    which oil to use??

    very good info. I really think (since you like to type so much) you should do a large writeup (with links to sources if you want) about different grade oils, filters (including depth filters) change intervals for different types of driving etc etc etc. It would make for a GREAT sticky and very...

    Toyota Part Numbers for Intercooler pipes

    when you get the bov, don't get the kit, just get the bov with the flange (they come in different diameters and materials to fit your needs) have it welded on to your hardpipes where you want it and boom, you're done.

    Could a Powered Intercooler Work? In theory at least?

    do a search for DEI's (design engineering inc) cry02 setup. A friend of mine has it on his mkIV. It's a badass system. I'm on dial up right now or I'd post the link for the stuff. Intercooler sprayers, fuel bar coolers, intake cones (3" intake tube with a cone in the middle that freezes). Read up.

    Engine is HOT!!!!!!!!!

    my under hood temps are very hot, but I've just associated it with the fact that it's 90*+ outside. My intake mani gets to the point where you can't touch it for more than a couple seconds. New stock replacement radiator, working thermostat, good water pump.

    Got an offer on my car I might take!

    I don't know. It would really depend on a lot of factors. I've got like $4-5k in my car, and if somebody offered me $6k I'd be hard pressed to sell it. Especially if it's got a built bottom end and such. You've already worked hard to get your car that far, and now you're gonna take the money and...

    Weird prob.

    I get an egr code (no egr) and after I pull the efi fuse to reset the ecu it can take HOURS before the cel comes back on. Your tps might be throwing the code at 3000rpm but not before. Any codes will be stored in the computer until they are cleared (even if you fix the proble).

    oil galore

    but did you tighten the valve covers to the correct torque? From what I understand under-torquing and over-torquing can make them leak. Some people will actually use a thin bead rtv or fipg across the entire gasket surface. rear main seal maybe if its down by the cat/dp. into the tranny...

    Best (Cheap) Upgrade for Stock 91?

    if you think it's oil burning off then I would be looking on the exaust side of the engine, but my guess would have to be valve covers or turbo oil lines. Pull off your upper IC pipe (comes out of the fender near the air intake box) and rub your fingers on the inside to see if there's a lot of...

    stock hg limits?

    I have a factory hg torqued with arp studs torqued to 80ft-lbs k&n fipk intake and bic ddp with a factory cat and catback turned up to 12psi (just for the dyno, which dropped off to 9psi @ 5000rpm and a/f's went pretty rich) stock ic, piping, and bov and I made 266hp and 292ft-lbs (torque peaked...

    boost gauge location

    I tapped mine into the vaccum line where the factory boost gauge sensor is located. It's ont he drivers side fender and says "boost pressure sensor" or something like that on it. I pulled the hose off that, and used that for my gauge. That was for a mechanical gauge though. It works, dunno if...

    Flush headlights (hear me out)

    I keep wondering if I could fit factory lights (from any car) into the little black grill next to the turn signal. Converting fromt he flip ups can be dangerous due to the angle of the glass/plastic of the cover piece. Once I get into the body work on my car I'm gonna look into OTHER options to...

    Tail Lamp Failure box. Tails out. Help quick.

    I have the headlight switch and the tail light failure box for sale :) I'll cut you a deal! (off an 87 turbo 5spd). Other than that, I don't have the answer to your question.

    Turbo Won't boost

    check the coupler from the 3000 pipe to the throttle body. When the tb slams closed that coupler takes most of the backed up force before the bov can release it. (ask me how I know ;) I busted 2!!)

    WRX and 5.0 taken down by my 87 T

    I thought all wrx's were stick? I don't remember ever seeing an auto. On a side note, the new STI is 300/300 an is SUPPOSED to run very low 13's, 12.8's or something with a professional driver. A friend has one, and I can't touch it from anything but a 3rd gear roll. (damn 3.73 diff)
