    RTH I just put ATF in my engine oil

    I just post this in the hope it helps prevent some preventable damage... yes adding ATF is an old and often recommended shade tree trick to release some sludge from the engine and essentially use it as an "engine-friendly-engine-flush" (as opposed to some of the older super strong solvent type...

    1FZFE Turbo setup?

    Hope this helps. It actually isn't the unichip that causes the 10.5 AFRs; the system will run that regardless of whether the Unichip that was provided was installed and in fact most people don't install them at all after problems presented with the unichip that didn't present without the...

    how do I clean up carbon deposits?

    I'm not sure I understand what you are asking; that is one of the two lines that I took care of in the thread that I posted above. Can you clarify what you were asking there in case I confused it? Thanks.

    Not at wit's end, plenty of patience. But can anyone identify this ticking?

    Well first I'll say that recording was really soft so listening to that was kinda like listening to the church mouse forcing a fart! :) Having stated that I agree 100% with everyone else so far. To my ear it is equal parts louder with more throttle and faster with more throttle so I say...

    Questions about Head Gaskets

    Realistically there's really no way to predict this with any accuracy at all but one thing that is probable/predictable is that if you wait until it ultimately totally fails then you could have additional damage done as in warped head, warped block, damaged pistons, etc. and you would have a...

    BRAKE ROTORS: Centric vs Powerstop vs Brembo..?

    As I already mentioned above the drilled rotors are indeed a PITA; I used to get them so packed full of dirt and debris that the inside venting vanes of the rotors would get completely clogged! In my experience though there's no worry with the slotted ones in any type of terrain. Despite some...

    how do I clean up carbon deposits?

    This is what mine were looking like after wiping them with BG44K and a cotton terry cloth. Wipe it on, let it soak, wipe it off, repeat. You can accelerate the process by polishing with a wet small 3m "fine" nylon scuff pad. I personally wouldn't put anything more aggressive up against the...

    BRAKE ROTORS: Centric vs Powerstop vs Brembo..?

    Just as another option I alternate between a set of slotted and drilled DBA rotors and a set of slotted only DBA rotors (I prefer the slotted only ones because drilled basically gets full of dirt). After some experimentation specifically with EBC and PBR pads, I am now only using OEM 100 series...

    1FZFE Turbo setup?

    I'll try to find stuff I saved a while ago but I think APS (Air Power Systems) has taken down the links to everything except their diesel systems now. As scottryana already shared they are not anymore producing their awesome "petrol" systems unfortunately. Yes the truck has had the turbo for...

    1FZFE Turbo setup?

    Just as another hopefully helpful comparison ... yes I am 100% absolutely happy with my setup. Currently at 10.5 to 10.75 psi for about fifteen thousand miles now. Stock injectors, stock ECM, stock MAF, no piggyback. Rig currently has 198K and still pulling strong (turbo installed when rig...

    Man-A-Fre Aluminum Radiator Replacement ( Some Photos and Some Data)

    Okay well then what probably has happened is that they used to be Ron Davis Racing and now Man-A-Fre has subbed to someone else but back when I was purchasing it definitely was Ron Davis Racing. I betcha Man-A-Fre just thought that since Ron Davis Racing was charging 950 they could too. So it...

    Man-A-Fre Aluminum Radiator Replacement ( Some Photos and Some Data)

    Just to clarify any confusion they are the same radiator.:cheers:

    Man-A-Fre Aluminum Radiator Replacement ( Some Photos and Some Data)

    Yes, I've stated that several times in this thread as well as others. Still doesn't mean that there aren't any advantages to the RDR radiator over the OEM radiator. :cheers:

    Man-A-Fre Aluminum Radiator Replacement ( Some Photos and Some Data)

    I think they are still in stock at Man-A-Fre for the same price point of $950. But, as I've tried to say in several threads over the years the stock radiator is really superb and unless you have FI you probably don't need the Ron Davis Racing unit, heck even with FI I didn't "need" it but now...

    Man-A-Fre Aluminum Radiator Replacement ( Some Photos and Some Data)

    Still holding strong and performing perfectly! I seriously cannot seem to get the rig to run over 98C with this thing (and that was towing a trailer about 3000 pounds, AC on, 85 mph, 95 degree day, steep grade and 7000 ft altitude). Well worth the $$$ in my opinion. :cheers:

    1FZ-FE injectors for turbo.

    Well, yes, that is indeed a "very different setup" I was referring to the stock fuel system through and through (and also indirectly a stock intake system, stock ECU setup, etc). BTW, What 3.5" MAF are you using? :cheers:

    1FZ-FE injectors for turbo.

    For long lasting reliability don't go over 12psi. I personally feel 10psi is tops with stock fuel system; I started to see very slightly lean transitions from closed to open loop at approx 10.5psi, maybe 10.75psi. In no time at all the AFR then gets rich, and richer and richer yet but right...

    Brakes, anyone use DBA or EBC rotors

    Yes as an "all around" preference I really think the 100 series pads are awesome. Keep in mind I think of pads similarly to tires; in other words they all have pros and cons and areas where one will outperform another. In my experience thus far the pads that really "bite the best" for pure...
