    Resistor box removal?

    Lol. And remember that a stitch in time saves nine. Or it might be ten- can't remember. Check the service manual to be sure before you begin.

    Walbro fuel pump upgrade - is 12V mod required?

    I've run my Walbro without the 12v mod for 5yrs now, but I only boost to about 12psi max, and it's tuned rich. When i go to a T-4 after the summer, I'll be doing the rewire. And as Shaeff pointed out, the 9-12volt switchover does play havoc with AFR adjustment when you're going for max power.

    Got the car running, now over heated and other problems.

    Yes. The thermostat is designed to hold coolant in the radiator long enough to allow the heat to be transferred to the rad, and thus to the airflow. If it flows straight through with being allowed to "pause" in the radiator, then no heat gets radiated, thus sending hot coolant back into the...

    Pop when turning

    I get that too. Lemme know if you figure it out, but my plan is to replace all control arm front bushings, balljoints and the entire steering rack+ bushings. So I imagine I'll find it in there somewhere.

    Power to weight Ratio? Car? Vs Supra

    Hell, we still do it. High performance single engine planes like the Cirrus GTS and Columbia 400 are both twin turbo. And with intake, exhaust and MAFT, I made 260/260 rwhp/tq on 7.5 psi. That's close to 290 flywheel hp. So there's no reason Habanero can't be even higher than that with his setup.

    MA70 Supra Windscreen - Interchangable ?

    Not sure, Razoe. But I can tell you that a guy just told me to make sure that when they replace the windshield on a targa, that they should use an adhesive strip, and not glue the windshield into place. This will allow it to flex in the frame. I have to get my windshield replaced again due to a...

    Resistor box removal?

    Clarification- What type of injectors are you putting in- and what year is your car- '88?

    7M-GTE poor idle after fresh rebuild

    It's the cps. The way to verify this, is to remove the timing adjustment(cps hold-down) bolt, and rotate the cps about 5 degrees either way beyond its normal range of adjustment. If it runs smoother(which it will), that means you have to insert the cps one tooth in the direction of where you...

    Installed evo injectors today

    Thanks. I also noticed that the car starts alot faster now; used to take like 4-5 seconds of cranking. Now it only takes 2. I was thinking that my fuel pump's checkvalve was bad because I'd always lose rail pressure after shutdown, but now I'm wondering if I had an injector or two leaking?

    Where do these gaskets go? (pic)

    Yeah, but that's regular maintenance, vs. screws that haven't been touched since Reagan was president.

    where are the clips?

    You just need Bosch type clips. They're also referred to as EV1 connectors. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RC-Fuel-Injector-Wiring-Clips-Connectors-Bosch-EV1-EV-1-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem4cea4b14afQQitemZ330348303535QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

    MA70 Supra Windscreen - Interchangable ?

    A windshield as carry-on??:yikes: I *don't* think that'll "fit easily into the overhead compartment, or under the seat in front".

    pre-89 mk3 with whale-tail

    There's the Bomex, and the Kaminari styles. You probably won't find a Kaminari style available, but people tend to prefer the Bomex style(Shine replica) more anyway. Kaminari: Bomex/Shineauto:

    Supra build easy horsepower

    Well, the 22R had a flapper style airflow meter, something not even used on the 7mgte. Sometimes people mess with them on the NA's, but like metioned above, it wouldn't help with our cars.

    Installed evo injectors today

    Actually, I was going to tuck it all underneath, but wasn't sure it'd fit that way. Now I know. :) Oh, and I got these injectors for only 208 shipped, and they guy told me that four of the injectors were brand new and I believe it by the looks. Plus they all came with a new seals and o-rings.

    Installed evo injectors today

    So today out in the 95 degree, 90% humidity, I decided it would be a good idea to install some evo injectors I just picked up. Not much to it, just alot of disassembly, cutting, soldering, heat-shrinking, and reassembly. Getting started: I found that 3 of my 6 injector clips were...
