OK, try this. You replaced the relay under the dash but have you tried the MAIN RELAY in the engine compartment. This relay supplies power to the ECU and may be the cause of all your problems. You can remove it from the system and just use a piece of wire to jump the connections to check. 1...

SOCC, the first thing that you need to do is undo what you first did. Remove all power connections to your fog lights, this should eliminate this as the cause of your problem. If the funny things are still going on, check your battery voltage, if it is low, charge it. Where did you tap for your...

Try this link. http://oldschool.supracentral.com/htm/hardwire.htm This is for the hardwire of the 87-88 i believe but if you sort out the pins and match it to your year it should be a good starting point. Also have you tried www.hksusa.com to see if they have a harness for your year, they...

^ Yah, to my understanding, the exh cams are the same. The intake only moves the power band up on the scale but does not increase horsepower. This is all from what I have been reading from all the other post on the subject. I don't know how true it is though as I haven't changed out the cam to...

89turbo, Thanks PM sent.

For ten dollars more per piston, go for the JE pistons.

Well I spun another rod bearing and since there is no machine shop out here in Guam that I trust enough to regrind my crankshaft (bearing of #4 fused into the journal) does anyone have any sugestions of where I can get a quality remanufactured one. The last time I spun a bearing I replaced the...

Hey guys, I don't know if this has been brought up yet but which of the two is better. I have the Fcon in right now with the GCC, rev cut and speed cut but i always seem to run rich on high boost. I also have a NOS Rebic that I picked up in Japan while I was deployed there. So any input based...

True, but you gotta admit that the shit seal good.:icon_bigg

Or you can use high temp RTV (red in color) it works for me and has never leaked.

Ok, I got it, just follow the TSRM. Thanks guys.

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone can give me the torque specs for ARP rod bolts. Just got another rod knock and after dropping the oil pan I found that the nuts for the #4 rod had worked it's way loose. I inspected the rod journal for taper and out of round as well as the crank. Thank God it...

I think he means "Loctite". I would not do this. You would have to remove the head bolts one at a time just to apply it and then do the whole retorque over, you risk head warping and such. Just run through the heat cycles and retourqe. But then again thats just my view.

Sorry, no pics to post, my digital camera was stolen six months back. The break in the shaft was contained to the bearing area. The exhaust side impeller is still intact with the main turbo but just flops around. You can spin either side independant of each other. I don't want to mess with it as...

UPDATE---Pulled the intake hose to check the shaft play on the turbo and found out that the shaft that connects the two impellers broke in half. $#!*, This unit was only on the car for three month and never saw anything over 6psi of boost as I was still breaking the motor in. I purchased it...

Thanks again, I'll check for the boost leak and the turbo over the weekend.

By the way, Thanks for all the help and Happy Holidays to all.

Ok, I understand that I would be running rich, but what about the oil in the tail pipe?

"FULL BLACK" and killing everything in sight. It is so sad, I just got this car back together after busting a rod around two years ago. While I was in the motor I decided to just build it to take a beating. Ross pistons, Toga high performance main/rod bearings, ARP main,rod and head bolts, HKS...

Thanks, I'll check on those items over the weekend. I don't understand though how a boost leak will make such a huge amount of smoke and I mean HUGE to the point that you can't see anything behind the car (talk about James Bond.) The blow off valve maybe, (the lost of metered air will causes a...
