I heard if you replace the down pipe with a good one, it will move up the fuel cut off. I dont get why tho. I dosent make sence to me.

Chuck Digerlando put a low pressure turbo in his SVX years ago. He was in Florida at the time and this site had'nt been conceived yet. If "youse guys" search the archives on the Yahoo SVX site you can find out all about it.
Good Luck.

The archives can't be searched back before March, 2002. I've seen some of his posts (and other people's too) on the NASIOC archive, but none of the posts ever talked about a finished or properly functioning product. I've also tried sendint an email to Chuck, but he has not reponded. His last post here was in July, 2003.

the only way to move fuel cut is to get a FCD, lexas afm, and some better management

I agree with with him!

I got a full 3" stainless steel exaust mounted from turbo back, and I could raise Fuel cut by like .5 psi.

probably becuase you werent getting as bad of boost spike, that will cuase premature f/c . A full exhuast will spool the turbo and keep it boosting higher. Also what kind of boost control are you runnign electric or bally type

Have you ever thought about hte lexus AFM? or i dont know if hte GReddy FCD works for mkiii's. Whats the grind on the 86.5 na cams?

sup..

im gettin the lexus AFm sometime, just bought a bunch of parts so I am kinda outta money at the moment. The NA cam is defiantley different physically, I did not really notice much, but with that small a difference you probably wouldn't. I hear that if you get to around 300-350hp it starts to be worse for the power band

Ahhh Supra guys hijacking a post on the svx site. Well I think the original guy got all his questions answered. I got an HKS EVC boost controller. Yeah I agree probably was a boost spike caused by some back pressure, or extra heat generated by the turbo to force more air into a backpressure. Well I'm pretty sure the Greddy FCD works for the supra, but it wont help without extra fuel. Instead of the lexus AFM I know suprasport is selling knock-offs. Seem to be cheaper.

I finally found a shop in Portland that will do a custom turbo (on an SVX). The guy sounds very knowledgeable, and he's up for the job. I'm hoping to get started sometime in January.

Search the Yahoo SVX Club archives. I think Chuck sold the car and moved.
