    little problem is turning HUGE

    Hook a little zapper up to your gas pedal. Hit positive boost, get shocked. Above 30% throttle, get shocked.

    Has anyone Overdosed off of Caffeine before?

    Nice data, but wrong. Bawls has 10mg per bottle, regular MD is 36 per serving, Livewire has more but I can't find the data to back that up, so assume 36. 40MG from the Bawls, 1728 from the Livewire. You're not even batting 500 with your 3 Red Bulls and the Rockstar.

    Intake manifold physics

    I always thought shape didn't make a whole lot of difference in a boosted app, but made all the difference in the world n/a. Everything else I know I learned from IJ and he already posted.

    Has anyone Overdosed off of Caffeine before?

    You guys all fail. 48 Live Wires in an hour, NOTHING. 6 Red Bulls back to back, NOTHING. 2 Monsters back to back, NOTHING. 4 Bawls back to back, NOTHING.

    Turbotax.com rant

    Seriously, any time anything (with computers) goes wrong I figure it out myself, some Hindi giving me garbled directions I probably wouldn't understand face to face doesn't help at all.

    When is Supramania's Birthday?

    '97 here, at the whopping age of 6. This is the best site I've ever been on, period. You could have any problem, with any kind of anything, and SOMEONE on this board could at least make an educated guess at the problem. When I joined a little over a year ago, I knew very very little about...

    1992 plymouth van = trans problem

    I've got a 94 Acclaim, I think it has the same tranny. Super shitty. 24k on a rebuild, never run low on tranny fluid, never overheated it, already having issues. POS Chrysler transmission. Tough body and motor, though.

    1000hp 7m? parts list?

    How about a piece of paper saying Quin just got owned right next to your blower? Right next to the dyno chart. I'm still having trouble believing you. A lot of trouble, actually. I don't remember anything good about L98s

    HELP! engine just dies...

    My car did this when I had several large boost leaks, I'd recommend starting there. Do you have an aftermarket BOV, by any chance?

    sputtering problems

    I just noticed you have a BOV and not a bypass. Check the spring to make sure it's fully closed and isn't allowing metered air out. This definitely sounds like a boost leak to me. You need to make a boost leak tester, and use it. Check your plugs, too.

    NA Pistons and cams in a Turbo motor?

    Compression raises pressure, you just answered your own question. It doesn't pull more in by itself but it allows more to fit in the cylinder.

    NA Pistons and cams in a Turbo motor?

    Higher compression also means more O2, but also limits the amount of boost you can run safely.

    NA Pistons and cams in a Turbo motor?

    Pistons are made out of the same stuff, IIRC. Only difference is the NA isn't dished for lower compression.

    Smoking

    Thanks. I'm thinking I just didn't get the tstat housing tightened down on the bottom bolt. It's either that or the upper rad house where it meets the tstat housing. It usually smokes a little on startup but this was a lot, and it was coming from my catchcan. Nfi, it went away without me messing...

    cruise control (no bueno)

    Is it hooked up under the hood? Also, this might help http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=BE&P=58

    Looking for some educated answers

    1J could be cheaper. It all depends on how the 7M was taken care of. If the 7M has excessive mileage or hasn't been well taken care of, you'll need a slightly better than stock rebuild, which could very well equal or exceed the cost of a 1JZ swap. I'd rather have a 450hp 7M than an equivalent...
