    help identify a part

    You may have the wrong one. The passanger side is different depending on the year of the chassis. The change came with the subframe change in 89 (when the mount stands when to cast aluminum from stamped/welded steel). You have to use the one from your chassis otherwise it wont fit. Also...

    rear wheel speed sensor

    He is correct unless its a N/A 5sp, in which case it is ontop of the tailshaft housing of the tranny in front of the shifter, not on the side like the autos and R154's.

    help identify a part

    Pics of the pieces would help, but the first thing that comes to mind when you say triangular and that the like like they could support something and that there is a right and left side, Then my guess is that they are the lower trans to engine braces. (attaches to front of bellhousing under the...

    1UZ into my MKIII

    The cars themselves are very close to eachother in weight, I think that the SC is on average about 100lbs heavier. The nice part is that by doing this motor swap, I will actually be loosing a significant about of weight in the front end cause the 1UZ is lighter then the 7M by a noticable amount...

    1UZ into my MKIII

    The updates should be a little me often now that 95% of my X-Mas stuff is out of the way and I can spend a little more money and time on the project. Next step is the fabrication of the trigger wheel for the crank trigger and then, who knows what I'll work on next.

    1UZ into my MKIII

    Well, its been a while since any updates but I finally got around to atleast doing something for the swap this week. Below are some pics of the crank trigger sensor that I had to fabricate from scratch. Although its not much, it is a major part to the motor actually running with my standalone...

    What's the ideal A/F vs boost curve look like?

    Yes, it does go into open loop while under boost, but ECU's kick out of closed loop control above a certian throttle point and a certian engine load. Typically this change over point is in the 5 to 8 in/hg vacuum range (75 to 85 kPa) and above usually 60 to 70% throttle.

    Timing light showing wrong

    Sometimes on waste spark systems, you will only pick up one of the two firing cycles, do to the substantially lower voltage used during the exhaust firing cycle. One thing that is a big misconception about ignition coils being used in an inductive type ign. system is that the coil will only put...

    Changing out an oil pump

    most likely excessive wear on crank and bearings, not the oil pump if it is infact low. What is your oil pressure @ idle? What is it @ and above 3000RPM? Also, what type of gauge are you using to check the pressure?

    Timing light showing wrong

    I'd suspect the Ignitor before the CPS if it is ignition related. The CPS has nothing to do with cylinder identification except for CYL's #1 and #6 referance so the ECU knows where the motor is at based on the G1 and G2 pickup signals and the count on the NE pickup signal. The ECU and the...

    PS3 for sale

    I owned one for about 3 minutes lastnight and I only waited inline for 6 hours last night. 6hr and 45mins total time and profited $1000.00, I'm not complaining.

    New Ebay manifold

    That is a 7m Flange, would waste even $100 one something that is most likely going to crack. 304 is not a good choice for turbo manifolds. 321 or Inconal are the only materials that should be used if with a turbo besides 1018 (mild steel).

    Multi Layer HG...Any good??

    Yeah, most are only 3 layer. The 2 outer layers are for sealing and the center is basically a spacer. Along with everyone else, I agree, it looks like a Titan knock-off and would chance it.

    ABS to NON ABS Help!

    Make sure that the push rod from the booster is adjusted correctly. If the ABS M/C had a deeper piston recess then the booster push rod is going to be adjusted out further and is not allowing the NON ABS M/C to return fully. Here is a like for how to measure and adjust...

    How long do u idle your car before driving it?

    About 15 to 30 seconds here. letting it idle for a period of time other the to get the oil flowing does nothing. The main thing is to keep the RPM and LOAD to a minumum until the oil is up to operating temp. Oil actually has very poor lubrication properties until its warmed up (starting at about...

    Intercoolers: internal fins or not? Which is better?

    Actually the fins are called turbulators and are to purposely create turbulance and there for raise effiency by slowing down the flow rate and increasing surface area.

    Pilot Bearing size??

    No pilot bearing is used in the crank when an auto is used. Take it out and everything will be perfectly fine.
