IIRC st185 coilovers with a spacer or something work for st165's mine has a gen 2 turbo and some other little things. mainly just a daily for the winter

Somebody has added a aftermarket temp sensor to the turbo inlet 7mgte engines from 87-92 have the intake temp sensor inside the afm housing My guess would be the IAT sensor inside afm went bad(common) so somebody tried to fix the problem Instead of replacing the AFM they put an aftermarket...

Holy F you are still alive lol I sold my grey alltrac, bought a 91 supra turbo and just bought another 88 st165 for the winter :)

Ok so head is almost done. Just need's assembled and shimmed Also if money allows it there will be some BC stage 2 cams as well(crossing fingers) Going to order arp headstuds and Titan MHG this coming friday

on my 7m i drilled a hole in water neck and tapped for sensor

No problem At 1 time i had a Prosport electric water temp gauge IIRC i hooked it up to my 87 oem temp sensor and the gauge worked lol

Why yes you can. For a price :) It started out as a simple valve job, mill and reshim. He has since decided he wants to do some major work on porting it. He estimates 80-100hrs in it just for porting lol. Now i may have to go for more hp :)

So my head is almost done Getting the following: Milled Wicked port job(by a friend with 1k hp 2j who built his motor lol) 3 angle exhaust cut 5 angle intake cut Comp cam valve springs(BBC inner springs)

resistance is more then likely different for the gauge readings you will need to install correct temp sensor for the gauge

Just to specify "MY SETUP" Im 2nd owner of the car with 70k miles I was running 23psi out of the stock ct26(was past its effiency) To my knowledge stock headbolts where never retorqued(original owner did not mention this to me when we discussed previous maintenance/repairs) Some 7m's have been...

really? i killed my 91 alternator after leaving running lights on all night my optima held up but sucked the life out of the alt ended using my old alt from my 87 the one one my 87 was smaller in size....IIRC i believe i had to change B+ terminal(post)

Yup did the same thing Power washed engine bay to remove 20+ yrs grime/dirt build up Started up and ran like poo Found spark plug galley full of water Used shop vac and replaced wires Ran perfect after replacing wires

Run her til she blows!!!! lol I did 400hp on stock headgasket and headbolts...BHG now but due to failing fan clutch If its not your daily driver then yes i would go ahead and do MHG and arp's just to be safe I have heard good about Titan MHG's. Its what i will be using.

you can run a neo IIRC there was a few neo's that had to be sent back to be reprogammed? (im not 100% sure on this)

Do you have correct wideband selected? What do you have boost enrich. set at? Mine was doing the same thing but im running stock injectors Purchased A1000 afpr and set base pressure to 42psi...ran good til walbro began to die after 6 months lol Also i increased boost enrich to IIRC 1.4 or 1.6

Im running maft pro in speed density(best mod i have done yet) There's so many different features you can adjust and parameters to set timing, boost, fuel(i have yet to mess with timing control) 23psi here on stock ct(yes i know its past its limits) Depending on boost level i would have a 12:1...

So cylinder head is at Phillips Racing getting milled, multi angle valve job, reshim and comp cam BBC inner springs installed Now just need to order arp headstuds

Im a mechanic. I talk to everyone of the customers car's that i work on. Problem with service writers are they dont put in all the necessary info. Like today i had a truck come in. In the work order notes it said "noise while driving". So i called the customer and found the noise is only when in 4wd

With stock intercooler i would say so Sorry to hear about the previous owner's lies My old 87 was suppose to have wiseco's, eagle rods, mhg and arp headstuds Had the arp's and mhg but block wasnt decked or head milled

Running that high off boost out of the 57trim on stock cooler will raise intake temps I personally would keep boost around 12 until you get a bigger intercooler What are you using as far as a tuner to reach 21psi w/o hitting fuel cut?
