EXACTLY !!!!!!!!! the weather just turned nice, and my hood came up (just looking.) Maybe I'll put a blower in there, then go blow the doors off a few mustangs and Z's, till the motor blows up.:biglaugh:

I wrote about this just the other week. Years back I had very good success with the setup you describe, on Ford and Chvey V8's. Instant starting, better gas mileage, more HPs. So....2 years ago I bought the setup for my '89 N/A. It never worked right. I tried new parts (under warranty)...

Won't turn over...means the engine does not crank, like no starter. Is that what you mean?? Or does it crank, but won't start???

Tin Snips are your friend. Sears has a 3 piece set for $15. I just used a sharp punch and a piece of wood to 'punch' the holes for bolts to pass thru. Galvanized sheet metal from Lowe's is like $6.

If you factory system is working properly (no BHG) you won't have (or get) air bubbles in the system. Once you burp the system correctly the first, your done. I replaced my head gasket 1 year ago. No bubbles, no 'waterfall' sounds, etc. AND.....where you gonna put that thing, "higher than...

There is no 'code' for a bad cat. That started with OBD II system in '96. The 02 after the cat measures cat efficiency. California car? It uses an EGR temp sensor. maybe ??? that?? bad??? sets the code??

They do have them, $140 ish. I made mine out of galvanized sheet metal from Home Depot, for about $10.

LMAO:biglaugh: PS...but we make it to the end cause it don't break.:love: (NO points if you don't finish):nono:

This link sends me back to original thread.

You are very happy you're an N/A owner because you're out cruising in your car while the turbos are "still" being worked on in the garage. And usually waiting for parts, or more likely $$$$$$ for parts.:biglaugh: And on those rare occasions you do need to get under the hood, there's lots of...

OK...so normally I don't do this, but here is the link to a write-up I did on SF. http://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/showthread.php?t=1973 This bushing is actually a bearing, and is likely to go bad before the other bushings. There are no grease fittings for it. Dealer part, like $40...

Dealer parts. Left side & right side. Cheap. I just got new sets waiting to use for when I go into door to clean and lube all the window parts in there. PS...use synthetic brake caliper grease for lube, it will last (stay slippery) the rest of the cars life.

Sounds like a fraudulent 'cashier's check' scheme to me. His script sounds European, which has folks there trying scams all the time.

Yep. Any parts house will have it. Many here say the Ford one works best, but I'd bet $$$$ that your clutch pack inside your diff is worn out anyway, and you don't have LSD any more. Jack the car up on one side to get one back wheel off the ground. With the engine off, and the parking...

The MSD (Multi-spark) ignition advertises that the spark plugs fire 15X per, instead of once. The idea is to ensure ALL the fuel is burnt, as there is always some that escapes the flame. This would naturally give you more HPs, as you would receive the full power from the fuel charge. The...

Yes, originally it was a threaded hole. I've read on here or other sites about plugs that were stuck so bad they ruined them coming out. That hole sure looks smooth at the thread area. "I" would see about getting one of those universal neoprene (rubber) plugs that are used for expansion...

Mine is original (I believe) with 165k. I recommend changing the cap and rotor every 15k miles. They are cheap insurance for better performance. Also very important (I learned)...use some thread lock compound on the 2 screws for the rotor.:love:

On 2 Chevy V8s and a Ford, I had great success. I put the Mallory Hi-Fire (exactly like the MSD 6A) on my N/A. I had to get an adaptor (MSD because it looks better) to fire the injectors and operate the tach. After NO NOTICABLE POWER GAINS, and a tach that danced around at times (many...

I like that, but ours won't do it. They are a one piece design. Part #81211-14130(Right), #81221-14130 (Left). $129.64ea I have the body shop repair parts guide. It is a 'blowup' of the car with part #s and prices. If some one could PM me and tell me how to scan it into a thread, or How...

If the smoke clears up after the car is fully warm, and pehaps driving it for 2-3 miles, then the valve guide seals is likely the cause. If the car has over 100k miles on it, change the oil to 20w-50 (any name brand), and a bottle of Lucas Oil Treatment. This will slow the oil burning WAY...
