    best way to splice ECU

    for now i just stripped a section off the wiring harness. I stripped a healthy length off the apex-i harness. I then "opened" up the wire on the engine harness so it resembled an oval shape. I slipped the end of the apex-i harness through that oval and wrapped it around the engine harness. I...

    best way to splice ECU

    installing my Apex-i right now, and i want to know the best way to splice my wires into my ECU harness. I can think of a couple of ways to do it but 1 method wouldn't be all that secure, and the other would require me to cut the wire, solder on a new piece of wire WITH the proper S-AFC wire and...

    Should I Hercules it?

    well being very stubborn and very impatient, i went ahead and installed my 580 PTE injectors, aeromotive FPR, lexus AFM and soon to install my S-AFC and wideband. HOWEVER, i left myself a nice full tank of 92 octane fuel. I didn't want to wait to install my goodies so i decided to rip it apart...

    best place to buy injectors

    titan seems to be a lot more expensive then the other vendors. IS there a specific reason as to why you would buy the injectors from them?

    best place to buy injectors

    NO EBAY because i don't trust the injectors there. I've checked all the major vendors and so far mvpmotorsports has my attention. I've also dealt with mvp before and they are awesome. SO who else should i look into if i want to buy RC 550cc injectors and clips??

    bulging battery

    so i bought this battery about 2 years ago and now it is already bulging out the sides. My first battery also suffered this bulge problem and i have no idea why they are doing it to me. I park the car for the winter and i do take the battery inside the house. I also trickle charge the...

    would a code affect my timing?

    alright so my base timing is at 15 degrees then. Time to pull it back a few degrees i guess.

    would a code affect my timing?

    i'm hitting fuel cut so i'm throwing code 34 which is abnormal turbocharger pressure. So today i checked the timing on my car with the diagnostic box jumpered. It was showing 15 degrees advanced. My question is, do i have to reset my ECU and wipe out code 34 before checking the base...

    Mounting Flexalite Fans

    at each corner of the rad there should be excess metal. Almost like a tab that runs vertically along the rad. I just drilled a hole in each corner, got some black zip-ties and fastened my flex-a-lites that way. So far its held for 2 + years with no problems.

    differential rebuild

    so my rear end whines, clunks, howls and is just one noisy bugger. I want to rebuild it but i know squat about differentials. I'm pretty sure i have the 3.9 gears (87 turbo, 5sp) and i want to know what parts i should source out and buy. I'm also going to decide whether to go with a 1piece...

    running lean

    no boost controller and yes i'm going to check my timing. Do you know if advanced timing will cause a lean condition as well as overboosting problems?

    running lean

    got the car out today and did a couple of fuel cut pulls. Then i pulled out a plug and it was white. I have done nothing to my car except DDP, exhaust, intake, BOV, electric fans, hardpipes and FMIC. I'm hitting fuel cut in every gear except for first gear. I hit it in 2nd gear in the higher...

    Moulding clips

    yes it shows the clips, but last time i think i bought some clips for an 89 from Toyota and they didn't fit in the moldings. The base part was too fat and the actually head of the clip was too low.....it's hard to explain. So i'd rather NOT go bak and and ask for 90+ clips just to see that...

    my car stinks

    i am losing some oil i find when i do oil changes. Probably 1/2 a quart or so. It could be also because i don't let it drain completely and that my driveway is also uneven. But one thing for sure is that i DO NOT overheat, i am not loosing any coolant and i do have the waterfall sound in...

    my car stinks

    it does not smoke at idle. To tell you the truth, sometimes it smokes under hard acceleration and sometimes it doesn't. At idle it doesn't smoke. Since i have a blitz BOV vented, my car will sometimes want to stall out. So if i rev it quickly in neutral and let off the gas the car will...
