    Guide to installing the 89+ stock front lip/spoiler?

    Yeah you can work your way up from 220 to 2000 or 3000 grit to get it looking smooth again (use like 3 grits in between, ie 220, 400, 600, then 1000)

    Hitting cut around 12 psi

    Maybe one of the gurus can explain it better than I can, but I remember the same thing being told to me at some point. When the turbo is blowing the same max cfm in a 2" pipe as opposed to a 3" pipe, it's the same amount of air, but at a higher psi. It's not having to work as hard in a 3" pipe...

    Hitting cut around 12 psi

    Also keep in mind that the more volume you add to your intake, intercooler, and exhaust, the less psi you are going to see for the same horsepower.

    Ngk spark wire difference between turbo & n/a

    N/A wires are going to be longer as they have to go over to the distributor. Turbo wires only have to go to the coils on top of the cam covers. Probably different terminals too, as turbo wires have a plastic clip that holds them onto the coils.

    The Small Questions Thread

    Yeah the pipe itself isn't magnetic. Though it might be common practice to use regular steel on the bungs since it's easier for them to drill/tap.

    The Small Questions Thread

    Doing some work on my car and a bolt seized/snapped on the factory O2 bung location, stainless Ebay 3" downpipe (was lazy and foolishly used bolts instead of studs). Took it to a local machine shop and guy was not wanting to work on it, saying stainless is a PITA (first he thought it was chrome...

    89+ Shine Auto JDM Front Lip Interest?

    They could make US spec ones as well, using basically the same mold. Bet they'd sell a lot now that they are discontinued.

    The Small Questions Thread

    Hmm, so the turbo ECU probably regulates the VSV differently, since absolute pressure becomes positive under boost? -edit- Oh yeah, no vacuum in the manifold, no vacuum at the VSV lol duh. I'm trying to test for voltage at the VSV after repairing a broken connector, and am not getting anything...

    The Small Questions Thread

    Couldn't find this in the TSRM So the ECU sometimes signals the VSV2 (vacuum switching valve) to cut engine vacuum to the fuel pressure regulator. I just don't know when or why it does this? I'm thinking - At wot (wide open throttle) to increase fuel pressure to max - When engine is cold to...

    89+ Shine Auto JDM Front Lip Interest?

    I got one of the last 89+ ones from the dealer about a year ago, was like $380. Still scared to put it on lol. Tried using flexible filler primer and black bumper coating to restore my original, but the coating cracked in several places after a couple weeks :( Probably shouldn't have used the...

    Boss Jr. 57 Trim Sleeper

    Wow nice work. I have the same head unit/amp in my '92 and am very pleased with the sound. Say, you wouldn't by chance want to take a look at mine, see why it won't eject CD's? (I'd pay you)

    DIY Divorced Down pipe 7mgte DDP. What metal alloys do I use?

    I think people mark up their ads when they are running low, to prevent running out and having to remove the ad. I've seen it on numerous exhaust pieces, where it's marked up so high no one in their right mind would buy it lol.

    More Steering Angle for FREE

    Just grind off the original post, make it look legit and rub some dirt on it.. lol They prob. won't even notice. Maybe someone like IJ will chime in on the effectiveness of using a stepped drill bit to make the tapered hole. I'm not sure myself.

    Anyone know how to get ahold of Tokico Illumina II TEMS shocks?

    59959 is a Magnaflow universal high-flow cat. OCD welds the flanges on for our application. I have this one too and the welds look good. I passed emissions with no upstream cat :)
