The 5wled one. Looks kinda like a spin star(Metallica logo). Many will work and the brightness isn't an issue if you buy or make a pwm to dim.

Yep -- already been down that road with that back one on my son's NA. They're both a PITA! Replaced the front one today so I'm at least back on the road. :-/
Those hoses are on the list of things that I'll change whenever I'm in the area, or the engine is out.
Though... Blowing out that hose behind the water neck was what allowed me to convince my wife that I should be allowed to swap in the 7M-GTE.

Finally got some clutch parts in direct from land of the rising sun!!!!!

You must be speaking of the short part of the cable... the long part is a PAIN, at least in my case it was.BoostMonger;1837735 said:replaced my broken short speedo cable in 15 min

Guys, I seem to recall a trick about loosening all the mounts, and lifting the rear of the transmission, to tilt the back of the engine up and forward a bit. That would make getting to that hose and fitting MUCH easier.Hotwheelsjr;1837769 said:
Hopefully someone can confirm, I replaced mine with the head off, wasn't hard there.
Well I've been having this leak from my shifter housing (The big rubber gasket between the tranny and the housing) After a whole lot of time I was able to remove all six bolts I was able to remove the shifter housing and pull it through the whole for the shifter. Tomorrow i'll be replacing the shifter housing gasket, all six grommets, the shifter bushing(Toyota Green Bushing), the bushing on the shifter itself and the shifter gasket.
Hopefully she'll be nice and stiff and no more leaks.

Installed my Aeromotive AFPR and did the break-in runs. One thing I did notice is that the Aeromotive behaved exactly like the XS Power one when trying to dial back my fuel pressure and also when hooking up the vacuum line....so I'm not so sure the knock-off is actually bad... *shrug* Still have a couple minor issues to work out, but the bruiser lives and drives like a champ so far.
Almost got the head off but then realized i do not have the correct tools to remove the ARP Studs from the block so i have to wait until monday.
Oil seems pretty dirty but no signs of a blown head gasket yet.
Does anyone else think i was running a little lean by this photo... My AFR's and the puff of black smoke when i got on it say other wise though let me know your thoughts.

I know :-( but its okay its just a CT26 60-1 not to special.
Do you think this could be my boost drop off problem ?
I believe that's what Devin did, with good results too. External waste gates are a good investment. Keep in mind though, that this is one of 3 engine things you do NOT want to cheap out on. The other two being the turbo and fuel system.Turbo Habanero;1838913 said:

Yeah I know. Engine parts are always name brand for me. Hints why I have 2 jobs
Thinkin about the tial 44mm or whatever they re named it. Plus it will match the bov
I replaced my hatch bump stops. I was suprised by how much the old ones were compresed compared to the new ones. Also, for anyone else who is planning to replace the hatch bump stops, the screws on the bump stops that are on the body are also 8mm bolts. They are really hard to remove because Toyota put thread locker on the screws.
I also replaced my rusty battery tie down with new Toyota one.

I finally replaced that damn fuel door latch. It's not a hard task, just getting to it is a total pain.
Changed out my oil filter to see if that was causing the gauge to read zero....wasn't that lucky, so still have to put a mech. gauge on it when I have more than 5min to spare... *smh*
I finished resealing the oil pan after dropping the subframe. Also had to replace the motor mounts that ripped in half, replaced the steering rack bushings, water pump and radiator. It was a long weekend spent under the car, but well worth it to get the car back on the road.
