    Best sounding/performance Exhaust System for MA70 7MGTE Supra's

    The second I see "Aero-turbine muffler" the consideration would go out the window for me, personally.

    Confidence in my swap

    With competence and 3 or 4 times the amount of money you think you need, it'll run for the next 10 years with only normal maintenance.

    Best sounding/performance Exhaust System for MA70 7MGTE Supra's

    I've been running a catless NUR Spec R setup for 6 years, still loving every second of it. It does also come with a silencer which drastically tones it down. I consider myself to be on the fringe of what most people would call an acceptable drive-ability level though. If I had all the money in...

    Oil Leak

    I've had a similar issue for some time now as well, I have replaced every seal and hose on/near the front of the engine as well as the oil pan. From what I can tell it is most likely the rear (inside) timing cover gasket, which is irreplaceable without having the head off. Mine doesn't drip...

    Is this for diagnostics or because you think it will be better?

    7MGE-Turbo (GTE electronics) EXTREMELY LEAN (16+ AFR's) Above 4000rpms

    That's a curiously flat trace, last time I saw something like that on my car it wasn't properly regulating fuel pressure.

    Please not another popped head gasket.........weird temp issues yesterday!

    This does the same thing in a bit nicer fashion, matt. I've got one and it works brilliantly for coolant filling! http://www.lislecorp.com/divisions/products/?product=94

    lex afm, apexi neo, 440 inj. will this work

    OK, to ensure there isn't some misunderstanding, my setup is: Lex AFM, 3 bar base FP, Walbro 255 (The HP one), professionally cleaned 440s, as well as an SAFC 2 with a tuning scheme I developed on my own. Plus more than enough monitoring equipment onboard to be able to check almost any important...

    Mind you that was at sea level, so few places in the world will have a worse outcome than that. Its on the edge of what the ECU can do to keep the AFRs BONE STOCK, which many consider vastly too rich anyway. Not implying that this is an AFR tuning method, simply that it isn't harmful, and likely...

    Unfortunately the reference material had died with the old forum, so its no longer available. (yea, yea "That's convenient!"... well that's the truth.) The gist of my finding was that is was JUST within the ECU's correction ability (Show me the documentation that it's limit is in fact less...

    You say that like you've read it on the interweb, no doubt written by an "expert". I've tried, tested, and logged all of what I just described, myself. Might want to check yourself before spreading hearsay over tested fact.

    Vacuum help

    Well, it IS called a "piezoelectric device" in the literature. Essentially a tiny generator that creates electricity from vibrations.

    It was more a joke about the kind of person this happens to... not just that, it happens

    Vacuum help

    IIRC it's almost never the sensor... which isn't even a sensor, really.

    Yep, that'd do it. Pull it for at least 30 seconds.

    lex afm, apexi neo, 440 inj. will this work

    If the boost remains relatively the same, the addition of ONLY a Lexus AFM will do no harm at all. The ECU has enough capability to correct for the "strange" air sensor data its getting. May also lower fuel cut to compensate, since it modifies the open loop mapping by what learned values its...

    Fuel surge tank

    You especially don't need it if you run that collector like you plan to.

    Fuel surge tank

    Fuel cell foam could work in low G situations to an extent, but in situations where you start pouring on the g forces that foam just collapses under the weight of the fuel then expands again under no load, rendering it useless.

    SupraMania: What Do Yo Do? Who Are You In Life?

    I work in a broke industry, with no benefits, or job security, and don't get paid jack to do it. However I absolutely LOVE doing it, and can't imagine ever being happy not at least in some way being a part of it. ;-)
