    Built 1UZ with ITB's

    You got that right! NOTHING sounds like the scream that 8 direct injectors creates, especially when you're burning alcohol (as the old A-altered's did).........ahhhhhhhhhhhhh perfect.::w00t:: .

    Rear End/Suspension Questions

    100% believe you, I know you will...lol. Otherwise it would be like asking a fish not to swim, or a bird not to fly or a clueless newbe MkIII owner not to start a thread that perfectly describes all the symptoms of a bhg. :icon_bigg

    do u need ajustable cam gear w/bc stage 2 cams

    Baseline timing is the key factor here. If you and/or who ever you are talking to don't have your cams degreed in with a wheel to absolute zero, then it's apples to oranges. And even then, how your engine behaves is going to vary greatly depending on all the other variables (compression...

    additional retard for NOs

    It's not a "retarded" question (yeah I get it). In fact, I've already been giving it some thought because higher octane race fuel will give me a little buffer against detonation. This will be especially important since I will have to "retune" fairly often to suit what I'm doing at the time...

    Built 1UZ with ITB's

    Yeah it sounds bitchin! Also sounds like they still got some tuning to do on those itb's. It sounds a little hesitant when they first open them up. Synching those bitches has got to be hell, if they're anything like the 8 injectors on my old A-altered. Of course, we didn't have...

    All this talk of rod knock makes me uncomfortable.:sarcasm: .

    Rear End/Suspension Questions

    I can't help but think this is the result of rust more than the result of driveline stress: ] I don't think this would have happened if your car would have been from Cali or Arizona etc... Shaeff: as hard as you have (and continue to) worked on your Supra, I don't think we'll be seeing...

    TRD bushings

    It does seem like a lot of money for what you are getting, but I couldn't tell you what manufacturing costs are, maybe they're expensive to make. And as someone pointed out low volume production means higher end-user price. Whatayagonnado? :icon_conf I you gotta have 'em, you gotta have 'em.

    Supras on Speed's Car Crazy

    I'm not sure what it was made for, but I think we can all agree that's what the internet is best at.

    Rear End/Suspension Questions

    First thing, use a LSD rearend. Second make sure it's in proper working order (has oil in it, has proper oil, doesn't leak, no slop and clutches aren't toast). If that's all up to snuff...at 450 hp, you should be fine.

    TRD bushings

    Right as always, I just got off the phone with Jeff and indeed they are no longer available. :cry: *[begin whining sequence]*-I wish companies (not picking on Champion) would keep their websites up to date so I wouldn't get myself all jacked-up over some part that hasn't been avilable since...

    Front blinker re-wire????

    Poodles: As long as were on the subject, I had the idea to wire an led behind each of my electric outside mirrors (probably red, wide focus) to create a glow around the gap between the mirror itself and the housing that would blink on and off in unison with the signals...

    ice (woohoo)

    All I can think of everytime I hear about somebody sliding around in the snow and/or ice is...another MkIII rusting away to nothing. L.A. sucks in a lot of ways, but at least the weather doesn't slowly eat my car.

    blew up my one jay, may be out of the game... input appreciated

    Here's the thing...even if you sell it and recoup whatever you can get for it and pay back your creditors, you still need a ride. Which means...you have to buy a car. If you don't have the money to buy a car cash (and it sounds like you don't) then you need a loan = more debt than you...

    additional retard for NOs

    That was a straightforward answer from a qualified source...Thank-you.

    additional retard for NOs

    I have heard that...I'm ashamed to say that I've never used them. But I'm going to now. I come from the "old school" (which was just called "school" when I was a kid:icon_razz ) and I don't think they even existed when I was coming up. I am trying to keep it as simple as possible because I...

    additional retard for NOs

    Information on this seems pretty hard to come by...it's like looking for sympathy at an Ayn Rand reading.:icon_bigg

    additional retard for NOs

    Is there a rule of thumb for a turbocharged engine when calculating ignition timing retard for the addition of NOs? The guys I know are all running n/a V8's. My usual method is to blow-up whatever I am running to find it's limits. Hopeing to possibly avoid that. :nono:

    Must the a/c condensor be removed to run a large FMIC?

    Consider a dual oil filter adapter. Summit or anyone like that has them. :icon_bigg
