    safe to weld fpd?

    Well I didn't think my post about the removal of the egr would get so much response :) Almost every topic you can find with the search mentions how easy it is to remove the egr, and since there is a popular demand for block-off plates i'd figure that it's ok to remove the egr on the 7M. Not...

    safe to weld fpd?

    it's quite common to remove the egr from the 7m. the japspec 7m's even came without them. but let's not go that much offtopic ok ? ;)

    safe to weld fpd?

    please read the first post and notice that it's not the egr but the fpd he's talking about. and yes i'm very familiar with what it's for. ;)

    Four years of progress on my 89 turbo

    Well, I've owned the supra since 2004 and I'm trying to make it a little better every year. It was completely stock when I bought it. In these four years the car has gone through a complete engine rebuild, an interiour refresh, has gotten new shoos and a new exhaust. This year it was time for...

    do 57 trim have stock internals?

    actually, there are rebuilders who use all the garrett t04(e?) internals when upgrading.

    starting off with Lex AFM and AFPR

    fuel is dependant of the amount of air that is measured. that's what a piggyback does. let the ecu think there is a different amount of air in the engine than is actually measured.

    SAFC question...

    It's quite common on the mk3 supra that the igniton lock connectors are fried. Most probably the safc is not your problem, especially when you have to turn the key over more than once to get everything powered up. btw have you tried a spare key? call me stupid but it happens that the key has...

    idle issues

    First check your timing and error codes. Does the stalling also occur when you rev the engine very hard when you open the TB by hand? If it only occurs under load (while driving or revving hard @ neutral) it can be a massive vacuum leak and you should check the upper and lower IC pipes.

    starting off with Lex AFM and AFPR

    Get a wideband sensor. Then you can finetune the lexus afm and fuel pressure to an optimum. It's better to get a good idle @ 14.7 with a Vf from around 2.25 using the AFPR. If done, then use a piggyback sysem like an S-AFC to tune the car in open loop (WOT) hth

    power steering fluid resiv.

    Do you mean the vacuum line that goes to your PS pump? It's going from the pump to the other side of the engine. there is a VSV for it. It is used as 'idle up': 1) Makes it easier to turn the car at idle RPM. 2) Makes the engine rev a little higher and prevent it from stalling when consuming...

    is it possible to turn compresssor side of turbo

    maybe a stupid remark, but i think it's worht mentioning: the 1st and 2nd generation 3S-GTE engines (celica 4wd turbo models) also use a ct-26 and on those engines the turbo is pointing upwards. maybe you can use a houssing from a celica ct26 ?

    installing aeromotive kit..

    You can just block off the EGR on the cilinder head and the intake mani, and plug the vacuum hose and you're good to go. No tuning needed. The EGR is used for better emission control. Make sure your car doesn't need it to pass emission tests. :)

    installing aeromotive kit..

    lol okay :) a little note on a tiny piece of your pm: The 'fuel in' side is at the fuel pulsation dampener. fuel runs from your fuel pump (in the gas tank) to the line i posted on the first page which goes to the pulsation dampener. from there it goes into the fuel rail. the fuel that is not...

    installing aeromotive kit..

    The ''J' tube is nothing more than a small tube with a restriction in it. if you want to use it, drill out the restriction. Normally there is a hose going from your stock fpr to the J tube, and there is a hose going from the J tube to the rest of the return line which is located near (under)...

    correct. :) on your fuel rail. It's on the right, when we consider the FPR to be on the left.

    Clear front side markers

    Nope. but you're close. It's a switch from my (now removed) custom alarm system. When armed it would go off once you try to pop the hood. :biglaugh: The glass looking shield is just some see-trough plastic. custom made and it's (obviously) against the heat soak. The IC cover is also...
