Tons O' questions

[madseacow]

got the poopra up and running and am now just working out the bugs, heres a few. oil press and colant temp gauge not working. only running 6 psi (was originaly an auto so is the waste gate set to 6?) pops alot when not under throttle (have nothing behind test pipe cat) also since sogi's down can anyone tell me what's involved in a head re-torque (I bought arp head bolts cause some time some where I figure I'll need 'em) also anyone try the thermo tec turbo wrap? is it worth it? cause the turbo heat is making the intercooler pretty useless.

I only know the answer to one of your questions: Yes, 6 psi is what the auto's run for boost.

your OP and water temp gauges arent working cause you dont have them hooked up the right way, or the connections are loose, or there is a break in those wires some where.

wow, I was wondering the same thing about the auto boost, I never knew the auto only put out 6psi. I did the 5spd swap and I'm only getting 6 lbs. how can I fix that? just shim the wastegate? or mbc? at idle and low rpm in any gear my gauge says -4 is that normal too?

 

[I<3Supras]

Opps sorry had to edit thought you were running a aftermarket which you are not. Man this heat is getting to me... yes -4 vac is normal at idle

vacuum is normal when your engine is not under load. (That's the correct terminology, right?)

as for the 6 PSI on the auto tranny, I thought that was due to somthing in regards to the mechanics of the tranny, not the WG spring?

 

[madseacow]

well I'm running an NA tranny, speaking of... my clutch is slipping (new na clutch) is there any way to get a stronger clutch in there (will the T clutch fit?) or should I start shopping for a tranny? also I've got way less vac then -4 at idle. with throttle (not load) I get down to 20 sometimes.

 

[lagged]

call horsepower freaks and tell them you want a clutch for your w58, ask what your options are. despite what it may seem like on the online shopping section, you have many options.

 

[madseacow]

ok, I've been doing some reading... what was I supposed to do during the "break in period" I didn't drop the clutch or anything but it's slipping at high RPM shifts

is this true did i just shim my wastegate for nothing???

Jee, thats alot of questions...let me get my wheelbarrow handy:

Nope. Just a lighter spring in the actuator. The auto trans is weaker than the manual, so Toyota did this to make the auto trans last longer.

I knew it was on the engine cause I don't have the tranny
