F#ck me!!! I cracked the housing :cry: Not too bad tho. It's just a hair-line crack along the top, right where the fitting screws in. I figure I should remove the fitting, repair the crack, retap the threads to clean them out (maybe even go a little deeper this time) and screw in the fitting...

Done! And the best part is that I didn't even have to remove the water pump. I took some adhesive putty and thinned it to around 1/8" in my hand. Then I fed it through the side opening where the hose goes and pushed it over the back of the water port hole with my fingers. When I drilled and...

Money in hand for kit 1&2 in black.

Well, that's not going to work :3d_frown: I was checking out an extra cover I had and looking at the port, the 7/16 drill bit I was going to use for the 1/4 npt fitting is basically the same size as the coolant outlet. I went to my engine and stuck my finger in where the hose comes out and felt...

Only on holidays; but he charges a premium.

Ordered fitting, tap and drill bit. It's in god's hands now .

Oh tap, yeah, I knew I was going to have to do that. When I saw "tape" it made me wonder if I was supposed to use plumbers tape or something; which of course would melt out of there as soon as the engine warmed up, so it didn't make sense to me.

What do you mean by "tape it"? So what your saying is use an NPT/AN fitting with the NPT side screwed into the newly drilled outlet? If I'm using an NPT fitting, do I still have to worry about making the area flat or can I just drill the hole and screw it in?

I wouldn't dream of using the banjo bolt. AN fittings is probably the way to go. I'm not looking forward to drilling into my engine while it's in the car. I'm wondering if I shouldn't just leave it alone. What happens with the thermostat if it doesn't have this coolant bypass? Is there some...

I'm all ears. Pulling the engine out and taking it apart is not an option. It just isn't. I'm sure I could probably drill it out while it's in the bay, but then I'm going to have metal shavings in the coolant passages. There is really nothing hooked up yet, not even a intercooler mounted. Could...

I have a bolt-on 62-1 Turbonetics T4 (look at avatar) that has ports for both oil and coolant. The issue I have is, the previous owner of my engine never ran coolant to his turbo's and welded up the coolant outlet on the engine. When I called him and asked if I could route the coolant...

Ok, so the bolt and shock on the hood are all one part. That's what I wanted to know. Easy enough. Thanks.

Ok, but how the hell do I get the current shocks off of the hood?

I was at a junk yard the other day and picked up a working set of hood shocks off of an 87T. There are no distinguishing marks so I'm guessing they are aftermarket. Anyways, when I get back and look at my 90T hood shocks (which are blown OEM Tokico's), I see that they bolt to the inner fender...

You'd think so, but I was amazed at how well the 315's fit these 9.5" rims. The tire actually sits pretty flush on the rim. There is next to no overhang of rubber at all on these things. I'll have to take a picture later today and post it. Now mind you, it is way to wide for our cars without a...

I guess I'll just get the JDM Auto ECU. Does that have the speed limiter as well? Can anyone point me to a post that describes exactly what wires need spliced where to bypass the NSW and retain cruise control?

What about the cruise disengage switch?

Correct. No. The vehicle is still in the build up stages. The engine and MT tranny are installed, but I haven't even fired the engine up yet. I have not rewired anything. The other day I cut both the plugs and wires that go to the clutch from a junker to wire into my car. I thought it would be...

Well lucky me. I found one JDM MT ECU and two JDM Auto ECU's. Part numbers for reference: Late model grey plug JDM Manual ECU# 89661-14231 / 175000-2690 Late model grey plug JDM Automatic ECU# 89661-14230 / 175000-1462

What's the widest rears you can run without spacers? Today I pulled some off a MKIII at the junk yard (awesome find). It had 315's on the back (fit the rims themselves great), but they were pinned up against the shocks and were wearing into them. Hell, the finder liners had a strip melted in...
