Really? I was pretty sure it was the heat, since turbo was running really hot and felt like it couldn't get in enough air (less density).
Lower octane makes my exhaust temps go higher.
Also, I'm not talking about little 1 or 2 hour drives here.. I do around 10-16 hours a day at ~3k rpm for the...
Funny you should mention that. I drove from NW (Oregon) to Killeen, took me a few days, yesterday during the day when it was hot as shit, I started to get idle/rpm problems. It would sputter, backfire, and blow black smoke out the tail pipe. The AFR readings were off the chart at like 9-10.1 on...

Yes, I did lost power, and started to choke in boost (was pretty bad at 6k feet), but when I went down and temps were still cold as s**t, I gained a bit :)
Well, I'm not running that lean :)
Doesn't matter thu, I'm down in Georgia now, they got 93 Octane ::)
tell you what thu, that drive up in the mountains with temps around -15, -20 was awesome, think I picked up like an extra 50 to the wheels, lol.
I see. Wouldn't you agree that running 20 PSI + will most likely cause Det on 91/92 Octane than?
Btw, thanks for a straight answer, grumpy old guy ...
Cheers!
Just some basic bolt ons and a bit over 1 Bar of boost, figured it'll be safer than running just 92 Octane. Plus I'm running lean right now for no reason, which doesn't seem safe to me even when I'm not boosting. Got a bunch of other internal parts do go inside the engine whenever I have time...
It's one of those $25 Champion filters. I will check the pump again, but like I said before, I put all that stuff in after it started to run lean. I upped base FP to 40 PSI with Vac line on, will see if that's gonna make a difference tomorrow.
That's the one thing I need to check, thanks for...
Got some more updates...
Got a brand new AFPR, put it in, set base FP at 44PSI with vac off car running.
Took it out for a drive... well, seen a little difference AFR vise. crusing on low RPM about 1500-2500 AFR goes to around 13.5-13.8 thats with 0% +/- on SAFC. As soon as I hit high throttle...
Don't know if you still looking, but there was a guy on craigslist who does 1jz work. Around Tacoma area I believe.
Might still have his email if you need it.
