In all honesty, there needs to be a sticky thread explaining not only the Lexus injectors/AFM mod, but a detailed explanation of how fuel cut works, what is AFM, and why engines WORK THE WAY THEY WORK. It almost has to be that remedial to get the point across. Without understanding what an...

I don't mean to sound like an ass, but removing, adding, or playing with your engine mechanicals without proper knowledge is the common cause for engines grenading, resulting in quick deaths of the car or large amounts of cash being thrown away to correct your mistakes. Before excising ANYTHING...

And.... from http://autorepair.about.com/od/glossary/gr/def_egr-valve.htm What is EGR? The EGR valve helps your car more efficiently and completely burn fuel by recirculating a portion of your exhaust and running it through the combustion process again. This results in a cooler, more...

You guys REALLY need to research this stuff before you get yourselves and others killed.... :3d_frown: From : http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/frequently-answered-dsm-questions/186971-what-fuel-cut.html WHAT IS FUEL CUT? Fuel cut is actually a removal of the the injector firing signal from...

Yeah, those old factory muffler bearings are a bitch on performance when they go out. Best to keep JDM tyte, yo. :: badger :::: badger :::: badger ::

+1 on that. I also ditched the cats in the back of mine and it made it even more powerful. Just make sure you know someone that can pass your inspection through w/o yelling about missing environmental equipment (IF you cut the cats off!!!). It literally woke my turbo up. It wasn't really...

How do you shift? And did you just have to buy the base unit and the universal harness, right?

That would've been cool to see running.. :naughty:

THAT is sad... :3d_frown: But funny! Get an Eclipse system, from what I heard they were the original manufacturers of the factory deck in the MKIII's anyway. Bluetooth, iPod, CD, hands-free everything!

I thought it was $750 for the basic PCS, another $150 for the universal harness, $500 for the paddle shifter w/o display, and whatever the cost is for the computer connection. Then you'd still need a laptop for programming it outside, etc... How much was yours roughly, and what did you use...

I was wondering what IJ was smoking... :yelrotflm

I'm doing really well with my auto, so much that I'll be looking at increasing the stall and adding a Suprastick. Everyone that has those seem to love how they feel. I wish I could afford those PCS systems, but I can't chew down over 2-grand for everything you need for 'em.

Okay. I picked up the ebay hood and hatch shocks to ditch the famous "Supra Stick" axe-handle mod, and am having some problems. The front struts went in slick as can be, and it's so much better trying to work on the engine without worrying about the car turning into Christine. The rear...

I read that too. Some people just can't own cars. :3d_frown:

A common failpoint on the speedo cable is an L-bracket that is attached to the side of the transmission box under the car. The short speedo cable will sometimes break its internals right at that piece, and you will need to replace that L-bracket as well as the short cable. The easiest way to...

Bad.... for both of you. Here's the problem. The mesh screens are more porous (larger holes per particle) than air filters, so larger particles of dirt, crap, water, etc... gains access to your throttle body. Then the foreign material mixes in with the O2 and fuel and gets ignited inside your...

Anything badged as a "Supra" and/or "Turbo" is gonna get fucked with. Some kid sees that on a car and thinks they HAVE to beat 'em, even if no one else sees it. Then, when they lose and lose BIG, they'll still hop over to their fanboi forums and brag on the turbo with shitty mods, ragged engine...

+ 1. I had to be real careful gapping mine to correct specs, but they do require proper gapping, just like any other plug. A steady hand and no heavy force will do the trick.

Way to go bein' born, hoss!! :biglaugh:

Sorry, after reading all this, had to interject... Let the circle-jerk be unbroken... :nono::naughty:
