Update: Ryann of VIP reports the known, working AFC, wired into the car, didn't correct the misfire problem. He can't resolve the problem as the TCCS is still able to overcome the AFC, and retard timing. His solution... AEM/EMS for 7MGTE and 3,025 dollars, which covers the cost of the EMS and...

Update: VIP Performance reports that while tuning, the car still pulls timing, there is noticable knock and the AFRs are choppy, i.e., 10.3 - 10.9:1. Ryann of VIP suspects it's the AFC. He has another AFC that he knows to be reliable and will wire it into the car to see if the issues go away. He...

Brian, I went out Sunday, looked at the ALT, it's a Bosch ALT. It fits the Beech Performance bracket well and the stock Supra plug and wire go right in to the socket and pole. As for the right sized belt: I too used a length of string to get a measurement. Van

I'm no ready to go away from the stock manifold... This seems promising... Here's where I'm at... I'll likely just go upgraded 57 trim CT thru DM. Van

No prob, man. I went OT too... I lived on Pebble Dr. Any suggestions as to best turbo for my Supra's set-up? Van

Thanks! I was hoping that was the turbo size recommended. What took you out to Antioch? Practically in my old hometown: El Sobrante. Van

There is a tiny bit of lash, enough for me to want a true manual rack. Van

Here is what I had done to my power steering rack:http://www.mx6.com/forums/2g-mx6-general/237178-how-convert-your-power-steering-rack-manual.html

O.K. I'll have my buddy w/the shop, put the Snap-On hydrocarbon sniffer over the open rad fill tube, run the engine to ops temp (thermostat open), turn engine off, see if it detects any in the coolant. I did this the last time the 7M had a suspected BHG, and the hydrocarbons in the coolant were...

I will... Here are a couple of shots of the Supra. And...

The 7M's catch can is on the cool side of the engine and is recirculating vapors into the intake. None-the-less, when using NEO synthetic oil last winter, we never experienced this "foaming". I got a look at my wife's VW and the oil fill cap has a pasty, orange substance on it. She reports...

You're welcome, Kenny. I discovered the cause for the nebulus ignition problem... Number four high tension cord was not more than 1/3 way in the coil socket. Looking at it I could see the metal tip! Push it in; and all the rest were in all the way. Road tested and it pulls really hard now! I...

The 7M's catch can is on the cool side of the engine and is recirculating vapors into the intake. None-the-less, when using NEO last year, we never experienced this "foaming". I got a look at my wife's VW and the oil fill cap has a pasty, orange substance on it. She reports that it is there...

:dunno:It started this winter. I switched over from NEO synthetic oil last summer and went to the less expensive PAO based synthetic, Amsoil 10w-30. My wife's VW GTi has the same stuff... using Amsoil 10w-30. It is also on the oil fill cap of the VW GTi. I notice it disappears as the temps...

:yikes::nono:I noticed a cheddar cheese colored, foamy substance in the 7Ms catch can today. Too bad I washed it away with brake cleaner. When it builds up again I'll take a photo so we can all get a good look. My question is: Need I be concerned it is a cause of something adverse going on in...

Hey Brian, Didin't I suggest you buy the Beech Performance relocation bracket? Man, that's a bummer the bracket doesnt fit your alternator. I've never heard of the LIPP bracket not working with a stock alternator. They didn't send you the right bracket kit? That's all I can think happened. Van

I usually go on my birthday month, March... Usually it's a wet track, but I don't care. The cost is $200 for the track fee. I drive w/ my club, Cascade Sports Car Club, and we are sponsoring a track day, March 19th, and members get in for $190. Membership is $30 /Yr. Here's a link...
