I did get the "couple of wires". lol. I have done a little wire harness work, but nothing like taking two chopped harnness and putting them back to gether, lol.

Ahh, wow, never considered or seen that. I would defiantly like to see it when it's done!!



I also was considering the MaftPro, it really seem better than other aftermarket AFMs, I think it has 14 fuel curve points, when most others I've seen for the same price only have about 8. Let us all know how it goes with the MaftPro my friend! Good luck!

[n/a 2 turbo]

i did the same thing, i put a turbo on my 88 n/a first of all by the time you can have it running right it costs a bunch of money i still dont have mine running right.. you are going to need bigger injectors 550cc, definetly a hks headgasket and arp bolts, 255 walboro fuel pump, a ecu from a turbo supra the stock ecu cant compinsate trust me, and an afm off a turbo supra along with all the wires, honestly if i knew about all this i would have swaped with a turbo engine i'ts alot cheaper

did you try using an MAF translator? the MAF would more acurately read the incoming air and would even adjust the fuel curve on its own. i would think that if you just slapped a turbo and manifold on, you may encounter fuel cut. so, did you use an MAF translator and a larger MAF?
