cool. i won't have my car done until end of january tho. i got a lot of things going on with it . and im a newby so im gonna need some tuning help
alloyguitar;1195097 said:
well... where do i start. i wanted to go the easiest but effiscient route with this build. so after i bought my 1989 toyota supra targa turbo, i switced the automatic tranny to a r154 tranny to fit my needs. ive got my engine in the shop (almost done). its being built with clevitte 77 bearings, and all arp hardware. so it should hold together. i have a 1.2 HKS mill head gasket, new aisin oil pump new water pump , i got the aeromotive FPR KIT. with 550 cc RC flow charted injectors. lexus AFM, i just now bought the APEXI NEO, with some cosmetic touches for the engine bay. new energy suspension front bushings.i got a 1 piece aluminum fly wheel, with ACT stage 3 clutch with chromoly lightened flywheel. i almost forgot that i have an upgraded ct26 57 trim turbo from driftmotion. and airfilter etc. also greddy profec B boost controller, with greddy turbo timer, and zietronix wideband kit from driftmotion. and new intercooler and piping....
so thats most of my goodies for my project. i will need help in the tuning process, as far as the wideband kit, NEO, and Boost controller turbo timer are concerned, thats my biggest issues, and the tuning after the install. so if any of the local homies are down for helping out a fellow supra builder , please feel free too. im always down for someone who can show me up and help me do it the right way. HOLLA!!!
Well, it sounds like you have most of the bases covered, but unless I missed it, you may want to think about fuel cut.
I have mine eliminated via Maf-t, but in your case I'd either go with the FCD or a lexus afm I hear helps a ton (although I've never tried this myself).
Depending on when I have time, I (and possibly my motor tech) wouldn't mind helping you out. I'll keep you posted.

thanks man . and i already have the lexus afm, to go with my injectors... so is their still a fuel cut issue?
Honestly, I don't THINK so, depending on how much boost you plan on running, but as I said earlier, I've never ran a lex-afm, so I couldn't tell you for certain.
Search for it and see what you find.

I am down for a trip to the dragon. I live in athens, tn. the direct mid point between chattanooga and knoxville,lol. I'm about 10 or 15 mintues away from cleveland, about 20 or 25 away from benton, and depending on where in Rhea county, about 20 minutes from there,lol. Plus my 87 turbo should be good to go in the next week or two, hopefully. Oh and did anyone hit the O'Reily World of Wheels down in Chattown this week end?

...didn't know about it. Plus, my car is more for "go" than "show," if you know what I mean...
Not the prettiest thing in the world. Hit me up when you get your car running and we'll meet up or something.
I'm down for a run to the dragon. Went last year with my dad on our the bikes, had a blast. Would love to take the supra out there. Just need to know when.

Ive gone to the world of wheels twice in past years and well once youve gone once you dont need to go again, its the same damn cars every year!
NOTICE to all tennessee guys we got a tenn registration thing so go give your info and dont forget the picture!
Did any of you Tennesee MkIII boys(with a light blue) happen to race a red bug-eyed WRX a few weeks ago? Not sure of the highway, but he was headed back to Clarksville, from Nashville. Said he did three pulls...first one side by side, and he pulled a nose on the Supra, second one, Supra slight edge, then the last he said he thinks the Supra driver turned up the boost:icon_razz cause' he walked away from the little Rex pretty bad!!! Said the Supra sounded like it had a DDP.
I had to smile, I love beating down Subies too! My son was the Suby driver, he's stationed at Ft.Campbell.
SUPRA POWER!!!:naughty:

LOL Dunno about bug-eyed, but I've had my fun with a few Scooby Do's. With Open DP it makes people either want to race me or completely hit the next exit or take the next right or left.:biglaugh:
Hehe, nice. Well, I'm down for the dragon. My own dragon should be running in the next 3 weeks, plus a nice suspension set-up (courtesy of money back from taxes lol)
