    Oil Pressure...Mechanical or Electrical???

    What kind of Oil Pressure guages does everyone use? Mechanical or Electrical? I'm leaning more towards the electrical just because I don't want to worry about a leak in the cabin. Also where is the best place to mount the sender unit? Will it fit in the stock senders location? Or would it be...

    Fan Motors

    Hi I had a question about the two fan motors for my 7mgte. It seems the previous owner had cut the connectors of both fans, leaving a blue (hot wire?) and ground wire for both fans. Does anyone know how I can possible make these work? Or should I run it to a toggle switch so I can make them turn...

    Finally motor is in!

    After gathering parts, saving money, and long wee hours of the night I finally dropped my motor in my car. I still need to plug in everything, fill all my liquids and hook up various hoses. Hopefully everything goes good. Anyone have any insight as far as any precautions? The motor has been...

    Lower Bellhousing Dust Cover

    I must have confused you Bishop. I know the whole complete bellhousing has 2 covers for it. The "dust" cover im talking about goes between the transmission and engine at the bottom. It is bolted by two brackets which are bolted the block on both sides. It may just act as a dust shield but mine...

    how much is a clutch job

    Do the clutch job yourself dude. My motor is currently out of my car which was a plus and it only took me 20 minutes to install the clutch intself and put the tyranny and engine together.

    Lower Bellhousing Dust Cover

    Hi everyone does anyone know if the R154 comes with a lower transmission Dust cover? It is a thin plate that is "sandwiched" when the transmission bellhousing bolts to the engine brackets. I just completed a cltch install and it was pretty straightforward...however it seems that the dust cover...

    Boost pressures at altitude?

    You got the math part down, and it makes complete sense. An aftermarket boost guage would definately give you what you're looking for. Now it's just comes down to taste. :beer: Which brand?

    Oil Pressure Sending Unit

    that would be great if I could go off another tapped place in the block. Would these holes be blocked off by a plate? Or how would I know if a certain spot would be sufficient? Im thinking of just running an electric autometer guage that way I dont have to worry about the oil line leaking into...

    Oil Pressure Sending Unit

    After searching all day, I found a tool at NAPA which was a SST that removed the sender unit just fine. However, I'm running into another problem with hooking up an aftermarket mechanical oil pres. guage. According to another thread the Autometer opg is 1/8 npt and the threads on the jdm are...

    Oil Pressure Sending Unit

    Attached is the pic of the unit (thanks to SupralNL.com) I removed this unit from the block of a 7mgte that im replacing. However, the engine that im putting in looks like it has some kind of sending unit, but it doesn't have the spherical thing which is pictured...just a round grey thing with a...
