I'll be making as many reservations as my check allows this weekend. :) Keith, for the dyno event, if we pre-register, is there a schedule or something, as far as the hours go? I'm not terribly picky, but would probably prefer to be sometime in the afternoon, just to give myself and the old...

You know you're a Supra owner when... you're flat broke and *still* browsing the FS section on Supramania. Heh, I used to have a bunch of DSM guys for neighbors, they were pretty cool, and yeah... we can very much relate. If your DSM (Supra) isn't broke, you are. :p

Cy, I have seen temps as high as ~120*C on my 1j, due to the fact that my fan doesn't kick on by it's own free will until around 118 or so. I've since added a manual switch and just keep an eye on it, but my issue is probably different from yours. Anyway, to answer your question about damage, I...

Thanks for the input SC and DT, really appreciate the experience with it. Still... I kinda want one myself, but even I would probably relegate it to a 3 season car, and I have driven in snow on drag radials before and lived to tell the tale... Granted that was in a MUCH heavier car (Mk3) but...

Meh... I suppose it's a moot point really. Don't like seeing people get in accidents, especially because they're too stupid to realize what they're buying. You wouldn't buy a kid a Ferarri to drive around here, and if your only concern is how cute your daughter is gonna look, buy her a VW Beetle...

Wow, cracking the throttle fixed your ISCV problem too Mr Gurley? :)

So, I found out that a relative of one of my co-workers is getting an MR-S for her 16th birthday... In Wyoming, where it snows... a lot. I'm trying to get him to get me in touch with her parents to voice my concern that their daughter likely won't see 17 if they let her have this car. Hell, even...

Everybody's mistaken about all this... the REAL Stig has gotta be Steve Mcqueen.

As the thread title states, I'm in the market for tires, and have narrowed it down to the following two for summer tires: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/tires/nitto/product/submitProductSize.do?pc=40517&typ=Passenger%2FPerformance&tmn=NT05...

I've never trusted the concept of underdrive pulleys, even on an I6 engine. ATI or stock, but if you're looking for an upgrade, ATI's the way to go. A little reading for ya: http://www.atiperformanceproducts.com/products/dampers/damper_dinan.htm...

The two water lines are for coolant to heat up your ISCV... depending on the temperature of the coolant, it affects the amount of air the ISCV lets through. The 5/8 nipple, at least on a 1j, connects to a vacuum pipe that runs behind the head toward the turbo side of things. Hope that helps a...

Did you give my original suggestion a try? I know you can bypass them with a standalone, but never looked into *how* to do that, at least not yet. ;)

Does it have to be a Supra? Andy from ARZ was running 11's all day long in his 7m powered 240z... I believe it was on a 57-trim, that car has forever warped my sense of 'fast'. As for my own setup, I really dunno how it will do at the track. I'm expecting high 12s, on street tires and minimal...

That's another thing I hadn't thought of, the wastegates. However, if only one of them is stuck open, it'll still boost to full pressure, just not as quickly. Before I replaced my y-pipe, turns out the e-clip that holds the wastegate actuator on to the front turbo was missing, fallen off...

You're not listing any info on either car other than the turbo and pressure on the Rx7. Is it still rotary powered? Anyhow, considering that he weighs ~2/3 of what your car weighs, you've got an uphill battle ahead of you. Unless you were to change out for some more aggressive gearing toward the...

That's my problem... no cones anywhere IN Wyoming, except in construction zones, and they all seem to be frowned upon being bumped into. ;)

Stock twins, stock y-pipe, 3" test pipe/catback exhaust, stock airbox, I was hitting ~9psi, upwards of 10-11 on REALLY cold mornings (think well below 0*f...). Motor has BC 264 cams and porting/polishing to match, if that matters. I believe "stock" pressure should be ~7-8psi.

Well first check the gap on your plugs. Should be .028, somewhere close to that. Then it'd be a good idea to check your coil pack wiring... I keep reading things about them needing re-wired or re-wrapped. But fuel cut on our motors doesn't happen until much higher than 12psi. :) Check those...

Describe your symptoms, setup, recent mods, etc... Mine ran fine until I installed a y-pipe upgrade, then it started hitting "boost cut" at ~13psi. Turns out it was just that I needed to gap the spark plugs better. ;)

Still think you should post up what it might look like without the spear shaped (Camaro) front bumper... do you have any already drawn up with that point in the middle smoothed out? :) Also, if I were to have another suggestion, I always thought 6 spoke wheels looked like a Nissan thing. Mk2's...
