    Constantly have air in my cooling system

    I wouldn't be suprised if the head gasket set for Toyota of North America is made by Fel-Pro. I have seen many OEM gaskets labeled for the manufacturer on one side, and Fel-Pro on the other. My Fel-Pro looks exactly like an OEM gasket. And they may have just built it that way, and are not...

    Pulls hard after 4000RPM

    It opens at 4200, depending on conditions. If you run it open, the plenum is too large to get good velocity, and you won't get the pulsed air effect. So about 4500, you are no longer starving the engine. Not that different than being on a big cam.

    Turbo exhaust on NA??

    I don't have to prove a negative, but you have to prove an idea. The stock turbo exhaust is quiet for the masses. It has a huge muffler and resonator, with bends that are not mandrel. The only gain is a placebo gain.

    Burning Oil, How?

    The dash pot is an emission control device that will help burn the fuel left from decel. There is a process in the repair manual for checking/adjusting.

    Trying to Solve Fuel cut - at wits end - this one will stump you

    Fascinating... Right. That is why I have no suggestion to retest those different. I am giving you the benifit of the doubt. So it is time to stop thinking outside the box, and think inside it. Too high of boost pressure. Your turbo hits fuel cut on its own, or the wastegate isn't letting...

    Installing a Full Flow, Thermostat Controlled Oil Cooler & Remote Filter

    I couldn't help but notice my perma cool filter mount doesn't have a wrench fitting on the 3/4-16 thread. So finger tight is all you get?

    Pulls hard after 4000RPM

    Toyota didn't actually call it acoustic controlled induction system in Jan of 1986 when the Supra was born. They just called it air intake system. Or something like that. You will find testing of the VSV system in the repair manual.

    Car Wont Start

    The AFM can give a really bad signal, but not be out of code setting range. Such as some monkey took the cover off and loosened the spring. But even if it is really loose and rich, it should still start, just with a lot of smoke. Are you sure you have injection pulses and spark?

    Orion's plans for the summer

    If you don't do this for a living, you can order really nice latex technician gloves from Snap-On online. My wife doesn't like the nasty hands either. They even sent them to me in Iraq.

    Burning Oil, How?

    Not always. Fuel can be white also. Dash pot adjusted correctly?

    The fuel pump has nothing to do with fuel cut.

    injector and SAFR questions

    See drjonez, but I don't think you should even try. It is for near stock applications.

    Trying to Solve Fuel cut - at wits end - this one will stump you

    Many of those things have nothing to do with fuel cut. It is a frequency that the airflow meter hits that triggers it. Nothing more. Well, other things effect that frequency, such as that big turbo you are running. You have a code 34 right?

    Charcoal Canister?

    Good post. Letting vapors go a $3.60/gallon = fail.

    injector and SAFR questions

    Well, if you need a stand alone management, why are you monkeying with the lowest budget tuning device there is? I am quite sure my old HKS catalog says that is for near stock applications, not yours.

    Changing oil every 3k miles. Are people wasting money?

    I did 3/3000...until I went to school and learned different. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23917 Ultimately, the best time to change it is when an oil analysis has been done. And if you don't do that, use the factory intervals.

    how to adjust a/f ratio?

    Turbo electronics and injectors? You don't want 14.7:1 at that point. What is the ratio under full load? That is where you are at that point.
