Tuning is pretty complicated, so I wouldn't try to match other people's AFRs without knowing why they are running them. In general, 11-11.5:1 is a safe AFR for a boosted car, but a good tuner will probably run 12:1 at low rpms to help spool (leaner = hotter = more exhaust energy), then ramp...

IJ, its a plug-and-play box. He's running some extra sensors, so he needs to run like 5 wires to the ECU. It still shouldn't take more than two hours, so unless your time is worth >$200/hour I can't see paying someone to just do the install. If he had a Motec or other EMS, then a $400 install...

I believe Doc J had a similar problem. You might try PMing him, as I can't remember what his solution was. At the time, he was thinking it was CPS/ignitor related although the car ran fine on the stock ecu...

I LOLed so hard at this thread I'm wiping tears right now. Congrats Nate

All of the race cars that can run ABS do (many classes/series don't allow it). But the systems in use now are far more advanced than ours...

Cool. wait, so that's like what, 50 miles? :evil2: jk, congrats

Hard brake lines are incredibly easy to fit... Just go to your local auto parts store and buy a few strands in long lengths and bend/cut/flare them to fit your needs.

I guess it depends on your definition of "out perform." No human can cycle a brake pedal 10-15 times in a second. But that isn't where the human vs ABS debate has merit. ABS pros: *Any idiot can stomp on the brakes and stop near optimally on smooth flat ground. *Any idiot can stomp on the...

I've done this very thing, cutting power to the ABS computer with a switch (basically the same as pulling the ABS fuse). Just a quick note: If you flip the switch to turn off ABS while driving, and then later want to turn it back on, the abs system will still be off. You'll have to cycle the...

It might emit less if it had all the visual components, but it might emit more. My car ran cleaner on the AEM ems than on the stock ECU, but since the check-engine light wouldn't flash when they shorted T and E1, it failed visual... Another example: You bought an Injen intake for your S2000...

It is a longshot, but I've sent letters to my representatives outlining my idea and if you agree, I'd encourage you to do the same. The program: Waive the visual portion of smog checks if the vehicle's actual tailpipe emissions are less than half of the maximum allowed for an unmodified car...

A few people have made 400+ on ct26 as well. JBLmk3 comes to mind. I wouldn't recommend pushing either twin ct12s or 1 ct26 to that level, as I doubt the turbos will last long...

That's not a complete part number... It should be 87138-24030 http://cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291220/Parts/87138.aspx Should be about $33

I thought you were on a ford rear end IJ?

did the swaybar bracket break? or did the sheetmetal on the "frame" rail break?

The coworker that sticks out most in my mind for being a moron was named Todd. Everyone called him Retodd (telling him it was because he replaced another guy named todd). He never got it either....

If you have the money, get a nice 2-way. If not and your car is used mainly for events, I'd weld an open diff (just make sure to have a spare diff handy because it will eventually break) But, like others have said, this won't be a pleasant daily driver. To quote IJ, it will be rather...

sorry to hijack, but the slipping clutch thing reminded me of an old worktruck we had at a delivery company. It was a diesel, but the "ignition" (not sure what else to call it) was fubar so when you'd turn the key off it would keep running. The bosses were too cheap to fix it, so we had to...

well the good news is that now anytime you come flying up on some slow asshole in the fast lane -- they'll see the body damage to your car and move out of the way...

I loved my welded NA diff for drifting. During the peak of the drifting season, I went through 1 stock LSD a month (clutch plates would just wear out quickly). The welded diff lasted about 4 months before it blew up, and cost much less than continually buying used lsds. I never had any...
