    MAP-ECU Tuning

    well you know how there's a heat up time for a wide band, and when you turn your car on the w/b doesn't read. what im saying is wire it directly to a 12v no a swtiched source, so when you start your car it doesn't shut off then reset, this way, you can watch the a/f content the very...

    Oil leaks I thought were gone...

    lol yeah i know, people miss it or ignore it tho, i tend just to call any rubbering compound that comes out a squeez tube silicone, it's a bad habbit, but ys, toyota wants you to use form in place gasket there, along with the oil pan, and a fe other area's, deck surface/ timming cover and...

    Another crank/no-start.

    i just set timming an a stocker, the timming should be 10+ btdc, i usualy set mine at 11/12 like you said, thats with the test connector jumped, the ecu adjust's timming as needed, and the only way to correctly set it is with the t/e1 jumped in the diag box, other wise base timming...

    MAP-ECU Tuning

    well does the w/b read rich or lean when the car is tring to start? if the w/b cuts out wire it to a sperate batterie, that way it doesn' re-set when the car starts. being to rich or to lean will cause hesitation and boggin/stutering problems.

    Another crank/no-start.

    did you just install the maft pro? what supraguy said makes sense, unless your timming is spot on, you said you didn't adjust or remove it, and so long as the bolt stayed tight the cps wont be off as far as the cam goes, but is the cam timming correct? when i first read you post...

    Other seats in mkiiis

    i'm thinking about getting some megan racing seats. Looking for something that will look nice with updated seat belts. After driving sandrails on the dunes for so long I hate the feeling of wearing "normal" seat belts compared to 4 or 5 point race harness's in an mk3 shot..

    MAP-ECU Tuning

    one thing i forgot to mention when vf isn't satified, and you are too rich, or to lean, tccs pulls timming to keep the combustion process safe, so this over all means NO power!, just an fyi.

    Copy of a cast HKS exhaust mani?

    in my opinion HKS put the innovation and R&D in their products. A copy cat is just that. A copy of a product with little to no R&D to determine if it fits correctly, the quality of materials, customer service (might not apply now).. I would always spend the $150 more to have a name over a ebay...

    Copy of a cast HKS exhaust mani?

    Why buy it?! Stop cheaping out. Add up the costs if you have nothing from the start. $250 for that manifold. Another $250 for a wastegate. Do you have to have a spacer for that manifold?.. Thats $500 right there. For another $150 I bought a REAL hks long runner w/ wastegate. To me...

    MAP-ECU Tuning

    well if you noticed the post supracentral made theree are 5 voltages for vf, vf can make corrections upto 20% or so, so if you tune in closed loop, say 5% lean, vf will richen the mixture back up, even tho you have "tuned" for 14.7 it's really the ecu healing it's self from the lean spot you...
