Thanks CK for your story, after running MAP and Speed/Density do you have any comments as to how similar or different they were to setup? Would you recommend one over the other for ease of configuration or is there not really a difference? did you get into the VE tables yet? Also, what did...

I'm with supra fanatic as in I have a solid running car that drives well and gets respectable gas mileage in its stock electronics. I'm ready for the next step and MAFTPRO seems to be the way to go. I'm still very worried that I'm going to be spending many more hours frustrated trying to get...

Any chance #10 is related to the fog lights? It looks like a connection I have unplugged and my fog's haven't worked since I repainted. I have to get after it next time I have it on the lift.

I'll be in Wolfeboro, NH (Lake Winnipesaukee) July 4th through that week into the next weekend. If you or any one else want to catch up there for a drive around the lake let me know and we can put that together. I would also be going through concord probably on mid-day Friday July 3rd as well...

Nice Cars Guys! I occasionally drive through concord going to Wolfeboro, NH (lakes region) so that is where I'm found from time to time. If we could get enough responses I would be up for some sort of meet someday, so we'll see what happens here on the board. I have to say that most of...

Can we get a showing of Vermont/New Hampshire Supras by posting on the forum? Since there are no posts I have found yet and have not met any supra owners in the Burlington VT area yet I'd love to see if any are out there. I frequent the Lakes Region in NH and live in Chittenden County...

I roam around the Lakes Region in NH (Wolfeboro and Ossipee) and Burlington Vermont. The shop where I spend most of my wrench time is owned by my good friend John Murray Owner of Murdawg Custom. (www.murdawgcustom.com) We rebuilt the engine and painted it in 06-07 and the car was on the road...

Your almost there! Keep up the good work! Don't loose hope, it looks like you've got things under control now. Rebuilding these cars takes a toll on all of us, I am 3 years into mine, and while having probably 15k into it and owning it for 5 years and only driving it for 1 summer is hard to...

This car will warrant an exorcism before you can ever drive it. Mothers will scuddle their children into the house to avoid a wrath of otherworldly corruption when they hear it coming. Highway toll men will wave you past for fear of retribution and even their best infrared cameras will be...

You were all completely right on this one. Unfortunately The car is at my buddy's shop and I argued with him even before (and after) posting this question to the forum about the need to pressurize the intake system to completely rule that out. No assumptions can be made. He eventually checked...

Car struggles to get to 30MPH, its difficult to even get it to move. Intercooler Piping is Complete, while not perfect, we are not missing clamps or pipes. If it had a leak here wouldn't it run LEAN? Sometimes you can drive the car so long as you do not get into any boost, then a little...

Problem Cannot build any boost at all. Car can be driven only if very careful not getting into the turbo. Has a hard time even getting up to 30mph because it will throw codes described below. Specifically 34 which we all associate with Fuel Cut as a result of High-Boost levels. Car runs...

So Justin, did you conclude that the turbo was infact your issue? I'm seeing the same issue, and am leading to that direction now that the smoking is getting worse, I am able to see it on deceleration.

UPDATE: Now smoking on deceleration, seems to smoke when throttle plate is closed (coasting in gear) At Cold Start after not running for 48 hours: Idles clear for 2-3 minutes then begins smoking. Advice from Forum: I checked my timing belt tensioner, it was torqued correctly. Will double...

The PCV route was a temporary thing that I tried as to eliminate the PCV system as a culprit. We did follow all of the TSRM torque specs, and I would be surprised to learn that this tensioner was not torqued correctly. I will get into it tomorrow after work and find out what it was set to.

Do you think this can be resolved by re torquing the bolt? What are the chances it would do any permanent damage to the wall. There are soooo many things you need to know about rebuilding a 7M, I felt like I honestly put due diligence in. A reputable machine shop, learned and applied as...

Poodles, can you please elaborate more on the over-tightening of the timing belt tensioner pulley bolt? Cyl 1 does seem a bit low, how could this have affected it?

Well it does do it after you come up to a light, used to be a now and then thing, but now it is doing it habitually when you are in neutral, idling. It also used to clear up after it idled a bit and now it is blowing smoke for a long period of time at idle. The car did not blow any smoke...

Hello Everyone, I’ve gone through the forums and tried all the major first steps for diagnosing this problem, and am looking for your help to further narrow it down. Symptoms: Smokes at Idle (blue), but does not appear to while driving UPDATE: Now smoking on deceleration, seems to smoke...

I am seeing the exact same issue with my 7MGTE. I see a lot of smoke when I'm idling at a stop light. When I get on it and build some good boost (out of traffic) there is no visible smoke. Most of the time when Idling the exhaust is as clear as can be, no trace of smoke, then sometimes after...
