    Requesting assistance with SSQV installation. (>^_^)>

    Okay, I'll try to help. Yes, you can just plug the stock bov locations. and the whole "car dying in traffic" thing that was mentioned earlier never was a big deal for me. Basically, if you boost, and push the clutch in, the idle will drop pretty low, since metered air was let off and the...

    The Hot Rod Power Tour, Supra Powered Maverick

    I have a '66 avanti II that I was thinking about going this route with, but I'm pretty sure my father (who's a die hard studebaker fan) would have a heart attack. Maybe I could talk him into a twin turbo 1uz...hmmm. That's a killer car, though! Keep up the good work.

    There should be a gasket there.

    Wifey's New Grocery Getter

    Not really. I didn't see the point in having them, so I just ran my car (which is a turbo car, if that matters) with them unplugged for a while to see, then when we installed my FFIM, we just went ahead and got rid of them. I'm sure someone on here will tell you that there's a reason why...

    Wifey's New Grocery Getter

    As previously mentioned, they're for the vsv's, and they're not needed. I went as far as to seperate the wires from my harness and completely remove them.

    How I relocated my alternator.

    Yeah, you'd still have to get rid of it. With the q45tb mounted where it was on my manifold, there was really no way around that... ...plus I removed my non-functioning a/c system a long time ago, so it wasn't a huge loss to me. This is probably the best photo I have to demonstrate the...

    How I relocated my alternator.

    After deciding that I didn't want to pay the cost of buying an alternator relocation bracket, this is the solution I came up with. Materials needed: Universal Alternator Bracket for a small block, which looks like this: You can get them at pretty much any parts store (mine came from...

    Picture of the Day!

    A little bit. I have a fascination with old buildings and the architecture of them so usually I end up weighing the risks of what would happen if I get caught and go in anyway.

    My first Supra!

    That I have no idea about. I've never had an automatic supra. I wouldn't think so, though. In my car if I shifted fast enough it didn't bog down at all (at least I couldn't feel it if it did) so I doubt it would affect acceleration. Of course, if you ran a maf-translator, or maft pro, or map...

    My first Supra!

    Well, yes. Unless you're get the recirculation fitting on the ssqv. Basically, if you floor the car, whenever you let off (and the BOV goes off) it's going to let off air (obviously), but since the AFM is before the turbo, the ECU has already metered that air and added enough fuel for the proper...

    My 86.5 1JZ --> 1.5JZ Swap

    Nice build! ...and I'd pull the motor, too, if I had clutch issues. Swapping ANY clutch in a supra with the motor still in is not fun. Ever.

    This was a running, driving 1jz car 24 hours ago...

    Oh, I know. It was a nice car when it was all together. The poor thing's been hauled to the crusher, though. :-(

    fuel tank drain plug thread size/pitch?

    I hear ya. We're building a fuel system involving an a-1000 and I need to know the size before I order fittings and such. Looks like I'm just going to have to measure it. Damn it. Thanks anyway guys.
