    Valve Touched Piston When Crank Turned by Hand.. Insight?

    Indeed something is off. Block had a lot taken off and pistons where fly cut to reduce the protrusion. Head has been decked 3 times. Minimal amounts on the 2 that where done by me. the head still measured 40cc's. Sorry cant recall the amounts. I'll dig through my notes and see if I wrote...

    Valve Touched Piston When Crank Turned by Hand.. Insight?

    Motors on the stand. Heads on and Tqed down. Cams in and Tqed down. Valve clearances within stock specs. .10-.11mm on this particular valve Stock cams. Stock valves. Stock springs. Timing belt NOT on. No spark plugs. I was filling the oil passages with oil to ward off rust...

    No VF signal during operating or Idle.

    ^ this, I've had a problem, like this before. Check the tuner pro settings in the BIN for the KPA range on the VE table. If your using the settings that lets you adjust the KPA range, It may be off. During a laptop to MP transfer it somehow got messed up. 1500rpms was 200kpa and 2000 rpms...

    Going from Piggyback to Standalone

    ^ LOL, do pull ups count? If your replacing the stock ecu, the standalone will come with options to supply itself with an airflow meter. Speed density, AFM MAF etc are usually the basic choices. You can get rid of everything and anything piggy back..

    Oil Coolerless with Use of High Grade Synthetic Oil.

    look at it from a different angle... If toyota did not need to spend the money for the oil cooler setup, they wouldnt. The cost savings on 100,000 cars is significant at a production level. Lets pretend. Oil cooler setup cost toyota $50 as a whole system. (bulk manufactoring etc..) Thats...

    Oil Coolerless with Use of High Grade Synthetic Oil.

    Also consider the stock oil cooler acts as a bypass. It only cools a portion of the oil. On a bone stock motor it obviously passed toyo's R&D. I wouldn't bother with a full flow until pushing into the 300whp range, but thats just an opinion.

    Am I the only one who thinks that electric fans are a downgrade?

    what about OEM fans off bigger cars? Anybody looked at a corvette's fan? The fan off a dodge viper is a mod TONS of the 3rd gen dodge ram guys do. I haven't seen actual flow test but its supposed to pull north of 4000cfm. The current draw is HUGE though. I cant see a stock alt. lasting. I...

    will a MBC help keep boost down in cold weather?

    have to pull fuel. Can you richen it up a tad and remove 5% with the safc? otherwise lean it out to 11.8 and that might be just enough with the safc to get past fuel cut.

    Oil Coolerless with Use of High Grade Synthetic Oil.

    there are also a lot of morons with 2j's that swear up and down that their stock motor NEEDS 50 and 60 weight oils. How does keeping fluids with in their temperature range = unnecessary?

    Oil Coolerless with Use of High Grade Synthetic Oil.

    Before I installed the oil thermostat a few years back I used to use a piece of cardboard to block the oil cooler until things got to temps. I left the cooler 100% blocked (forgot) and raced some one doing 4-5 pulls from 20-100mph. By the end of the last pull i had 0 oil psi at idle where I...

    Tial 38MM Wastgate Mod on Stock Manifold with an Upgraded CT26

    im sorry what do you mean? im saying the wastegate is directly on the manifold and not on the turbo at all, and the wastegate on the turbo is welded shut. I get that. How do you know that the design of the fabbed up wastegate tube will work any better then an internal gate? as long as...

    Tial 38MM Wastgate Mod on Stock Manifold with an Upgraded CT26

    Where are they going to drill the hole? The wastgate is a system. An external gate does not mean no creep. How do you know the location and angle of the hole will be sufficient to avoid creep? I'd spend more time searching for a WG actuator and bracket that will fit on the ct-26. Other...

    Piston to head clearance

    where all 6 pistons measured? tolerance stack needs to be taken into account as well. Also any carbon build up down the road could have some serious effects. I'm sitting right at .045 quench. all six slugs where fly cut to get a uniform .012 deck protrusion. 40cc head combustion chamber and...

    CPS replacement shielded harness wire?

    I only see the 8723 in 22awg and smaller. Will the smaller wires have ANY effect on the signals? Beldon #8760 appears to be identical in shielding except its 18awg and only has two wires. You'd have to double up on it
