    Lexus afm and 550s

    It isn't rich from the Lexus housing and 550s.

    fastest 7mge 0-60s and top speeds

    Strong being emphasised, yeah, I find that hard to believe. Ok. :bsflag:

    Drivetrain slack

    Aluminum in place of rubber bushings will transmit more sound/vibration. You can look at the u-joints, but they usually vibrate like a bad tire and the frequencey increases with road speed. Get the car in the air and look for the freeplay. Along with trans mounts that look like they are shifted.

    No spark with direct wire fuel pump

    Yes, by halting injection when there is no spark signal.

    fastest 7mge 0-60s and top speeds

    Toyota was building speedo's optimistic, and they did it on purpose. They probably still do. Power peak at 128-130 is already past, and sinking fast.

    fastest 7mge 0-60s and top speeds

    Exactly right. If the car had the power to pull over 130, you run out of gear. A very healthy car went 131 on a closed track back in the day.

    Transmission Problems Automatic (Fixed)

    I wonder if the failed switch was also failed/hacked wiring and he just didn't mention it. Like the pinion and motor were being engaged while running.

    fastest 7mge 0-60s and top speeds

    You will have a very hard time getting the car over 125-130 mph. And you shouldn't do it on the highway anyway.

    7M Coolant flow

    I was thinking something similar. What, your discharge temp is 39.8, but last week it was 39.2?

    Looking for advice after failing CA smog check

    It is carbon monoxide that is used to reduce NOx, but that isn't where he needs to check.

    rpm gauge

    I guess this thread has run its course.

    oil vs water/oil turbo?

    The coolant acts as a heat sink on shutdown, reducing coking that ruins turbochargers.

    timing wont set at 10btdc?

    If it says 25 and you are in diagnostic mode, the CPS or engine timing is off. And 0 on the factory gauge means the vacuum line is unhooked.
  14. Nick M

    is this how the cps is supposed to sit on head?

    Unless the o-ring is rated for the temperature.

    Hood liner or no hood liner

    260 is too much? How much is the paint job going to cost you?

    NEED HELP wiring 550 lexus injecters to a 88 supra turbo

    I didn't get what I know from the internet. Most car people I know are not nearly as incompetent as MA70 owners I come across on the internet. Well, no. I bought my first Supra in 1994 when I couldn't really afford it.

    Installed Greddy EBC

    The other setting control how quickly it comes on. If you set it to come on as fast as you can, it will go over your setting. If you keep it wound up to spool as fast as it can, dial back duty cycle until it stays at 18.

    rpm gauge

    Well....does the engine speed continue to increase and the gauge stops, or does the engine speed stop increasing. My first question was really a leading question.

    1987 7mgte ECU. Symptoms of a bad ECU :evil5:

    24 and 31....go look at the EWD. That should narrow it down for you. If the blow off valve leaks, then you do have a boost leak. If you have 51, the TPS is not adjusted correctly. If you know how to loosen the screws, you can adjust it in the car while the key is on and the engine is...
