Well said. :icon_bigg

If you got a R154 tranny, then jack up the car, secure it and pull of the driver side inspection plate and check for fluid in the bottom of the bell housing. The seals may have gone bad, Slave cylinders from advance is only $45.

BTW thank you guys for all the info and the pics. I feel a lot more confident looking for hardpipes now, especially with all the info. again THANK YOU!!

So a 45degree pipe should reach from the bottom of the turbo down to that metal elbow with an extension piece?

Yeah, seen those but will the bends be good in the kit or do I basically get the tubing and bend myself? btw... how do you bend it in the backyard??? Thanks for the help!!

So I went to my local Toyota/Scion dealership in town and asked about the downpipe for the turbo to the intercooler. Mine when I was putting it on was dryrotted and crumbled if squeezed. So I went to get a new pipe and they actually have it in stock for only $130 for one pipe. I've used the...

Ok dokey, I just got my sorta together and haven't fired it over yet so I'm gonna have to wait until spring when I know everythings running right. I'm from SC and wanna go so bad but I cant.

Well not really but still the engine bays dont run cool especailly on the turbo models, I was just wondering if anyone out there could point me in the right direction for relocating the coilpacks off the top of the 7m motor. Or has someone done a writeup on this topic already? I tried the holy...

Taste like spoiled milk :cry: Yeah, working on a budy's car and it's weird, just replaced the headgasket and everything and it still has milky oil.... it's weird :nono:

I'm glad someone posted about this, I'm the third owner of a 88 mkIII and I know the last owner had a junkyard motor put in, I kinda freaked out when I saw 6m on the crank while reassembling the mains, and rod bearings. And now I can sleep better at night knowing this thread clears it all up...

Alright guys thanks a lot for the feedback!

I'm wondering if someone can point me in the direction I need to go, or if anyone can help me. Background: Got a 88 Targa, 5-speed, Turbo for free. In the middles of recieving all the parts for the motor. Anyway, my dad keeps harping on me that I need to take the chasis via roll back to...

Hey Man, I'm going to assume you've run the Optima and this problem just came up. With this said, Get a battery charger and charge the Optima battery FIRST! No need in killing the battery leaving it discharged. Then when you toss it in and crank it up, be sure to have a volt meter or DVOM...

Hey, Speaking of the 'test pipe', could anyone recommend a brand, and where I could find one... I've been looking but I guess I'm not looking in the right place. Thanks a lot! Later....

Okay here is the deal. Picking up motor tomarrow, and I screwed around and didn't do research. I've done this on my current car (the geo) and it seemed to work fine. But should I even try to port match the intake, or even open it up? Well... I've already done the throttle body to the...

Hey Man, It depends on what you're hunting for. Performance- I'ld hit up raceengineering.com, they got racing bearing. Okayness (hehe :icon_bigg ) - local parts shop. Hope this helps. Later

Almost sounds like my SOHC Geo Storm, ran it open header for like a year. I wonder why I didn't make any friends that year :nono: ??? Anyway, its annoying to everyone, and cops, although the turbo knocks out a lot of resonates. Plus yours friends will probably tire of it and not wanna...

So probably best to just put up with twisting driveshafts? Just curious how much WHP(wheel horse power) you're putting down to twist a shaft. And where would you find a new one? Thanks for the reply

Hey, I'm Stephen from Spartanburg, SC. Just taking a year off from college, and I found the right guy and found my Red MKIII for FREE! I am fortunate, because I don't have much money at all. But I'm shooting for at least 350 at the wheels which should be simple from what I hear. Alright...
