Since I didn't want to mess with such a low mileage car but putting in a stand alone, this popped up for sale on a Starion forum. Pretty sure this is older than half of IA's demograph right now. :boobies:

haha - I'm actually going to be hunting down an old HKS turbo timer and maybe a boost controller as well from ebay.

They were made from somewhere in the 80s up till around 95 or 96 and then Advan came out with these.

The Super Advans came out around 94-95.

I think the only other wheel older than your Advans were the A3A model.

To the car, that is high tech!

It is! Look at it this way, it's old enough that it quite literally plugs into the ECU where the harness would, and then the engine harness plugs into the FCON.

I heard someone compare the ECU ( if it can be called that) from a starquest to an Atari once, can't thing of more fitting comparison.

Yup. Awhile back ( about 5 years back ) I was working with a guy out in Texas on decoding the ecu, and we managed to get a hexadecimal data dump of the fuel mappings. Our theory was that since the 88/89 ECU's had a sister board on them, that we could maybe do ROM burning for mappings. Never really went much farther past that dump though :(

whats sad is Greddy and HKS made some of the highest quality aftermarket parts but most guys didn't want to pay for high quality I.E. HKS F-CON PRO, Greddy T-88h turbo kit, , Greddy Profec B, HKS dragger 2jz, Greddy 4 row MKIV. I considered these the behemoths of the import aftermarket. Carry on....

Sounds similar to what a lot of the FC guys do, I can remember th company name now though.
