FUEL
TUNING Q:
I raised my boost pressure, now the car stops and shakes when I get the
boost going faster A:
You have found fuel cut.
Fuel will stop being pumped into the engine if the Toyota ECU detects 12
psi on ST165/ST185, and 17 psi on ST185RC/ST205
models. The Toyota ECU is set to activate fuel cut if it detects 4.4
volts from the Turbo pressure sensor.
The Turbo Pressure Sensor is reading boost from your intake manifold and
puts out 4.4 volts (roughtly) at
a certain boost level. First, if you haven't purchased/installed a
boost gauge, please do so. This is vital to
the tuning you are about to do. Second, to disable fuel cut we just
have to stop the computer from seeing 4.4
volts under any conditions. Go the MODS
section to find out how. Q:
I want to install a Supra TT fuel pump, is it hard? A:
No, it bolts right in.
If you can replace your fuel pump, then you can certainly install a Supra
TT. Being
that it's a Toyota piece, it bolts right in. Here are some pics.

Can I put in a Supra Fuel Pressure Regulator for high performance? A:
It may be possible, but the 2 are completely different in size and
mounting. Alot of
custom work would be required, for little or no gain. If you are
daring enough here
are the numbers:

of popular upgrade fuel pumps are at 14v, not 12v.
