    Rakkasan's rebirth

    Can you substantiate that the #6 cylinder is the hottest w/r to EGT? The head and coolant chambers in the vicinty of the #6 cylinder may run hotter than the the other cylinders, but this doesn't directly correlate to higher EGT's... If one wishes to utilize a single EGT sensor, then it's best...

    Custom clutch lines!

    I just double checked the links and realized I inputted the links for the brake lines, but my point remains nonetheless. The OEM tubes are surprisingly inexpensive ;)

    Custom clutch lines!

    I betcha you didn't check out the online EPC to determine the approximate cost of these tubes from the discounted part suppliers such Champion Toyota. Just a quick check: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/EPC/MKIII_NATO/parts/47321.html &...

    general afm ?'s

    What you're referring to is the Toyota's standard Vf signal, which is an indicator of how the ECU is trimming / adjusting the fuel delivery, and NOT a measurement of the incoming air. Also, the 7MGTE is a Karman Vortex system, therefore, the ECU measures and records air frequency, not voltage...

    Oil feed line question

    If your operating oil pressure is decent, ~40psi or greater, or if you're using a ball bearing turbo, then go with the -3 line, if not, then go with a -4 line (the stock turbo oil feed line is somewhat equivalent to the ID of a -4 line). And for god sakes, if you're using a journal bearing...

    click but no start

    Problem happening when car is hot or cold? If when hot, then the solenoid is getting heat soaked and you'll need an external solenoid to remedy that. If cold, then either low battery power, or the gap between contacts within the battery are now too wide. You could dissamble the battery and...

    checking for bad ground wire

    All you can do is to check for continuity by using the resistance function on the multimeter. The higher the number, the more resistance exist, and the poorer the connection is. - Make sure than there isn't any paint between the ground points. - Run the ground wires to one central location...

    HKS wastegate problems??

    I can't tell if you have the w/g plumbed correctly, because what I consider "top" port may be you bottom port and vice versa. Reference the APexi web site for more details: - http://apexi-usa.com/pdfInstallation/21.pdf (page 48 for external w/g). Which HKS W/G are you using? If the "high...

    Is there a PrecTurbo rep on SupraMania?

    Opting for a .68 A/R turbine housing for a GT4088 or larger compressor wheel GT type turbo I consider a bad idea. Note, the GT4088 is 56 trim, which indicates the compressor wheel is 88mm (exducer) and 64.7mm (inducer). Also, the flow efficiency, volume (mass), and power delivery of this...

    Shim bank

    Dave Henry used to loan out the shim kit (contained about 50+ shims) and I kinda use to manage whom had it last. I know have the shim kit in my garage but have since terminated the loan program. MoFo's use to remove shims and not replace them with the one being replaced. So essentially, the...
