    Finding leaks in the turbo?

    Ok so I'm still working on finding this elusive leak on my car. I assumed the turbo could be a possibility and it could still be likely since when I took off the IC today it had some oil in it. The thing is I want to know if there is a definitive way to identify a turbo leak while the turbo is...

    Crankcase hose

    Is there anywhere else I can find the hose that goes from the crankcase to the valve covers other than Toyota? The one right behind the alternator that goes from the block to the valve covers. $35 for a hose is a bit steep.

    Safc problem

    Ok my friend and I tried hooking up the safc yesterday on my 87 7mgte and I can't get anything to show up on the display. We soldered everything except for the air flow readings which are on male/female connectors. Everything shows that the safc is getting power but nothing shows up on the...

    More Oil Leaks

    As of right now I'm just looking for some more suggestions on what to check. I have an oil leak but I'm having trouble locating it. Someone suggested an exhaust cam seal so I haven't gotten to that just yet. The leak only seems to show up when I'm out driving the car, so at idle I can't get...

    Blueish White smoke out the tailpipe

    Ok so I know that means I'm burning oilbut it just seems strange. Well let me start at the beginning. So I kept finding a slight bit of oil on the intake of my turbo, maybe a drop or two so I figured I was getting blowby from the PCV. Well I vent the crankcase to the ground from a hose until...

    Can the CPS cause an oil leak?

    Ok so for some reason I always have an oil leak coming from my passenger side engine bay. It's a small leak but it's always there. The thing is when I drive the oil hits my fan and sprays it only on the passenger side. So tracing it is almost impossible at this point. I've been replacing things...

    Clevite Bearings

    Ok I couldn't find a clear answer when I searched. But are the Clevite 77 bearings the same ones they stock normally at most auto parts stores or only special order from certain places. I ask cuz I can get them for about half price at napa( hookup) instead of going to toyota. So figured I'd...

    Just a few problems

    Ok so first I replaced the wiring harness with another, not brand new but in much better condition than my last. I took the throttle off and set it using a digital multimeter so the code 41 I was getting has not come back yet. So I am now trying to set the timing correctly. I checked the...

Now my car idles too low and dies sometimes and backfires every once in a while probaly once or twice every half...

    Cam positioning

    Ok I've been trying to figure out what's up wiht my timing because it never seems to stay perfect for more than two weeks. I was looking at the tsrm and it say the cam nose should be pointing up at TDC. Mine does not but the timing marks are lined up with the notches when I check this. Is this...

    Oil Pressure sender threading?

    Does anyone know what the threading for the Oil Pressure sender is? I'm working on a 1/2 na-t and I'm sorting out the turbo drain issues. I need to find fittings to make the line for the drain big enough to accomodate the oil flow. Thanks
