I made time to go down to VIP this Friday AM, Supra went on the dyno; really fat on fuel from idle to WOT, so Ryan pulled fuel and started tuning. The 7M started to get knock when he pulled fuel from WOT at AFRs below 10.9:1, so he set it back to 10.5:1 at WOT and the knock is gone. We decided...

How about, a 150MPH blast down the front straight, out of turn 12? I got to 135MPH on the old motor... I'm looking foreward to see what this motor is capable of... Last time I had to work hard to keep up with the BMW M3 that was doging me in the turns and passing me out of the turns. I'd catch...

:icon_bigg As my plan for a video goes, I'm hiring a pro to take vids at the track, while the Supra and I go around the curves at PIR. Van

The Supra is going in for a tune this Saturday AM and we are planning to clock the adjustable timing gears, to tune another xx Hp/Tq out of the set-up, and take out some fuel at WOT (aiming for 11.5:1 AFR). I'll take the Video camera with me this time... If there is any time left over, there...

152psi, 156psi in two cylinders (had to check the spec sheet twice).:icon_bigg 'Race Ready 7M' is built to rev continuously above 3K, so it is a little loose up top and compression will go up as the piston swells. I had to set base timing to 8 not 10 degrees, to get the performance I'm now...

After a week of rain, Friday stayed dry, the streets, perfect for boosting. The 7M pulled strongly to 6K, no misfire, shift to second, mash the foot feed, head snaped back in the seat... Wow! The Supra started to go sideways then the LSD helped correct, shift into third at 6K and I hit 60Mph...

:dunno: I have no preferences... Are there any nearby burger joints? I found this on the Shop N Kart, Yard Birds website: http://www.yardbirdsmall.com/ that answers my question on eats. I can settle on going to a deli for lunch. Van

Flash! Race Ready 7M is now up and running, normally. I changed the plugs from copper to stock ND Platinum and gaped them to .030in. Then cleaned up the oily plug wires, set base timing per TSRM, removed the jumper, reset the CPS to get the idle down to 650RPMs, went for a ride, boosted and no...

Thanks! Van

I am curious to know if that is the case, or not. Van

I'm having my Supra (Race Ready 7M), tuned at VIP Performance. They are trying to tune my set-up, a AFC NEO and the TCCS, and are really close, but tearing their hair out. I was at another shop, and they just weren't interested in what I wanted to do. At VIP, they are willing to help you, and...

Hi Brian, Yes I do short drives around town and the weather might get up to 50 degrees this time of year. During the period it was happening I did drive it to several places in succession, with only a few minutes between stops at the next store. I had a Snap-On, hydrocarbon scan tool, placed...

Hi Kenny, It's Ryann of VIP Performance.

Turns out the other CPS is in fine shape, now that I just re set the shaft. It looks like too much force was used to get it positioned into the head and caused the CPS shaft to be very snug on the base of the spline, where the cog is. I just tapped it into position and it needed the three...

I think so. I noticed this afternoon, that the CPS VIP installed from the JDM engine, has a bad oil seal, is leaking into the housing and oil soaked all the electrics! POS. Oil in the housing is causing the current misfire/bad idle. Should I replace it with the CPS that has the bad bearing...

I installed the aluminum, Koyo racing rad yesterday, and had the radiator shop near my home, look at using the JDM temp sensor fitting, on the bottom tank, as a access point for the surge tank, and it will work! I'll take pics after that gets hooked up. Driving around town yesterday, I was able...

I'd like to see a M&G in Centralia again. I missed last year.:cry: Van

Oak Grove/Milwaukie and SE PDX is where you'll see me and Fat 'ol Supra. The occasional runs up and down I5 to visit relatives in WA. There is usually a meet in May in Centralia, I recall... I plan on going this year. I was planning on a track day at PIR with a few other Supra's, but the 7M...

Update - Here is where the 7M stands... It still has a random misfire, under heavy load. Ignition timing was taken down to 9 then 8 degrees base timing, AFR still are choppy (10.3 -10.9:1), occasional timing retard during WOT runs. Checked the knock sensors and both are working. He tried...

My plugs were gapped down to 20 at one point and still the misfire at 8psig. ---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ---------- Woops! Sorry for the lost context. I fixed my post above. Van
