    Aem ems questions

    auto or man doesnot matter. 89+ is specific to match plugs. you will need a map and air intake sensor along with the aem ecu. also you will need someone to wire in the correct pins in the plugs for these. it is highly recommended to get a wide band to go with this ecu standalone. if you...

    CB radio in a supra

    Back in the day we had CB handles instead of cell phones. My friends and I would talk on the radios on the way to and from school. My first car was a 78 Celica (Supra Mk zero?). I was handed it down from my sister. It of course had a CB radio, an eight track player (pioneer), and a PA...

    car jerks left when braking hard.....

    pull the abs fuse and see if it goes away. if so you have a bad abs sensor or the abs serated rotor is not perfectly round. I had a abs rotor get very slightly bent when a wheel bearing was replaced and had to get a special gauge to measure the outer circumferance of the abs rotor as i turned...

    Do you want Energy Suspension Poly Bushings? READ HERE.

    getting the correct size pipe that will sit on the suspension arm and still allow the bushing to be pushed thru is needed. also another pipe/shaft that will sit on the bushing and be smaller than the OD of the arm is also needed. this can be difficult to get. i found some at my friends shop...

    My Extremely Blown Head Gasket!

    My no. 6 was egg shaped bad but the composite part was not that bad. I bet you have to shave a lot off the head and probly a bit off the block for a mhg. My head had a lotmore cut than i would have liked. New oil pump would be a very good idea for your rebuild too.

    swain tech. head & valve coatings

    I had swain tech coat my head chambers and exhaust ports and valves. it cost a little cash (more now than then) but i would think that keeping the heat out of the head and coolant would be helpful. many dont do this extra expense but only coat the piston tops. Yes they get hot and dont have...

    Power problems to coils

    I have been running an AEM for about 2 years now. send me your map if you need some help tuning. Once you get the hang of what all it can do and how the different settings interact with eachother it is a lot of fun to tune.

    stop using rachets and buy a 1/2 inch breaker bar from parts store and a 1/2 inch socket for the bolt. Is is 17 or 19mm? You may have to put some heat on the bolt without heating up the balancer. the balancer has rubber in it that you dont want to heat up. you loose a lot of force with a...

    progress pics on the NA-T / TT hybrid

    really nice setup. those wheels make a difference. i thought you like chrome wheels on black cars. those do have a aluminum accent around the edge which sets them apart from the car. really nice addition. I bet that car still sounds like a chick car with no turbo yet. does this mean i...
