    Toyota Supra MK3 Buttons and TEMS?

    Porsche and GM didn't feel the need to have a soft setting damper on their performance cars.

    Valve cover bolt kit

    Unneeded. Stock works just fine when the gaskets are just fine. All 3 of them.

    happy with my dyno results!

    Peak hp at 4000 rpm? You sure there isn't a Ford 351M under your hood?

    Toyota Supra MK3 Buttons and TEMS?

    Yep, bars do change with fuel consumption as JJ pointed out. Throttle angle. It isn't the fastest acting active system, but I like it.

    CA Emissions numbers

    It seems like the code for EGR is actually by thermistor, and not voltage drop on the actuator to open and close. Ford did that back then. The potentiometer voltage would show the valve open or closed. $160 is cheap for a catalytic converter. They have precious metals in them. Typical Toyota...

    You should go with a full T4 upgrade. The exhaust housing supports much more upstairs, along with the manifold. 500 bhp set up correctly.

    The only thing not correct would be the numbers put into the formula. Why would think the car should make more power? 300 hp is quite a bit on a small engine with a street head.

    CA Emissions numbers

    On a side note, I have seen failures on the IM240 by cars that installed aftermarket cats. Typically modified factory hotrods. On the 4 gas sensor, all seemed relatively normal, yet all the numbers were a little high, especially HC. As for the OP, you have been shown where to look....

    With your set up, I think you could do even better if you moved over to a giant wheel like that.

    It is, however forget about the 14 psi. He has a large compressor 67mm according to his post.

    7M-GE ACIS Reference Thread

    When the valve is closed, air pulses from the valvetrain bounce back up the intake. They hit the closed valve and come back down providing a mild supercharging effect. And yes, the valve being closed provides a longer runner. That makes for more volume only at low speed due to the higher...

    If you didn't have 34, you didn't have fuel cut. A large gash between the airflow meter and the turbo is leaking metered air to atmosphere. The same as have a blow off valve in place of by pass valve, when the BOV is defective. It seems like you have multiple problems.

    Dyno my baby today :)

    Mr Watt timed how long a horse took to walk an arm in a circle (he wasn't the only one). Force in a rotating motion is torque. How fast work is being done is horsepower. Literally. And the two are very intertwined. That calculator is applying those known work and force rates to what you did in...

    Dyno my baby today :)

    You sure it is 3600 lbs with a driver and fuel? Base weight with a hard top and R154 is about 3550. It took 292 hp to push 3600 lbs up to 100 in a 1/4 mile. That is the energy spent, and isn't effected by gears. The ET, which was horsepower used can be changed by the gears. But speed doesn't...

    I dont know what to try next ? pre 89 tail light failure

    He is better off doing voltage drop across the switch than an ohm test. And since he said he tested it, I figured he at least checked with a test light that it closes. (my bad)

    1990 Online MKIII TSRM

    I think I have the original review from Car and Driver, where the legend was born. 60 in under 5, and trapped at 109.

    I dont know what to try next ? pre 89 tail light failure

    Intensity is the right word, because the voltage is constant. It is just extra filaments.
