    Dyno my baby today :)

    Off the top of my head, 210-220. Horsepower is calculated. It requires a certain amount to cover distance and to achieve certain speed in time. Plug in your numbers. A 5 speed car will hit 100 easier than the A340 for obvious reasons. http://www.corral.net/tech/brakehp.html The DSM guys...

    Sputtering problem in high RPMs with ECT power button on??

    It isn't your transmission. With the ECT button off, you are shifting before the break up. 28 is too small, but not so small to cause a misfire. And yes, new plugs and wires can be bad.

    What should I do to my mk3 for more horsepower?

    Devin's CT26 T04E 57 is also on a very healthy shortblock with more compression. It responds faster and will make more power all through the band. 400 rwhp is pushing it on a stock long block. You can do it, you just have to do a lot with it.

    Dyno my baby today :)

    Only if it is rather healthy running car. Even stock and healthy, it might not happen with the different head castings. Look at stock numbers. Quite a few 7MGTE 5 speed cars trapped 89-90 in the quarter, and that is it. Yet others did 95 (allegedly stock). TRD back in the day did a mild build...

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

    If your stop lamp switch on the brake pedal works as you say, did you check to see there is power to that switch? You need to look in the EWD for your year. The link is for the 89, and I don't think the strategy is noticably different. And there aren't any dim brake lights. They are only bright...

    If it isn't running right by early May, I will give you a hand, pro bono.

    What should I do to my mk3 for more horsepower?

    They are discontinued by the new owner. The JT56 is similar and has similar happy customers. I have the Boss jr and like it also. I prefer the full upgrade to the CT-26. They don't respond as fast, but the exhaust housing is bigger and flows more.

    idle problem. cant figure this out.

    So it runs bad when cold, and after it warms, and clearances are taken up it runs better? Yes?

    Dyno my baby today :)

    244 is right where it should be, and inline with other similar setups. An A340E in stock form will dyno less.

    Electronic boost controllers....

    The Supra is pretty quiet, it whirs kind of loud. I am wondering if you have vacuum lines hooked up right. I don't have the HK$. I bought the Profec B SpecII.

    DWY (driving while young) should I tint?

    Yep. Our constitution, (the really good parts) is not followed. Things like equal protection of the law. Don't worry. You will have silver hair one day, and they will let you speed and pull the kid over in the Camaro. Not only is that illegal, it is immoral.

    DWY (driving while young) should I tint?

    If you are not to young to be past curfew, why do you care? You didn't get a ticket after you proved it with your license, right? What other standard should they use? Do it like those clowns called the TSA and randomly check every 8th person? I'm sure that will fool 'em.

    Cylinder wall pitting, is it bad enough?

    Sure you can. You just can't hone without them.

    Car running to lean under boost

    You have a large compressor. Much larger than the CT-26 compressor. You are lying to the ECU about the volume of air, and are not using the right injector.

    EGR System question

    How bad does it misfire? If it is water (coolant) the car should run really bad with all that water in the combustion chamber. On to smoke. 1. White- water vapor or unburned fuel 2. Black- partialy burned fuel 3. Blue- partially burned heavy HC's (oil)

    7mgte noise

    Where is the noise with the stethescope? Noise travels in solids pretty well, so you you have to check several spots.
