    No start, no tach movement

    I also wonder if he sanded the contacts past the air gap.

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    I picked this number using a generic BSFC formula. It is larger than required for 500 bhp. In fact, RC's own site lists 716cc at 80%.

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    What if we move to a 750cc injector? I have been also thinking of a large plastic MAF housing, (heat soak) but not necessarily the MAFT. If I did it, it surely would be draw through and not blow through.

    Chassis 12v Short

    If you have 12v going directly to ground, you have current flowing. The resistance is just very small, which is why current is very high (ohms law 101) and it sparked. You also said it wasn't rubbing. Recheck all of it.

    Chassis 12v Short

    You said one place told you the alternator was bad. What checks did he use, and why did you go with the person that gave you the answer you wanted to hear? http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=CH&P=10 This is just an example of a couple of checks I would do. Not that it...

    Turbo pressure sensor

    It will be in the EWD, including connector layouts and connector locations. For example; http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TEWD/MK3/manual.aspx?S=Main&P=136 http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TEWD/MK3/manual.aspx?S=Main&P=138...

    Gave her all the parts and money she needs, Car will not accelerate

    TCCS only cuts fuel for a couple of reasons, and it is done at different engine speeds. If it was oil, it would burn off in short order. Unless you are pumping a lot of oil in there constantly. Say what?

    Coilovers and mounts, yes yes I know but hear me out

    Wrong suspension type. You have coil over shocks, short-long arm suspension. It has eccentric bolts to make the adjustments. Camber plates move a strut around on the top because there is no adjustment on the bottom. So right, you don't need it.

    Won't maintain idle/keeps dropping then stalls.

    Rich is easy to light, even when out of time by a bit. That is why there is cold start enrichment.

    Won't maintain idle/keeps dropping then stalls.

    Recheck the time of the CPS, since your car runs bad after removing and reinstalling.

    KYB can even improve the ride of an old Fox body 5.0 Mustang. I am saying so from experience.

    ***SM member 1/4 mi. times list***

    Speaking of not fast enough for the list.... And no, I did not run a 10.7 at 3904 lbs, 180 CID low compression stock engine with a 2.8 first gear.

    electrical gurus unite! for the love of sup help!

    The CPS is installed out of time. Or the cams themselves are out of time. Since I didn't heed JJ's correct assertion about dunning/kruger the first time, I will now back out.

    High compression high RPM 7M-GE build

    Did you put your head on a flow bench? Posted numbers on 7Ms are far and few between. I would like to see it.

    R154 or A340E/TH350

    If it is a dedicated drag car, why would you not go with the THM350? Besides money and time. But if it is a dedicated drag car...that will cost money and time.

    67mm turbo Supra transmission Questions

    Keep opinions like scAMS oil to yourself, it will help the site. Synthetic fluids don't have a problem with temps.

    67mm turbo Supra transmission Questions

    What trans fluid are you using? If you have Dex 2 or 3 as Toyota suggested it is likely conventional oil and if you heat it by power breaking, the fluid will lose viscosity. The torque converter heats the fluid rapidly, easily above the 200 degrees it is designed to operate at. I would say Dex...
