    Budget NA build

    You posted this in the build up gallery. That means you now have to buy lots of expensive stuff, install it, and post pics so we can drool. PS- My windshield had the aforementioned rust too.

    questions about tuning with maf-t BASIC.

    With dipswitch #4 in WOT tuning, your base, idle mid and WOT dials become rpm-specific set dials. Do you have a copy of the manual? It explains all this. You can get the manual online.

    Timing

    Someone WILL correct me if I'm wrong, but with an adjustable timing light, you set the advance to what you want(10 degrees), And time the cps so that the timing mark is on TDC.

    FMU vs old school AFC vs New AFC on 7mgte

    For that build, get a used MAFT. It can be scaled to whatever injector size you throw in there. Plus you don't have to use a Lex AFM. Besides- you don't want to do a Lex without 550/ 560's.

    maf-t BASIC. Need some help from those of you who use/used this. Won't idle!!

    You are running the exact setup I have- 560's in blow-thru. Do you have the HAC wire connected? I assume you made sure the GM MAF is connected to the harness. Dip switches: 1 off 2 off 3 on or off 4 off Dials: Aux 0 or 4 is good Base E Idle 0 Mid 0 WOT 0 (These will be adjusted later)

    I have the last one in the world!

    He wasn't a dealer, he just had it sitting around and didn't need it.

    I have the last one in the world!

    I read the wiki blurb that S.A. had posted on the messenger pidgeon....Wow. We americans killed it off in less than a hundred years- from 5+billion, to zero, by using it as meat for slaves or something. Wow. And yeah- I didn't need this one either, but I was drooling over it on Ebay. I;m going...

    I have the last one in the world!

    Yes, I am thinking of putting it behind glass. I don't know if the Ebay seller is on the forums, but let's just say that I got such a rediculously good deal on it, that after receiving it- I sent the guy MORE money, simply because it was a steal- and I appreciate the value of the part that much.

    I have the last one in the world!

    A new, in-the-bag, 1988 Supra turbo MT engine harness... okay, okay...I know it's not the last one- hell, probably a dozen guys right here on the forum have a new one squirreled away on their parts shelves. But it just makes me happier telling myself it's the last one. I didn't...

    Stumped with weird electrical issue, gauge lights and climate control lights.

    What he said. Bad dimmer = no dash/ climate control lights. I believe you can test the theory by bypassin the dimmer control.

    DM's knock off BOV's

    I have a Tial kockoff that I bought like 6 years ago. Never ever had a problem with it, and it sounds great. I'm not saying it's as good as Tial at all, I'm just saying I've had complete success with the "wannabe". :)

    lol. I was thinking the same thing.

    Fall supra meet.

    25th sounds more do-able for me.

    painted intercooler

    Well, that paint was a heat protection material, as well as radar-absorbing. Didn't really have anything to do with the color. Regardless- still the coolest plane ever made, thermally and philosophically speaking.

    Failed Smog Please help!

    If you're that close, I'd consider just cleaning or replacing spark plugs- that might do it. Also, check your egr vavle as per the tsrm- they get clogged up after a while. Not sure if switching to 87 will help, though it does burn faster.

    Idle issue on fresh rebuild

    Are the cams timed properly? I recently put a motor together, and after I was positive that both cams were dead perfect, I took the cam cover off and found the intake off by a tooth.
