    Wastegate 4 bolt to v-band flange adapter?

    Some company makes them. I know because I have one somewhere in my stockpile of crap. I don't use it and would gladly send it to you, but I am not home right now. I can call someone back at my place to see if they can find it and ship it to you if you want me to. Just pay for shipping. Let me know.

    Got to drive an Aston, Porsche, Lamborghini, and Ferrari over the weekend.

    I would have to say, the Ferrari. It was so light and nimble, yet very powerful. But it sucks that I got stuck behind a Lamboghini for a lap, so really I only got to push it for 4 laps. The paddle shifters where in the perfect spot, the mid to high end range power was very smooth. Brakes were...

    Got to drive an Aston, Porsche, Lamborghini, and Ferrari over the weekend.

    We are both engineers but at different companies. Our frequent flier miles paid for the airfare, I expensed all the food, so basically I had to just pay for the hotel. Also, if anyone goes to Vegas, I recommend the Palazzo Hotel. It is an all suite hotel that was perfect. 720 sq ft suite...

    The Unoffical I Miss my Supra Thread

    I haven't driven my supra since September of '08. But the thing is, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. I got sent out to Michigan to help start up this powerplant for 3 days, and had my contract keep getting extended. Getting sick of being here without my car. I was thinkng of flying...

    1JZ starting issues

    Yep. Last night I checked the grounds on the starter and it was good. Bump started it and started perfectly. What got me was on my other supra, the 1jz starter showed signs of failing before I went ahead and replaced it. The whole burning smell got me worried about wiring and relays. Thanks for...

    1JZ starting issues

    OK, well I jumped the starter, and it did nothing. Bad Starter? I checked the starter relay as well, works perfectly switching 12 volts. When I hold the key powering the starter, voltage drops to ~11 volts. Next step to recheck the grounds again? Wouldn't the voltage not drop when trying to...

I've been working out here for the last year and I have seen ZERO supras running around. I am most likely gonna drive my supra out here within the next month or two, but then gotta...

    Evil, I understand that tuning more than fuel cut with oem and turbo is a waste, but I fail to understand how reloading a larger PSI map will change fuel cut on a piggyback. My understanding is that at 4.4V from your map sensor (right at fuel cut), your ecu will calculate how much fuel to put...

    edit: MAP-ECU2 technically removes fuel cut, but does so like any other FCD does by just clamping map voltage. This means the ECU still thinks it is right below the pressure for fuel cut. This in turn makes your AFR lean higher up as the ECU does not really increase the injector duty when boost...

    I'm running a powerfc in my car which is a standalone. And my buddy just bought a car running MAP-ECU2 piggyback. The powerfc is a little harder to tune as there are alot to know about all the features of a standalone. The MAP-ECU2 is really easy to tune with alot of nice features like launch...
