    A340E Auto transmission question... dropping out of OD & 3rd.

    Is it shifting into neutral, or do you think it is slipping? What does it feel more like?

    Need ur expertise on this one. Head Cylinder

    I would be concerned about the seal. I guess it comes down to the headgasket and how much it has to compensate for that. For example, Fel-pro sells a MLS for field repair when you don't have a machine shop,(not for 7M of course). If your gasket seals it, then ok. But I don't like how it looks.

    t3/t4 turbo dsm any good for 7mgte?

    Almost everything is better than a CT-26. When there are bolt on turbos that do it, I don't know why you would go the extra mile ($$$) when the goal is only 350-400 hp.

    It is a very common sealed bulb. Many cars use the same one. Buying used bulbs?

    How high can you safely boost a mostly stock 7mgte? New to forums!.

    O'rion is a constellation of a hunter. I think he is a hunter. Astronomy is one of the many tools of the devil. He has a belt. It looks like it is wrapped tight. However, it isn't. The stars are moving rapidly apart. It just looks like it is still. Pardon me for cribbing from a source like Wiki...

    Assuming the long block doesn't have 20 pluse years of wear and tear, you can go about 12 psi before fuel cut. Give or take with weather.

    1jzgte vs. 2jzgte

    The 2JZGTE is larger and therefore makes more power in all apples to apples comparisons.

    Won't idle/ harsh idle

    You didn't give much to go on. The engine being out of time, to include the cam position sensor will make a new engine not start/run bad.

    Cold Start Injector Time Switch cots $148 from Toyota

    I bought one from the internet. I don't remember if it was Amazon or Toyotapartszone.com or what. And it was more like $50. MSRP is pretty high compared to dealer cost. But hey, they have to pay for the lights to be on when nobody is buying cars.

    The injection timing also comes from the CPS, not just the spark out put of the secondary igntion.

    I would never install a head like that for a paying customer.

    questions about ACIS! and how it really functions

    That is backwards, and I think that has been pointed out by now. The default position of the plugner is open. Engine vacuum is applied via the VSV closing the valve when low speed torque is needed. And I have driven a Supra when the VSV was frozen, limiting the low speed torque and always open...

    Alright, a little electrical hiccup? SOLVED

    Jumper? To stop the 12v-9v switch, just disable the signal wire to the relay. No reason to jump anything. If you are doing the 12v mod because of tuning difficulties.

    Alright, a little electrical hiccup? SOLVED

    You probably won't see much by checking power on the small wire, other than what you already know. It is there before you are in the crank position. You need to find out why, probably with the aftermarket contraption.
