I thaught most of the oil contamination was from non magnetic substances? http://www.emergingent.com/magnefine/force_field.htm

Due to space limitations I can only fit something like a Derale 17" rail cooler on top of my intercooler. I think this is a good spot as it will sit right behind the grill & receive maximum airflow without obstructing the intercooler at all.

I plan to install a transmission cooler but cannot decide whether to run it as a standalone or use it in addition to the existing radiator cooling. The only thing that worries me in using the radiator is if it develops a crack, & coolant finds its way inside the transmission fluid its goodbye...

Thank you Ian. The lines are pretty close to the exhaust pipe so will wrap them with some heat insulating tape in that area. Merry Christmas & a very prosperous & safe New year to all.

Is 1 or 2 the fluid entry?

Final tune details?

Torque to 72 & recheck tension after around half a dozen heat cycles. Better still use ARP head studs & you wont have to worry about them coming loose, if installed correctly.

I am running these cams at +3 cam degrees (exhaust) & 0 on the intake. Perform well in the 3.5-6.5k range.

What were the a/f ratios like for the second dyno?

I currently run the Exhaust at +3 cam degrees & Intake at 0 with the crank at TDC, & base timing at 5 degrees BTDC.

So what does it mean when the oil level is showing about an inch above the Full mark when the sump is empty and with 4.4l in it?

I have the BC stage 1 cams, same adjustable gears & found installing the cams at +3 exhaust & leaving the intake at 0 to be a good setting, but every engine is slightly different. To advance the cams you rotate them in a clockwise direction. Dont forget to reset your ignition timing if you...

My two silicone hoses have been on for over a year & still look & feel new. If the hose is the correct size (16mm ID) & fastened with new clamps it will hold just as well, if not better, than the factory item. Because of the 90 degree shape its very unlikely to come loose, compared to a...

I replaced both of my hoses with silicone ones. Notice the broken exhaust stud :3d_frown:

Recently I had a long discussion with a well know performance mechanic about the engine oil I am using. 7MGTE with around 4,000 km following a reconditioned bottom end. Running standard boost through a high flow CT26. I am using 5w30 synthetic oil & have been since around 2k. When I told...

Can anyone think of any negative issues with disconnecting the auto cable, at the throttle body, during chassis dyno runs? With o/d switched off & the cable loosened as far as the thread will allow it still wants to downshift to 2nd at anything under around 90 km/h. Want to check the A/F...

3" turbo back exhaust, self ported head with stock valves, shift kitted auto, stock injectors, no AFM. Just noticed that the IT is showing -77 on the graph. Dont know what affect this would have on the final figure, if any. Will put it on a dyno again in around six weeks (at a different...

After my last tune I checked the base timing and it was set at 5 degrees BTDC. I dont know if this was done as a safety margin or was the result of calibrating the CPS. When the engine is dead cold it idles a bit low & slightly rough until it warms up a bit. From all the info that I have read...

thank you sir:icon_razz

Can someone let me know the Toyota part # for the 7mgte turbo gasket, ie the one b/w the turbo & the manifold, as my aftermarket pos is leaking. thanks
