You are absolutely correct. A good friend of mine has this model, with some seriously upgraded suspension and about the same level of mods. On the street, it was a serious sleeper - he used it for AutoX racing and did very well with it.

To test this, just pull off the exhaust at the turbo elbow and take it for a test drive. If it improves drastically, there's your problem.

And the single most likely cause... split or leaking IC pipe couplers, especially the one between your 3000 pipe and the throttle body. Check them all - better yet, pressure test the intake.

Congrats! Free hit from me. :)

Ok, no worries then. You are seriously unlikely to cause any damage if you are still hitting FC at 10psi. Get that EGT and you can use it to tune the WOT settings - I think you will find that you can increase FC by a LOT without seeing your EGTs spike significantly.

PS: I expect to be at the PacNW Supra meet July 15th in Portland, Oregon, and I'll bring some with me if there are any left.

When I have them in my hands, I'll post a thread on how to order them. I'll take paypal, check, or cash, and mail you however many you want.

Yes, please do. I find myself in direct contradiction of your statements.

Let me rephrase it in 'normal' circumstances. Director of the FBI: Hello Johnny. I like your boyscout uniform - nice collection of badges you have there. How are your parents, Tim and Susan treating you? Johnny: How did you know my parents names? Director of the FBI: Johnny, I am the...

No, it's designed to leak fluid like that to prevent excessive clutch wear. ;) j/k, you need a new master.

Well... honestly, I think it's funny because Scout is asking a question with an obvious answer, and Yoda, who has been silly upon occasion but is usually serious, is making fun of him. PS: methinks is actually one word - and is geek talk for "I think that..."

Actually, that's a fine reading for the base right there, don't touch it at all. And all the readings should come out close to 2.5v in the end, regardless - with the exception of the WOT setting, that one is going to be odd unless you have a wideband. Do you have an EGT? What other mods are...

That's the car that is now putting down 900. In a word, HOLY SHIT.

Engine doesn't torque over much, hmm? Tell that to Jeremy, who tore his motor mount in half, then torqued the engine over hard enough that it pulled his wastegate line off and made him overboost at Mission. The only difference between aluminum and steel is the weight for this purpose. The...

Personally I won't worry about it too much. I don't think you are going to run out of fuel running a stock CT26.

IIRC, the fellow who blew his nitrous in the intake was the 900 hp monster, he is running a larger turbo and LOTS of nitrous on a built motor. The other guy at Vegas who is running stock internals was *only* pushing out 600+ hp IIRC. There were pictures posted of the 900+ hp engine bay...

Someone sent this to me at work, and it just keeps making me giggle, so here you go. Scout "How did you know?" Yoda "Grand Master of Jedi, I am. Win this position in raffle, think you?"

To be perfectly honest, question like this should have horsepower goals, not PSI goals. The SP turbo can take you well into the 400hp range. A CT26 will not.

Patience guys... I still won't take money for these until I have them in my hands, which is not the case at this time.

bobiseverywhere - did you try the links in post #8? rakkasan - I get the suspicion they are bracket racing - so the slower car will start first, then the faster car will start later, by the number of seconds faster it should be. In theory, both cars should hit the finish line at exactly the...
