    I might sell my soul for Prosport Peak and Hold gauges

    off the wall question - do you wear sunglasses with polarized lenses? Because if its just a glare thing (with the sun) then that would help a lot. If the backlighting is LED (like a digital gauge) than that will make it worse....

    Getting out an R154 ?!?!?!?!

    The fork you can just pull out (takes a little wiggling and a hard tug). I would leave the PP bolted to the flywheel for two reasons: 1. the throwout bearing and pilot bearing are lined up already - so there should not be any binding on the input shaft 2. the 154 is heavy - why make it heavier...

    tuning help, rich idle, stumble, rich decel.

    from the way it sounds you have more than enough fuel on top. fp is not going to impact fuel cut unless taken to an extreme low, where you have to add fuel - but by that time it will run so poorly (if at all) at idle that I wouldn't worry about that issue at all. Hook up a MM to the diag block...

    tuning help, rich idle, stumble, rich decel.

    Are you logging vf? By tuning under WOT (or low maps on the safc), the safc is fighting the tccs. I would set the low maps back to 0, check VF, but my guess is you fp is too high hence the richness. In the FAQ section there is a post on how to tune for VF with the lex/550 combo.

    Went to the Dyno :)

    IIRC, Tim@SP told me that they ship with either a 14 or 8 psi wastegate (14psi, actually 1 bar, so 14.7, comes standard). So if everything is working properly and that is indeed what wastegate you have, that is probably close to what you are boosting...

    STOLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sorry for your loss - It is ridiculous when people of today's modern society cannot have at least the minimal respect of other's property and not fuck with what is not theirs. And it sucks to have something nice, yet constantly worry about some asshole doing something out of spite (stealing...

    can we use this port for the oil drain???

    Did you plug the return on the stock oil pan (return from stock oil cooler)? That could be an idea for a drain.

    Engine comes out this weekend - advice please

    If you're pulling the tranny at the same time, then don't worry about it. If you aren't, mine was cut by the p/o right below the egr and installed a connector. Much easier that way.

    valve cover hex bolts?

    22in/lbs is the spec. I put a stud/nut combo for the rears, as one of the holes in my new head was less than ideal. With the hose coming out of the back of the head it is easy to cross thread the rear holes on the exhaust side cover if you aren't careful.

    Finally got my Supra on the road course.....

    I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. It's not difficult to remain compliant with a little forthought placed in the modifications. I think the general problem is misinformation and the mentality referenced here. I've been modding cars for near 10 years and have yet to have...

    Finally got my Supra on the road course.....

    Like what? 4 great road courses (Thunder Hill, Sears Pt, Laguna Seca and Buttonwillow) and perfect driving weather? Yeah, that's a bunch of crap...:icon_razz

    Ford Mustang Wheel Fitment

    but I would take true FMS wheels over shitty south east asian castings any day of the week.

    Finally got my Supra on the road course.....

    how was the main strait? I always thought t-hill would be fun in the supra. I have to ask, did you have the big marbles to hang it out through turn 1? just curious how fast you were going through there.... Great pics btw!

    Ways to cure 7M oiling issues

    I think Ian had a valid point at it wasn't directed completely (or solely) towards you. Its more of a thought process thing (or lack there of) that runs rampent in the modifying community. Doesn't matter if its mkiii's, mkiv's (ask the same dumbshit ?'s on SF 'which exhaust is better' 'can I run...

    oil temp/pressure question

    sandwich plate = adapter on the block, won't have an effect on actual oil pressure except: you are reading the pressure at the pump outlet. Not what the motor sees (has to pass through the cooler set-up. Ever blown through a straw?). I think a more accurate way to see 'real' pressure would be to...

    Ever faint in the bathroom and bang your head on the tub..?

    Sort of. I passed out with my head on the toilet seat. Tag-teamed by Crown Royal and Lagunitas Maximus. booze 1, me 0. While I felt like ass, when I saw the chick that I was dancin' with that night, I'm glad I drank too much...

    Looks good. I think I'll have to jump on this bandwagon...

    I might sell my soul for Prosport Peak and Hold gauges

    How do you like them so far? I was about to order a few and was curious as to how they 'worked' (movements, how quickly they react, etc..)

    heater circuit to power wideband?

    Thanks for the response guys. JJ: I'm running the MPro for tuning w/ plans on using the p/t tracking for general cruising once everything is tuned correctly. When I re-wrapped the harness I wanted to try and simplify things (run 1 sensor) but incase that didn't work as planned, I didn't...
