    diesel turbo

    On top of the different cylinder pressure, the Power Stroke was 7.3 litres of displacement. That is why that big turbo spools fast. If it worked so well, it wouldn't be such an issue to get it.(a 7M turbo that spools superfast and delivers T78 power) That exhaust area to radius effects spool...

    7mgte ecu help

    You backprobe the connector and check the input voltages and frequencies. When you find one that is wrong, you will know it is not the ECU. In other words, the ECU is rarely the problem.

    Gas saving idea from the other forum

    Always remember, 14.7:1 has nothing to do with how the engine is operating, but keeping the monolithic cat in its primary operating range.

    welding spider gears pro's con's

    If you weld those gears, the diff will not slip. In order to turn, the wheels need to rotate at different speeds. The outer tire has a bigger arc than the inner tire. So if you weld them, they can not go different speeds, and your wheels will "hop" on turns. It is also dangerous if you are going...

    diesel turbo

    It won't work because a diesel engine has 18:1 or as high as 23:1 compression ratio, creating significanly higher cylinder pressure than a 7M. The engines are completely different in design, and the turbo is made for the engine. There is nothing that says he can't expirement though.

    Gas saving idea from the other forum

    Auto manufacturers have "extreme lean cruise" as it is sometimes called. It takes much more fuel to accelerate than just hold speed. My 5.0 Mustang with the T5 and 3.08 rear would get 18-20 on a tank, but 27 on a highway trip with that programming. It is how the LS1 Corvettes are pushing 30 on...

    abs fault

    If your computer labeled "skid control" is for 4 channel, it will kick the code until it recieves is sinewave from the non existent speed sensor.

    Why not higher compression ratio??

    In a car that probably weighs 8 tons.

    abs fault

    21, 22, 23 are listed as front speed sensors, left and right, and the rear. So 24 might be left or right for 4 wheel.

    How are these people running our country?

    Eh, maybe. I know the internet hides it often. As I have laid it on thick, and people thought I was serious too.

    your thoughs on the M16

    I have never jammed, misfired, double feed, or any other problem. Like cars, the operator is the problem. Retail is high from market prices. The actual price is much much lower.

    Sawblades... simple Q

    Do people really think automanufacturers just stamp left and right into metal like that becuase they had extra money to spend or something? The poster who mentioned the airflow is right. So besides being a great looking rim, sawblades are also functional.

    Could a Powered Intercooler Work? In theory at least?

    Yep. That is why the Ford system was why it worked the way it did. It had a launch mode button, where it would operate to bring down the temps, but you didn't drive it that way. It was supposed to be something like 30 seconds to before your launch, you would push the button. But the truck...

    Engine "Lopes"

    Engine timing is probably off. Which will change ignition timing. Even with the CPS in the right spot.

    Clutch Chatter

    If it does have the spring, the disc is slightly warped. That can happen easily during installation if you are not lined up perfect before trying to stab the trans.

    Those are engine codes, no soup for you. http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/br/BR_51.html 24 isn't listed in North America due to 3 channel ABS.

    Where did the Mk 2 & 3 get their styling?

    That fireturd does not look like a Supra. A Ford truck looks like a Supra too. Long nose, two big doors, inline engine, just no pop up lights. The NSX has similar lines, so does that BMW. And the 328 GTS does as well. In my opinion.
