In order for the exhaust to line up how you want, bolt it up piece by piece without torquing them down and then line it up + torque. An easy way to work with the rubber hangers is to spray them with WD40 and use a stout screw driver. As for the gasket, it really doesn't matter at all; it will...

Oh wow... I love the maft-pro. No more boost cut at 10 psi at 5000rpm! It's tempting to log every single time I drive :P. I can't wait to start adjusting little by little. /excited posting

Ok, I installed the MAFT-Pro and it is running! Before I wired it in, I made myself a wiring diagram from the collective knowledge of this and the other thread. It is a little rough because I drew it by hand and then took a picture of it (no scanner). I edited in the MAFT-pro colors and the...

Looking like a good start. It'll be nice to start with a fresh motor if you do end up going with all new internals.

I've had people aggressively tailgate me before. I just tap the brakes at first. If that doesn't work, I slow down. If they keep tailgating, I slow down more and more, then I take off :P. I had a car get so close that I could see the whole car under the spoiler and I couldn't see their...

Yes, but what I was asking about was the discontinuity of each of the install instructions. The manual provided with the maft-pro says to tap that wire, not splice it. The thread actually refers to the contradicting instructions right under it. I just didn't want to go head first into...

(EDIT: new wiring diagram showing exactly what to do is posted on post #9) Before I start off, I have searched and read through all the maft-pro archived threads that I can (a lot of the thread link listings are dead and don't work) and I am still seeing conflicts in wiring...

Even though there isn't a picture, I am pretty sure you are talking about the rock shielding in front of the rear tires on the body. It's an extra thick layer that has faded/cracked over time (ironically enough, to keep the paint under it from chipping away and looking bad).

They are fine to weld, might just wire brush the immediate spot you are going to weld. The aluminumized steel resists rusting better than just mild steel. I made my exhaust with mild steel mandrel bends (found some for cheap) and a long section of aluminumized steel; the bends have rusted over...

Nice write up on the brake upgrade Tony, they look nice. Kinda makes me feel unsafe with the small supra brakes :P. The car is down once again (installing the maft-pro). Hopefully it will be done within two weekends (taking the first round of tests this week and the next kinda slows down work...

I would definitely find out why the timing belt got chewed up on the engine side. Could be something like a washer missing throwing off the alignment of the belt. Is the belt on the center of the cam pulleys? On my friend's 3SGTE, he forgot to put a washer on behind the tensioner and the belt...

He needs to check his tread direction on the tires :P

I just got done building my 12'x3' workbench this past winter break. I still have to wire in some quad plugs, buy another shop light, and wire the lights into the garage light switch. School kinda got back in the way for now, that and installing the maft-pro. This was right after we...

Yeah, I'm not selling my car anytime soon; I was just wanting a way to go back to stock just in case something went wrong with the electronics so that I could still drive. And I referred to the dead maft-pro threads in a sense that they didn't have anything about going plug-and-play (I already...

Hey all. I am just now getting around to installing my full maft-pro kit. I know that I am going to be wiring/soldering a ton. I was wanting to make my own plug-and-play harness connector that would allow me to revert back to stock if I ever wanted. Something that would do either one of two...

I bet you could do it with the head in the car. I vaguely remember doing something with it a while back with the engine still intact.

I second getting Maximum Boost, awesome book.

For reference sake, 1-6-3-4-2-5 is the order they plug into the coil pack, 1-5-3-6-2-4 is the physical firing order of the engine.

I use the nipple coming off the back of the intake manifold (closest to the firewall) that runs a T to the cruise control and heater. I took out my cruise control and changed around the T, so I can't remember exactly what it is like stock.
