    To all baldies

    I got this as I have more hair growing out my ears then on my head https://www.mymemory.co.uk/babyliss-10-in-1-titanium-grooming-system-for-men.html?utm_source=google_shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6KrtBRDLARIsAKzvQIGTKCRrT3adYDtj0wUuOYjtdvVBN5fT669SNn4C-po1rbf135D5XtgaAj3JEALw_wcB
  10. Have you checked the injector response time as that can make your afr's wonder if they are not spot on
  11. check the 02 sensor before buying one its a very easy test http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?35940-Narrowband-O2-Sensor yes the smell of fuel would come from that pipe from the canister
  12. When the o2 sensors go bad you use more fuel their is a thread on how to check with a meter .But if you can smell fuel under the bonnet then. What I would do is prime the engine so fuel pump is running then look for a leak . Or even give the fuel pump a feed in the diagnostic port . Think its fp - bp not 100% on the battery positive without looking please search to confirm. Then you will be able to check for leaks easily.
  13. I can see why they want to know though, you could just say it had a gte engine and have a claim up
  14. what problems are you having with the ultimate ? is there a forum for the ecu ? I know that my piggy had a mapping problem that 3 well know mappers did not fix but took me a couple of hours research on the aem forum to find the issue cause and resolve it with a firmware upgrade for fuel strategy.
  15. I have a fic 8 which is a simple piggy back the only issue I have is if the car is left for half hour to a hour and had time to cool after a run upto temp it sometimes coughs and splutters on the first start attempt and then start straight up next time. I could correct this by adjusting my map but its not that much of a problem.
  16. From what I have seen the link plug in does not support the auto box.said it does in title but reading spec didn't might have been a typo though. OP I have heard the aem v2 destroys boxes as it does have a soft gear change capabilities this was some time ago they may have updated the software best to check on the aem forum. I hear alot of problems getting the autobox to run right with the standalones also best would be to go with one that's been fitted and proven many times so the issues in mapping can be ironed out. But I'm a single auto running a piggy it's easy just to let the piggy control the engine and stock control.the box will save you a alot of cash and grief - - - Updated - - - From what I have seen the link plug in does not support the auto box.said it does in title but reading spec didn't might have been a typo though.

  17. uk turbos are actually smaller then the jspec but handle more boost due to being steal mid to late 500 on stock turbos is quite a ask and they normally have to be put in TTC which makes it laggy as hell , and is not worth the power gain in a auto as the TC stall point is 2000rpm and the turbos in TTC come on around 4000rpm will you have more power yes will your car be faster defiantly not , drag racing a full bpu in sequential auto with around 410bhp was beating mine and other single turbos with 500-600bhp and the single turbos spool faster then the TTC stockers . I have had my auto stock , bpu , stage 3 hybrids , single turbo 524bhp. and if im honest I liked it best when full bpu for day to day driving as a weekend toy it is now single is good fun but still left standing until spooled up which I don't like too much on the street as your doing speeding ticket speeds by then. lots of factors to think about its not just power its putting that power to the ground and how that power comes on

    Hello

    welcome to the club do you have a supra yet?
  20. Are you making sure that you have turnt the crank so the slack is at the tensioner side and then pulled the pin on the tensioner
  21. it gives you a fault of 2 failing because iirc they are linked diagonally across the car so front right is also linked to back left ect.
