    Backfiring and bouncing at 3k BUT ONLY ON A COLD START

    Idle air control valve possibly? Remove the two 12mm bolts and check the screen underneath the IAC valve. Pull it out and blast it with some Air Intake/Carburetor cleaner and reinstall. Hope this helps.

    finally!!! i can weld aluminum from home

    Anyone have any feedback on the Miller Diversion 165? Been wanting to buy a machine to teach myself on, but have held off because of the price of TIG equipment. I don't want to attempt welding AL without a TIG machine (even though others have clearly done it without an AC setup), and want a...

    Is there anyone rebuilding Wiring Harnesses?

    Hahahahahhaha. Someone does. They're called "The Stealership." At least they told me they could get one and quoted some price so ridiculous I don't even remember what it was. Have you thought about just using both sides of a slightly different OEM connector for the O2 sensor wiring...

    Is there anyone rebuilding Wiring Harnesses?

    That sounds like a lot for a MS setup. Is it MS3 PnP? And did you buy an aftermarket boost controller with it or just a solenoid that the MS controls? Just curious. Pull-a-Part is your friend for connectors and such.

    How to Replace a MKIII Driveshaft Carrier Bearing for $50

    Just replaced mine with an OEM part, but will tuck this away for future reference. Awesome post.

    Big injector help

    I don't like to speculate on hp numbers. It's a lot to do with tuning. If you look at 2543Arvin's signature, he says he's making close to 375whp (378) at around 17psi with his setup. My car makes 384hp/372tq @ 14.5psi on a T04S (60-1) and an AEM. I think those numbers are pretty much in line...

    For Speaker Sizes and Questions Click Here

    I removed the rear pods and cut out the factory 5" mounting flange so that there was a square opening. I then used Liquid Nails to glue in a square piece of 3/4" MDF with a 5" cutout for a 5.25" midrange speaker (hole smaller than actual cone diameter). Not a lot of work and the end result is...

    Big injector help

    Why run 850s? So you can say that you have 850cc injectors? Even with MS and E85, what's the point on a CT26 setup? Seems like a lot of work to retrofit a fuel system just to keep the stock turbine. You make a point regarding the timing, but the SAFC doesn't really "pull" timing, it just...

    To paint or not to paint

    Mine don't leak either. No Loctite, no RTV, just proper torque and re-torque.

    Big injector help

    I ran a Lex AFM + Denso 680s with a Neo for a while. No real issues. The SAFC will remove up to 50% fuel (someone correct me if I am wrong here). I have an AEM standalone now and sequential injection, but the LEX AFM and 550s are perfect for a CT26 setup (any trim). I currently have a NIB...

    a lil puter help?

    You are referring to third-party email messages and not SM Private Messages, correct?

    To paint or not to paint

    I vote black, but whatever you want. I can't see much of anything amidst all my turbo plumbing. A lighter color would make it easier to see any leaks, I suppose. Am I missing something with the green here? Am I to believe that everyone's doing it?

    Removing multiplex from 7MGTE for less than $200

    Yes you do. I just wanted to emphasize that this is easily overlooked, and Toyota's numbering is not what I consider to be the logical order. ---------- Post added at 01:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ---------- On a related note, did anyone experience a higher idle rpm after...

    Removing multiplex from 7MGTE for less than $200

    Wiring issues FTW. I bet I rewired my igniter six different ways before I realized that the coils were numbered 1-3-2 and not 1-2-3. This confused the tuner as well, who then got me second guessing my original configuration (which turned out to be correct).

    Throttle body coolant line question

    Not sure why I didn't find that thread first. What causes this (intake icing) to happen? IC charge temperatures? That can't be it, otherwise the lines wouldn't be necessary on the NA motors. I am thinking of bypassing these connections. I live in Atlanta. Sometimes it gets frosty here...

    Article: 7M-GTE Egnine Information

    Toyota never did a recall on the improper HG torque specs, so maybe you should blame them. I have heard that the OEM HG and (new) OEM bolts work fine for most engines, provided that the bolts are torqued (and re-torqued) to the correct spec of 74-80 ft/lbs. Even the motors with improperly...
