Removal of the Trac Pump & Trac Actuator 

Removal of the
Trac Pump & Trac Actuator on 93-96 TT

 

Parts Needed:

– Toyota Brake line #47321-14280 (~$15-20).
this lines comes from the NA supra.
– 2x 10K ohm Resistors, 1/2 watt (radio shack, ~$1)
– One very short screw (cut it) &Teflon tape, 10mm x 1.0 pitch (Ace hardware,
~$1-2)

or get a brake line fitting and tap a screw in
its center.
– 
Two rubber caps,  5/16″  &  3/8″, 2
clamps.
– Brake fluid & bleeding tools.

Time:
~3 hours

Tools needed: 
Pliers, 10, 12, 14mm Socket &
wrenches,
flat tip screwdriver, and rubber hose with hose clamp.

 

I want be clear, we did not do all that work to save 22 pounds, that work
was done clean up the look under the hood and make space where other parts
are just taking up space and not used anymore, like the trac pump…Also
makes it easy to reach the oil filter from the top..we also installed on EGR
block off plates, balance injectors, coated intake manifold..

***Here is how to do the trac pump removal mod in short,(93-96tt only!)

1) pick up needed parts as listed in this link

http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/no_trac/

2) unbolt the trac pump and trac actuator, I was able to remove all the
parts without removing the brake master….plug the two ports on the brake
master with rubber caps & clips. install 2 resistors as shown in link above
in the harness…flush any brake line fluid with water right away if it
comes in contact with the paint!

3) you will have 2 lines left hanging across the firewall, a thick & a thin
line, chop up the thick line tell you get to the abs side, plug the end of
the thick line with a short screw and Teflon…

4) next chop up the thin line(remember its route carefully before you remove
it), get the new brake line and route it in place of the thin removed line,
this is not a walk in the park(hardest part), you will need to bend the new
line that goes on the driver side to route it behind the other brake lines(a
must), start routing from the passenger side to the driver side along the
firewall, the line should end up on the driver side into the brake
master(don’t screw it in yet), now pull the line a littlie further to the
driver side tell you can get it hooked to the abs on the other side, bend
back the line to its factory shape, tighten both ends…

5) bleed all brakes and check for leaks after test driving the car…

if you motor is out then all this will take you an hour to do…..if you
have a single turbo and no egr it would be easiest, hardest if you got stock
twins and egr in the way(like me)……

drag racing basics 

Drag
Racing Basics


Drag racing is a rush.  It gives you the
feeling of adrenaline, a quench for speed and the taste – smell – and roar of mega
horsepower.  There is nothing like it.  It looks pretty easy right?……right!
 Any monkey can go out and floor it,  but he won’t be consistent nor
competitive.  Drag racing requires lots of concentration and equal amounts of
practice.  It is also one of the few places you can go out and give-er-all-u-got
without ending up in jail, especially with the levels of performance Supras can achieve.
Racing ain’t cheap though.  The problem is the bug…the faster you go…the
faster you’ll want to go.  Speed costs money.  Although, you can achieve certain
levels of  performance for low bucks – like me, there is a limit where it is going to
take some serious cash to go faster.  I tend to always end up just below this level
with my cars.  After all, these cars are my daily drivers too.

Drag Racing Basics:
(Time trials not bracket racing)

1. Pay your entry fee, sign the liability
waiver and pull around into the TECH line.  Here they will check out your car to make
sure you have a PARK starter override (if you have an auto), no loose trim, tight lug nuts
and no wheel caps….this is usually the only thing you have to do; remove these prior to
tech.

2. Once passing tech’s visual check, you need
to pass the safety check:(these vary and I may have missed some)

         
 14’s or slower….no safety equip reqd.

         
 12’s to 13.99……need a helmet SNELL certified.

         
 10’s to 11.99……roll bar, helmet, drive shaft loop.

         
 Faster than this…all the above plus fire system/suit and clean extra pair of
underwear.

      3. Now that you’re
official, have a number on your windows and a grin on  your face..get in the staging
          line(s).  Here you will wait
and pull forward, slowly making your way to the starting line.  Some people push
their cars forward, others drive.  I’ve done both and noticed no difference with my
car’s performance.

    4. You are next!  The
official will wave you and your competitor forward into the staging/burnout area. Wait
until the guys before you take off and then the starter will wave you forward.  With
2-wheel drive and street/treaded tires, pull around the burnout box and back in.
 This keeps all the water off the track and in the box.  So, back you car’s rear
tires into the burn out box and heat-em-up!  Be sure to spin all the water off of
them after the box so you don’t sit and spin at the line.

    5.  Now your heart is
going, palms are sweating and you are ready!  You need to know how the lights work
 to understand the next stage.  There are two yellow lights on the top of the
tree. When the first light comes on it means your front tires have passed the pre-stage
line.  You need to pull forward -slowly- another couple of inches until the
second light down comes on also. At this point – you are staged. Don’t pull forward
or roll backwards…or you’ll look like a dork. Once your competitor has completed his
staging too, the race is soon to begin.  The starter will normally start the
lights about 5 sec after the last person stages…so be ready.  Have your RPM’S
up and ready to shift..autos too.

 

   6.  Here we go…this is the
rush part…the lights will start to flash downwards.  Most street car classes
use  the Sportsman’s tree.  Three amber lights will flash at .5 seconds apart
and then the green will flash.  I  leave right on the last yellow….it takes my
foot that long to let go of the brake and mash the pedal.  This give me reaction
times(r/t) of around .6 – .7 ,   a  .5 is a perfect r/t.

   7.  And they’re off! Watch
your RPM’s and shift around 200RPM past your peak power point.  This keeps
        the revs just under optimum for more power in
the next gear…..don’t forget to shift( I did this once real
        early!)  You will probably only use 1-3 in
both the auto and stick Supras.  Keep it hammered until  you cross past the
finish line.  Now slow down and brake to make the first turnout (watch for your
competition…he doesn’t have those massive brakes you do)  If you don’t make the
first turnout, there will be another 1/4 mile down the track.  If you miss this one,
you’ll end up in Kansas.

8.   Now slowly pull around on the
return track and stop to get your timeslip along the way.  Get back in line and beat
that time!

What a
blast!
