    Aem standalone vs. stock ecu

    Engine Swap Saddness...

    lower temp fan switch

    this is the problem with guys using stock sensors to control aftermarket fans. The stock sensors like the one your using are BACK UPS. THey are designed to kick on the AC fans when temps get higher then "normal". Ive seen several posts with guys using these with out issues with a stock temp...

    7m-gte auto trans ?

    oil pan should be different and then you run into mounting that trans as well. Not to mention your PRAYING its in good condtion(if its not, you just wasted a LOT of time and cash). Cooling fans change from one car to the next too. Lots of little things that have been convered in the "other...

    Oil psi Sensor and a few other questions...

    egr only works under moderate load till 4000rpms. No benefit under wot but its a huge safety margin under light throttle boost regions. Increased mpgs, cooler egt's, detonation supresion etc... higher octane should cover the detonation portion. All of this is keeping in mind that your...

    Oil psi Sensor and a few other questions...

    if the aftermarket gauge sender is small enough (mainly height) you can fit it next to the powersteering pump. There is a port with a plug in it about 6" in front of the stock oil pressure sender. guessing that was worded wrong?

    7m-gte auto trans ?

    no the aristo 2jz will need work to fit. IJ is saying the 2jz-NA-T is a simpler/cheaper swap. Which it is mainly for the reason he listed and you can keep the stock intercooler layout. Nothing is going to be as simple as keeping the 7m and building the trans you have. Autos are pretty sweet...

    Oil psi Sensor and a few other questions...

    adding a bigger oil cooler while still keeping the stock filter head may not give you the expected results. Can you block it off and run it, yep. Id add a full flow setup though. (look in oil section stickies)

    Keep or sell SARD ECU?

    shouldnt your standalone have outputs to control the speedo and rpm gauge?

    Piston/Rod Combo

    air/fuel gauge install

    a wideband gauge does what a narrow band gauge does (in the way this one is being used), except it actually gives you a number.. guessing with a set of lights? come on now, not much use unless your "totally off the reservation"

    Oil pressure paranoia...

    at least that you can see ;). The PPM level has to be quite high for it to be visible to the human eye. IIRC SC's sig has a link stating 400ppm will eat bearings. If you can see it, its into the 10,000+ PPM range.

    any advantages to adjusting CPS for more power?

    only to adjust timing. Stock ecu actually provides a healthy amount of timing under load and at wot already(depending on air flow). Set it to 10* and leave it alone.

    limited slip???

    crap i added 2 oz of the lsd additive. start with 1/2 oz huh? might have to drain and refill. No chatter, or slipping for that matter. But i dont usually lay down rubber either...

    Oil leaking issue.

    At some point the plug was over tq'ed which seems to be confirmed by your "breaking" threads. It deforms the pan in that area making copper gaskets a joke. Napa has gaskets like this behind the counter. Bring gthe bolt in and match it up. I use a paper one (feels like thick cardboard) and...
