    Outstanding subwoofer for the targa guys

    How about one that fits under the passenger seat in about the same size as the factory option?

    tech questions for the 7mge experts

    Good. The retards use the internet to be known. That is my conclusion. Toyota specs for the most part match SAE specs. .001 on the block and a little more on the head. The composite gasket will accomodate the rough surface, but not warpage beyond specs.

    intercooler

    I did 30 on the tank on the drive to Vegas with cruise control for the entire tank. Watch how fast your LT corrects. First tank was 26, second was 29.5.

    Having some issues

    You don't want to run the larger meter without the correctly sized injectors. Toyota uses a rich tune in lieu of forged pistons. It is playing with fire.

    someone mind telling me their mph @ 3krpm w/ r-154 and 3.73

    There is also a gear ratio chart floating around somewhere that is close enough.

    Cold engine slight tap/knock

    Ticking and knock are not the same thing in automotive. It is the tone, not just the volume.

    someone mind telling me their mph @ 3krpm w/ r-154 and 3.73

    RPM = (MPH x 336 x Gear Ratio x Diff Ratio) ÷ Tire Circumfrence

    57 trim CT26 - slow spool and early fuel cut

    My 2 cents....Don't bother. Get a T4 compressor with a flange to mount the stock manifold. While my Boss Jr is no longer available, the JT series is still out there.

    Few simple Lexus AFM questions

    I just wanted to repeat this. It didn't seem to sink in. http://www.autoshop101.com/forms/h44.pdf This is part of the OBD level 2 lesson, but it still applies. And as for Mr Icanoutdriveabs, if it really held at 14.7:1, then something was wrong. It is supposed to switch. The catalyst...

    more cooling needed.

    Small brakes that will warp when pushed to 100 mph multiple times? That is rich. If you need other cooling help, just ask, but that is all I have for now.

    Few simple Lexus AFM questions

    Let's establish some things you already know, but maybe are not thinking about. The switching is from closed loop. The switching is to keep the catalyst in the proper operating range. The computer runs rich and lean on purpose for that catalyst. The only way to switch the sensor would be if...

    more cooling needed.

    For what reason do you hate it? Because it slips and doesn't draw engine power when moving? Or because it moves more air when it is standing still? So you take things off the car Toyota put on so it will cool, then you ask if putting them back on will cool it? Priceless. I love the interwebz....

    Coolant doesn't boil at 212, so the whole idea of straight or mostly water in Florida or other places is from the bad idea fairy.
