    *Electronic Boost Controllers*

    LOL, from the 'things you never thought you'd see written on Supra Mania' file, Ian complains about making too much power. :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh: I've heard it all now, LOL.

    *Electronic Boost Controllers*

    I agree. I never messed with it because I wasn't making but 260ish rwhp before my rebuild, so I set the boost as high as I could (I couldn't afford to lose any, ya know) :biglaugh: Anyway, after I get my new motor in & broke in well, I want to play my AVC-R a lot more to see how much I can...

    *Electronic Boost Controllers*

    I see where you're going with this. I almost positive it get's the speed from the ECU. I've never messed with my AVC-R enough to set boost according to gear selection, so I can't advice on its' functionality.

    *Electronic Boost Controllers*

    it senses gears by the value from RPM divided by vehicle speed. This is found on page 34 in the AVC-R instruction manual. :icon_bigg Ian, I love the AVC-R. It get's my recomendations.

    help.....polishing

    One thing to consider after polising aluminum: Zoop Seal! It's a little on the pricey side ($130ish), but once you seal it with ZoopSeal, no need to polish your parts again for years. The company says 3-4 years, but talking to others that have used it, it's more like 8-10 years.

    help.....polishing

    Get a palm sander, and a dremel will help immensely too. I have about 4 hours in my manifold, with most of the time being spent on the runners. My advice is to spend more time sanding with the rougher grits, definitely not less. After skipping the lower grits & sanding for hours, I had to...

    help.....polishing

    No matter how smooth the piece of aluminum I'm working is, I always start with 80 grit. Sand it w/ 80 grit until you think you've removed all the high spots, then hit it again for another good bit. IMO, the first round of sanding is the most crucial. If you miss something in the early stages...

    Mandrel bends costs? Here's what I paid.....

    Got the pieces in today & I have to say that I'm impressed with the quality. I did call Global Tech to dispute the shipping charges, and they told me that they only bill your credit card for the actual shipping charges ($28 & change instead of the $65). Also, if there is enough interest in...

    Piston Choices

    Werd! My machinist sent my entire rotating assembly (harmonic balancer to the pressure plate) to a guy in North Carolina so he could balance it. Skipping the balance would be suicide.
