    9.5 psi stock ct26 dyno sheet

    9.5 psi measured at the manifold is about 13 from the CT-26. (edit: the intercooler drops pressure) A stock 7MGTE Supra Turbo will vary some from engine to engine, and dyno to dyno with weather. Stock is as low as 170 rwhp, and as high as 190 hp. I read somebody's did just over 200 stock. It...

    Am2 fuse blowing and car wont stay running

    You can't narrow what down? That the wire is grounded, or where it is grounded? AM2 feeds ignition and EFI. You could look for the wire that is melted. You could always check for ground at some of the components if you don't see the melted wire...

    Supramania's Main Engine bay Thread!

    I think I can sort of do a one-up. This is my car at cold idle. After 3 weeks of 95+ heat, it has been drizzling and it is only 72 out right now. Runs perfect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4BULzzaeJ8

    Quick AFM Question

    It should run. It means you need to pull DTC's. You are feeding the ECU too much false information, and it can't keep the car running without its primary input.

    What are your favorite things about MKIII Supras?

    Well, from a high performance standpoint, the car is over weight.

    a340 not acting right

    W58 is the trans...FYI. It will fit perfect, with the correct driveshaft, flywheel, and pressureplate. ---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ---------- It has to be the control system. If by manual shifting you mean unplugging the trans and it drives...

    7mGTE GT4088 swap, runs, but weird issue? TONs of info, and I've searched.

    The damper isn't on zero when the cams are lined up. More like 2 or 3 degrees. I don't do the belt with the damper on the cogged crank pulley for the belt. I have some pictures, give me a moment. Now, I haven't seen the damper timing marks line up to zero on a timing belt on a Supra. Newer...

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    A/C idle speed also depends on shift solenoids. I can't find my table at this time, but I think it is in one of the older books, like 850. For example, A/C switch is on and you ar in park or neutral, and target speed is 900. But in drive it is 750, or something like that. The chart just shows...

    7mGTE GT4088 swap, runs, but weird issue? TONs of info, and I've searched.

    0 on the crank pulley is not straight up on the cams, assuming you mean the damper, as the pulley isn't marked. Read the TSRM. Their procedure isn't needed, and it isn't that hard. You have to have the damper off, and have the crank at 0. Of course, the crank timing pulley has no mark, so you...

    the engine won't start

    A piggyback with the Lex mod is to fine tune. The car will run just like stock with the Lex meter and 550's, unless there are other problems.

    What are your favorite things about MKIII Supras?

    1. The svelte look. It looks good, even sitting still. Sophisiticated with speed. Or muscle meets manners. 2. The feel. Smooth as silk. 3. The sound. Quiet like an LS400 or Cressida. I wouldn't want it any other way. 4. The amazing amount of power these Supras can handle. Streetable power.

    available bolt on turbo options.

    Why not? Safeway is full of groceries that are not Safeway branded groceries. Off topic, I know.

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    I know out west they don't get 93 and 94 octane. With the higher octane and too much advance, it can start to light while on the compression stroke. Any engine can do this if over advanced. And I don't know just how much is too much. My Lex meter and 550's went on the same time as the DrJonez...

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    I was thinking about this also. Too much advance can hurt performance. And this is never talked about when the Lex upgrade is talked about.

    lexus afm on a NA?

    The engine is the air pump. An additional air pump would be some sort of supercharger, such as the turbocharger type that Toyota has adopted.

    All your cars just look wierd with the steering wheel on the wrong side. But not as wierd as the steering wheel on the right when driven on the right.

    Yes, you can spin the wheel and get a signal to answer your question.

    Low Idle in summer

    Heat is pretty tough on electronics. And electrical components. You can try a nonconformist test if you want. It requires your buddy. When you pull in hot, keep the engine speed up and pop the hood. Have someobody tap on the solenoid lightly when the speed is down to see if it is sticking. This...

    Replaced hub, now I don't have ABS

    Your DVOM(digital volt-ohm meter, multimeter to most of us) set to Hz will tell you if the sensor works. Of course if you don't have the ABS hub, I suspect you don't have the reluctor ring. Reluctance is resistance to a magnet, which causes the pulses. JJ, Figgie or somebody else can go into...
