    External Auto Transmission Cooler

    In all seriousness, what are the benefits of having the fluid up to temp quicker? I've had my external installed for 3 years that completely bypasses the radiator cooler, and have not had any issues...

    Wow man...I'm one of the guys who actually took the time to write you various suggestions, and with a lack of information from your part, also tried to give you practical knowledge on how to "burn out." In fact, I returned to this thread in hopes you've replied with some more information so that...

    Boost controller issues

    Interesting...take it to someone who knows what they are doing...have them set it up for you...show you how to do it...problem solved. That's my advice. With your mods you should be able to boost 10+psi w/o a controller...and you should be hitting fuel cut everytime. Something isn't adding up.

    Boost controller issues

    32 PSI or 32 Duty? Some of those read duty and you have to turn it up to maybe 50 to break 10psi on a ct26... If it's hooked up and set correctly, you should get consistent boost. 7psi one moment and 12 the next? Under the same conditions? You might need to have someone look at it. Probably...

    Summer Daily Driver Build

    Updates for 2012. So I lost compression in #1 and was undecided around whether to swap or build. Because I had thousands of dollars invested in supporting mods for the 7m, I decided to stick with it. My goal is still to have a low to mid 400rwhp daily driver. I'm feeling pretty confident with...

    Suggestions on down pipes, and exhaust in general

    Get the exhaust...chances are in a few months to a year...the dress will be "out of style" and will just sit in a closet. You'll use the exhaust everyday. I got my turbo back DDP off of ebay 5 years ago...stainless...flows awesome and was one of the most bangs for the buck investments for the...

    Name My Rear End

    So, I've had a question as to what my rear end differential is in my 89 supra. I've learned with the research I've done that there is a 89 version of my car, and then there were slight changes in the 89.5 to a few things in the car...and I was wondering if the differential might be among those...

    Engine Cutting Out on a new build & AEM; Is this an electrical issue?

    I just had my motor rebuilt by a reputable performance shop, and then tuned by one of the best in the region. After picking the car up from the tuner, I drove it about 20 mins and then started experiencing an issue under mild acceleration. Under "light load" the car drives/performs well, and...

    Stick with the 7mgte or swap for 1jz?

    Cheapest and a very reliable answer is to just maintain the 7m. When you get any other motor...from anywhere...you better got through it (even a 2jz) because you could be dealing with a lemon. And the last thing you want is to have a new motor in your car and blow it up because of a spun bearing...

    Took supra to the shop need some advice

    Calibrating CPS: http://mkiiisupra.net/bbs/showthread.php?t=12132&highlight=guide+cam It's definitely a pain to get into. But...it's definitely doable. Refer to the TSRM while you do it as well... Before you start...see if it's loose...wiggle it until it's running well...and then screw it in...

    Took supra to the shop need some advice

    If the alarm is going off...it prevents the car from running. It's essentially a kill switch. I had a code 12/24/52 before. I replaced the CPS...didn't get any better...(you can have my old one if you want as long as you cover shipping)...and it turned out to be a short in in the series at the...
