Don't worry about the dyno pull. It'll be fine. Zeech. Like you never run 'er up to 5,500 at full throttle? How do you merge onto the highway? Mine has 248,000 miles on the orignal head gaskets and I don't baby the engine. It has b

I would be in for sure, but it sounds like this is taking a long time to develop.
You may count me in.
Friend Epic Ed refered me. Not sure how you would get a hold of all of us for payment, hopefully there is an email link somewhere on our profiles for you to contact if these are ready for sale....

Count me in, as wanting to buy one of these by the time it comes out... and send my wife an email telling her I will do all the honeydos if she lets me get this.
For all these people worried about testing an old motor... what's your problem? Yes, I know testing one old motors is not the most scientific approach... but consider:
They need a motor to test, one was offered. No motor = no tests = no product for YOU.
If you want to provide a better or additional motor for testing, see this post
If it finally gets to production, and it works on his motor but not on yours... well... just remember it was tweaked to motors like his, because he let them use his. This mod works on other motors it was designed for as well, so the basic mod is still a valid one. Go buy some more Seafoam.
What un-used motor are you wanting to put this thing on anyway? Most of us have 100k on our motors, and will have 200k by time this comes out (300k if you keep complaining...just kidding.)

Tack me onto the list of potential buyers as well, don't want to end up empty handed once it hits production. Perhaps an increased demand will give em a bit more motivation in getting this project completed

I am not trying to be negative about it but I just dont see it happening for the small number of people who want it.
Are there any other Toyota truck/4Runner forums that we could point people with 3.0's to this thread. We need all the intrest we can get.

Just got and email back from CPE. Here it is:
"I do apologize we are stretched to thin here. We will have to reconsider development of this system in February. I do apologize."
I'm going to let this thread fade into the archives and if they get back to me I let you all know.

I don't know about shady. Just remember this is a new company with 4-5 guys working there. They can't devote everything to the company until it starts to make some money, have to put a roof over their head and food on the table. The kits they have done have been good so far. just my 2 cents

If I had a 3.0 I would start doing some research. Find out how the stock AFM works (I think it's just a potentiometer that varies voltage as the door opens) and compare that to say the hotwire MAF used in the 3.4 V6. What one would need is a translator that converts the MAF signal to a voltage signal so the stock 3vz-e ECU can read it. www.maftpro.com makes such a part for MKIII Supras and DSMs that "translates" a standard GM hotwire or MAP sensor output to a Karman-Vortex airflow reading in Hz that the AFM is expecting.

(i foget the name of it ill have to go digging through my PM's and email.) If I get 200 Ill go nuts working on the 3.slow to make it 3.notsoslowwithaAFM hehe

Ive long wanted to bolt this
directly to my TB. I mean the bore size looks almost identical (not that you can really tell)
but like they say i have always assumed there was something more that was needed to turn the signal this puts out to what our flapper puts out. how hard can it be!
