    Lex AFM/550s Post-install troubles...

    Jeff Lange pointed out to me that the electronics are the same. If you look at the part number on the unit, they are indeed identical. It couldn" hurt to let the ECU re-learn, but I"d check that you hooked back all vaccum lines, wiring harnesses etc.

    how weird is this

    I started a new job once and my boss and I got to talking about racing and whatnot. He took me by his place to show me his "project car". In the middle of his garage was a 92 turbo supra, I was astounded.

    Simple questions for a na - 7mgte swap

    1. an average engine will not come with an ECU, and many other components you will need (ie. intercooler, piping, etc) 2.no 3.mounts will be the same with the 7mgte the skys the limit on horsepower. as long as your engine is reliable you can make it very fast very quick. Upping the boost is the...

    fuel cut out

    The stock gauge only reads to 8psi so chances are your boosting alot more. Get a real gauge. You probably shouldn't be messing with a boost controller if you can't monitor how much your running. Fuel cut is doing its job in this situation, stopping you from running lean and destroying your engine.

    how much boost on stock pcv system?

    Its an old motor so the blowby probably is excessive. I"m sure the pcv is plumbed correctly, just like how everyone else does it. I"ll try larger lines to see if that helps. Even at idle I can watch vapors coming out of pcv hose, so I know its at least partially ventilating.

    how much boost on stock pcv system?

    The valve covers go to the NA pcv pipe, then a single hose into the catch can. One hose goes from the catch can into my accordian pipe. The throttle body nipple is blocked off. The catch can never gets any oil in it, so for whatever reason its not ventilating properly and decides to blow out my...

    how much boost on stock pcv system?

    Long story short my current pcv setup may be the cause of lots of oil leaks. I am currently running 15psi. If I set the pcv system back to stock will this pressurize my crankcase even more, or will it flow as intended. Thanks alot.

    Fuel Pressure Regulator

    suprasport.com has just the kit. Worked fine for me, though the lengths were a little bit longer than I would have liked.

    Oil Catch Can??

    Thats where mine and many other people locate them. I have read that this is a bad location because the vapors will be too hot to condense if left that close to the exhaust. Better to be on the opposite side of the engine, or anywhere away from the exhaust.

    Someone Please help me find these gaskets(pics inside)

    I was searching for a whole day for a similar gasket (mine was 3" ID). If its the standard flange size then you should have no problem finding one at a muffler shop. I had to go to a local industrial rubber and gasket company. A guy there gave me a sheet of some multilayer metal that I could cut...

    WHat exactly causes fuel cut?

    If I understand correctly: The AFM sends a certain voltage for all the air it sees. If this voltage gets too high, it knows from maps that it does not have enough fuel to compensate. So it initiates "fuel cut". Letting in unmetered air would obviously make the AFM output less voltage from the...

    possible clutch problem

    The same thing happened to my brothers car (not supra). We spent a weekend changing the clutch out, and he still had problems. The pedal was not adjusted correctly so the clutch wasn't contacting all the way. As mentioned, check the easy stuff first.

    Writeup on Differential Oil Change?

    Glad I wasn't the only one. I ended up having to fill it up through the driveshaft hole, took like 2 hours.

    bicddp.............LLLLOOOOUUUDDD!!!!1

    If you can run the SAFC2 leaner then the AFM will send less voltage and up fuel cut. But of course this means you need a way of dumping in more fuel (ie AFPR). I don't see how your hitting it at 12psi with the lexus and 550s. With stock fuel pressure and a better fuel pump you should already be...

    Removing MAF

    No more afm. You can use whatever intake piping you want, though you will probably need ports for isc and pcv.

    Screw adjustment in AFM?

    Lets in unmetered air. I wouldn't mess with it unless you have some way to check your A/F ratios.

    Supramania's Elite Engine bay Thread...ZERO progress pics.

    My old NA was about the nicest nonturbo I had seen. Hardly elite though.

    Stock idle rpm?

    I don't know why everyone says adjusting the idle can't be done, or isn't worth it. There's a bleed screw on the throttle body under a rubber cap. You can just back it out a little for a higher idle. I've done it with no repercussions.

    Getting Dynoed, Lexus Question

    Yeah I went down to BNR on your reccomendation. And got dynoed at Walker in Trussville. Its something I've been meaning to do forever. The car runs great now (save some leaky valve cover gaskets) so I'll start driving it now. Blake actually told me to go try and race some Z06s :D
