So... How old are you and do you watch too much Nascar?
There is no restrictor plate. Check your other thread for more info. |

You need to talk to a 'fuel injection' experienced mechanic.
If you are not turbo, you'll spend a ton of $$$$ to get over 300hp out of a N/A car. Turbo cars can get 300+ hps reasonably $$.

I am still trying to find the information on the valve in the intake that opens after a certain rpm that enhances torque at lower rpms and opens for greater flow at higher rpms for more upper end power. So, in a way it is a restrictor plate, but not for the same reasons that NASCAR uses it.
As for the other comments, try to get 850 reliable hp out a pushrod V-8. Most of these guys have college degrees and more. What is wrong with watching too much racing? Better than watching a bunch of overpaid babies toss a ball of what ever shape around and tell the rest of us to go f*&k ourselves because we aren't as good as they are, you can have them. I'll take too much racing anytime! Don't let any of these guys intimidate you from asking any question here, most of us care enough to not insult you here. Russ |

lol I watch racing, just not nascar.
There is no such thing as 850 reliable HP. The misinformation and posting guesses on this site is hilarious. It would not fly on any other forum, so enjoy! I'll help, I suppose. as for the "restrictor plate" as you refer to it, that's not what it's called. The 7MGE uses a Y-Pipe after the throttle body that opens a secondary butterfly with vacuum at a set RPM. Toyota calls it ACIS; Acoustic Control Induction System. For lack of a better explanation by my own words, I'll borrow Jong's explanation from SF. Quote:

ok. if you scroll up, the question was answered.
I'll re-answer it. THERE IS NO RESTRICTOR PLATE. My question was relevant to what moswal was describing. Do yourself, and all of us a favor by doing what mrnickleye suggested. Find a mechanic that has experience with fuel injected vehicles. I can't believe that a mechanic suggested you have a restrictor plate. It's completely absurd of anyone in this day and age to even entertain that thought. |
