Interesting. I'll get eddie to do the timing on it. If i can find out how to do it, that is :D Possibly the timing they put out is to adhere to emissions regs or something. I know that in '88, my N/A was running on LEADED 97 octane, says in the manual to use Leaded, and Unleaded 98 as a...

Actually, was going to ask about timing - whats the timing set at for a stock 7M-GE and what can you increase it to for better performance? Whats the fuel consumption like afterwards? Horrendous, or only a small decrease?

Well, those 95/160bhp figures are indeed crank, and with that particular engine - the cylinder heads differed in the 2.8 model between the US and UK - the US had a 3 port exhaust manifold, the UK had a kind of siamesed 2-port setup but the head flowed better. Then there were different cams. I...

Hey - just getting the good vibes back :D Although worshipping minions could be advantageous.... ;)

Hmm....last machine shop i went to quoted me £600 to rebuild the head to Stage 1 spec - light skim, port & polish, new oversized valves & recut seats. There is a guy in the UK that i know through a friend that used to work on the Brabham F1 engines, he still does odd jobs every now and then -...

I had a dyno run on my N/A, i'll see if i can dig it out. Getting 250rwhp isnt impossible on an N/A, hell - BMW manage to get high performance I6's, why should Toyota engines be any different? As for being negative - well, turbocharging isnt the holy grail - and yes, while its easier to make...

Was trying to illustrate that removing the Catalytic converter and related pointless emissions crap can drastically affect the performance of the engines. :)

Er, i never said yours didnt have an I6 AlbertaBeef - just that there WAS a 2.8 V6 put in the mustangs ;) A Mustang is a Mustang to me - they all look different through the years, and have different engines - but i've never been in one, never even seen a real one up close. Nearest i've come...

Aaaah - thats handy :) I suppose i could jury rig the 'boost' to a vacuum line or something, or the airflow meter ;)

Sorry guys - i have to correct you here: And if you look on Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Cologne_V6_engine#2.8 You'll see it was also put into the Bronco and the Ranger ;) Ah thank you, thank you :naughty:

Well, TEMS sounds interesting....but i dont know if it's of much benefit to me. I think the shocks i have are already set up just right - replaced with BOGE gas dampers iirc.

Aaah - so it is possible. Well thats good. As for the benefit of it....i dunno - never experienced a Supra before mine. Although - if you have the TEMS shocks and motors - would i have to ditch the strut brace?

Whoo - my favourite price :D Cheers dude.

Yes, yet another thread from me - but its a question thats been bugging me for a while now.... Is it possible to add TEMS to a non-TEMS car? IE - can you just add the TEMS thingies, the switch and the controller, or does it all need wiring in? Kinda Curious is all ;)

May be a daft question - but already being RHD - i assume i could just do a straight swap (with the appropriate mods to the sensors) for my Manual Gauges? Also - not having TEMS or a Turbo wont matter, will it? :D

Well, i'm unemployed now, and no longer a student. So i'm living with mum temporarily until i can either a) find money b) rob a bank c) find somewhere back in the UK to live :aigo: Much prefer to have my Supra with me once more....

Already booked myself on the next Ryanair flight to go pick up my ride - i'm going to have it for myself, and damn the affordability - its half the fun of supra ownership - being skint ;) Bryan - cheers dude....whats FOC though?

DiChloromethane. The best solvent around, the active ingredient in nitromors. It will remove paint though. Then theres sodium hydroxide (barbecue cleaner)....

argh. how much for USPS delivery, if in fact there is really a missing nut. Is there no way that running on 4 nuts can 'wreck the wheels' as he so eloquently put it?

Lots of cars here gained power simply by removing restrictive catalytic converters. They werent even put on cars here until the 1990's - and optional right upto 1992 when the emissions laws changed. Non-US market engines are far less restrictive. For example - the 2.8litre V6 engine that came in...
