    1.00mm oversized rings??

    Hey all, So I've got my engine torn apart and I had figured it would be no big deal to order a new set of rings. The old ones aren't bad, there's less than 30K on the motor since it was re-bored and machined and all that - I can still see the cross-hatch on the cylinders like brand new so it...

    lean under part throttle boost?

    I had the same issue and used the maft-pro to tune around it. What I think is happening (at least in my case) is that since it's only part-throttle the TCCS doesn't really expect boost and tries to hold it at 14.7ish as usual. Since flow is increased by the more open exhaust you're turbo is...

    Vf tuning question (Maft Pro)

    Yep, I have both the w.b. and stock narrowband O2 sensors running, the stock one still feeds the ECU in closed loop. You can use a simulated narrowband output from the wideband and feed that to your ECU if you want

    This can't be right - excessive blow-by?

    Dang! I was hoping you'd say "totally normal, that means your engine is extra powerful!" :) That sucks, I was hoping to do the engine refresh over the next two weeks without having to do rings - current (OEM) pistons and rings only have about 26,000 miles on them and the cylinders were honed at...

    This can't be right - excessive blow-by?

    Actually, yeah, a couple of times I've found the stick popped up and oil coming out of the dipstick hole, I replaced the o-ring but that didn't fix it. What could that mean?

    This can't be right - excessive blow-by?

    No intentional PCV system mods... My intent was to have everything hooked up like stock but the first thing I thought of when I saw that puddle tonight was that I screwed something up. I did notice a couple of times in the past week or so, oil coming out of the blow-off valve. That could have...

    This can't be right - excessive blow-by?

    So I just got back from a spirited drive, a couple runs 0-140, lots of messin about and while I let the car cool I opened the hood to look around and found this big puddle of oil under my air filter (obviously my air filter is soaked with oil now too)... Luckily I'm running a Maft-Pro so it...

    Dan88T's Re-Re-Build

    Thanks, I might lower the rear another inch or so, I like it when the car looks level front to back, but I'm not sure, I really like driving around not worrying about smashing my exhaust resonator on every pothole - roads in my town have turned to total crap over the past few years... I hope I...

    Dan88T's Re-Re-Build

    Well I got the Stance coilovers installed over the weekend, So far I'm pleased, I don't have much to compare it to but the coils are definitely better than the saggy Intrax springs they replaced and the 4 blown shocks. The ride is firm and, I'm not sure what words to use, but it feels 'stuck' to...

    Dan88T's Re-Re-Build

    Huh, it never really occurred to me but you're right, it could be dog or whatever other animal they might have over there... Yeti maybe? That'd be cool, I might just start telling people that my seats are made of Himalayan Yeti hide.. The paint I went with was called UreKem, it was a cheap...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Today me and my Supra waited for the UPS guy to arrive... and he did! I can't wait to get these installed this weekend - and I can't believe I just ordered them last Wednesday and they're here already - fastest shipping I've ever gotten from a "tuner parts" type of online vender - thanks...

    Vf tuning question (Maft Pro)

    A question on the VE table, if I edit the table while connected to the MaftPro and with Emulation enabled and all that, shouldn't I see changes on the Wideband right when I make the change and save it? I was making changes around the idle and kept lowering and lowering it since it was running...

    Vf tuning question (Maft Pro)

    Hi, I got around to running that O2 test yesterday (I'd done it a few weeks back but I'm at a loss for what else to try) and it oscillated as expected. You're confirming everything I thought, the TCCS is supposedly adding max-fuel while the wideband says I'm running a little bit rich. But...

    Dan88T's Re-Re-Build

    It was an ebay seller, I can't remember the name but I'll look thru my old emails and see if I can find it. I believe they were in Hong Kong, the entire set was around $350ish I think. I know everyone hates the Chinese eBay stuff but I'm very happy with this particular product - it's gotten more...

    Dan88T's Re-Re-Build

    I can't be trusted with a build thread, I suck with timely updates :) So yesterday I washed the Supra, took a few pictures... I finally got some shots of the interior (still bits and pieces missing) I also set up the enhanced TPS stuff on the Maft Pro - it did fix the lean spot I was...

    Vf tuning question (Maft Pro)

    My stock O2 sensor is in the stock location and still hooked up as usual. I actually even replaced it last weekend because the wiring was such a mess and I had a spare anyway. It didn't change any of the weird Vf issues I was seeing tho. Fuel Pressure is set 36PSI w/out vacuum Vf is 0.00 for the...

    Dan88T's Re-Re-Build

    Hey, I've been meaning to put together a new build thread for a long long time, I figure now that the summer is winding down and my build is basically going from semi-complete to starting over I might as well start a thread... Here's the long-winded, rambling, and boring backstory, I bought my...

    Vf tuning question (Maft Pro)

    Hi, So yesterday I finally got around to installing my Maft Pro. I have it set up in speed density mode and the boost controller set up and working. I have it tapped in to monitor Vf on Ax1 and this is where I'm confused. At idle Vf pretty much stays at 4.43 volts. Once it's warmed up and...

    ebay r154 synchro kit

    I'm not sure if this is what you're looking at or not. I used this ebay r154 rebuild kit along with a Spec stage 2+ clutch kit and I've been beating the hell out of it (essentially still learning to drive a stick - driving it like a video game, lots of ill-timed downshifts and hard launches...

    Is an Mkiii the right car for me?

    I'm not sure why everyone is always so negative about college kids and Supras here - I got my '88 turbo for $3500 in 1997 when I was 19 and daily drove it all the way thru college and my first few years in the "real world" putting a minimum of 50 miles per day on it throughout that whole time...
