    Article: GUIDE : Setting your ignition timing

    Bad idea. You are retarding engine timing refrence, including injector firing. That small amount won't do much, but is not a good idea. The ECU pulls timing when it sees detonation. By then, it could be too late. It also pulls timing under heavy load for that exact reason.

    A quick sprint from 70-110 mph.

    This is a youtube style video, hosted on youtube. My first one I made was 60-110. But it downshifts to 2nd then back up to direct real quick, and that cuts ET. So I did it again but from 70 and shut off O/D. This is still on fairly low boost for fuel cut and my stock A340E. Sorry about the lack...

    sticking brakes

    That is what I was going to say. He did everything but what makes them stick. Also, your ABS isn't working if you lock up about 5-6 mph.

    Supra engine in a civic?

    Then they have the same power potential. Unless one engine has a really lousy cylinder head. And since that Toyota engine had 7500 rpm redline or something, that isn't the case.

    Odd electrical problems

    Is your battery light coming on while this is happening? That means the battery is being discharged. Do you have high quality and acceptable gauge wire going to the back? No corrosion? Is the battery load tested lately? Charging system load tested?

    Fouling Spark plugs and missing at idle NO CODES HELP!

    What meta said. I assume he means fouling out with carbon from being excessively rich. Did you bypass the J-tube restriction when you put in that big pump?

    What turbo is that again? That is coming on hard well before 4000. I assume it is your 2JZ car.

    Has anyone Run 11.99 or better with a CT upgrade or Bolt on Turbo yet?

    3640 lbs without a driver. You know I am not doggin you. In fact, I think you have it all together. I am tired of seeing Supras that run 125 in the quarter and are in mid 12's.

    help ID this denso fuel pump

    The best pump is the JZA80 pump from Nippondenso. It bolts right in, but draws different amps and the two speed pump relay needs to be corrected for it. Or go 12V directly. That has drawbacks also.

    Supra engine in a civic?

    It would be an improvement over the V-tech. As long as the swap is under consideration, LS1 in a 3rd gen RX7.
