I don't see how it is flawed logic to trust those that designed the car regarding where to set a redline. Anybody that remembers a mechanical fuel governor has seen a different approach. It limits the total fuel. This doesnt cut the fuel, it is just all the fuel your engine will recieve. That...

Well the difference specifically isnt anything special. OBDII isnt a requirement to run a certain way, but closer monitoring and cleaner emissions. The EPA doesnt care how you get there. The open loop critieria with the older cars is cold operation or WOT throttle.

And demand is the biggest variable in figuring supply. is the farmers in Ohio where you live and other places that think we should buy their product. The alcohol needs more heat and pressure to light. If you can use regular gasoline it is probably better for you to not switch.

You mean besides the redline the engineers built into the car that spent thousands of man hours devoloping the car?

Car and Driver said they couldnt get it out of the 220's. Not that it is slow or anything.

That was a really good technical write up. :bigthumb:

The compressor side of the turbocharger "compresses" air differently than a piston air compressor. The shape of the blades stack air inside the housing as the wheel whips around.

Before you going buying an ECU for a fuse that blows, make sure you understand why a fuse blows. The current in the circuit is higher than the fuse rating. This is to protect the device in the circuit, which draws less than the fuse. If you blow the IGN fuse, you have a direct ground...

There are two kinds. The good ones like Toyota uses, and the junk that you need special pliars to pinch. A pair of long needle nose get the job done with ease on the stock clamps. Those are the ones I prefer.

Actually, for many things, it is much easier. You can pull a 7M, of either variety, and have it on the stand, in under 2 hours. Try that with a 1MZFE. Or any front driver. It also depends on where you live. Growing up in Ohio, there werent many Toytotas, let alone a Supra. But living in...

I dont agree becuase that isnt true. The pricing is standardized everywhere. At Toyota there is a book called T-TIPS. That is Toyota Total information pricing system. And the franchise is expected to follow it. But I can tell you the mom and pop dealer whose main business is GM might not follow...

IGN fuse under the driver dash kick panel. Dont trust a visual check on fuses.

It idles ok when cold? And the problem starts when warm/hot/operating temps? Do you have any extra smoke that is black or dark?

Oh yeah, the turbocharger compresses the air. Hence, the compressor part of the unit. And the Toyota unit being much smaller is much higher reistance to flow, and the pressure (resitance to flow) goes up significantly trying to push more air than it is capable of. And your big ass T66 doesnt...

PSI is pounds per square inch, which is a measurement of resistance in an enclosed system. Pressure is resistance to flow, not flow. Although in common lay terms it is often used to describe push. The T66 puts out much more air at 9 psi becuase it is a much bigger pump. Boyles law states that...

STA=starter, ie; neutral start switch in the automatic transmission circuit.

Take a good look at the coils and wires the next time you are watching the NHRA top fuel race. See what is MSD, and see what is everything else.

In general, that is not a valid test. You should check for voltage drop. Take a wire made of many strands. If all are broke but one, you will have continuity on the ohm meter, and beep if it has sound mode. But you will have massive voltage drop, and the circuit will not work correctly, whatever...
