I wonder if there is some kind of reaction going on with an element in the fluid. Is there any kind of "lubricant" you could add? I wonder if the chemical composition is changing from the heat cycles?

Ok going back and forth with ATF. Is there anyone particular that you spoke with about transmission work? Second, fixing to start buying engine parts... For the 700_800 hp range what do you think should be upgraded in the long block (have rods and pistons already) what valve spings would be a step down from your current build. Not looking to hit over 6k rpm so the custom cap thing is a little overboard no? Stock cam ok?
Oh for 700hp at the crank you should be able to get away with the ID850 injectors and pump gas. You will still need dual Aeromotive 340 pumps, you could do it with a 1000 but that's a huge pump to put in the stock tank. I would probably still go ahead and change out the fuel pressure regulator as the stock one has some age one it. I would go with a mild cam, probably a Kelford custom grind since it's the same price as a an off the shelf. Get the kelford or super tech valve springs and call it a day. Push it up to 21-22psi, keep the charge air cold with a good intercooler and water/meth injection or both. And you should be set!
Now that you have your turbo setup fairly dialed in, what fuel mileage are you seeing tooling around town and what are you seeing on the interstate if you stay outta boost for the most part? Im sure if you heavy foot it you probably only see like 10mpg.
With the third gen 4runner, it's typical to see 1 or 2 mpg better fuel economy with the supercharger. So would my urd 7th injector kit for the 3.4 work on the fz? It intercepts the cam sensor and o2 and pulls a map signal on the 3.4 to dial back timing and inject fuel. It also forces open loop at whatever boost level i tell it. Did u ever look into that with yours? Problem with my 4runners towing capacity isn't quite enough for me.
