    9.1:1+ on boost 10-12psi

    Ummm a GE is THE same as a GTE just with more compression ;)

    ok i want to do this to my 7mge

    Doesn't look quite that good ;) As for how well it would work, you'd have to use 50% pedal for the same gross airflow so cruise instead of being 13% would be 7.5%, it would be like a quick action throttle on a dirt bike. At 50% you'd have the same airflow as a normal GE at 100% (and I...

    freeze plugs

    Was more an answer to Brian's question about having to change plugs after a hot tank, steel = no, brass = yes.

    #3 is a fail as it stays soft ;)

    freeze plugs

    Stock Toyota one is steel, if it's not rotten as I said before I leave them be as the potential for fail is so high.

    freeze plugs

    Why? #5 Indian Head will work as an alternative for the hard to find #4.

    9.1:1+ on boost 10-12psi

    Will need either good fuel or some sort of detonation suppressant ie: Water injection, I'm currently doing this with a 6.0L Chev+low boost.

    freeze plugs

    bzzzzzzz WRONG It's installed correctly. It's a Cup plug and is staked in place, I don't change them out unless it's 100% needed (Sharp probe and push it in the middle, if it's rotten it will punch through) "IF" you change it and don't get it right look where it is and imagine the...

    Limiting 1st gear wheel spin - ideas?

    Not tested, but the lines are so short in the new set up I can't see it being an issue.

    Limiting 1st gear wheel spin - ideas?

    It was fail fail fail and fail some more till I went DBW Brad, EVERYTHING we tried just plain didn't work and that was on a 10psi spring in the 3540r internal gate... The Tial is a totally different beast and is so stable/predictable and allows you to set any target boost on any spring...

    Speedo driven gear installation

    Correct me if I'm wrong but 4.30 is NA only ie: W58? I "thought" 154's use a different driven gear? Paging Jeff Lange....

    Limiting 1st gear wheel spin - ideas?

    In my car it being so quiet you could hear the turbo spool as TRAC kicked in. (once I fugured out exactly what it was doing and knew what I was hearing) Had the Tech's at MoTeC pulling their hair out when we first set it up as they'd e-mail me a file I'd run it log it and report back, I kept...

    Limiting 1st gear wheel spin - ideas?

    10 degrees is firmly in the afterburner zone, I limit mine to 3 degrees max and when I went back to Gas and DBW Trac changed it to 0. The beauty of something like the MoTeC is you can have it based on 2 different inputs ie: Wheelspin x Road speed and have a table to trim the car's behaviour.

    Can you get a Macro pic of the "cracks"?

    Limiting 1st gear wheel spin - ideas?

    Which would make it go into "antilag" burning the fuel in the exhaust making more boost/spin..... I had a bitch of a time figuring out why mine wheelspun more when I had TRAC pull timing till I logged it and noticed an increase in EGT's and Boost.

    Limiting 1st gear wheel spin - ideas?

    Pity that the AVCR doesn't have a way to remote trigger the A and B settings then you could hook it to the AC's ambient temp sensor behind the grill and have the safe setting automatic! ;) I know you don't really drive the car in the rain but all it takes is 2psi boost at 100 mph in the wet...

    Limiting 1st gear wheel spin - ideas?

    Mine was mounted up on the firewall on the exhaust side Brad, my lines were fairly long but quite stiff construction being 4mm EFI hose (it didn't cope with the temps so has been changed to silicone) I swapped a 3psi spring in for the Chev to aid TRAC. What I found was all it took was a...

    Heater blows cold?

    Don't think he'd be seeing engine temp issues if that were the case? OP: Check if the Heater on the firewall tap opens/closes with the engine running. Turn the Ign on but don't start the engine then cycle the heat slider/button from H>C a few times and listen for the Mixer door servo.
