This was a question PMd to me. I like to post these things in the forum so all can see the answer: The signal that the AEM C2DI is designed to recognize is not produced by the 2JZGTE AEM ECU (30-1100). In order to make the C2DI work, you have to install the ignitor or modify the AEM...

If you want to make a quick fun toy then I would recommend raising the c/r by shaving the head. Do some math first for the C/R, but chances are that your car may be on its way to BHG anyway.... Spend the 300 shaving the head and getting a MHG and some ARP bolts or studs. Set the c/r to 10.5 or...

Yeah the lube is nice because you can just wipe off the valve cover as you go with a rag and see how it looks. Another useful polishing tool is the rotary paint strippers/grinders that look like brillo pads. They are round and are usually red or green. They can be used in the place of higher...

The problem with a lightweight flywheel is that it removes some of the dampening effect on the engine. In some aspects its kind of like going with a lightweight underdrive pulley. Actually, Carbonetic offers an option where you can add weight to their aftermarket clutch plates to make them run...

ok since you dont have a stock one you should be able to get one for CHEAP. Most people just throw them out because they arent a real high-value item. For a 7MGE you should just go with a stock W58 clutch. www.rockauto.com is a good place to get one or you can get an oem spec one from ebay...

Yeah go with 200, 300, etc etc. I have found that using a spray lubricant with whatever media you are using is helpful. I prefer the "lubricant" from wal-mart. Cheap and effective and keeps the aluminum from building up on your stuff.

I wouldnt waste $300 on a flywheel but thats just me.... I think the heavy flywheel is one of the things that should stay the way it is.

You dont want to bead blast or get too rough with them. The whole point of polishing is to make the surface as smooth as possible. Use paint stripper to clean the paint off of them first. Then, use the finest grit that you can reasonably expect to smooth the casting flash off of them. I...

So you jumpered FP and B+ ? Do you have 12v at b+ where you jumpered it? If not, your fuel pump will not work. I assume you are looking at this too: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TEWD/MK3/manual.aspx?S=Main&P=46 It sounds like you are on the right track, but the stock fuel pump is...

If you want to run the 1/4 as fast as possible as cheap as possible: Torque down your head bolts. Perform some routine MX like valve adjustment and oil change, etc. Dont be a cheap bastard and kill your car. Put in a n/a differential (LSD) Quality boost controller (AVCR has a gauge on...

what does your temperature gauge say when it is warmed up?

I dont think that your 500 hp bottleneck is going to be the 7m manifold - I built two of mine for simplicity of intercooler installation and to clean up the bay a bit. It also gave me an excuse to throw a q45 TB on there.

Your car rules.

I think you have an issue with your IACV - idle air control valve. I assume you are running a map sensor - do you have a good connection from MAP sensor to manifold? Also, are you running resistor-type spark plugs? You may notice that some of your sensor wires are shielded. Running...

Why is everybody saying 500 hp is the limit on the stock manifold? Do you guys know somebody that tried to push it past and couldnt until they put on a FFIM? This one made 730 or so.....

Your timing is off - ignition or mechanical

You dont need starting fluid. You just need fresh gas. You arent starting a 1980 Ford Pickup.

level and straight are two different things - what are we talking about here?

I dont even have a MKIV supra in town to look at.

If you dont have a machinist straight edge you can probably get by with a nice clean metal straight edge of a common tool. No, its not ideal, but it will let you know if you have bigger problems... The block must be clean before you start. I prefer to use the generic "lubricant" from wal-mart...
