    7mgte ffim gains?

    It does indicate though that gains from just FFIM are going to be hard to measure, since it will mean that you upgrade more than just the one thing. The only way that you'll be able to find gains from JUST a FFIM are if someone uses the same IC, same size IC pipes and same TB. That will...

    88 supra rear speaker

    A 5.25 will fit in those enclosures with a little bit of work, not too hard, and a big upgrade, but really, I ended up pulling mine out entirely, since in the end, I found that they caused me more problems than they were worth. With no rear speakers at all, I got better RTA scores, and better...

    Boosting to much

    Lexus AFM, 550cc injectors, and I had my CT26 dialed in for 12 lbs boost, but went as far as 15 lbs boost while trying things out. I scaled back to 12 lbs, since I was still running the factory fuel pump and FPR at the time. After changing up the turbo for a 60-1 turbonetics, and adding in...

    eliminate hac sensor

    Well, What I'm understanding here is that the OP re-wired the car, and now somehow the HAC sensor is not working. From this, I deduce that the OP HAS a HAC sensor, so it's an '86.5-'88 car. I also deduce that there's a code coming up in the ECU and that it's probably a HAC sensor code, causing...

    Charging voltage

    Well, 12.5V actually. You include subs in that, and it's hard to say anymore, but that doesn't sound like a problem to me. 13.8V is the nominal regulated voltage, and is perfect to keep the battery charged.

    $80 Black-and-White Photo of my Mk III!

    I totally agree that photo enforcement is a cash grab. Plus there's nothing like the feeling of getting a photo of your stolen car in the mail with a ticket. I feel that it's very telling what the police know about the deterrent effect when they say that they're going to expand the number of...

    MKiii aftermarket alarm questions

    I've done the "no siren" thing. I've also set up a supersonic screamer (The kind meant at low power to repel mice and the like) at much higher power inside the cabin. I put these on a 30 second delay, so that if I need to disarm the alarm with the key, I have time to do so first. These things...

    $80 Black-and-White Photo of my Mk III!

    You mean the great big photo enforcement signs "Red light camera" posted at every intersection that has a camera, plus the brightly coloured camera posts don't tell you? Like I said, I don't have a lot of sympathy for those who legitimately get tickets from these things. Radar detectors won't...

    MKiii aftermarket alarm questions

    Yeah, if you have the factory security, you're well ahead of the game, since you'll have some of the pins already. There is a trunk pin of sorts already, since there's a switch for the courtesy light, but if your hatch gets crowbarred up and it doesn't flip the catch, it won't go off. (Guess...

    $80 Black-and-White Photo of my Mk III!

    The cameras are inside of manned vehicles parked off the side of the road -- at least here. (Often in places that you'd get a stiff fine for if you got caught parked there.) Messing with the cameras isn't something that you can easily get away with. (The flashes are mounted on the front...

    $80 Black-and-White Photo of my Mk III!

    Well, they're a bit more lenient here with photo enforcement, but you can't use any DMV services until you pay the fine. So that means that next time your plates are up for renewal... Pay up or else. I haven't spoken to anyone around here who's ever received a ticket for less than 16km/h over...

    Injectors

    http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=FI&P=83 Check with an ohmmeter. 7M-GE (High impedance) will check in at ~13.8 ohms. 7M-GTE injectors (low impedance) will check in at 2.0~3.8 ohms. Low impedance needs the resistor pack, high impedance doesn't. Low impedance...

    1990 7mgte into 86.5 body

    I've done pretty much the reverse, putting an '87T engine ECU and harness into my '89 body. I didn't have to deal with the motor mounts, since mine's an early '89, and had the same mounts. Use the mounts from your '86.5 engine. Bolt in is all good. ECU and chassis harness plug in yellow to...

    zombie supra or bringing the dead back to life.

    I dunno, I like the 2 tone. I would NOT use sea foam on any engine that I own. Ever. I don't like it, but that's my personal opinion. I can't see it doing anything that good oil and fuel won't do. If it's sat long enough for the fuel pump to die, I'd be checking things under the hood...

    why walbro?

    I have a Walbro, haven't installed it. I think the reason is that it's an easy install in the A7 chassis. The Mk4 pump is even easier, and is a better pump, but is more expensive. I got the Walbro, because at the time I got it, it seemed to be the tried and true solution. Not sure if I'll ever...
