Its his car, let him modify it however he wants. This "because it costs more it must just be better" BS most supra owners have is really annoying. 80% of the people that see the lip on the front of his car will have no idea how much it cost, but they will know it makes the car look better. IMO...
I register the car in Amador county, so smog is only required on title transfer. And since i bought the car not running the smog is up to me. Yes if i still have issues with the new cats and it smells strange ill bite the bullet and get a wideband as ill be able to use it on w.e. engine i have...
I do have a small leak in my intake manifold that i will be buttoning up tomorrow, but other than a knock code it has no codes and no issues i know of. The compression is perfect and the power is all there. I'm saying its running rich by just my nose, maybe supras just smell different than other...
Good info jetjock. But i know i don't have any major leaks, and i know he said o2 as i questioned him immediately on it. The car idles, drives and boosts perfectly, which leads me to think its not lean. It actually smells pretty rich to me as well at idle. He did say that if he had more time...
Doesn't the cat use the o2 coming out of the engine and use it to get rid of the other toxins? That is what the smog shop owner told me in better terms than i used, and as he has been doing smog for over 10 years and been a tech for 30, im gonna just guess and say he knows his emissions stuff...
No i have no idea if its factual or not, i'm just reapeating what he told me. I honestly don't doubt him(he told me that a bunch of CHP officers are now taking the visual inspection classes that he takes) but I'm sure they only take your car and auction it under EXTREME circumstances(street...
Because apparently the CHP(California highway patrol) is beginning to train officers for visual inspection right on the side of the road. And since my MBC is mounted on the strut tower it would cause them to confiscate the car. Not impound, they just take the car and sell it at auction. But...
So i have a 89 turbo. It is 100% stock besides:
-3" CX intake pipe with the stock AFM and HKS filter
-3r muffler(rest is stock)
-hard pipes with a XS bov
-mbc
The car is throwing a TPS and knock code. I went and adjusted the tps with a multimeter today, but its still throwing the code. I...
I am installing a viper 5901 remote start into my 89 turbo targa supra. I need some help figuring out where some of the wires connect.
These are the wires i am unsure of how to connect:
-White/Brown Flex parking light relay 87A
-Violet starter output (car side of starter wire)..[I'm...
