    intercooler questions

    The dynos I have seen (turning back the clock) are best with top down on the 7M. With the intake going over the turbo, the routing has to turn around. So then it just becomes a matter of how many turns and angles. I don't have one, but the old Cartech I mentioned had the highest effeciency...

    We just can't manufacture it in the US.

    Differnces in GTE & GE (Alt, PSP, starter, pullies, AC compress etc ANY ASSESORIES)

    It seems like the GTE alternator was rated to a little higher amps. I don't have the technical data in front of me. This would be for the extra electric fans on the A340 GTE.

    intercooler questions

    The Cartech intercooler (now 6" instead of 8") is top to bottom for the same pressure loss reasons.

    Bought a rebuilt block need help.

    That is my understanding on the crank bearing journals. Toyota isn't real big on grinding any of the their crankshafts. Even when forged steel.

    I have a T04E compressor. They are about 58mm in 57 trim. I would have to double check. Lex meter, 550's, no tuning aside from TCCS and it idles and runs perfect. The further the screw is turned in, the lower the overboost fuel cut. And the better it runs.

    Some of us guys have a refrigeration license. The others are breaking the law on ebay. Just a hunch.... You should have done what I said, leave AZ. :)

    Fuel Pulsation Dampener, unlucky or is there something else going on?

    My 21 year old dampener started leaking. So I bought a new one. Too easy.

    Engine overheats on highway with AC on

    The car will not run at all at 70 psi. The Toyota repair manuals stipulates the technician knows how a compression test is done on any car.

    The ABS LIGHT

    There is a special tool, or a procedure by hand. It involves alternating ground at specified intervals.

    Valve Clearances & Performance

    Symptoms will be very mild if at all, in a practical sense. The worst thing you will notice is noise.

    The reason air temp is monitored is so the PCM can determine a cold start. When the intake air and coolant are the same, the PCM knows it is a cold start, and the correction factor for running is applied. You can see this with your idle speed. It goes down as coolant temps rise. Adding a...

    And Steve Irwin swam with crocodiles and sharks all the time. Was there a point to your post? The car doesn't have a mass airflow sensor. And a resistor will not change the Hz, which is what the PCM monitors, not the amplitude, or even an non existant analog signal. A resistor might set a code...

    Driveshaft Decision. I'm torn. Advice from experienced?

    Market forces is the correct answer. Aluminum is cheap. Soda cans aren't aluminum because it is convenient to you. People paying those absurd prices is the reason for the absurd prices. They still aren't very much money. Just a sec.... http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FMS-M-4602-J/ Still only...

    Driveshaft Decision. I'm torn. Advice from experienced?

    Not to make you feel bad, but I paid under $200 for my SVO aluminum drive shaft back in the day.

    The Lex meter doesn't tell any lie. It tells the absolute truth about air volume and velocity. The TCCS just doesn't know the calibration.

    Rotten egg smell

    Old has nothing to do with it.Yes, it will fix the problem "for now" because the sulfur is no longer oxidizing in the bed. On the other hand, your gas station could always have higher sulfur than others and be below standards. And your defective cat isn't cutting it. Keep in mind, catalytic...

    440's will get you to 700 hp no problem. Just not with six injectors.
