Good choice! They are the bollocks. I was going to point you in the direction of the group buy thread that Jake sorted out a while back as it had the part nos on, but it's disappeared in the For Sale reshuffle by the looks of it.

Hmmm, strange. That's definitely a facelift exterior, with the facelift wings, lights, bumper and I can't believe anyone would go to the trouble of replacing all those on a non facelift car. Easiest explanation would be that someone has mixed the photos up. Is the interior pic definitely of the same car? Btw, the window between facelift and VVTi is actually quite big. The facelift was May 95, and the VVTi appeared in September 97. Mine's a facelift non VVTi.

Nope, definitely wrong! You should get negative boost while at idle and positive while the turbos are producing boost. How it's been installed so it only works on lift off I don't know! It should be plumbed in to one of the hoses on the intake side, see http://www.mkiv.com technical articles for a fitting guide.

Very nice, looks just like mine did before I found this place and started down the slippery slope that is mods!

Yes, that sounds like plugs. You want some Denso Ik24s or equivalent. Oh, welcome btw! Very brave admitting the BMW thing...

Top it up anyway, even though it looks ok. What happens is it sloshes about and triggers the fluid low warning.

Best place for Emanage stuff is the Yahoo groups. There's one for Supras only and a general one. The general one has quite a few files and bits and bobs on including that map of Mohds. Supra Emanage group General Emanage group

You're welcome. Might have to use that quote in my sig or something . For my next installment in the occasional series "Old git harware mods", How To Turn Your Zimmer Frame Into A Roll Cage...

Having thought about this some more I'm not convinced any more that the scaling thing is the "wrong" thing to use, I'm fairly sure it doesn't work as the PM you sent suggests. I think it might be more down to which method you prefer and how easy it is to see what changes you've made. A style thing if you like. So I'm not convinced that just because they used that feature the map would automatically be crap. I'll save it for the tech section though! It's clearly going to need tweaking though whichever way you use and it is this which appears to have not been done satisfactorily. Plus of course it's bad to leave a customer pissed off regardless. From what I have read I would question the customer service side more than the technical side. Anyway, hope you get it sorted CJ.

Don't see why you shouldn't post it up in technical CJ, there's nothing in there that names the tuners involved or takes the piss or anything...

Oh, you are so in trouble from the female Supra owners on here. Think I'll just hang around and watch the fun...

No, unless it's leaking, which is unlikely. There's not much point in having it if you have another one in another place though, so you might as well. They will both be dumping when you lift off.

Thanks mate, very interesting. Must admit I'd have expected it to scale everything back correctly but when you think about it it's not going to.

Does someone want to elaborate on this? AFAIK if you have bigger injectors or more fuel pressure on the Emanage you use the global injector size thingy to scale the fueling back to normal, and then add fuel where you need it using the additional injector map. What's the problem with doing this? All it does is scale the fuel back across the whole range.

The auto vs manual debate is one of the classics on here, along with the Jspec vs UK. There is no way that an auto would beat a manual round a track though, given a decent driver of both. You simply don't have the same control over the weight transfer when cornering, or the same flexibility with gear ratios, the extra transmission losses of the auto would be felt too. On the 1/4 mile a perfectly driven manual would also beat an auto, but it's much harder to achieve, which is why autos tend to beat manuals because you can do a good time consistantly.

I see you're already using the good old "bolt in rubber hose" technique! I was after some vac caps when I fitted my boost controller recently, but I couldn't find anywhere that sold them so I resorted to the bolt technique too! Quite a few other people said they'd done the same. The other thing you could use sounds a bit bizzare, but in B&Q they sell rubber bits for the end of walking sticks. I bocked one of my BOV hose outlets with one of those, fitted a treat with a hose clamp round it. *Waits for inevitable walking stick old codger jokes*

Don't know anything much about nitrous, but as far as the Emanage goes, the main unit can only hold one setup. You could download a different one from a laptop as needed but that's not really practical, or if you have the E01 or Profec E01 you can store several setups on the SD card and download them to the Emanage as needed. You'd have to do it manually though, there's no way of doing it automatically when you flick a switch or anything. You'd need a standalone for that.

1.MrAngry 2.Laz 3.SimonB Might be worth posting a link to this in General Discussion, I only just spotted the fact I needed to put my name down...

You don't necessarily need to upgrade injectors, although that is the best option. You can just get an adjustable fuel pressure reg and up the fuel pressure a bit to get the same effect, which is cheaper. I love my Profec E01, it's a very nice bit of kit, and it's nice to be able to monitor what's going on in the car without having to hook a laptop up. It was a simple choice for me because I don't have a laptop! When I finally get round to sorting my wideband out I will be able to monitor in realtime and log 3 hours worth of air/fuel ratio, boost, exhaust gas temp (I have a Greddy EGT gauge), revs, speed, injector duty cycle and throttle%. Great if you like gadgets! As Jake said, the car certainly feels faster because you basically get max boost from the moment the 2nd turbo comes online rather than having it build up gradually to max. The screen is pretty big and hard to find a place for. I have mine on a mount that's designed for a mobile phone, it sticks out to the left of the fan speed dial.

The thing that is out of tolerance now is the castor, which they don't normally change unless you asked specially. I think it's a pain to change so it looks like they haven't bothered.

The Sparco harness bar is the thing I've got in mine to attach the shoulder harnesses too DB, you've seen it. There's something on Supraforums about it stiffening up aerotops - apparently you can have the harness bar or the floor brace but not both because they both attach at the bottom seat belt mount point.

Exactly the same here, they just kept rebalancing the fronts. Could be a knackered rear wheel bearing too, they seem to be a bit of a weak point on the Supra.

Oh, in that case I don't have that!

You just had to find a picture with a dog in it didn't you? LOL!
