    Race Ready 7M

    Here is the latest on Race Ready 7M: I took the Supra over to Auto Electric Specialties in Milwaukie OR, Friday, and the O scope indicated there was still some intermittent poor signal strength on the CPS. They put on the other CPS I brought, tested the signal, it was more consistent and the...

    You can't go wrong taking your Supra to Russ at Racetech. He is next door to the shop that built my 7M. Give Russ a call for a quote. Van http://www.racetechmotorsports.com/

    Speaking for myself, as long as they are rear wheel drive, I don't have a problem. Perhapse, we Supra owners can make converts of you and your friends, to get interested in owning and building your own Supra? Van

    Pre 89' Supra is MUCH better looking than the 89+ models

    IMHO, both stock versions of the MkIII Supra look better than the stock MkIV. To me, the MkIV is a large jelly bean; it's too round! I do want my MkIII as light as the stock MkIV hartop, and I hope to get the weight down to 3200Lbs.

    NW Section so lame on SM

    Yes, Sir. VIP Performance is great! Wryan is my 7M's tuner, and the Supra goes there for general maintenance as well. As far as the BBQ goes; I'll have to pass this year, as that entire day (8AM-5PM) I'm in a class called... (wait for it now) "High Risk Drivers Course". Van

    Race Ready 7M

    The 7M is using the Denso, Supra TT pump that flows ~280LPH. I'm running 10PSIG. Kenny, thanks for the tip on the "O" scope. There is an outfit near my home that may help me look at the secondaries... Van

    Race Ready 7M

    No indexed plugs. Back to stock ND Platinum, gapped to .030. I fattened the A/F up a little at idle, by adjusting the FP from 40 - 42PSI, and the idle mis is all but gone. I'll wait another day to try another run on dry roads, to see how well this 7M pulls. I do have that newer CPS, that I can...

    Race Ready 7M

    I and VIP Performance have not been able to diagnose the cause of the following symptoms w/ this 7M: As it stands now, the 7M is having a misfire condition during accel on WOT runs, but there isn't any audible knock. The Dyno runs show that power is being lost. This 7M is currently running...

    Race Ready 7M

    Eh... Lack of dough. Household income is below 50% of where it was during the winter of 2009. My plan was to purchase Driftmotion's 60-1, T4 turbo and exhaust kit; BC 264/264 cams; a standalone ECU and get it professionally tuned. That's all on hold for the forseeable future. Van

    Whats the highest speed you have ever gone in the MKIII?(nws)

    The Supra, was able to handle 135-137MPH, on the front straight at Portland International Raceway, all day long, on a wet track. Going into turn four at 60MPH, it had to tolerate scrubbing all that speed off in the 200 foot brake zone, it did so with complete control. The car was mostly stock...

    So, now the Supra is tuned... I want to up the boost from 7 to 10psig. Does that increase need to be done on the dyno? The boost controller is a Blitz Dual SBC. A/F is 10.2-10.5 at WOT. Van

    Race Ready 7M

    Hi Kenny, Yes, I found it humbling each time that BMW was able to put down so much power and torque, out of a N/A four banger, to pass me as if I were pedaling a bicycle! The old motor was stock except the 50 trim CT26 and 3 inch exhaust. Stock compression and fuel system. Response was laggy...

    I believe you... My budget won't allow me to upgrade at this time, so I'm just going to wait, save and enjoy what I've got. This Supra is a blast to own! Van
