Oh im still planning on going with the standalone. I am mainly asking about it to use instead of the standard MSD 6AL box. From what I have read on it, it does everything the standard MSD 6 box does but has the built in retard for boost, plus the soft touch limiter the AL has. I was more...

Has anyone used the MSD 6 BTM box to help relieve some of the ignition issues with the piggybacks? For anyone who isnt familiar with the MSD 6BTM it is a Boost Timing Master MSD box. It retards ignition by 0 deg to 3 deg per lb of boost created. With a max of 15 deg of retard. Other than the...

No I have no plan to actually tune my car myself. I also am not 100% sure who will be doing the tuning. I am not looking for a street driven vehicle for the most part. It may see the street once in a great while, but not something to be daily driven. It will never see anything other than...

No having things I dont need as in a ton of extra sensors and electronic crap I dont need. I am starting with 700cc injectors because I was given a set. Other than that I do not plan to skimp on anything. You can make your judgement on me as to how my build is going to turn out, but all I...

I am starting with 700cc injectors and seeing where that puts me, and then working up from there. I am sure I will need bigger injectors and a lot of things in all by the time I get to my actual power goals, but this is just a start in the direction I am aiming for. Right now I have a set of...

Go to toyota and order it. Not something they are going to have in stock, but shouldnt take forever to get.

Posted those pix of my head. feel free to lemme know if it would work with a MHG, or if its pretty much scrap? If it would work for a non MHG maybe I could find a buyer for it. Lemme know what you think as for what I have there so far. Other than the pitting around the water jackets as thats...

Im also going to be cleaning up those water jackets as long as the head is going to work. I plan on hitting it with the dremel to clean out everything in the journals. That was just from the hot tanking, not getting in there really. And yes that head has green coolant thru it, cause the...

Ok hopefully these upload, but here are the pics of my head. There is nothing you can feel via finger nail across the surface, other than where the pitting is. So im trying to find out if the head is scrap because of that pitting, or will it seal with the MHG with head studs?

I was trying to get those who actually know about this. I am unfamiliar with this ECU, so I was trying to get the information to help me figure out what I can do with it. I have a small laptop that will be kept for the car and have maps on it for what I may need if I am able to do it that...

Also cost isnt much of the concern to me. I just am trying to build a car for something to do, as i am off work from a broken ankle. The money isnt the concern, I just dont want more than I need. I am more of a fan of the older cars, and I want that to reflect in my build. I would rather...

Im not trying to "skimp" on the EMS at all. I was just trying to find out if the EMS would be able to handle it. As for the build itself its not going to be much of a street use car. I want something that is mainly strip use. As far as getting it to hook up, well that is the least of my...

Im looking for any information about the stinger brand Standalone ECU. I have seen it a few different places and has claims about doing a good job of controlling everything I would need on my supra, so I am wondering if anyone has it in their car, has worked with the tuning of it, or generally...

Yeah, once I get my new shop setup i'll get some pics. I have a few questions about it I wanted to post pics about anyway from pitting due to the BHG. Near the water journal by #6. Wanting to see if its going to give me any problems sealing once assembled with the MHG. I know there was...

I just recently got my head back from my machine shop, and with getting the head decked, tanked, 3 angle valve job and reassembled it cost me 425. Although I received a bit of a discount on labor as my buddy was doing most of the work. Block work is yet to come as the engine is still in the...

It didnt damage the wastegate actuator and stay open did it? Boost leak seems most likely but if the waste gate is stuck open at all it wont build boost of blow off either.

One major thing DSM has over us as well is the availability of EPROM ECU's. I have yet to find anything for the supra that would make for a good EPROM. But if we had an EPROM that would make tuning much easier with a stock ecu.

IwantMKIII told me to talk to you about lapping a head as he told me you used to work in a machine shop. My buddy has a machine shop and is testing out prepping a spare head for me, but he has never had to lap a head or block before, so he doesnt know what needs to be done. Could you give me...

Remove the valve covers and while the valve is closed and the lobe is up, slide your feeler gauge into the opening and get the size. You should have .006-.010 on the intake side for clearance, and .008-.012 on the exhaust side for clearance. If you do not, then the shim will probably need to...

Ok my buddy is trying to prep my spare head at his machine shop and has done a great job thus far, but during the surface prep for my MHG he got it flat milled but the surface just doesnt look smooth enough. You can still see a lot where the cutting head cut. I read somewhere on here about...
