    I need to pick between Maftpro and standalone

    I would consider Megasquirt II. It has everything you want. Just wire up the stock engine plugs for a clean install. I'm going MSII in my 1jz-8T3 supra. It will be FTW with COP sequential fire, and it is JUST as easy to tune as any other standalone, for half the cost. All you need are...

    *MHG Reuse*

    I have reused a HKS gasket twice after the initial install. I blew two engines running lean, whatever :) The engines had NO signs of leaking. They worked flawlessly. However! You NEED to inspect the metal HG you have very, very meticulously. When I took it out the last time and...

    WHICH ENGINE SHOULD I GO WITH?

    Where in Northen AL are they located??? Also, I'd say to just have the 7M you have rebuilt. THat's what I did, and I love it. Brand new engine, Ross pistons, MHG, ARP throughout. It's ready for ANYTHING I can throw at it.

    I gave in...

    The stock driveshaft started vibrating and making we'rd noises in the whole motor/transmission. So I ordered an aluminum one. I've ALWAYS wanted one....... But Ou$h! It started making noises with this new turbo I have partially tuned in. It started to add a lot of drag on the car...

    Power FC questions....

    Megasquirt II FTW!!!!! I don't think the software comes with the commander. You need an optional wire and the software is available on an austrailian site somewhere. I just heard it was crazy expensive, but once it's all done, it's just like any other standalone.

    Can you figure out what's wrong?

    I'll give that a shot. First thing tomorrow. I could have swore that you can leave the vacuum off of it as long as you had a breather on the can somewhere.

    Can you figure out what's wrong?

    Stock pan. Would it cause severe damage?

    Can you figure out what's wrong?

    No suction line to the intake for the Catchcan system, it's where I used just the two holes on the valve covers to the can. The lines I have on the intake pipe are for the ISV and idle I believe. It's just two.

    Can you figure out what's wrong?

    Motor has about 1,500 miles on it. I did have 7qts. of oil but I've heard that it should be fine, but I'm wondering if I could have sloshed it around with the ground crunching, tire ripping, earth rotating reversing torque. My next question is who think's it's the rings?

    Can you figure out what's wrong?

    I have the Catchcan with a filter to breathe. I know it's possible to get too much gas into a car during the rebuild process, but it's been running fine, and seems to be getting better and better, and it has already 1000 miles on it. The car goes below 10.0 on the a/f during WOT's, but then...

    Can you figure out what's wrong?

    Took the car to the track and made a tuning pass. If i set the boost to 20 PSI, I get blowby and my AEM WB goes to 10.0 through the entire 3rd gear pull. Then I feel a loss of power and see smoke behind me. Okay been here done this. I take it to the parking area and inspect the car...

    crazy tuning issues

    Went to the track today, boosted about 20PSI, and then I get blowby? But the AEM wideband says I'm deep in tht 10's for a/f? Blowby caused by too much gas?? I still get 20PSI vac, and there is not smoke at idle. Too much oil in the pan? (7qts, aprox.) I'm stumped.

    14.2 @ 107mph

    So I finally took my built motor to the track, and just one and only pass made I ran a 14.2@ 107mph. This was on about 17 PSI on my new turbo. My 60ft. was 2.4, and I did not launch hard out of the hole at all. This turbo is barely alive at 17PSI. My MAFT is acting up all the time, and I...

    crazy tuning issues

    I'll give this a shot. The problem though, was still present until last night. I usually sink deep into the 10's on my A/F when boost hits in any gear. Last night, for some reason, I think the MAFT started working correctly without me changing it. Now at AUX C it's almost like it's...

    Melted a Piston...

    Just get the bottom end done. The shop I use can do it if you don't need too much machine work for around $500-600 to replace one piston, and all the rings + bearings, rehone, cleaning, etc. A machine shop there could quote you a lower price. All you need is to replace any of the pistons...

    Intercooler upgrade question

    There's a lot of stuff you can search for. Pipe diameter larger is better you want bar and plate You need a BOV. The MHI turbo you have is tough, but w/o a BOV you'd poop it.
