[Supras] Installing a Super Monitor on a '90 turbo

[Hacker J]

I have done it.  I got a harness plug from an 87 and wired it into the dash. Its lots of work,
including running wires to the old clock plug, cluster, ECU, and ECT computers. I have a set of
charts in pdf format that details the install if anyone wants it.

By the way, if you change injectors, the calculations will be off, and for that matter, there are
two SM computers, one for the GE and one for the GTE.
