An AEM is the ecu for supra's most commonly used in the US , i have one its great. Contact Thor racing , i think it sells for £900 + £390 for tunning . i might be wrong the on the price , i think its cheaper. Scrap the HKS , because tunning will cost you an arm and leg . Talk to pete at Thor he will sort you out . Use the T88 first then make your mind up. A new turbo and retro kit will set you back about £900.

 

There s a guy on the board with a T88 for sale , i think its yurgon imports ?? he sells good cars not crap , i have seen it and looks good , just needs a good wash .

I thought Thor had washed their hands of AEM due to a lack of support?

what an aem? and how much.... fitted by who?....thanks

hmm, right seeing as this is your first supra and big power car, maybe u should set ur sights a little lower than a 700bhp monster?

prob better off to get a nice sorted twin setup with 400?or a smallish single with 450-550bhp? get to know them a little better first, what ya think dude??

If the weather is OK this weekend I will take you out in mine and that should give you a better idea as to what the power is like. Oh and mine is only a small T71 :p

Well I can vouch for CJ's car having been in it when he was running his T67 last year. Awesome!

We need better weather my friend. Anything other than bone dry and the rears spin like crazy at all speeds.
