You know i think my gauge is reading a little off but i have it set for 19 PSI but it regularly stays around 17 once the boost spike hits and levels out at higher RPM( i think it is reading 2 pounds less then what it is really at, so i may be closer to 20/21). I am only running 370 CC injectors but that will change before my next event. 440's in the gerage fendrs to roll, diffs to swap. i have a few projects ahead of my next event May 16th

Do you have to go with special shocks when your car has TEMS? When I hit a bump its like I have hydraulics installed.

Yes when you have TEMS your suspension is adjustable. If it feels like you have hydro's then your shocks are toast. Springs could be a little old and bouncy too but it is mainly associated to the Dampening of your shocks.

the tems was put there to make the car have a luxury ride...
@triple C, did you opt for the lexus AFM

I can get a bigger throttle body but i am pritty sure i have a MAP sensor not a MAF. i have not upgraded the stock throttle body.

Ok, so what type of shocks do you guys recommend? Standard gas shocks or....?

TripleC 04-30-2010 03:57 PM

If you have tems i say keep it. i liked the way my car drove when i had my illumina II's and Tecikos. it just wasnt drift worthy. I had to much body roll. For the daily this setup was legit

I dont mean to sound repetitive, I would like to keep the TEMS, but I dont know what to do to fix the problem. Do I replace with standard shocks or do I have to find some that work with TEMS? If so where would be a good place to start looking for shocks that work with TEMS? Thanks for your help.

you have to find tems compatable shocks. they just have a top adjusting screw that the TEMS controlers actually twist. Look up TEMS when you search for Supra Shocks. i think the Illumina's are 450 from horsepowerfreaks. Look skip all this junk get some coilovers and be done with it. YOu will end up spending around 700 to get a new(er) setup when you could have spent 200 more and got yourself some coilovers and been happier. tems has 3 settings - Megans 32 ... you make the call

yea ditch the tems if your loking to run your supra to the next level
