    My LED tail light design so far. Opinions?

    definately fill the center section. Ive always hated the fact that the center is just a passive reflector and not a light housing. My only question for you is how do you plan to take off the reflective paint on the inside of the center section?

    tuning help, rich idle, stumble, rich decel.

    yeah, second TPS and it wasnt affected. I managed to make some headway today. I turned the pressure down and tried to get as close to zero baseline on the SAFC, then up just enough to make it cycle between very slight rich/very slight lean. Im at 40lbs at idle with the vac/boost line on and 50...

    Good universal 3'' muffler?

    Well certainly everyone has a different opinion of what sounds god but a description of how a muffler sounds should be similiar in similiar installations. So Im confused when you describe the sound of a flowmaster40. Anyone who has heard my car will agree that it in NO WAY sounds "tinny" or...

    Good universal 3'' muffler?

    If you like a nice deep low tone the Flowmaster 40 is about and low as it goes. No threat of sounding ricey in the least. It does NOT however look very "importy" (I know I just made that word up). As long as you are above 2k RPM it doesnt drone. I would definately recommend AGAINST a single in...

    tuning help, rich idle, stumble, rich decel.

    Ya know I really dont remember if that was done or not. I'll look into it. It would be nice if there was someone here in Houston that was good with this stuff that could spend a little time teaching me. Like I said though Im planning on getting it professionally dyno tuned when I hit 1k miles...

    Sold my Supra today!

    I could probably be talked into selling you Lucy when I get back up there. Im torn about selling or keeping but for the right price I would part with her. Since her complete rebuild she is a whole new car. Almost in need of a name change, lol. Either way, hopefully we can meet up in the NW...

    tuning help, rich idle, stumble, rich decel.

    Ok, first questions answered, yes I have a walbro and the J-tube is bypassed (-6 AN from fpr to return via barb fitting). Also to address your other concerns I just replaced the AFM electronics because of a code, and while I was at it put in a new TPS and adjusted it to spec. Also, because of...

    tuning help, rich idle, stumble, rich decel.

    I dont have any way to datalog. I figured at around 38 lbs I was close to stock but also have enough extra fuel to stay out of fuel cut at 15lbs. Also one other point I want to make here is I do in fact intend to have the car professionally tuned on a dyno. Im just looking for some basic...

    tuning help, rich idle, stumble, rich decel.

    Ive been trying to iron out a few wrinkles in the tuning of my 7M. If you dont already know Im working with a Lex AFM, 550cc injectors, AFPR, T-58 turbo, AEM wideband, and otherwise stock sensors. My only means of tuning is the AFPR and the SAFCII. My fuel pressure is at 38lbs with boost...

    Lucy - Im home!

    YIKES! I guess I shouldnt complain then huh? but I would expect Texas gas prices to be lower. Its about the only good thing I can think of about living here.

    Lucy - Im home!

    yes, I will go so far as to agree I deserve a little enjoyment from it. I will say I am still kinda waiting for the other shoe to drop, but so far so good. Im really dying to get it on a dyno and see where I stand HP wise, but I will say its been a long damn time since I felt this much power (I...

    Lucy - Im home!

    OK, so you guys were right, I really dont want to sell the car anymore. Steven and I went out to tune the boost controller. I could not seem to get over 6lbs. Turned out I had a coupler that wasnt tight. So I fixed that and tried again, and... DAAAAAAAAYUM...15lbs is scary. This turbo really...

    Lucy - Im home!

    Well my pictures didnt come out very good. Here are a couple that are at least viewable. And I plan to get Lucy Professionally tuned, but I need enough miles on her first.

    Lucy - Im home!

    Well I guess Im just talking to myself here but thats ok. Heres where Im at right now. Ive got about 350 miles on it. I had a nasty off idle stumble but Ive been able to tune most of that out and its little more than an annoyance now. I finally got a chance to do a few from a dig runs on it and...

    Thinking Of Abandoning mkIII 2j project!

    I'll add my .02 since I was recently in your position. Granted I wasnt doing a bad ass swap like you but I was nevertheless elbows and assholes deep in a rebuild of my DD. I was so close to completion and yet so tired of of it all and wanted transportation SO BAD. I was riding a bicycle for...
