    Highest/Safest possible Octane?

    At 300whp (~11psi) you really shouldn't need more then 91 octane. If it is not pinging then higher octane is not going to do much for you except drain your wallet. If you were drag racing with no intercooler and it was 110deg outside it would be a good idea to run race gas. :icon_razz

    boost falloff.....

    50 trim with 10 degree clip, with about 20k miles on the turbo. Makes 370whp at 21 psi and 395 tq. I have a 60 trim i'm going to put on this weekend and once I fix an exhaust issue, it should be over 400whp at a lower boost setting.

    boost falloff.....

    Its not a normal thing and the ct26 has no problem holding 20+psi all the way to redline on my car. That ProfecB II is a pain in the ass to adjust correctly. That is your problem, not the turbo. There is a specific way to adjust it and it will not hold boost until you get it exactly right. I...

    Cause they look booty and they are always a pita to take off and put back on! :icon_razz

    upgrading coils

    It would be cheaper and cleaner then stock, and with high quality aftermarket coils, maybe higher output then stock. IJ's setup is the hot ticket, but it costs a few more bucks.

    upgrading coils

    Actually that was me, but the problem turned out to be a boost leak and poor engine grounds. Now im running 18-25 psi all the way to redline with no missing or power loss.

    1jz coils on a 7m, here's the wiring diagram

    Oh, and I got an adjustable 12-24vdc 60w dc to dc power supply to up the voltage to the coils but at redline the coils can draw over 7 amps! That is 105watts at 15 volts! I only got a 60w unit so I didn't even try it yet.

    1jz coils on a 7m, here's the wiring diagram

    Thanks! I went with that IC because it can source up to 500ma! TTL or CMOS ic's would probably not be up to the task. Basically you are just taking the output from the ecu and making two outputs without loading down the outputs of the ecu with two ignitors in parallel. This is the only high...

    upgrading coils

    The 1j/2j coils are good to well over 7200rpm and can sustain lots of horsepower but will not work with a single 7m-gte ignitor.

    1jz coils on a 7m, here's the wiring diagram

    Well I have lots of trouble free miles on this setup now. The miss I mentioned early on turned out to be a combination of a hard to find boost leak and some old crappy engine ground cables. Now I have run 25psi with no hint of any ignition issues. It's set at 18psi daily and it spends more time...

    upgrading coils

    Those should work just fine. The resistance is close to the stock coilpack so the ignitor probably will not have any problem with it. You try it, and if causes a ignitor failure, I will send you a replacement ignitor for free. I wanted to try out something similar but I did the 1j coil thing...

    How Big can we go?

    Im running a 275/40/17 Nitto 555r drag radial on a 17x10 wheel with +35 offset. It hooks up great and has performed very well on the street, I got a lot of miles on them. I think at least 15k miles.

    what did u eat today?

    My favorites are Thai, Chinese and Mexican. TOGO's is pretty good for samiches. I like to bbq carne asada at home. We have a great Argentinian restraunt near us that has the best steaks ever. El Farolito restraunt for the best mexican food in the world.

    Is this bad?

    I bought the entire engine, transmission, harness, ecu, turbo and afm and I already made my money back and I still have parts left. So I don't mind throwing this block in the trash. :icon_wink We sell JDM 7m's on our site for $750, no tax for out of CA. And anyone who gives you an unlimited...

    Anyone Got In-Dash TV in the Supe? JVC InDash dvd players-the 5100, or the 6160?

    For internet access you just need a wifi card and a high gain antenna. I think the antenna was $20 and the 54g wifi card was $12 on sale at Fry's. (outpost.com) In my area there are hotspots all over the place, and all of downtown Fullerton has wifi. I can usually connect at post offices...

    LOL I offered to buy after when we swapped a 1j in for him, I'm not mad about it because we knew the engine had problems.

    Is this bad?

    You tell me. And no, it was not built by Willy Wonka, that's not chocolate. Moral: Don't buy a used 7m till you pull the pan.
