I like the comment that someone thinks its a poorly designed roll bar

This build is so absolutely beyond ridiculous. There is no other 86 built as proper as this one. All my respects.

thanks, its been a labor of love. I can see the start up line now. I don't want to call it the finish because they are never done.

I should up date that just about the entire setup is off the car. Bunch of parts are off to powder coat. I also wanted to drive the car a bit since its been sitting for so long. Get some fresh gas in the tank, charge up the battery.

I decided to hold off on the ceramic coating for at least a little bit just because Im curious and want to be able to see a before and after.

My area has slim picking for tuners so I signed up for some up coming EFI University classes. I'm going for the basic and advanced classes.

Will I finish these classes and be able to tune my car? I'll let you know what I finish, haha

What about Alex at Granite State Dyno? He is the only tuner i'll let touch my Supra.

Let us know what you think about those EFI classes, i almost signed up for one last year.

The efi101 stuff is great to learn the why, but not the how. It's important to learn all the math behind it and how it all works but don't expect to come out of it and start tuning a car. These cars gave some unique caveats in tuning that other cars don't have. Even some experienced tuners have a hard time with these. The build looks great, btw! It should make some good power for sure!

I don't expect to walk out a guru, just looking for some place to start I guess. All the books I have read about tuning are that same way, why but not how. I don't think its something that can really be put down in a 1,2,3. Everyone is going to do it a bit differently but all arrive at the same end goal.

If someone has a good understanding of why the how is not bad to teach. Every ecu/software is different though so that's where the difficulty comes in. Most people are not willing to teach the how on all the various software available. The ecutek tuning guide will get you started though for sure.

yomny · 03-24-2014, 04:23 PM

I'm sure the best tuners out there started somewhere. I would enjoy sitting in one of those universities. Best of luck and keep posting(to the op).

@Revolutions Performance is this Ecutek guide something I can see before purchasing the software?

Damn, you have been busy! Freaking phenomenal work. Makes me feel like I need a testosterone shot or pick up knitting instead. I really like how you routed the recirculation. Keep it up!
