Looks good but looks like it's running rich as hell.
she's running rich at idle, freeway cruising is at 13.5-14.4 and under full boost at 5500rpm its at 11.5-12, which according to my friend who builds 500hp 1jzs you want it rich when the computer goes closed loop under full boost at wot

Under boost sounds good, I shoot for 12 as I hit boost and drop it to 11.5 after a few PSI. That's a little rich at cruise though.

i know I'm just kinda holding out until i can afford the standalone system...the turbo computer works well but its from an auto so its actually detuned 40hp from a manual computer...so there are HUGE hp gains to be had when i get a full custom tune running. plus better rich then lean!

no not too soon. but im keeping it all to swap into another truck...trying to find a first gen extended cab...but im going for show quality on everything this time so it will be a slower build.


as for the calipers...im running 89-97 djm lowering beams. so i took the knuckles off a 95-97 that have the twin piston bolt on calipers.
