Kckazdude: That totally pisses me off. Closer and closer we get to, "...when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism..." The question is, what is anyone gonna do about it? More than likely, the...

What to do about the tach: You can see that there are resistors that are labeled 1 thru 9. The 2 columns on the bottom tell you what the resistances are on both the n/a and the turbo. The ones in blue you need to change to match the resistances for the turbo tach. This is if you are...

Thanks :) Over 90% of what I usually work on is OBD2, so I can look at everything every sensor is doing as I manipulate the vehicle. It makes diagnosing bad sensors much easier. But that's a subject for a different thread...

Thanks for all the help, Jet, I really appreciate it. No need to look into it any further. The ISC steps back so quietly I couldn't hear it without a stethoscope. Even then it was faint, but it stepped 3 times. Is it supposed to be that quiet? I can hear mine easily with the hood open...

The difference between OBD1 and OBD2: The one part that is circled is the OBD2 connector. All those other connectors are for different year, make and model pre-OBD2 vehicles. That's not all of them, either.

I figured it out. The tps was bad. I had checked it 2 weeks ago, and had a 51. Figured it wasn't set right after they put the motor together, so I set it according to the tsrm, cleared the codes, and sent him home. Had Austin check for codes a couple days later, and none were there. Checked...

I've "heard" that mixing them is bad. Supposedly, it turns acidic, and will tend to eat aluminum parts. I haven't found any evidence of that yet... Engine cold, pull the t.stat, and take the lower hose off. Stick a water hose in the t.stat housing, and let water run until clean water comes...

Maybe. If the holes aren't extremely crooked, you could drill them out to a bigger helicoil and stud. I could take a look at it for you if you can get it over to me. PM me if you need directions. Check this link: http://www.mkiiitech.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=923 It explains the...

Wow, that sucks. You need a new head. You beat on the studs, you'll never get a bolt on them. You'll probably crack the head as well, and it will never seal. What year is the motor?

Looks like he's selling the 89 Turbo Grp A/N(?) for 12000 pounds? francs? whatever Swiss money is called, not sure... Looks like he has a bunch of parts as well. I don't remember much of the German class I took in high school...

Thank You :) Someone would see "7m to 2JZ ffim conversion," and think they were buying a performance part. I would, and I'd be pissed if the runners didn't flow smoothly.

There are no axles for the front wheels on a Supra.... Maybe a loose caliper bolt backing out and hitting the wheel? Wheel bearings roar, and will change pitch when you turn in the right direction.

is it a turbo car? I thought the 86.5's were all N/A....

PHEW!!! When I saw the thread title, thought maybe you lost your head and bought a Honda... Nice car, btw. I'd have bought it, to....

Have to pull the motor to do it right. Hopefully it doesn't need a crank. Price would really depend on the damage done, and what has to be replaced. I would expect to spend a $1000 minimum, parts and labor.

Average 180 miles a week, and use 10 gal. Lead foot and gas mileage really don't get along...

Chris: Hmmm... I'll check on that tomorrow. I'm pretty sure that they're supposed to test it for you, just like alt., starters, etc.

Ah. If I was concerned that there was a good possibility of running through water high enough to submerge my air filter, I'd run a short ram, and keep the filter up in the engine compartment. You know, there is just (and I mean JUST) enough room inside the back of the fender to put a small...

Ahhh, like the AEM ones? I was wondering what you were talking about.... http://www.aempower.com/ViewCategory.aspx?CategoryID=20 Looks like a straight through design, so I'd think it wouldn't effect performance at all. I remember reading a tech. article in SCC, or Turbo Mag. a few years ago...

Those Hurst shifters are HEAVY!!! I just installed one a couple weeks ago in an 85 rx7. Don't like the feel at all. Dash does look good, though.
