    battery light / brake light

    Are any of the wires off the alternator and/or battery hot? I sounds like you have a short somewhere. With a good alternator and battery there is no reason why you won't get enough power, unless you have a short some where. And the short will explain why the battery goes dead overnite.

    Bov

    If you meter the air after the bov you should be OK. Of course that means that you're not running the stock ECU and AFM.

    What is the TEL 15A fuse for?

    This TEL fuse..... http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/be/BE_014.html The on-line TSRM doesn't have it: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/d/D_06.html But my '87 hard copy has it, but its a 7.5 A fuse and its called "CHARGE". Or at least that's the #2 fuse in Junction...

    Precision Brakes

    Wooooooo...... You've had the '88 since around 1993 and its got under 39,000 on it! You've really lightened up the car. FYI. I read in a R&T or Car and Driver mag. a couple of months ago that did a comparison on tires...... the Yokohama AD06 tires are by far the best braking tires. All...

    Wanted Pics of HKS SPORT

    I'd really like my car to be a lot quieter. I don't want to attract a lot of attention. Some places I go the local law inforcement will give you a ticket. A guy I met last year got cited in his built 240ZX turbo in the city he lives in. He had to take it to a state referee to get the SPL...

    Precision Brakes

    I wouldn't worry about the size of the caliper. In comparing brake systems, the deciding factor on how much stopping power the brake system has, assuming the friction coefficient of the pads and rotors are the same, is the size of the pistons. The more piston area you have the more force on...

    Wanted Pics of HKS SPORT

    I had a HKS 65mm on my car when it was a NA. Its real quiet in comparison to my 85mm HKS I now have. I liked it because it isn't RickyRacer. Its a little loader than stock.

    How often are you underestimated?

    If they know you have a turbo, the guys at work kind of reserve the X factor for you and don't say much stuff. Even the guys that have built muscle car V8s, 911s, Z06s..... But thats at work where you can get a lot of respect especially when they don't know what you have.

    Fiberglass resin Q's

    There is a plastic film, like flashbreaker tape but in a sheet thats used for vacuum baging. I forget what the name is, I forget who manufactures it and I can't find any in my house. There is also mold release agents thats in an aerosol can and I think some that you brush on. You have to use...

    na-t question

    I went the full NA>T and a JDM GTE motor. I did go with forged pistons, rebuilt the head and machined the head and block deck. I guess I could have just went with the JDM motor as is. My NA motor was toast after I totally blew the head gasket and 10 years of constant bhg overheating. JDM...

    fog light prob

    Why doesn't the stock fog lamps work now? If it was just disconnected at the light, just connect it up again. If it was cut the TSRM says the red wire is + and the white-black is ground (-). http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/d/D_22.html I wouldn't connect a second set of fog lamps...

    Intercooler piping and Smog

    I don't think you'll get much arguement from Californians. At least when it comes to smog and car regulations.

    Detroit Auto Show

    Oh I think the Supra's coming. The only question is in what form. With Nissan being very successful with the G35 coupe and 350Z, and a high end Skyline coming to America in 2007, Toyota has to respond with something. Anyone at Toyota will tell you that its not going to happen, but thats what...

    Intercooler piping and Smog

    karma, you could be right....... But I think the politicians want to regulate everything. So they have to regulate how your car passes smog. You could modify it to cheat, like the old air pumps did back in the 70's and 80's. They were smog equipment from the factory. Who's going to say one...

    AEM ems who has used it?

    The mapping would be very specific on your application. Different setups will require different mapping. I beleive the AEM website has some maps that users have made available in the forum section that may be a good base line. The support for the product is very good. The best thing would...
