Can you post a picture of your modded alt bracket. I'm thinking of going to a larger alt.Kick ass thread too. GL935motorsports said:

Buy an oem alternator and have it juiced up. You can get to make them push up to and over 100 volts. Isn't the 2jz alt only 80?

Take it to the largest stereo dealer in town. Those guys that do HUGE sound systems rebuild alts, usually. Or a battery house, pardon they slang if you know what I mean.
Toyota tod me I could not get an alt. from them larger than 80 amps. I was thinking of boosting mine because of my msd gear. But everyone seems to think that the 70 amp oem is fine.

My lights dim alot when im idling at night, or when my system is on during the day. I've tried 2 other alts. and they dont seem to make a difference is why i was asking. Sorry for the question, i dont mean to jack the thread

WTF! how are you running a 7m with no trapdoore AFM? I have spent the last 2 months trying to nix that cork in my intake.

He's still running an AFM. If you read the thread you'd find he's running all of the electronics from a 7m-GTE.... different type of AFM.
The next step, most likely, is to install the ACIS system and see how it feels. Even though it is a cressida engine, it is on a Supra ECU. That rich midrange could be related to the ECU expecing the ACIS system in place.
Okay I started reading this and it has been killing me the entire time I went through this thread. Im new to working on this engine seeing as how I just recently got my Supra. What exactly did you need to purchase and where did you purchase the parts to turbo the 7m-ge? Ive looked through various threads and only found bits and pieces of the information I need and it still has not been enough to piece the puzzle together. i understand that you need a new ecu and some other electronics but what exactly do I need? And I cant find parts for this engine to save my life! Ugh... Its been driving me crazy, Im a Marine in So Cal and cars is what I do in my spare time, but this has been driving me mad, I have never converted a non turbo engine to turbo before I have upgraded turbocharged cars with larger turbo but a monkey can do that.
I'm advanced +2 intake, retard -3 exhaust
The top end isn't bad, I think it's a little better than many stockish dynos I've seen.
I'm also using a 2" lower piece, smaller than the MK3 one. If I don't use the header, I'll be converting the lower have to full 2.5".
I remember reading somewere here about the amount of advance and retard for one tooth of the cam gears, can't remember what it is though. You guys know? If I was to move the exhaust gear one tooth retarded, what degrees would that be? Or one tooth advance on the intake? I believe with my cams I would benefit some, just don't have the adjustable gears or the money for them right now.
