    The Official N/A Upgrade FAQ

    This looks like a nice place to expalin Toyota's air intake control system, or ACIS as it is now called. First of all, it does not ever "kick in". The default position of the valve is springloaded open, which is high rpm use. Vacuum pulling on the diapragm closes it to boost low RPM torque...

    Good choice. As for me, nothing.

    Change your avatar thread!

    Since I shouldn't point a weapon at a camera and put it in the avatar, I found something appropriate.

    Poor 7mpowered.com

    No you didn't write that. You would know if you did. No reason to play coy. No reason for me to mention SN's. Everybody can read it themselves. On top of that, talking behind somebody's back is fucking spineless. Let your nutsack drop where it belongs and come out with it. It is a chicken...

    Overheating problem...

    I missed the nasty edit, oh well. People need to stop saying the headbolts stretch, and are no good. This, like other issues, has been covered. The stretching is what gives the clamping force. They are supposed to stretch. Dean Marcum on his site mentioned seeing headbolts that could be...

    So Im going for it...MKIV Dash into the MKIII

    The new Toyota interiors, especially those new Celicas are the worst on the market. You can get any ugly or cheaper looing. And the orange needs to go. In fact, that is why I like the MA70 so much, no cheap wannabe futuristic dashes that were brought out in the 80's. Don't misunderstand me...

    Karma is a bitch, isn't it... I guess that is what happens you say that everyone here sucks and can go straight to hell.

    EGR valve ?

    Then why are you driving this car if it is such a steaming pile? Maybe it should be Dr asshat.

    So Im going for it...MKIV Dash into the MKIII

    You have to be shitting me. That is one of the biggest drawbacks of the JZA80, its style. The interior went "5.0" with cheap and lighweight plastic as way to reduce weight from our luxury GT. I guess my idea of a Supra and ricers is something different.

    Why do people add an "i" to Gracer?

    I prefer the model to using a Lincoln refrence. I am stubborn. You will never here me utter "mark 3". Because there are many hillbillies in the USA. Ya'll, fixin, you'uns(don't ask me) and others.

    Car shakes on acceleration, wtf?

    If the vibration is more in the steering wheel, it is likely the wheels. If you feel it in the seat of your pants, it is likely the driveshaft assembly, or propellor as Toyota calls it. The assembly includes the carrier bearing. For the original poster, is it the whole car, centered in the...

    Rear brake upgrade?

    Impressive doc... I also think if the car went on a diet and old worn parts were replaced with new, braking would be better. Not for track duty of course.

    supra's finally running ... two questions!

    If you have a 52 hard fault, that is where the ECU is not recieving a signal from the sensor, then the ECU has a different strategy in the name of safety. The timing is pulled, and the mixture richened.

    Car isnt starting! Help!

    You have no need for apologies. I shouldn't have over simplified. All of your replies look pretty good to me. As a non technical quick check, if the output is high, as in full fielded, 14.5v, there is a good chance your battery is FUBAR. The lead sulfate does not want to reverse itself, and...

    Still not starting...

    If your distrubutors four wires are not plugged in, the car will not start.

    No starter signal?

    12v for cranking. You can test the pump by jumping the fuel pump pin in the diagnostic connector.
