Does the 7M-GE have a fuel dampener?

 

[isnms]

no.

 

[hvyman]

yes.

Okay, I re-checked.
The 89-92 EPC, I was looking at, does not show one

however the 86-88 EPC page does show one

So - Yes AND No

You should make this a 'No', even if you have a 'Yes'.
They are very susceptable (esecially how old the cars are now) to failing, and spraying the engine bay down with fuel.

Sorry, but I do not like 'Southern Fried Supra'..........

Ways to get rid of it, or is it needed?

quote from Justin's sale thread:

The bolt that is in place of the fuel pulsation dampener on NA's. If you want to get rid of the FPD then you can do so with this bolt.

edit: Oh, but it does provide a function. Kind of a shock damper for your injectors. I'll see if I can find the technical info later...

Pulsation Damper
Although fuel pressure is maintained at a constand value by the pressure regulator, the pulsing of the injectors causes minor fluctuations in the rail pressure. The pulsation damper acts as an accumulator to smooth out these pulsations, ensuring accurate fuel metering.

wtf is a fuel dampener?

Pros and cons of it? I can't see any cons of it.

^ I keep mine. I'm not running hi hp, maybe ~300 now, last dyno was 275.
They do make performance FPD - http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98856

I don't know the value of removing it. There may be reason when running higher hp but you could always use the performance FPD.
