    How to measure fuel pressure??

    All this because Toyota didn't see the need to have a Schrader valve.

    Move north to Flagstaff and watch how good it works.

    Awd car to swap a 7m in?

    If you are driving all the wheels, and there are four of them, that makes what? I think there is about 7 ways to achieve 4 wheel drive.

    Injector Current Draw

    I'm not the EE, one of them would tell you about how much to figure when they are not supposed to fire at once. Come to think of it, they do at start up. I just now thought of that. At cranking they are not firing in their order. I think they all pulse a few times, and that will have to be...

    88 Supra Rebuild (Trans swap 1/18/11)

    Any thought to the JT56 or something similar? On paper it looks like it is the same as my Boss Jr. My hotside is .58 A/R and the housing itself is bigger. I remember him saying his was similar. I think you would be deep in the 11's.

    The Luxocruiser 3650 lb sled thread

    I did the ignitor grounding mod. My car runs fine. In fact, it runs and idles really good. But I was reading and decided to look. There was surface rust on the bottom of the case face where it mounts to the upper. Not much, just light surface rust. So I cleaned it and added the ground to the...

    How much does your supra weigh?

    If the diff is out of the car, count the teeth. If the rear axle housing is off the car, spin the input flange. If the axle mounts go together, it is a LSD. If they go opposite, it is an open differential. They go the opposite way from the free spin and the side gears walking around each other...

    Differential MPH

    Some engineer in the automotive world discovered it. It converts the different scales. It is the formula used by the online "calculators".

    Awd car to swap a 7m in?

    Somewhere on the net I saw a picture of an AE86 with the 7M. I guess that makes it an ME86? I wouldn't do it. Go for the Celica Supra with a 7M swap.

    Never again hack your harness to fit injectors!

    Handy, yes in terms of time saving. Since I won't be installing a ND injector in the future, I spliced rather than build a sub harness.

    Afterfire/muffler explosions bad mpg

    Crimped connection, and then filled with solder. Solder alone is not a repair. Sort of like twisting wires together. Sure it changes things, but that isn't repaired. If you use a generic butt connector, get the kind that shrinks with heat.

    car wont start

    These are unrelated events, unless you have a really bad connection, and putting it on resecures it. I would put that before a starter problem since it did crank over.

    HKS Turbo kits WTF

    A twin set up that is parallel increases lag. But if you have two large turbos and nitrous you could hit a grand. I don't know why else they would be used. Aside from the mention of "rare".

    car wont start

    Every time you disconnect the battery, you trip the antitheft which inhibts the cranking circuit. Stop it.

    HKS Turbo kits WTF

    Why reduce spool and increase lag? Because it is rare? Planning on two monsters with nitrous and 4 digit hp? That would probably get you there. That Treadstone manifold in the other thread used to be about $600 years back. Then it was reduced. Now it see it inline with all the ads on ebay...
