Project Clean 87

I had the cable already ran back when the car was gutted. I will be looking into moving the cable from in front of the firewall to behind it, but not right now. Got other priorities.

After doing two pulls from 60-110 today, I've given up on waiting to have the time to install my parts and tune it. I'm putting the car in the shop hopefully tomorrow. With any luck I'll get it back by Saturday.

Talked to Tim at RRev, he's going to get me an SAFC NEO and install it, along with a battery kill switch that will be located in the rear liscence plate, my PLX M-300 wideband, and my Aeromotive FPR. Once everything is installed, the Supra will be dyno tuned. Dropping it off tomorrow, picking it up in a couple days (with fresh dyno graphs).

Just dropped off the Supra at RRev Motorsports. On top of upgrading to the SAFC NEO, I've also decided to get the AEM TRU-BOOST Gauge-Type Controller. It's a boost guage and boost controller in one setup. Adjusting the boost level is as easy as pressing a single button. I'll also be upping the boost level to 16-17 PSi. Anyways, should have the car back Friday ish.

[honestabe]

That's right Moe, John is tuning my Supra. I didn't realize it, but all but 1 guy at RRev has atleast an associates degree in the automotive field.

Nice. Im sure hell be able to squeeze the power out pretty nicely.

 

[honestabe]

I'm betting that I'll be putting down 300 HP at the wheels. I'll find out tomorrow.

 

[honestabe]

Just picked up the Supra from RRev, looks like my turbos are on their last leg. I pulled 267.55 HP at 5400 RPMs and 270.76 Ft. Lbs. of torque at 6100 RPMs on 16 pound of boost.

well it looks about time you swap out those old stockers, and time to go single, or are you going to do like what im going to be doing?? i just cant wait till i get back state side to be able to drive my MKIII next to yours..

 

[honestabe]

I think I'm just going to get a FMIC for now. I just spent a good chunk of change on the Supra, and I'm still $10k in the hole. Gotta really get that number down.

 

[bloodasp90]

to bad you cant come back in and get deployed out like i am right now... but, hay hopefuly you can get that number down quick so you can keep working on the car..

 

[honestabe]

I make $2700 a month right now, so I actually make more now than I did when I was in the Marine Corps. Hell, I've paid off $2000 in debt in just 2 months. And I have a little over $1000 in savings.

 

[bloodasp90]

yea, but its still nothing quite like being on a two month deployment, not being able to touch a dime, ohh i just cant wait till i get home... and besides you missed out on this years new pay raises...

 

[honestabe]

Dude, I missed out on a lot of pay because of my mouth. Remember, 1 demotion and 1 denied promotion to Corporal.

 

[honestabe]

Quick update, I got my Suspension Technique sway bars installed. They weigh twice as much as stock, but they are strong as hell.

 

[bloodasp90]

whats the feel in ride difference?

 

[honestabe]

I'll let you know tonight.

 

[honestabe]

Feels a lot stiffer. There's a lot less body roll now, even though I had very little body roll before.
