    high octane timing

    See that's the way I should have said it ;-) We have tuned very few cars with WATER injection, and there is one thing I don't like about it. If the car makes power WITH it, it will be on or past the ragged edge of safety without it. That is just my take on it, and I don't mean to sound...

    high octane timing

    When you just aligned everything you set cam timing, related to the crank. The 10-12 degrees we are talking about has to do with ignition timing, based on crank position. 10* is actually 10 degrees before top dead center (BTDC). and it's just a reference number set by the ecu when you jumper...

    high octane timing

    Nope, the ECU will run a set amount of timing based on load and RPM. If your fuel is good enough to not trip the knk sensors then your ecu will give you the maximium amount of timing in the map. Adding higher octane fuel will do nothing @ that point. Now if you advance the base timing then...

    Quick question about WG dump tubes

    So you have a 40mm wastegate? That equates to 1.5" dia pipe. 1-3/4" to be safe. We typically run 1-3/4" pipe on our 38mm WG setups.

    oil leaking from mhg

    An intake manifold leak on #6 runner can cause a "no worky" condition. Did you use paper gaskets or factory toyota? Are factory toyota gaskets paper on the 7M?

    this supra in a shop

    If it's anything like our shop the car is either waiting for parts, waiting for the mechanic to find time to work on it, or it's complete and waiting for the owner to pay for the work.

    Low Oil Light idea!

    FYI the MK2 MR2 turbo has an oil level light, basically the light comes on if your approx. 1 quart low. The sensor is a float-type and is very fragile. They are also a little pricey, but if you forget to check your oil it might save you a motor...

    Code 24 and won't fire - any suggestions?

    Did you reset the ECU to see if the code 24 returned? I think Jet jock is right it's just a leftover code. There is something else wrong. I'd check the fuel pump for voltage when cranking and that the circuit opening relay is staying energized after cranking.

    what kind of timing advance are you running at idle, cruise, wot and 10-15 psi?

    Don't worry about throttle position, map your timing out by load(kpa) and RPM. Build a base map, but tune it on a dyno. That way you can verify the tuning with real numbers, instead of the ole butt dyno..."I think that felt faster" On my MR2T I'm running 30* @ idle. Low load (35kpa)...
