Re: Laser's $100 Project Thread

Yeah, but it was pretty stiff before I put the bigger tool to use.

Re: Laser's $100 Project Thread

I ended up replacing the coilpack last night and it helped, but its still not liking anything above 13 psi. When I get some more money in the fund from selling off stock parts I plan to get an AFC so maybe that will help.

Re: Laser's $100 Project Thread

178 whp and 184 wtq at only 12 psi! As soon as I get a S-AFC I'll be able to richen it up (it was running an A/F ratio around 14:1), up the boost, and hopefully see even more power.

Shane at DB was also nice enough to give me a Supra sidemount intercooler with custom metal endtanks so that should also yield a nice gain!

I'd like to eventually, but we'll see what the budget looks like and what kind of hacking/fabbing its going to take to get the stock IC pipes hooked up to the SSMIC.

NGK BPR7ES gapped at .026". Once I get all the issues sorted out I plan to widen the gap to .030". again.

Re: Laser's $100 Project Thread

Are you going to sell the 2nd set for over $50 to help pay for the SAFC?

Re: Laser's $100 Project Thread

Anyone have extra stock 1G and 2G IC piping laying around? I'm going to need to piece something together in order for this Supra SMIC to work. Maybe I should have some cheap metal pipes fabbed up... Mark? JET? Who wants beer/pizza?!?!

Check your facts son. The 6ES's are stock 1G DSM plugs, lightly modded DSM's should step one heat range cooler to the 7ES's.

I have some stock pipes/hose laying around you could have. Maybe even some 2.5" mandrel bends I would donate to the cause.
