    Awkward fuel cut problem.

    X2... Why even make a thread before fixing the obvious.

    Awkward fuel cut problem.

    TPS sensor is causing your problems. The other codes need fixed as well. Just wondering, why try all the other stuff when the car has already told you what is wrong with it?

    7mgte stock rebuild-sort of

    Somewhere around 380+ rwhp. Clevite bearings are popular too, I'd stay away from King bearings though.

    7mgte stock rebuild-sort of

    Forget about the cheap Chinese rebuild kits. If it's a mild build, get a set of NPR pistons, new bearings (I like ACL), a new oil pump and water pump from Toyota, ARP head studs, and a Titan/Cometic MHG. ARP rod bolts are a good idea. Have a good machine shop bore and hone the block with the...

    connecting rod replacement

    Might as well pull the motor and check the crank and rods. Easier to do it right than to do it twice.

    Fluctuating AFR under WOT (jpg and log file included)

    Something still isn't right, your AFR's should be in the 10's at full throttle on the stock ECU.

    Divorced Down Pipes

    In my experience with my own and friends supra's, yes. (Also going 3" straight pipe at the same time.) I am at sea level though in cold weather so the cars hit fuel cut sooner here.

    Divorced Down Pipes

    haha, my car sets them off at low revs in parking lots. fwiw I have Driftmotion's bellmouth downpipe, quality is very nice and fitment is perfect.

    Detonation Threshold

    I know it's different in every engine, but I'm wondering how close I'm getting to the limits of 92 octane pump fuel in my 7M. I'm using a 57 trim ct26 at 16-17 psi with supporting mods. A/F ratio stays in the mid 10's at full throttle. I don't plan on pushing it any higher but I want to know if...

    Coolant gushing sound

    The system will purge air on its own if there are no leaks. You have a leak somewhere.

    7mgte stock rebuild-sort of

    Just do it the right way from the start. Full on build. I did the ol' headgasket swap and go and blew it up 6 months later. Use ARP studs, not bolts. Use a Metal headgasket like a Titan, Cometic, or HKS. Use OEM gaskets from toyota on everything else. I'm running 16 lbs of boost on that turbo...

    Horsepower?

    Thank you for the replies. Motor has about 7K miles. 180psi across all cylinders. I'm also at sea level and it's about 50 degrees here. So I'm hoping for some decent power levels.

    Really Stupid Coolant Issue.:cry:

    Sorry to tell you, but if the reservoir is filling up it's probably a BHG. A couple years ago I popped the hood after driving, reservoir was overflowing. Temp was normal, running normal. BHG.

    Hg ?'s

    Yes it will be fine, not even close to causing a problem. Are you using ARP studs?
