Although you say vac is strong, it almost sounds like mechanical timing is off a tooth(not ignition timing).
I'd give the suggestion(a guess) to remove the timing cover, and check the cam position vs. true TDC on the crank, by placing a chopstick or something similar into spark plug hole #1.
If I had that car, the only mods I would do would be reversible, such as intake and exhaust.
I wouldn't mess with anything external, except perhaps wheels.
If you have a built engine(which, at 9:1 is already higher comp than stock), why not fix the bearing issue, and spend the real money on better components elsewhere, like fuel and induction upgrades?
These will be the more important bottlenecks.
I get half of what youre saying. The original 12v feed is powering a relay, so that the stepup box gets input straight from the battery??
Maybe you'll get bored and post a diagram?
Ok, so you solved the 15psi limit, and got to 16psi...

And you're saying that your cps wiring was the main issue?
The wheels came out very nice.
Sorry that you couldn't find a 17" option that you liked, as I think 17's are the proper size for the MkIII if you're looking for modern yet understated.
I know there was someone who had custom 'rebarreled' sawblades made that gave them increased width, but I don't...
WHAT?
Are you in the GA Supra owners page on FB? I live in Lawrenceville.
We've been trying to set up 'repair meets', where- instead of having a meet to look at the Suras that DO run, we can get together at someone's house, and work on one that doesn't.
That way, the running supras come to the...
It will still be awhile. While the engine seems to run pretty well(a slight hesitation on hard throttle jabs), I have a lot of bodywork to do.
Maybe it's time for a gameplan update:
The initial plan was, to do the interior as stage 3, but I have decided to get into the bodywork instead.
The...
It's referred to as "light smoke" tint, 90% light transmission.
It was only like a $12 total investment, so no harm done, if it didn't work.
People say that if you use nightshade, you have to spray clearcoat over it. I didn't want to deal with that.
The professional method is to have someone...
