I'm sharing one of my tools I use to detect detonation when tuning various motors.
I'm testing waters to see if this is something that members of the forum would be interested in. I use a factory Toyota knock sensor, wire it to a 3.5mm headphone jack, and use it to record dyno/street WOT...

Just wondering if anyone in the Supra community has used this tool.
It looks interesting, I'm wondering how well it works, how durable it is, and how many cuts it will make before it's worthless.
I never thought I'd get rid of my Supra, but I did.
My supra was a never-ending quest for power. Once I got that power, I realized I had overdone it. While cruising on the highway was great, I often found myself wanting to go on a backroad cruise. I never found myself driving my car, with the...

I mentioned it briefly to my boss, as soon as he read "no calories" he ordered it. I'm pretty excited to try it out.
These have been around for awhile, I did a report on them back in college, but have never tried one. Does anyone have any personal...
I'm dyno-tuning a customer car, it's a boosted Honda S2000 with an inline pro kit. It has a walbro fuel pump, 675cc injectiors, and a WG spring pressure of just 6PSI.
Here's my problem. I got a great idle and cruise map going, we even got into some boost on the street. Everything was looking...
Here we have it:
I'm very impressed. Last time I dynoed it was with stock 2JZGE cams and made 573whp @ 27psi. I ordered hard-welded re-grinds from cowboy bebop on SF and Clubna-t. These numbers were made @ ~28 PSI.
As for the turbo, it is still holding as if new. I won't be upgrading...
I've seen these flanges around on the larger Master Power turbos, and now on a Garrett GT42.
I was wondering if anyone knows where I could purchase one of these flanges?
I'm having trouble getting my anti-lag setup properly.. seems whatever setting I try, the exhaust tone just changes and the turbo won't build boost.
Could I get some recommendations on the settings?
EMS: Stinger
Turn on above RPM: ____
Turn on above TPS: ___%
Turn off above PSI: ___...
I just went to the dragstrip for this first time friday.
13.9 @ 123 MPH :nono: I'm a terrible driver
I'm in need of some traction, and in need of help..
info on my car: 600+whp, weekend car, ~200 miles a week.
What do you guys think:

I know some of you are running the Stinger EMS. I know some of you have had trouble fine tuning your cold start issues.. and find your cars idling at 400RPM; dying at any jab to the throttle..
I started searching around for a simple valve, similar to a VSV that comes on MKIII's from the...
I just wanted to get an opinion on this problem.
I have been running a knockoff HKS 50mm (I think) wastegate for a little over a year now. The wastegate always functioned perfectly on a genuine HKS 10PSI spring (really saw about 13-14 PSI).
I recently installed a genuine HKS 15PSI spring...

Old numbers:
533 rwhp

New numbers:
573 rwhp
592 rwtq
27 psi
(different dyno)
I would have run more boost, but I still have a weak spring in my WG which isn't allowing me to up my boost to where I want it (notice how the power falls off as well)...
I just thought I'd post my newest way of detecting detonation, also the way I'll be building my timing map.
I had a chat with a local tuner about how he detects knock (detonation) when he's tuning for ignition.. he told me about his device "det cans" where he takes a coper tube, crushes one...
