    ideas for better gas mileage

    Both my cars have instant fuel used readouts, I've watched the Cruise Control do the Stab to speed then back off then compared it to gently nudging the speed up, Stab is FAR better economy wise... wouldn't have picked it but there ya go!

    Engine overheats on highway with AC on

    Wasn't meant as a slam, just wanted to point out we need information if we're to help people. Lost count of the times I've asked "questions" to try and help someone and they haven't bothered their ass to answer... I wander off and never offer again.

    Engine overheats on highway with AC on

    LOL thought so, this is why I asked you to describe your procedure and why it's important that you do so in detail, NOT just say "I followed the TRSM"... If I ask a question it's usually for a good reason, it's hard enough to diagnose an issue over the net let alone to try and do it without...

    Thoughts on WTA intercooler setup...well on my setup for daily driving and racing

    W2A With an Exchanger, Pump and Fan doesn't heat soak too badly at all being an active system. As I said biggest downside is getting hardware large enough to flow over 500rwhp, the PWR Barell cooler was 8"x10" from memory so HUGE and anything larger is almost impossible to mount in the front...

    You might see as much as a 2psi drop through 2x IC's.. What is your power goal?

    Thoughts on WTA intercooler setup...well on my setup for daily driving and racing

    Just the Heat exchanger+pump+fan, intake temps were usually ambient + 1>2c cruising around and from memory only +20c under boost (I've have to dig though logs to be 100% sure) A2A if you slowed for any reason temps would go through the roof, not bad if you have a LOT of airflow through the IC, I...

    Thoughts on WTA intercooler setup...well on my setup for daily driving and racing

    Yep, the tubes in IC's are quite thin it doesn't take much to shock them into a leak, I also don't like things that "run out" i.e. if you don't have a spare c02 bottle you're limited to less boost/power, I build my cars so they can run at 100% capacity all the time if needed, I also don't do a...

    Never tried it the chance of thermal shock was too much of a risk for me.

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Equal to shifting the engine back 11" in the chassis so very worthwhile from a handling perspective!

    Thoughts on WTA intercooler setup...well on my setup for daily driving and racing

    Ran PWR W2A Coolers on my 7M, very good units, my current Blown car has an W2A unit as well, far superior to A2A if you do a lot of low speed boosting, only downside is weight/bulk/complexity as it needs a fan and pump to be effective.

    BHG #4 I think so ! And the new plan lay out :)

    Engine overheats on highway with AC on

    The thing is with a 7M you don't get a second chance with cooling issues, if you don't sort it you'll be looking at a 2K rebuild if you continue to drive it. :nono:

    I hate to say it but I like this exhaust that I made

    Looks restrictive with the 200 degree bend....
