? What I did. Then I spent a few bucks $$$$ to get the head work and the block prepped for 750BHP. So, I am going to go down the route you're on, but hopefully w/o the BHG. In an earlier post you indicated your 7M is on a...

"Since straight ethanol has a relatively low Reid vapor pressure (meaning it doesn't like to light off at low temperatures), greater percentages of gasoline are added to the blend for colder weather." (from Hot Rod Mag)...

Now, for me, I went on-line to get educated about this fuel to make a choice based on the evidence, local availability and my personal preference. Next step is to perform a test, whereby I log my Supra's performance and MPG and see for myself. Van
