And that was in aid of what exactly? How exactly do i have 'NFI'?

Timing from stock 10* to 12 to 14* if you run good 98 octane (RON), maybe?

Will do that tomorrow methinks. Although, i'm not bothered if its taller than the engine bay, like i said, can always cut out a section and make it raised, kinda like a power bulge :)

Wish her well from the UK too :)

I have the purchase reciept for my Supra in the folder with all the manuals, MOT's, Tax discs and bills - in the UK, in 1988, my 7M-GE Black Supra with the LSD cost exactly £27,950 - which at the time would have been the same as $46,118 using exchange rate average for 1988 :) On a cost basis...

Lol @ Disco Potato :P As for the name whipple....well i'll keep thinking of Charlie and the Chocolate factory (see if you get the reference). I relised that the whipple i had in mind is bigger than i need - so the smallest one would do. Also looking at the one from the Mazda Millennia S as...

I had rusted screws on my wiper arms, tried taking those off even after soaking them in WD40 for a night, and the heads sheared straight off. Got one wiper blade held on with Araldite and of course, Toyota dont sell the wiper arms anymore :'( Be very, very careful removing them, try using...

Reminds me of when my mums volkswagen needed a new Pierburg 2E2 carburettor with Auto-choke. Went into the dealers part desk and asked for one, and they said they had two in stock. 'I've never sold one before though' said the bloke at the counter. Of course he hasnt, they were charging £950 for...

Well, it doesnt get as humid or hot as Florida, but i assure you, it *does* get toasty here in the summer! The whipple charger was indeed the one i was considering. I've dealt with custom inlet manifolds before, on the Granada - but i wasnt the one that built it, just the one that provided the...

Where didya get the engine from? Engine Warehouse or eBay?

IJ - no worries - i just assumed people knew, after my thread in the for sale section. Appreciate the input and forewarnings about a project such as this, and i know it'd probably be easier to just do an N/A-T or dump in a 7M-GTE/1JZGTE etc, but thats not my style ;) I've spent a long time...

Hmm - from the look, i think i prefer the standard supra seats - they're still comfortable and they have the advantage of the electric pack (was that standard?)

I suppose the only consolation with mine, was that RS Turbo's, when pushed too far, had a tendency to do things like that - the CVH wasnt the best engine Ford ever made. Still, 2000rpm is a little low for self destruction :3d_frown:

You may or may not recall that i'm also looking after my terminally ill mother, meaning that i'm living in her house. Again, everything for me is on hold until September because of this. I have a job lined up, but I don't start until September, which means i'm living off the bank account &...

Oh i plan on it - and if i succeed, i will be a millionaire for charging you guys £££ for kits :D Still, need to find a flat, a job and a flatmate first - next upgrade for the Supra, new spark plugs and timing set to 12deg :D

I've had a rod bolt exit the block at 5500rpm in an RS Turbo before, not an experience i want to repeat. It wasn't the turbo's fault directly, but the increase in boost from it did. Had a turbo seize up on a Cosworth 4x4 before, but that could have been due to poor maintainance by the previous...

Aaah you're right, it wasnt the elise, it was the Exige i was thinking of. They showed it on Top Gear not long ago, hence why i got confused :)

I've just had bad experience with Turbo'ed engine in the past. Either headgasket failure, turbo's seize, throwing rods or bolts - Supercharging would be pretty much all bolt on, rather than having to do an engine transplant and all the associated wiring that goes with it. IJ - wasnt implying...

Cant get the speedhut ones, they have the wrong layout for warning lamps :( And no, not on mkiiisupra.net either - i have to track 3 forums as it is - aaaugh!!! :aigo:

Just an update - showing you the idea i just mooted above, and the 1G-GZEU for comparison. 1G-GZEU: My Crackpot Idea: Any merit in that?
