    Beware of Rocket Scientist

    I read a novel/comic type book of his. It was a small story of the evolution of his comcs. He said he recieved tons of hate mail. I always liked how he used animals to make people look stupid. But lefties(and he is one of them, go figure) said he was cruel to animals. Among other things.

    Help with flat spot and more.......

    One other thing, your A340E is a 4 speed. The lockup converter eliminates multiplication and slippage, it doesnt change the ratio. You arent in 1st gear at 30 mph at idle. Pull trans DTC's. Use the jumper wire just like with engine codes. You are in direct or O/D for some reason. The temp...

    A positive-boost turbo system???

    Becuase the delivery is more like a Diesel. And "considerably" could have been somebody's idea of 1.5%.

    My car is broke?

    Change the thermostat first. Then worry about the waterpump.

    Help with flat spot and more.......

    Change the plugs and wires. Or at least the wires, and pull the plugs and blow air in the hole and dry the plugs. That isnt related to going 30mph at idle. Do you have a high idle in nuetral?

    A positive-boost turbo system???

    When Toyota was working on direct injection, I remeber the report of the increase in power and mileage. The 25% efficency of a 4 stroke gas engine went up considerably.

    Ma70...ma71?

    I can only tell you of the US market. There is no MA71 body. 1 in the 71 is the series of car denoting turbo model. The VIN is the only place you will find it.

    Knock Sensor - ECU question

    Only if you think not understanding what happened comes before text books from Mr Toyoda's company called Engine Control Systems, or other similar ones like JJ has. Our car runs a closed loop timing control. Closed loop isnt a temperature function, but temperature is one thing that affects...

    Are my cams F'd? Can they be used? *pics*

    That is what I was also refering to. Seems like the Dr had a link on his sight showing the two types on an Australian site. Sound familiar? It didnt flow anymore on the bench. Or an incidental amount.

    im so tired of attitudes here!!!!!!!

    Nice post my main man. This is an internet wide problem. The crybabies I mean. It is like nobody ever told them something they said was wrong, or or worse yet, a bad idea. Read this one. This has been going on since Tozer started that forum under the Supra Store...

    Heavy car plus small displacement does not equal quick ET.

    VVT-i and the 7m-GE

    The 4A is inline, and that 1G is that tiny inline. Putting two cam gears on it for more accurate control is easy. I dont know that Toyota has GE in V configuration in production or coming down the pipe. It will be interesting to see what the hopefully true rumor of a 500 hp V8 Supra will be...

    Are my cams F'd? Can they be used? *pics*

    RM;You know, everybody has a price. Especially cam companies. Call Comp Cams or Crane and see what they want for custom one off grind. They do it all the time. I think it would help with drivability issue and 7500 rpm. I dont know what they will get, but I am sure it will be a pretty penny. They...

    You know what a 300 horsepower, 400 horsepower, and 500 horsepower Turbo Supra have in common? 12 second timeslips. Although our current ROTM is certainly a capable bad ass.

    You know you are a GE owner when you dont give a shit as to how fast it can cover the 1/4 mile. That is what the Mustang is for.

    VVT-i and the 7m-GE

    I have written a short essay(elsewhere) or two straight from the factory manual on ACIS, if your GE feels sluggish down low, it might not work. VSV could be the culprit. FE has been around for a while. The GE head has a cam gear for each cam. The V engines are all FE, space wont allow for the...

    Are my cams F'd? Can they be used? *pics*

    By that you mean more duration on the exhaust right? I have seen a couple of turbo 5 litre Mustangs that benifited. But some of that was the shitty factory head's exhaust port flow.
