Anyone running an '82 Supra with a turbo? What have you done for your ignition system? Is the vacuum advance fine with the turbo, or is there something that needs to be done/purchased to make it work properly?

I ran my 82 5mgte w/ stock ignition and timing setup. Worked fine.

how much boost? what did you do to your to your fuel system? An did you retard timing at all, or leave it at the stock 8*? Thanks for your help.

only thing i did was add an rrfpr set to 56psi. stock timing and stock boost (~6psi). I know it didn't like 14psi, cause thats when it blew up

Hmmm. Still, I wonder if I should get an aftermarket boost retard ignition control. MSD made one, IIRC.........just thinking out loud.

If you mean the BTM, I don;t think MSD makes JUST the BTM alone anymore. You may have to buy a full 6 series ignition to get it now, unless you find one on ebay like I did.

I would look seriously at the Jacobs Ignition tho. After talking to Mike Lewitz, and doing some independant research, I think I would go with that if I hadn;t already spent the money
