Cilver,
3sgte 3rd gen is claimed to have 242 cv = 245 bhp; dynoed stock it has 238/240 cv.
This same engine has 255 bhp in japan, only because their pump gas is 101ron.
I did not know that, and now im glad i got jdm ecu

should i be glad ? is it producing more power because ecu allows more timing on 101ron ? or because different a/f maps are used on jdm ecu ?
I don't think it depends on the ecu, jdm or not:
every T20 ecu is TCCS, the system that, after an ecu reset, controls the fuels you have in the tank, applying its original timing map ( more advanced, for Jap's fuels ) and then applying a retard trim till the ecu hears no more dets with the knock sensor... that's way, after a reset, the car seems to have a unusual behaviour...

If you'll use atf dexron 2 oil in your gbox, you won't have a tranny loss of 17%, but around 14%.
You are full of good info Wolf

is there any disadvantage to using atf dextron ? will it be safe to use it on a daily driven car ? where can i get it ?
Me ? Good info ??
Someone else in the list told me I give "false informations" !!!! And I was just reporting what Engine Eng. Bells wrote on a book !!!!
I had those info from Saf: on his ST185's and his Supra's manuals it's written he can use ATF D2 in the gbox, and given that ST205 gbox is very similar, I followed his advice and use it for 80.000 kms even in my car with NO problems.
He says that it's not necessary to use an E.P. GL4 or GL5 oil in this kind of boxes...
ATF Dexron2 is a automatic trans/power steering oil... and it should be better if you find the old D2 instead of the new D3... changing gears is faster and lighter with this oil.
It's also very cheap.
Bye...
