The Supra Turbo market can't really be this insane?

weird, the way it was described back then was that it replaced 2 different parts of the ecu and allowed timing/fuel and rev limit upgrades

gforce ecu's offered higher rev limit than stock, with several choices available. Some had modified fuel maps, some didn't. You could also get modified timing maps; mine came with some extra "chips" or whatever those little thingies are, for different rev limit and timing.

Always loved the supra, even when it first came out.

Does anyone still use Gforce?

I saw a supra going down marsh ln the other day and for the first time in my life i thought they looked dated

From my limited research the answer is no. They were associated with a company called techtom in Japan.

it leaned the car out a little and bumped a little timing.. but it was a preset map.. the VPC/GCC combo allowed you to fine tune it.

yup.. but it was basically a $1k rev limiter because the timing maps and Fuel maps were useless on anything above a stockish car.

BPU and above you needed a some sort of external adjustable fuel management.

that'd be the car. had circuit city over by Irving mall put speakers in it back in the day. you might have also seen the red one if we dropped the silver one off.

Si, but I liked the silver one i remember crawling around the shop floor admiring the exhaust on that thing.

Man those were the days...lol

I know where a silver t tops black leather manual supra with less than 20k miles on it is. It looks like brand new, and she hasnt drove it in over 10 years. Been in her garage since.

100.00 and I will give you the ladies number, she lives in rockwall

can only imagine her asking price

wtf do you know about Supras?

okay, that makes sense then. i just read up on the the vpc and gcc and it seems that is what those are for. but the timing was still done through the ecu.

sorry, didn't see this one, makes sense now. i was in the 8th grade so i wasn't the 5.85 tuner yet.

crazy small world! did you actually put the speakers in that car?

and like i said.. the timing gave you nothing....
my car lost 40 rwhp with a G-force ECU on race gas and 20#.. put the stocker back in.. Boom power is back.. it worked great on a 100% stock car... beyond that it was junk besides the limiter .

ah, that sucks. but i think the 2jz tuning was still in it's relative infancy back then so i'm sure my dad thought it was going to make it faster.
