    Any of you guys raced a 350z

    I was at the dyno and a potential customer (pricing a turbo install) was asking how they did. The dyno operator (Mustang Dyno) said they were consistent at about 210 rwhp. So yeah, they are not exactly burners.

    Built a340e, Torque Converter Lockup, not shifting into 2nd under WOT?

    AEM has no control over the transmission. The trans ECU needs various signals from the TCCS or AEM to function properly. That is normal, to a point. And, how do you know this? Are you using an AEM for a different car? Or a universal unit and not the plug and play that is now...

    International does something similar to Toyota. That is why I asked, maybe you are familiar with it. Toyota calls the signal IDL, International calls it IVS. That is Idle Validation Switch. And when the throttle opens, the switch closes.

    Car is Cranking but won't run

    Different manufacturers are more alike than not alike. And going from a 91 Corolla to a 91 Supra things really get similar in strategy and execution. If you know automotive you know where to look based on symptoms, that is true. Yep.

    NEED HELP wiring 550 lexus injecters to a 88 supra turbo

    You can find info about splicing right here. But I also don't understand why you are wanting to do something if you don't know how. Would you also attempt to operate on somebody's foot? No, seriously, this isn't an insult. If you need help installing injectors, you probably shouldn't try.

    At witts end

    I am guessing no. Or they are "low bid". Anyway, have you figured it out yet?

    At witts end

    Those are some expensive guesses without testing. You put a fuel pump in because of a rolling idle?

    N/A non-lsd to LSD differential swap?

    Yep. 3 of the 4 7MGE's I had came with LSD, and none were the sport package.

    Battery Cables: Options?

    This. And this. A couple of weeks back I diagnosed a LC that somebody wrongly diagnosed as a starter when the wingnut gave him 9V dropped.

    N/A non-lsd to LSD differential swap?

    For the record, the limited slip was an option on the 7MGE engine, and standard with the 7MGE sport package.

    Car is Cranking but won't run

    The technician doesn't need to know any specifics about the 7M to fix it.

    4.30 from 3.73... will I accelerate quicker?

    No. Diameter doesn't change it at all. You can get the tire taller, wider, or both. Only taller changes the ratios.

    1JZGTE stock vs 7MGTE stock

    Why not compare it to an LS2 or something else if that is the case?

    BIC Divorced Downpipe

    You don't need to be anywhere near 400 hp to have turbulence. And just so you know, I don't run a divorced down pipe.

    4.30 from 3.73... will I accelerate quicker?

    Then why bother with the changes if the overall ratio remains the same?

    BIC Divorced Downpipe

    Since the old thread is bumped.....Yes. You can also have a shroud on the turbine. At full throttel acceleration, such as bragging rights on a dyno, you will reach the wastegate setting. And it will open to hold the boost at....where ever you set it. And that air will create turbulent air in...

    Higher compression+lower boost= more power????

    There are several factors, including things you don't control like quality of fuel you have. And combustion chamber design, which is already optimized by Toyota to not detonate. 9.2:1 isn't exactly high compression. 8.4 is a built in safety margin. In case you couldn't tell, Toyota doesn't build...
