    Driftmotion vs. HKS Fmic?

    I haven't seen any. If they are not telling lies about Spearco cores, it has to work decent. Meaning those units that claim to be a Spearco core. The Cartech unit was a Spearco core. At one time. Come to think of it, the Reg Reimer page has the HKS unit on his Celica Supra, and picked up about...

    Early Vs Late 7M Blocks

    That makes the Cressida more viable in the "maybe if I get around to it project" category. We have quite a few 89-92's in the US with 200k on the clock.

    Driftmotion vs. HKS Fmic?

    I have an (many) old tech article from Turbo magazine that did the testing.

    Horse POWER!

    Because he read incorrectly that he didn't need to change the intercooler. That comes from the old piping that leaks and expands. Newer pipes do a world of good. But a new stock intercooler is not good in comparison to the aftermarket units.

    Early Vs Late 7M Blocks

    What about the GE block? I know the original GTE came from the GE block design for the 87, it is obvious. Did the GE get the updated block ever?

    Horse POWER!

    That turbo can produce 350-400 rwhp, depending on boost run and tune.

    Need Tune up suggestions

    Since we are going to nitpick, the 7MGE on the Supra and Cressida does have a cam position sensor. It just has a secondary ignition system attached to it. Also, that is a nice looking 86.

    Need Tune up suggestions

    Can you take a picture of your cap and rotor and post it? Seafoam is a waste of money. Go into diagnostic modes and see if you have codes stored. Sputtering doesn't mean much. If any of the three parts to the combustion triangle(air/fuel raito, spark timing, compression) are out of spec, you...

    What is the battery voltage when you turn on those accesories? Do you have code 51?

    airbag- quick question need help

    If the car was hit and deployed the airbag, the sensors need to be changed. They are one time use. After the circuit is normal according to tests in the repair manual, then you can put in a new one. The battery should be disconnected during this whole process.

    Getting a new 7m for my Supra

    Aftermarket pulleys on vehciles where the harmonic balancer is built in is a really bad deal. Good for you for taking that POS off. A tear down should always be done before decisions are made, and the Supra should not be the only mode of transportation when you do a rebuild. Taking the engine...

    Driftmotion vs. HKS Fmic?

    This is one of the reasons for me to order up from Cartech over the also high quality HKS. The pictures on Bishops page of the HKS unit look really good, but the Cartech picture shows the mounts as being the same.

    Within 3 HC Points from passing air care. what to do..

    Put up a copy of the emission trace. Baloney. Even without the trace posted, do you have the original downpipe and cat in place, or did you replace the downpipe with an aftermarket unit that is a straight pipe? That can easily cause a rise, op temps or not.

    starter, alternator, or battery issue

    Don't do this, or shop in places like Autozone where they tell you to do that. Well, you can buy Penzoil Platinum and other things there if you like. The first thing you need to do is test the voltage running and stopped with a multimeter. Just for your own refrence. Then you can make sure...

    fog light rewire screwed up my dash lights??

    So you ran power for the dash to the fog light relay and grounded it? :dunno:

    87 Foglight Problem

    The switch controls the relay with low current. The mod should never blow a fuse. You get smoke from the tail light when you turn on fogs? Don't you think you should look at the tail lamp and see where the insulation is melting from the high current? To simplify, all you need to do is find a...
