    O2 sensor and open loop and Vf

    Since you have piggy back control, and are scaling the AFM signal, the TCCS does not actually know what is going on. The piggy back is giving false information to change the fuel injection. But the TCCS does not know it is false, and assumes it to be true. This will effect open loop also if you...

    O2 sensor and open loop and Vf

    The oxygen sensor is not used in open loop. It is feed back control to keep the catalytic converter in its best operating range. http://www.mkiiitech.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=873 That link is a good read about fail safe and back up modes. Just an FYI. I had to reread the original post.

    Too much compression for boost?????

    Actually, you have the meter scaled wrong or something. Or those are metal core wires. A really good wire can easily be 1500 ohm's per foot. Race wires like MSD are very low, like 50 ohms per foot, but they are not really for street use, and transmit RFI like a mad dog. Or maybe the NGK wires...

    Installed 3.5" BIC Thunder Catback ***Pics***

    A good turbo exhaust system with a straight through muffler will increase the V.E. of the engine. More power at the same boost level for the win.

    Sealed Power

    I don't know anything about that pump. Knowing the 7M after market, it is a rebuilt Toyota unit.

    Too much compression for boost?????

    Did you noticet the numbers got higher with each cylinder? You must block the throttle plate open and disconnect the EFI. Otherwise, you turned your test into an increaseing wet compression test. The later GE cams call for 170 psi for the compression test.

    auto trans not doing right

    Well, it is one or the other. Your diagnostic work was flawed somehow. Solenoid number 1 needs to be on to put the car in first gear.

    400-450HP Engine rebuild questions/opinions?

    Select fit bearings does not equal a blue print.

    Piston limitations

    Severe detonation will put a hole in the piston at 300 hp the same as it will 400 hp. The hole just won't be as big.

    O2 sensor and open loop and Vf

    This is a tangent, but in my proffessional opinion, the Ford EEC-IV for OBD level 1 is far more flexible and easy to deal with. Well, as a whole, not including feedback control which all cars have.

    92Turbo4Life STOLE MY SUPRA!!!!!

    You know the VIN is etched all over the car. And other identity theft items on various car parts. If he still has the car somewhere, the detective will know it. If it is long gone, you are probably hosed if it is just aftermarket gauges.

    Opinions on a GTE with GE pistons, for my toyota 4x4 pickup

    There were a few 7MGE turbo kits back in the late 80's. Low boost is just fine.
