My build and troubleshooting has been on hold as I gear up to deploy. Ordering parts while I am gone and working on it when I get back.

-Different 1J ECU to see if thats my problem or have caps replaced in my old one. I think thats my problem.

Temperature effects electronics. Just like a failing ignition module on a Ford. Runs great till it heats up, then dies. Let it sit and cool and it will run again till it heats up and dies again. Rinse and repeat. Have either of you had a chance to actually pull the ecu out and look at the caps? I'm curious as well

I am in the process of going Single been tired of driving the car with the Twins, it was boring at one point and can't hang with my local SC buddy's they are too fast for me so i needed to step my game up a little, got tired of being left behind hahaha.
Can't wait till you get back to the State..

All I have to do is beat my old boss's G35. Everyone else got orders and left. Need to hit up Raliegh when I get back to see what they have. I am going to push the twins pretty damn hard, hell if you don't need yours anymore, I could test em out.
If I jack em up just go single. Just deploy again to pay for it all. Iknow there are some guys in NC that like to run, just haven't found em yet. Going to make that trip up there, just need to get back first.

Damn You can have the Twins, I will keep them for you till you get back, at first i was thinking about swapping the USDM Turbo but at the end i will spend as much money as going Single.
There are a few fast SC and a lot Fast Supras so u better step your game up or get your feelings hurt lol.
The twins won't cut it for my power goal.
The rear one is already blown.

Sweet appreciate it man. Now I know what I am working with. See what kind of boost Voodoo I can work. Trying to get ahold of a guy named Cihan in Australia for a map for my ultimate, his site doesn't work over here.
