Regardless, thank you for the information about H&R springs. Glad you find them to be workable for your application.You can adjust it yourself, as long as you're sure that you're always running a sufficient octane of fuel in your tank to match whatever boost setting you put into the boost controller.That depends entirely upon the exact fuel that you're running in the tank. With USA-spec 93 octane (calculated using (R+M)/2), you can safely run 16psi with the oem ecu's ignition timing curve. Anything more than that and your 2jz-gte's compression numbers will deteriorate over time. Anyone who tells you differently should offer to replace the engine if you follow their advice and the engine gets damaged.With 91 octane fuel, it's probably 15psi or less. I'd recommend a 1.0 bar limit (~14.5psi)

Have you considered methanol injection?

No they went bad, i'm not talking about the difference in the front and rear, i am talking about the height of the car, in the front, the car sat over a 1/2 inch higher on the passenger side of the car then on the drivers side, the springs went bad, they were 17 years old i'm guessing they were bad when I put them on thats why they were not on the car when I purchased it. The new H & R seem to ride much nicer then my old springs. Thanks for the boost help, thats pretty much what I was thinking just figured Id ask.

im guessing the methonal injection is pretty pricey, i did consider it on my bike, but never went through with it, you recommend it to be safe?

Too bad you're stuck with 91 octane.

Meth injection is like anything - if you get a high quality kit, and you get it installed by professionals OR you really research and take your time...and if you get it tuned properly, it *can* be safe. However, if you get the cheapest kit out there, get 'bubba to install it in his driveway, and do no tuning...you can be pretty much guaranteed it won't be safe and your engine will get damaged even quicker because you'll be running more boost, assuming the meth kit will work. Make sense?

yeah i think the highest we have here is 92 at a bp, where would be the best bet to purchase a high quality kit? I have a great installer who I would use,

thanks

Here's an example of a good quality kit:

so would that kit be a decent way to add hp to my car? With it cooling down the air intake do you run more boost safely ? I've looked at those before for my motorcycle and bought the kit but never had it installed. I am very interested in that as i am looking to be safe when boosting. Thanks I am guessing the car would need to be tuned after thats installed?

No, that kit only provides a boost to the octane, in order to prevent detonation and engine damage. The hp add comes from more boost and more fuel.

Yes. Precisely correct.

Again, 100% correct. The meth kit needs to be tuned, the air/fuel needs to be tuned, etc. Basically every time the vehicle is modified, it needs to be re-tuned.
