    Supra Performance question (need a hint to what you think may be the problem)

    If it is a boost leak it must be coming on after a bit of sustained boost. If I trusted this turbo I would agree, but there are no boost leak sounds and nothing that has been found yet. I may just take the turbo into Alamo turbo and have them checkit over. If its having issues they can fix. If...

    Supra Performance question (need a hint to what you think may be the problem)

    I have to double check but I believe it was tested at 14 psi. The actuator didn't look new like my 57 trim did, so it may be the culprit. I'm just not sure how many problems can be linked to it. The hks bov (authentic) is recirculated and it was somewhat tuned on the dyno (my tach wouldn't give...

    Supra Performance question (need a hint to what you think may be the problem)

    Tank is fresh 91 octane premium. I replaced the tank last year and fuel pump is new. Didn't change the fuel filter, but my car over fuels if I go to 35 psi.

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Our engines are non interference. You shouldn't have to worry about your valves

    lol... sorry.. Its just the way you worded it.. its like... "I walked in the door and noticed my house was broken into and everything was gone and my dog got out the door as soon as I opened it. Oh.. and I think my wife left me". The gremlins really have it in for you it seems.

    Supra Performance question (need a hint to what you think may be the problem)

    Okay, as most who have read my posts will know.. my car sits as follows: Rebuilt short block (Wiseco Pistons 0.5 overbore, polished rods and crank), rebuilt head, 550 RC injectors, Denso MKIV Fuel pump, Aeromotive AFPR (set to 25 psi currently), DM 7MGTE Intercooler kit (CX racing actually)...

    90-89 Heart Transplant/Build

    Jeff Lange would know (on these forums) Also from a quick search, the part numbers would look identical on the 90 for manual or auto. I'm not familiar with the ABS differences but I thought they were the same. They just varied by year. Not sure though. Google the specific part and compare...

    Bring back the Kaminari 3 piece spoiler???

    +1 to this... Nothing more disheartening then getting that custom FG or CF piece (like headlight covers) to find out that they are different thicknesses in different areas, don't quite go parallel to body lines and have been over sanded... or to put a new tail on to find its 3/4" wider than...

    Don't forget the joy if being able to boost in a neighborhood just enough to set off everyone's car alarms... That's a hoot!

    The flex section isn't really needed on our engines, its good, but not necessary. (at least to the best of my knowledge)

    Divorced Down Pipes

    I considered the eBay DP, however,you get what you pay for. Any flange gets a lot of welding and needs to be done properly, there will always be some distortion due to the heat. Even with the Raptor DDP I had to cut the seperator off to machine the flange perfectly flat. I want no extra tension...

    I know very little about the jz's.. just didn't think that Randy built any DP's for the 7M (CT26) anymore. (BIC)

    I have Raptor.. damn good work and coated inside and out. Not too loud, but it roars on the dyno.. lol. You must be talking jz though.. fairly certain that BIC doesn't make 7M DP's anymore.

    How reliable is the 7mgte?

    I was referring to transportation companies, etc... that need a quality mechanic. If you suck at mechanics.. expect your value to reflect.. lol.

    fuel cut?

    I agree.. the wideband is useless although it is a nice little "idiot light". It's what triggered me to ask about the 10.0 I was getting so early in the RPM range as that just seemed to be far too rich (and it was). So.. in that instance it was good, although in the end it would have been...

    fuel cut?

    With. My fuel pump is a denso Mkiv fuel pump (same as walbro I believe, just quieter) It was over feeding my injectors so I was going to 10.0 (or lower) at about 3400 rpm at WOT. If your talking about setting it... it was set with the vacuum off. It operates with the Vacuum on (misunderstood)

    fuel cut?

    The fuel pump is an easy job, just remember to lower the gas tank a bit to do it. If your engine is as sound as you describe with a properly prepped and torqued MHG and OEM pistons your good to about 600 Hp at the crank. People tend to underestimate the 7M because so many are done poorly and...
