I can discuss anything over a glass of nice french wine on the other side of the Chunnel. I ll try my best to come to France but it is still not 100%. Cuba

This sounds very interesting and it actaully looks as I could make this one. I ll le tyou know closer to the date if I can make it. Cuba

Most comments I heard was that its safe on stock fueling up to 18PSi which is 1.24 BAR. I have mine set to 1.22 BAR, but I did hit 1.28 BAR twice. (its a bleeder valve so dependend on the outside temp and pressure) Cuba

With a car like Supra you need a mech that really know the car. I was really worried last Saturday that I blew my turbo as I had this horrible whininhg noise on acceleration. I took the car over to Toyota for a check. They had it on the ramp for 20 minutes with two engineers checking things over. They could not establish the fault. I posted one question on this forum, about 10 minutes later I had a reply. About 15 minutes later I found a small vaccum pipe on the EGR sensor cracked. Replaced that with the new one. The car is running sweet!! It feels like someone had just given me a new trubo or lots of ££££. Stick with the guys on here. You will always get a lot of help. Cuba

Do you have a Boost Cut Controler? If you just use the Boost controler or you have de cat, then your pressure will go up. If you go over 1 BAR you will hit the fuel cut. Welcome to the bbs. Cuba

I looked at my EGR hose, the one coming to the sensor. I squeezed it a couple of times and I heard it crack!! I took it off the car and it looked like it was split before and when I squeezed it it just got bigger. I had some spare hose so I put it on. I made sure it was tight and went for a short test drive. Just drove locally so didnt want to boot it too much but the guage showed 1.07 Bar and no strange sounds at ALL! I guess the real test will be when I take it on the Motorway tomorrow but its seems ok now. I hope its sorted as I was really hating the idea of paying a few £££'s for a new turbo. I ll let you know how I got on. Bobbeh, I m from Poland, but I live near East Grinstead, W. Sussex. I m sure we will catch up next time. Good to see you, any way. Cuba

On my way back from Bolney today I noticed a strange sound on acceleration. I got really concerned, as I thought that it was a death whine but it is comming from the left side of the engine bay and the turbos are on the right. I took the car over to Toyota and they said they couldnt tell what was wrong. The noise is most apparent on acceleration but I also get it when idle and just reving the engine. My boost guage still shows 1.15 Bar and the car feels as strong as it was. I am really worried. I listened to the Death Whine from the MKIV page and its not like that. I can hear it coming from the vicinity of the EGR sensor and somewhere behind the throttle body. Any ideas? I was going to go to Santa Pod tomorrow. All help very much appreciated. Regards Cuba PS. BTW, it was nice to meet you all at Bolney today.

I think the TRL FCD is good up to 1.25 BAR so if you have a bleeder valve and not an electronic boos controller you may actually be hitting 1.25 and the boost would cut out. Do you have a boost gauge? Cuba

Thanks Pete, I will give it another shot. I just got really confused whem the colours did not match as well as the numbers. I will go with your info then. I know its know difficult but I m doing it first time and thought that if I cut the wrong wires I'd be in trouble. Thanks again. I ll let you know how I got on! Cuba

silly me!! I thought I mentioned that. The car is 1994 Twin Turbo Automatic Typical European Spec VIN Number is: JT164JA8000012370 The main difference in the ECU, in my opinion is that on your diagram it shows the numbers 1-40, 1-70 etc I only get 1-40 on each plug. I dont know if you get what I m trying to say. If I remember right, I should cut a blue wire which is in position 67 or somthing like that. The only alll blue wire I have is in the middle plug on position I think 8. I ll try to take some pics of the connectors when i get the chance. Or maybe you could mail me all of your diagrams for a Supra and then i ll be able to work out which one looks like mine. Would that work? Anyway, Thank you for your help. Happy Easter Cuba

I was surley looking at the right one. I followed the instructions from the mkiv.com. It doesnt match up at all. It says exactly that on the ECU: 2JZ-GT A/T ENGINE CONTROL TOYOTA 89661-14538 What do you reckon Pete? Cuba

Your help needed again. I was going to fit my TRL VFCC today. I looked into the ECU and the diagram provided by TRL doesn't match up with my car. I take it that TRL diagram is for the 2JZ-GTE and my ECU is 2JZ-GT. Dont really know what the difference is but all I know is that the connections on the harness have all different numbers. Does any one have the diagram for my engine ECU? I guess it may be one of the differences between the European and the UK car. Hope you can help. Cuba

Is it a good idea to lower my car with just the springs or should I really be looking to get some proper susspension? I looked on the Suprastore and they have some Eibach springs. Are those any good? And itf not what could you recommend? I m just thinking of lowering and stiffening a car a bit, nothing crazy. Thanks Cuba

1) John Branigan mkiv 2) Leon Green mkiv 3) Mark Ayling mkiv Veilside (passenger ) - cram it biatch 4) Paul Townsend mkiv 5) Bobbeh (MKIV or RX7) 6) Pat Devlin mkiv 7) Rav (MKIV and mate in RX7) 8) Kubus1(Cuba) MKIV

Guys, Great to have met you all, First time at Pod and there we go: 60ft @ 2.197 TC OFF 1/4 mile @ 13.28 @ 108.2 miles I m getting into it now, have to get better next itme Cuba

Convinced! I finish work at 7AM. Where is South Mimms? What juntion? I ll be coming from Gatiwck Airport. Cheers Cuba

Hi guys, I could come but I m basicly worried that I will look stupid there. I can see that all of you have done it before and your cars are well tuned. I have a MKIV TT with just basic mods, will I look stupid there or do you get more cars like mine? Cheers Cuba

I started fitting the VFCC this morning and I gave up. I think I could do it but I believe that if I cut the wrong wires its all gonna go very wrong. Is there any one out there who can fit VFCC to a Supra. I know lot of you have it done. Hope you can direct me to the right person. Thanks, Cuba

Hi, Welcome to The BBS Congrats, I bet you ll be pleased. One down side of owning the MKIV TT is the damagae to your wallet once you start modifying your car. Apart from that, go out there and enjoy your dream I m sure we will hear from you soon. Hopefuly only good stories. Cheers Cuba

Thorin, Great info. Anything else I should know?? Cuba

Ashley, I found this on torque converters. http://www.converter.com/faqs.htm I have to admit, its all to technical. Maybe you can make out more of that. Cuba

Mark, Its just for normal street driving and when you sometimes get the urge to blast off the treffic lights. Where can I find more info on the torque convertors? Thanks Cuba
