Not sure where to post this, but I want to focus specifically on the MKIII since we all know they have their own special needs (and shops claiming experience with the MKIV are a dime a dozen)... I'm looking for a reputable performance shop around Raleigh, Durham or Chapel Hill, NC to tune my...

Great advice, thank you! The car, unfortunately, doesn't look quite the same as it did in the photos... it sat in the sun a bit and the front driver's side fender has some fading and pealing, and there is a rust spot under the skirt piece behind the passenger side front wheel well. Otherwise...

Hey all, I apologize in advance if this turns into a long read - it's somewhat complicated... I have a bit of a dilemma... Some of you may remember me from several years back - I used to be pretty active here... Basically, I'm in the process of moving, and the car's been sitting idle...

FYI - Relevant list of things done: Brian Crower 272 Cams CP Carillo Pistons Brian Crower Rods Fidanza adjustable Cam Gears HKS Metal Stopper Headgasket Greddy Timing Belt ARP Head and Main Studs / bolts AEM UEGO Wideband Removed KVM (since MAP ECU should be able use Manifold Absolute Pressure).

Hey everyone, Very long time, no post... I apologize... Life has been busy and the supra has taken a back seat up until now... Unfortunately, this past Saturday (12/19) my long standing mechanic / friend passed away in a car accident up in MD. He had completed a full engine tear down /...

Sounds like you may have a tear in one of your coolant hoses, or possibly a loose hose connection somewhere... check all your hoses and the underside of your car for drips or wetness. It could be a small tear that opens up when your drive hard, so make sure you look thoroughly. Check your...

That's what I'm wondering... We actually had a syncing issue with this unit initially, so we sent it back to the MAP ECU for inspection. They performed some sort of 'warranty service' on it for free (I believe it was probably something simple like a firmware flash or something) and sent it...

We unplugged the stock O2 sensor because that's what a thread on the MAP ECU site (posted by MAP_ECU Man) said to do in order to prevent the ECU from overriding / 'correcting' the A/F ratios, but I'll look into that further. I do still have my AFM laying around, but the car's been parked for 3+...

My mechanic has been working on my tune for several weeks now (on and off) and finally seems to have a configuration that runs well and maintains good A/F ratios from idle through heavy throttle... The problem is, he has to re-load the file every time he starts the car or it seems to lose the...

Agreed. I have AEM adjustable cam gears, +1mm SS valves, titanium springs/retainers, ARP head / main studs, BC Pro Rods, CP Pistons, HKS Stopper Head Gasket, AEM Wideband, etc... My Map ECU2 initially had a firmware issue that I had to send it back for - that's why I was testing it without. I...

With the Stage II cams you should be fine... They're pretty much 'plug and play'. I have the Stage III 272 BCs and initially they idled lumpy as hell, but the ECU actually seemed to 'learn' them and adjust for them, eventually starting and idling smoothly without any outside tune (took about a...

Thanks for the input, I'll take another look at it and get back with you all!

I purchased a Tanabe Hyper Medallion cat-back from another member on this forum and finally had a chance to install it over the weekend. Upon installation, I have a couple issues... #1 The bend for the muffler pipe seems to rub / be VERY close to the subframe. #3 The exhaust tip is recessed...

Ok, didn't know that 1J switched to voltage - that definitely makes things a bit easier... I actually went with a MAP ECU 2 :)

I'll just toss this in from my research... I was actually researching the F/IC for my car recently and chose to go in a different direction... Just of note; the AEM F/IC would need to be the 8 channel version to run properly with our cars due to the frequency output from the AFM rather...

Excellent, thank you very much everyone for the help! I truly appreciate it!

You can retard timing but you cannot advance it with the FIC. You are correct, it's a piggyback, so it does manipulate the stock ECU, which does certainly make some things more difficult. Why? Please elaborate as to what benefits the full standalone setup would offer me for twice the $$$ at...

I just got off the phone with AEM a few minutes ago and the rep assured that it would work (although he stated that "on paper" they have no examples of a 7M running one). He said to go for the FIC -8 instead of the FIC -6 for the frequency based flow meter support. Just FYI, here are the...

I checked the DM site and the AEM EMS V2 PnP for the MKIII is for 89-02 - I may be missing something though, not a very intuitive website and search didn't really work for me... I may go for a full stand alone, however I'm wondering why he's pointing toward (and seems pretty confident about)...

I've searched all over for information pertaining to using the AEM F/IC on the 7M, and I've found next to nothing. The only half informative thing I found was on AEM's tech forum where someone was asking how to get it to work, then followed up with something "my car is running now, thanks AEM...
