If your car comes with a lead acid battery you'll want to do some research before installing something other than that. There's a reason why they have a switch on battery maintainers/chargers for lead acid and other batteries like AGM's. The charge rate/voltage is different.

I'll give ya a amen on that brother. My 2020 RAV4 is still on the factory battery.

I get that all day long on mine too if I'm railing the car. If I stack up enough triple digit pulls it'll drop into the mid to low 20's

Just checked mine. I run without the engine cover, so easy enough to see. As your looking in the engine bay I noticed the left fuel rail fitting had a lite coating of dirt on it with the right one being cleaner. Being closer to the dip stick I figured it might have picked up some oil residue...

They got it right the first time

Got my 2024 Performance in November 2023. The hardest part then was finding a white one at MSRP. They had them jacked up between 5/7K. Finally found one out of state. I gave them a grand to lock me in on the price until I could get there. They had it in the showroom. I asked the manager to send...

A tune might be your best bang for the buck

On the 13-14 psi was that with 0-20 or 5-30

Well written Sir.

Thank you Sir.

Thinking about this myself. I apologize if I missed this but I didn't see/read anything about it holding more oil. 6 quarts is fine with the factory pan just not reading anything that shows extra capacity. It wouldn't be the first time I overlooked something.

It had been brought up as a question. With a piggyback, is your boost gauge showing the higher boost. For lack of better word, the piggyback fools the ECU which in theory doesn't leave, shall we say any (being the key word) evidence of out of range operation. The vendors who sell said components...

I was checking on an order from Z1 Motorsports. I figure while I was on the phone why not ask about our little oil discussion. So I talked with one their guys that races drift cars and is part of the crew that prepares our cars (not to be confused with a GTR) for track events. He was familiar...

Well brother, I have no doubt that may be the case for the GTR. I'm saying that's not going to be the case with the Z. In reference to monitoring engine temps/press w/ alarms the first one that comes to mind is EcuTek.

That's a good question. I think I've seen some in car vids of people making pulls with a piggyback. The boost gauge showing 18/20 psi. Hopefully someone will jump in to clear it up.

Would it be fair to say if we're talking about charge temps that would be higher than normal due to air in the system the ECU would pull more timing than normal. Pulled/retarded timing = higher engine temp. Is it going to cause higher engine coolant temp? That hotter than normal heat exchanger...

I'll stand corrected on this but my understanding is the ECU counts and stores every time it gets flashed. With the piggyback it looks like that doesn't happen. With that said again, my understanding is the ECU has a flash frame feature that captures out of range data one being an over boost...

Question to people who run coilovers with lets say an 1 inch drop. How much does it decrease the suspension travel in the back compared to stock. Since the install and drop has anybody gotten into the bump stops. Not with this car but it's happened to me and other people I've known. Anyone...

It's written High to High, not high to low 9MM

Look, the manual is full of weasel words written by lawyers to satisfy CAFE and to show lower operating costs ie a smaller foot print. CAFE only applies to the USA. The rest of the world shows 30wt and up. 10k OCI= lower operating cost. When the OE refers to the life time of your car it just...
