Blue and white wire triggers the relay for the auxilliary condenser fans. On the thermostat housing it goes to the bottom sensor n

I've been away from the market for a while. What is the best SS exhaust manifold for the 7MGTE? Features I am looking for are thick materials, no clearance issues for oil filter and down pipe, no cracking issues, quality welds. Any thoughts on who makes the best product. It's for a T4 turbo...

Havent driven my car musch this year but just noticed the bouncing needle and it bothers me to look at it. Do you need to pull out the speedo head to get at the inner cable or can you disconnect the cables under the car and pull it out from there? Is it usually the cable that is clower to the...

Good points. That's why I'd like to find someone who has installed one in their car to see if there are any clearance issues. If it were a $150 manifold I would probably just buy it and try it but if I bought this one I would be in for well over $500. Bit too steep of a price if I am not sure...

Looks like the Driftmotion manifold has the turbo it sitting a bit further back than the eBay manifold. Liked the forward mounted turbo to provide clearance for the down pipe. Most of the SS manifolds being sold look the same but he turbo mount position and 11 gauge, larger runner diameter...

While looking on eBay for a new T4 manifold for my 7MGTE, I see that CX Racing / CX Motosports is selling what seems to be a decent looking manifold...

Thx. Maybe try to recirculate the bov over the winter. Car has always done this but now that I think of it I had always been venting to atmosphere when this has occurred.

No it doesn't.

Not sure which one it is. I would assume that the muffler explosion would involve some flames? I have never had no one report flames from the exhaust. Would this then lead me to believe that it is truly a backfire? Can you comment on probable causes of either condition? Thx

Not sure what you mean by this. Can you explain? Thx

This has been haunting me for as long as I can remember but I thought I'd try to pick everyone's brain one more time. My car continues to backfire when I shift gears. It actually backfires when I get back on the throttle after shifting slowly especially at low RPM's. If I shift quickly and...

No oil leaks down accordion hose. Car ran well with original afm then suddenly failed throwing a code. Threw in a spare used one and car ran fine. Drove for about 3000 miles without issue and then one night coming up to a stop light the car stalled and the check engine light came on. Threw a...

After driving on the same afm for over 20 years, all of a sudden I have gone through two afm's in about 3,000 miles. Bad luck or is there something that might be causing this frequent failure. Al wiring looks good and afm body is solidly mounted to the wheel well. Any ideas? Thanks

My Koyo aluminum rad fit fine in my '89 7MGTE car with the following exceptions (which were expected): - had to trim the bottom rubber mounts to shorten them as the aluminum rad is taller than stock - fan shroud mounts ok at top but had to fabricate special brackets to attach it at the...

I have already tested the intake piping and am 99% confident that there are no leaks before the throttle body. It's my intention to test the manifold etc this w/e. Thanks
