My 87 was setup to drift (turbo, hardtop, cusco front and rear strut bars ... if they actually do anything...) megan coilovers set to full hard and shaved tires (or wore out.. hard to tell.. lol). W58 transmission seemed to be faster acceleration than my R154, but less top end. Not sure if thats...

Mine sits at -4 while not boosting...

Love that vid!

lol, its funny... I have a red 90 and a grey 88 as well. : ) If you are replacing trim on your red one, mine has grey trim and it looks really good as well (so if you wonder... ) Welcome to the Forums!

After running this setup for a couple months, the only comment I have for fitment is that the rears stick out a touch too much. I was running on the highway when I hit some dips and with stock suspension the wheel well lip hit the tire. Considering getting a different setup for the car now...

(I give up.. lol. deleted my comment until I actually grow a brain).. research time.

Okay then, I think I grasp it now. Generally speaking (ignoring any potential ill effects of E85 on a MK3 fuel system because there are no "hard facts", just warnings to be aware...) E85 allows you to do adjustments to the engine that will allow for more HP over normal pump gas. Generally...

Nice, another grey! : ) Is the top painted black or is that an illusion?

lol.. ah well.. this thread is confusing because the physics dont match the statements. I dont run it so I cant make a qualified statement. However.. "just the physics" of E85 suggest that the only benefit for a turbo charged/supercharged/whatever car being tuned for it is higher resistance to...

Superior to Pump gas in performance??? Umm... other than the fact that it may be less damaging to the environment coming out the tail pipe or that it is less likely to detonate... how is it superior? Please explain. The higher resistance to detonation is not really arguable.. but if you think...

1200 cc injectors? Makes me wonder whats inside the block. Somebody must have gotten mixed up.. nobody builds an engine for 1200 cc injectors and slaps on a "green" turbo.. and then dynos under 400... whoops.. I take that back.. "green" fuel rail.

They can move around quick on an iphone.. and can text while driving and survive somehow... but... ask them to see how the fluids are in the car and they stare blankly. Different generation from when I was born. I turned 16.. and immediately got my license.. tore apart 3 engines that year...

Fuel pumps and hoses must also be made of non-corroding materials, and stainless steel should be used for fuel tanks. (Kind of vague, but I guess its considered a warning to watch as its more corrosive than gasoline?) The lower energy content of E85 results in slightly lower fuel economy and...

As time goes by the systems get better. I know the tire shops hated them when I talked to the boys doing my wheels a couple years back. Especially when they had to explain them to the people who had them. I like how my daughter's Dodge Journey will tell here what the tire levels are without her...

I have always wondered about that. If I were to try to speed shift from 1st to 2nd, I would grind. So.. i dont do it. Always wondered what it would be like if I could.. lol. Is it a HUGE job to redo the syncros or is it a full rebuild on the R154?

I had a 6 puck clutch on stock pressure plate on my 87. It was a bit stiffer on the pedal but not enough to complain about. Held the torque fine for a 19 psi boost.

I had same problem.. kinda.. 1st is a tough shift.. 2nd same.. Went Redline fluid.. has helped, but still stiff shift. I ignore it. Our first 2 gears arent really that hot on the R154 for off the line racing... I concentrate on 3-4-5 (race from a roll). Saves tires too.. lol. Redline MT...

oooo..nice.. ty : )

kk, correct me if I'm wrong.. but you dont NEED to change the intercooler from stock for a 350 rwhp Supra. 3" exhaust, Lexus AFM, 550 cc injectors, 57 trim (or similar) turbo, boost controller. Its probably the cheapest HP point on the 7MGTE if I recall my research. No need for metal head...

BC gets 94 Octane.. Alberta gets 91... why??? lol
