So I drove my friends 3ZVE-powered 4Runner the other day and I thought to myself "wow, this thing is nice". Laugh if you like, but I don't know what you guys are complaining about.

I've decided I want more power and the biggest gain/dollar/mpg seems to be a ('79?-)'82 Supra AFM. As far as I can tell, Supras didn't sell well in Canada, as I very seldom see them even in a city of 3M people. I'm sure I can find a junker Supra with an AFM, but getting a '82 may be a problem.

My question is, what is involved in swapping the internals of the AFM from my 22RE AFM into the '82 Supra AFM (because the '82 AFMs are so damned expensive up here)? Or, has anyone got any leads on a '82 Supra parts car in the North West (ideally Vancouver, Canada)?

Ive been wanting to do the same thing, i havent looked to hard here in calgary to find one but im sure we'll find one.. maybe ebay?

pretty sure that one is a plug and play model.

I know the '82 is plug and play, but I don't think I will find an '82 here. I do however, have a working AFM on my current 22RE, so I'd like to transplant in the electronics from the 22RE AFM into the larger Supra AFM. I don't know how to do this though, and I'm wondering who's done this before.

ooooohhh, ok. Hmmmm, interesting idea. Damn, I want to say that I read a post around here about somebody transplanting afm boards into another afm body...I wonder if the -RE circut board would work with a "bigger" vane?

Matt16

I intend on finding out!

Sweet!! I'd tried looking for that elusive '82 supra too and haven't had much success. I did try a free "country" wide search and it came back with two hits, but I didn't follow up on it 'cause it sounded kinda hokey.

82's are a weird bird for supras, lower compression vac advance dizzys and alot of other weird stuff in that one year. i have a an afm for an 83 if that would help you?

funny you asked...

i just soldered my AFM today, and its pretty simple as long as you got 2 sets of hands.

there are 6 probes, 3 connectors, 3 solids to a Yota, i got some internal pics if ya need em.

I have never seen a supra AFM, but you can take pieces of thin copper and bend em / solder them to make the connections fit. I did that and my car runs fine afterwards.

I have an 82 supra afm sitting in a box in my garage.


And no you guys can't have it.

874runnersr5

where do you live annoyinggrob



do you know of anyone parting out a supra in calgary?
or where i can get a afm?

SpecialScottie

How dare you taunt us all

annoyingrob

I know a guy who MIGHT have another one. Alternatively, you can take the electronics from a 22R AFM, and put them in a later 5M AFM.

874runnersr5

hmmm, get back to me on that one!

how much you think he'd sell it for?

bigt

i soldered my 22re afm so that it would work again.. looks like tin foil in there.. luckily im great with electronics!

Sooo, really, if one couldn't find the plug-n-play '82 afm you can swap guts with a later supra afm? It really works? I wonder if there is a writeup for that around here somewhere...

874runnersr5

No doubt it, youll be the first!

i have a spare afm laying around, i wonder if i should og look for a supra afm

Matt16

Sweeeeeaaaaaaaaaaat- an AFM for a carbed motor!!!!!!

You can also use an AFM from a 5M-GE engine, the part numbers on mine are 22250-43110 and 197100-3020.

Junkers88

Indeed. Just make sure that the parts numbers match, all the AFM's from 5Mge's are not the same.
