ZT2 datalog file? I've nothing that opens that... BTW, 10:1 @ WOT is really freaking rich! :D

You can have them professionally widened if you REALLY want them wider. :)

NA cams will make zero difference. Worst case... yank the exhaust side valve cover, pull the CPS out slowly, and watch as you rotate it by a single tooth, then put it back in, reassemble, and time it from there.

Aha! We have run into this problem before. Try this - turn the CPS gear 180 degrees out, and put it in that way. PS: Even if you were off by a tooth, you should still be able to see the timing marks...

I think I understand. If you like the engine, and want something different, this is the route to go. However, despite what you might read, keep in mind that a 7M with decent torque on a metal head gasket is just as reliable. The 2J has a decent advantage in that there are a lot more...

Clean your terminals, and clean your ground wires where they connect to the engine and body. If this still happens, get your alternator and battery tested.

Unlikely. It's probably the oil seals in the turbo - they are considerably tougher to replace than your average gasket.

Should I ask why you don't like the engine that came in your car?

Have you checked for codes?

Doesn't matter. The engine will run and time just fine with the timing out 180 degrees anyhow, we run a wasted spark system that fires two cylinders at once. What exactly has been the problem with your timing?

He has a stock turbo. Somehow I doubt he'll get that far. As long as he doesn't run his combustion temps too high or detonate, he should be fine.

Unless you want to go over 72 foot pounds, don't worry about geting aftermarket bolts.

He's driving an automatic. Really tough to pop start those. :) Also, pop starting a fuel injected car is not a good idea - if you don't have enough power to run the ECU, injectors, and fuel pump, you can cause some serious damage. I'm willing to bet that your problem is just corroded...

Too many variables to guess. Get on a dyno, turn up the boost until you start to lean out, then turn it back down a bit.

Too cloudy here as well. Plus the bog just south of us is on fire, so the sky is covered in smoke. :(

A composite gasket is more forgiving, but won't hold as much horsepower. All the heads that I have seen were deformed on the mating surface from the original head gasket - it's torqued on there hard enough to mar the aluminum finish significantly.

Gaining weight is easy. Work out, and hit up your local nutrition store for some weight gain powder.

The charcoal canister line doesn't go through the airbox. It has a junction at the firewall mount for the airbox... you can just route it directly from the charcoal canister to the tree on the thermostat housing.

I've blown some stuff up in my Supra, but nothing that I wasn't expecting. Would I be concerned about driving it across the country? Not at all.
