Is there something wrong with just an emissions thing?

Talk about the perfect picture at the perfect time.

Interesting. The mighty 1JZ-GTE is also listed at 60mm.

The combustion triangle in an automotive application is compression, air/fuel ratio, and ignition timing. But like the natural world, if you have enough heat, you will ignite without an ignition source. Provided the A/F ratio will allow it. In the late 80's, a Honda race car, I couldn't tell...

It is cheaper to use low compression than a forged piston. A 12:1 engine with, just for the sake of argument, 8 lbs from a T04B, will out power the same engine with compression at 8.5:1, all through the range, without question. You need better fuel, and more of it; i.e. a good tune.

I had to 87's and two 88's. My 91 is nothing special. No harder or easier.

Actually, turbos love high compression. They respond much faster.

You belong at a dump site like SF.

You can forgo the oil squirters if you run a forged piston. It will tolerate the heat and mild detonation much better if it is forged. I would use the squirters though myself.

Does the car run? Or the A/C button was on. Or the accelerator was depressed,even just a little when the test was started. Does the car run? First thing is to pull the EFI fuse for more than 30 seconds. No. As he said above, you need it. All the SAFC does is alter the air flow...

It sure wasn't.

Ever hear of ebay? Somebody will give you $50 for your part. Somebody else will give you $100 for the part. To whom do you sell it? http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=FA&P=29

Who would switch from a coil over to a conventional damper? So it is understood that nobody is going to the alternative. Hey I have an idea. I will replace my 7M with an inline 6. How does that sound?

Why be an ass to him? I wasn't. I was just straight.

You didn't need to spend the money you did to get the power you did. Seems like you have done a lot of different things over the years, when it wasn't broke to begin with. Sort of trial and error for your own benifit, as well as the community. He doesn't need a 9" rear. Or propane, or...

No, not a big deal. Just a waste of your time and money. JDM in username=rice boy. Every one of you. Actually, lots of monkeys, especially here, say that it is easy. But of course somebody saying it doesn't make it so. Good luck with the project. My advice, LSI F-body.

How about a top fuel dragster? Or something high winding like that B series that Honda boy loves? You should have qualified that statement, O.W.

Stock is a coilover. We seem to be getting past the strut part, but people still want to call it a strut. A strut replaces the upper ball joint. It is load bearing. Stock is a coil over shock. :thumbup:

It depends on what you consider minor or stock even. Take LS1.com. There some people's idea of stock is a ported MAF, Lid, full exhaust, tune, and gears. Not stock would be to remove valve covers at some point to do work. 500 rwhp is a big gain. 125 hp gain with minor mods is very easy with...

Figgie already started on it. Besides the stroker, which will help a ton, you need more compression, and cylinder head work. If you look at other naturally aspirated engines doing as you are hoping, like the M3, the 330 bhp is high up in engine speed. Variable cam timing makes it drivable. But...
