    any upgraded or mapped ECU's for an 89 turbo automatic

    This is the first time I have seen your thread. Run it to redline manually a few times. And it will upshift at 4800 withut the ECT button applied. It has to be pushed in. That gets you 5500-5800 shift. The shift isn't instantaneous, and that is why it is listed as speed range in the book.

    Help Lsd question

    Are you confusing spinning tires and a slipping clutch? A bad LSD will not cause a rise in engine speed without a rise in tire speed.

    7M-GE Inquiry

    Flywheel only. Have you ever seen a stock exhaust? It isn't that unreasonable, to pick up good power. I haven't seen anybody ever even use a good one on the GE. Only self jobs or something from the local exhaust shop. Or something that just doesn't do anything for the car, like the Super...

    intake manifolds

    Actually, it doesn't have the same peak power, nor as much area under the curve. It peaked at 190 in 1989 when the Cressida debuted with the 7MGE. It changed to 195 with refiguring. And if you ever drove one, it has this great "kick at 3500" or so. Because the manifold has a slow velocity. A...

    7M-GE Inquiry

    It depends on how good of work is done. How much compression, cam timing, cylinder head flow, engine management, etc. The car really does have 200 flywheel horesepower stock, so 250 is very reasonable. 300 is possible without breaking the bank.

    intake manifolds

    You deserve to be informed, you made a fool of yourself. Since it seems you have done some reading on the 5.0, and the short runner manifold, and its upper end power, versus long runners and the high torque, why is having both a problem to you? Good luck finding a stock 7MGE in proper...

    Major drivetrain vibration/shudder at 85mph

    Why do you think they should have gone with one? Could be. Out of phase can feel like a dead miss. But my thought is also on the driveshaft/u-joints. Not wheel bearings. Based on vibration in the seats. That is what they do.

    intake manifolds

    Boy, Toyota just couldn't do anything right with the MA70. It isn't your fault. Where did you read that? High end 7MGE. I like the idea.

    7M-GTE Boost Question

    Not really. Just factually incorrect troll haters. For example, the NSX is one of the best machines ever made.

    Pictures and videos of our supra meet

    That is one of my all time favorite combinations. Looking good also. :thumbup: They all need to look this way. Unless they are black, even better if black.

    Voltage drop at idle

    Do you know how to do voltage drop testing? Put the leads on the same wire. If you haven't had issues with needing a jump start, then you have to have a lot of drop through that wiring. Strange, since you already replaced it.

    Voltage drop at idle

    Is that on the guage, or open circuit voltage with a multimeter?

    Speed vs. RPM Calculator

    That is some nice work you did. What are you using for an A341E in your ratios? I am going to have to look it up. That trans was used in the US behind the original LS400, and has a tall 2.5:1 ratio first gear. I dont' think the Supra ever used that.

    Hey everyone, auto tranny help please

    Unplug the trans and see if it still does that.

    7MGE head on 7MGTE block

    More lift for the GTE cam. There was a change in the intake cam on the GE engine. The Cressida had it first, then the Supra. So you may not even get the same results as somebody else, even buying new.

    Cressida/ Auto Supra Guys... A340 Question!

    You need the range selector. I don't remember anymore if that is what Toyota calls it. I should have noticed the selector part of your post. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291220/catalog.aspx?F=8410&P=2 Based on that picture, it makes me think the range selector is not available...
