Thanks Ali...

I released this after the case....but not a big deal.....to replace with newer parts...

Im still not sure what the issue is....but its intermittent all the time...sometimes it runs and drives fine and other times the AFR are all over the place......

Im thinking maybe a injector is getting clogged or not operating properly....but im at the point where I am ready to build the fuel system and go to stand alone

ProEFI just massively dropped prices. Here in Chicago we're having a lot of fun with the EMU. Few guys running them and I will be as well on my built 1j/
Yes i had the SC300 axles and GS300 side by side.....the GS300 were much bigger when I measured them with a digital caliper.

Fuel system and Standalone will be my next items to tackle....but need to run this half a tank of gas out...

Any more info about proefi....how much did the prices drop?

I ended up deciding on Infinity, but ProEFI is a solid choice too, especially if prices dropped.

Thanks...

No I havent messed with the SC....it has to be something fuel related...either injectors, pump, or bad fuel filter or something...

But im just going to start building out fuel system....and go from there

I just sent a message to induction performance, they quoted me 3070.00 shipped everything included even base tune for their ProEFI 128 kit for the IS300 that's about 1700 less then the old prices and includes shipping from FL to PA. I can't imagine a get swapped SC would cost much different.
