    MegaSquirt II Successfully Running on 7M-GTE!!! (Lots of pics and walkthrough)

    Ummm good idea on the Braket BUT you MUST use thicker material!! That one WILL vibrate and you will get inconsitant readings! Trust me on this one!.

    A positive-boost turbo system???

    aahhh there we go. that is better increase in FUEL efficency which overall is just only a tiny percentage of the total efficency of the internal combustion engine :) An increase in overall efficency, the motor could do more (more MPG, More HP, More torque, LESS Heat) with the same...

    Quick question about fuel pressure?

    before if it is a mechanical fuel pressure gauge.

    Should I get a flywheel

    huh? it does not lower HP. Heavier means more inertia to overcome. the same hp still flows through it 400hp = 400hp. The HP loss actually occurs in the transmission and differential.

    e-manage Ultimate...Yay or nay?

    dude, impatient. Injector direct control v. fooling ecu into lower air. One does not fuck with ignition (EMU) the other does (SAFC). My advise don't bother with the SAFC-3 though I know you bought it. Sell it. Pointless to "trick" the ecu that way. And that way you have more money...

    A positive-boost turbo system???

    how is that possible? it might jump a couple points (high 20/low 30) but the reason for the internal engines combustion low efficency is because of all the heat loss, pumping losses and friction everywhere and namely rings v. cylinder walls.

    Ian you are running a 1.06 hotside on the gt35r?

    A positive-boost turbo system???

    Adjuster I am aware of STS and am also very well aware of thermodynamic principles. 5.7 Liters of air each revolution MUST go somewhere ;) But trust me on this that if the turbos where shoe horned in the engine compartment they would spool much faster as there is more volume of it (heat...

    A positive-boost turbo system???

    nope what you want is heat and the most of it possible. If the gases are allowed to cool any then you have lost alot of energy to spin the turbo. Heat has to stay in the exhaust.

    A positive-boost turbo system???

    nope those are the variable vanes. They are the smallest at mid power to aid in cruising speed and open all the way at full throttle to let the 30,000 lbs of thrust do it's thing :) All turbo fans with afterburners have them.

    A positive-boost turbo system???

    lol i know the turbiine blades. here let me show you what the exhaust vanes are :) See the red circles. Those vanes close and open depending on the where the throttle position is at :)

    questions after rebuild

    Well i can tell you your mechanic is WRONG. the rings seat within the first 30 miles of driving. Hence the flog it method of breaking the motor in (motoman.com i think is the address). After that you can change to synthetic but the break in process MUST finish. But it does not take anywhere...

    A positive-boost turbo system???

    no not talking about the turbine blades. that is a different alloy all together :) And the B-1b uses the F101-GE-102 :) I am talking about the electronically controlled thrust vanes on the exhaust side of the engines.

    venom 550cc direct fit

    PTE use Delphi injectors. :) avaialble from 440cc/min to 1000cc/min. They are good and I haven't had any issues with them. Nippo Denso are standard fair in the Supra. Except we use 440. The 550 from ND came in the RX-7 of the same year.

    questions after rebuild

    Or just use this tool and be done with it :) http://www.radcapproducts.com/airevac.html pulls a vacuum on the cooling system and then fills it with coolant. Zero air in the system means no gurgling and definely no waiting for heat cycling or doing the inconsistant and not 100% burp method.
