So I'm gonna be Boosted soon!

There are more na-t's than I can even begin to count running on stock fuel and timing while tuning with nothing but an safc. They are everywhere and running just fine.

As for Wayne just using the safc and meth, he knows what he's doing. He ran on the single without the meth for monthes without any problems and then added the meth for a little more power and a little more boost. All the meth is doing for him is allowing him to run 21psi instead of 17psi. This is his 5th supra and he has never run a full EM system and has never had a problem with any of them.

A full EM system would be good if I was running higher boost or whatnot, but it's certaintly not necessary, just handy to have. I would love to have one, but over a grand for fuel management on a 300whp car is more than I'm willing or able to spend right now. I don't consider an safc to be 'cutting corners.' No tuning at all would be cutting corners (some guys have done that without good results), safc and a wideband is a way of tuning that doesn't cost more than the kit itself.

I know the 2JZ is the Jap's answer to the Ellis Juan (God's motor), but if what you say is true that's pretty impressive. I mean, even the majority of the IS300 guys who are boosting their 2JZs are using Greddy E-manage or MOTEC or something similar. I'm sure the fuel systems between the Altezza and the Supra are pretty different though.

If you can get away with it and it's tried, tested and true that's fantastic, that will save you quite a bit of cash. If it was me personally? I'd look into SOME kind of EM or possibly even a TT Supra ECU swap if such a thing can be done. It would go a long way toward getting the most out of your investment... especially since this is your daily driver no? Hell, even my old WRX was only 285whp and it was running on a piggyback EM.

And I still think Wayne needs to get his head checked With that much power and that much modification to his power, I still can't believe he's fine with skimping on engine management. For someone who claims to run 10s and then tells me that "Oh I just add more fuel and turn up the boost when I want to go faster" at the car show, I'm definitely surprised that his car is still together. I still give that to the combination of a great motor and the safety margin that the meth is giving him :wink:
