    Unusually High Timing reading

    You should be able to hear it at 1300 versus 650. That means you are doing something wrong. The clamp goes on the number one wire as close to the head as you can. Is it dial to zero light?

    Ignition to Starter Cable

    And it is a solenoid, not solinoid, silinoid, or any other spelling or wrong pronunciation of the word. ;)

    7M short block strength in high torque applications in question.

    I want to go back to this correct comment for a moment. They are also inline because of the huge advantage in manifold flow and layout.

    7M short block strength in high torque applications in question.

    Two turbos never respond faster than one. Sorry, that isn't true at all. Parallel is the slowest responding. Toyota wasn't sequential. That means one then the other. They did one then both on the 2JZ. They ran one for down low because it responds faster than running both at the same...

    tranny noise

    I am not sure what that is yet. When you push in the pedal, the clutch is being disengaged. When you let the pedal out, you engage the clutch. I am not sure you how you "press out" a clutch. I think you mean disengage, but then again, maybe you mean the pedal. This matters for diagnostic...

    CF Targa Top

    But CF looks really gay. It reminds me of an intentionaly unpainted Honduh.

    I want to supercharge my supra.

    They aren't even the same ones in the second set. In fact, the second set shows 2 engines.

    problem with trans

    If you put the range selector in 1, and take off, can you upshift to 2? I thought you could based on the OP. The number 2 solenoid in the valve body might not be turning on. It also might not be getting power. You have to figure that part out...

    problem with trans

    Pull codes. The control side is not working. Does it feel like it is stuck in a gear higher than first?

    I want to supercharge my supra.

    How many times do we have to look at that photoshop, instead of a real mock up? The Supra doesn't use a hot wire mass airflow sensor. It uses a vane airflow meter on the 7MGE. Where is the intake manifold?

    7M short block strength in high torque applications in question.

    Detroit Diesel is the number one selling heavy duty powerplant in the world. I think. Thanks in part to the US Army. That was the point to my comment.

    My Car Wont Sart, But If I Push It, it Starts Right Up And Drives Perfectly

    This is true. I have changed a few Corolla and Camry starters for the same reason.

    My Car Wont Sart, But If I Push It, it Starts Right Up And Drives Perfectly

    For the OP, the big wire is battery power, the small one is ignition, and should not light until said buddy turns the key to the start position.

    Real sequential, or not really sequential, like Toyota did?

    poor idle after warm restart

    That is only an example, but worth checking. Yes, but it will read colder. The thermistor is NTC.

    HKS Sport Turbo

    There is also this page with some specifics. It does make good bolt on power. http://cjsupra.kendra.com/89Supra.html

    what does a Standalone replace hardware wise?

    Mass air also accounts for humidity. Mass air over all. Unless you want to tinker with your progamming as the need arises. Some people clearly like to do that.
