Thanks for the "props!" . The car is now FINALLY driveable . I drove it back from Dynosaur today. The stock oem clutch is slipping, so they could not tune it to more than 200rwhp. When I get the "rps MAX" clutch kit installed (hopefully Wednesday), the car is scheduled to go back (eventually ) so they can finish the tune. I'm also working on a HUGE How-To NA-T guide for "newbies." I'm going to include all the typical mistakes most people make when doing this project for the first time. It will have video and many pictures from my project. I want to make sure no one else makes the same mistakes I did . For Example:


* When replacing the NA pump with a supra TT fuel pump, you MUST bypass the main fuel relay switch, thereby providing a constant 12 volt voltage to the pump. Dinosaur performance discovered this problem since the car would not get proper fuel when the throttle was applied more than a "little bit." The symptom was the engine would shut off when you pressed the throttle more than a little. Giving the fuel pump a constant voltage fixed it . For more info, look here:

Nice IC pipes. Clean welds. I like.
Hope you get your clutch done soon and can fully enjoy the final product.

Cheers,

DId you rewire the pump? Several people have gotten better power out of the Fuel Pump with a relayed wire from the battery.

Running a thicker wire directly off the battery to the fuel pump

well, not exactly. but running a 10 ga. from the battery to a 30 amp relay that is switched on by the fuel pump signal. basically giving it good clear 12v signal all the time.

Clutch is done as of today, but I cannot enjoy the final product since the tuner does not have time to finish the tune until thursday or friday of next week apparently . Car is eating gas like crazy...about 100 miles to one tank of fuel! It also bogs and stutters..not very driveable. It has very bad hot-start issues where it won't starts ...The problem is I need the car driveable asap since it's my only car .
