    Charcoal Canister

    Please don't worry I'm not going to go answering anything anymore, on the off chance I may be wrong. A great environment, fearing to post incase you may be wrong. If you look at my posting history I clearly do not and have not done this before. It's not as if I go around claiming to know...

    Charcoal Canister

    The charcol canister is simply a prefilter for gas tank fumes before being re-feed back into the engine. You could put one back on, or you could simply cap that line going to your tank and get a vented cap. Doesn't really have anything to do with liking your fuel pump.

    Acrylic Spark Plug Valley Cover???

    Don't use acrylic, polycarb or lexan are better choices. They shouldn't yellow up on you unless some contaminent is heated into them. Also make sure they are nice and thick.

    Friend's 7mge won't start, he moves soon, help.

    Thats a good one I forgot, well no codes, but the check engine light just flashes constantly, with both ecu's. There is no pause or gaps in the flashes to seperate the numbers. Just constant and consistant flashes.

    Friend's 7mge won't start, he moves soon, help.

    Ok, good suggestions, yes I did the timing mark check. Yes I checked the AFM connection. But I have not yet checked the grounds between ECU and intake manifold. Good one, I'll check that for sure. But please keep em coming guys, as I said there is limited time before he leaves.

    Friend's 7mge won't start, he moves soon, help.

    Ok, here's the background on the car. It's a MKIII 7MGE. Originally he was just going to sell me this car really cheap. He has had it for over a year right now in it's current state. It's original motor went on it and he swapped in a JDM 7MGE and everything appears to be where it should be...

    Square cut gears = the transmission whine? What an incredibly beautiful backdrop that was for such an awsome run! Very nice.

    MKIII drifting

    Ya that was some damn fine drifting in my uneducated eye just before this post. But I'll also say that the first posts in this thread are only, about, say.......10 million time sbetter than I could do I'm sure. And everyone has to start somewhere, I'd say good for him, he's out there and...

    how to kill a $1000 turbo with a $5 part

    Is it just me, or perhaps the picture, but doesn't that turbine wheel look like it's been really, really hot? Like maybe too lean? I could be wrong and am no expert by any means, but it looks like it's been running lean. Of course perhaps I am just really used to looking at my exhuast...

    Cam Cover Baffle Removal

    epoxy works excellent, as does brake caliper paint. I just kept goinjg until it was filled up lay after layer. Epoxy works faster and less mess and chance of mistakes. I sorta just over filled mine and then sanded flat at the end. But I was going for a sorta polished smooth aluminium/chrome...

    Cam Cover Baffle Removal

    This is a seriously bad idea, getting them back in correctly and properly would be a nightmare. You can sand blast them with the baffles in. Once you are done blasting you just have to VERY VERY thourghly clean and re-clean them out until you are 100% certain you got every grain. Done it...

    Yes. This person is serious.

    I was going to point out that it was the "ultra rare" 4 cylinder 7m-gte also! ;) Hell, I'm the original owner of my 1990 also, and it now has a 2jz and ALOT of upgrades in it. As a special for the members of this forum for a limited time only I'll match this guys price. But wait there's more...

    Xbox 360 Peeps, RRoD Code 0020

    I had the exact same issues. I did do the overheat thing to it, without HD and honestly it worked perfectly without any further issues ever from the system. Actually I gotta be honest it is more stable than it ever was before. Never had any issues ever again with it and use it daily still...

    Ghetto Injector cleaning hypothesis

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFJlTfHyrUk I have done this myself with absolutely great success. Probably the best way that I know of to DIY injector clean. Only thing better would be to have them professionally cleaned and flow tested. But in a pinch the above works really well. And...
