    On the Fence: What's my project worth?

    I have come to realize that if this doesn't run soon I will be left with no choice: probably taking a huge loss on my project. I just cannot ever find time to work on it and make any more progress. So tell me what you think I could get out of this, whether it be not running or if I do get it...

    HKS VPC/GCC/EVCII or Maft-Pro w/ boost control?:dunno:

    What do you guys think? I just completed my rebuild, I'm waiting on a CPS and after that my car should be running. Would it be better to keep my HKS VPC/GCC and EVCII or try to sell it all to switch to Maft-Pro with boost control? I heard it is better/easier to get the car running in stock...

    Norwood Performance Twin Turbo 7M

    It was built by Bob Norwood at Norwood Performance (a.k.a. Norwood Autocraft) I first saw it in my book "How to Tune and Modify Engine Management Systems" on pg.13, and the same picture in the movie. Does anyone have any information on this car, or more pictures? It is at 4'11" of the "7M...

    280zx Water damage, how much is too much?

    Roughly a year ago I had my '95 Z28. I loved that car but it was getting expensive and I decided to part with it. Soon after that I knew I wanted to build something, and always loved Datsuns. I'd love to have a 240z, and would search for them all around. About a mile away at a family owned...

    Ongoing issues with starting

    Read this post first!!! Edited/updated. Reviving my old thread, here is the problem: Car started before (after rebuild), TPS was bad, replaced and adjusted that. Tested CPS, that was shot, so I replaced that with a known good unit, now it still doesn't start. I read that if the tach...

    10:1 AFR's, stumbling, help!

    I've been reading threads for days, no one seems to have the same problems as what I have. First and foremost, I just finished a rebuild and some key parts I'm using that may help diagnose my problem are: Denso 550s HKS VPC/GCC EGR! CC! VSVs! Stock fuel pump and FPR, there is vacuum to...

    Code 31 using VPC???

    VPC converts the afm to speed density, removing the afm as stated for years. Am I supposed to put a resistor or something in the afm because I just fired my car up last week finally and its storing code 31=afm.

    Abnormally high oil psi

    Gah! If anyone has been following any of my threads, I finally got my car running after a rebuild. I hooked up my mechanical oil pressure gauge just now using the adapter to go to our blocks and ran copper hose all the way to my gauge. So I start it up and it goes up to about 40-45 psi at IDLE...

    Stupid CPS question

    **Installed and timed CPS correctly** Still have a boost leak, so I tested it again and it sounds like the air is coming out of my (cracked) CPS cover??? Is air even supposed to be on that side of the CPS? I didn't think it mattered because, well, many people's covers are broken. I'll be...

    ISC valve ? Block off/reroute?

    Finishing up my build and I was wondering about the ISC valve. I noticed someone on here simply blocked it off, are there any negative effects to this? I'm using the VPC so the maf is gone and I'm just using a 3" aluminum pipe off the turbo, and there aren't any ports for the ISC hose. Thanks in...

    Rebuilt and won't start up

    I guess I could wait till I have more time but I am impatient. Yesterday I finally completely finished my build and went to start the car but nothing happened except I could hear the relays clicking by the ABS. I checked the ALT fuses and the fusible link, and one fuse wasn't there so I replaced...

    Problems with dropping in motor?

    Anyone else have issues with getting a motor back in an '87? Finally finished my build (haven't updated in a little while) and I've been prying on the chassis mount over and over to get the mount on the motor to line up. Any tricks? It's driving me insane :aigo: -Chris

    HELP!! Cam follower stuck!

    I posted this same thing in my build thread but nobody responds in there so I thought I would try in here because it's putting the pause on my build. When installing the lifter buckets, a lot of the intake ones were very hard to get in. I had them all in order, so I know they went in the same...

    SevenMKIII's First Build!

    Little background... (I guess this is sort of a late introduction, too) My first Supra. My friend has owned this car for probably 6 years and put maybe 5k miles on it. In the past 1 1/2 years I've been wanting this car very bad because I knew the true potential, but everyone was against it...

    Opinions on stock modded FFIM?

    Ran across this on eBay, what do you all think of this? I know it has to flow better than stock (especially if using end-to-end FMIC) but I want some input. Looks good to me, if it wasn't too much trouble modding everything else he mentioned...

    HKS Sport Turbo, reviews?

    I've only seen two of these other than mine on the net. Was given to me with the purchase of my Supra, they had no idea what it was until I got ahold of it :love: It's the 57 trim HKS Sport Turbo upgrade for the 7MGTE, just bolts onto the stock manifold and even has a tap for an egt gauge. Does...

    Electronic fixer needed!

    Didn't know where to post this but I have an older HKS EVC that I got with the purchase of my car but he said it doesn't work...? I'm not sure if it turns on or anything or if its just something that needs to be fixed but I am horrible with electronics and wanted to see if anyone could take it...
