thanks johnny. :) i don't mind the noise, and i won't mind even more when i get my EBC hooked up, as it'll only be wicked loud at WOT. after i get a turbo upgrade, i'll probably port the wastegate a bit. thanks for the suggestion. -shaeff

haha. -shaeff

why the crap won't my links work. :( i suppose i'll delete them and simply explain... -shaeff

i've got one on my AFPR. eventually, it'll be replaced with a defi unit in the cabin. (providing that defi actually makes one, which i suppose i should find out) -shaeff

i'd rather have it as a fail safe. i don't exactly understand how grounding the wire to the firewall would work at all. the ECU needs voltage output from the KS to function properly. i'd think that if the wire was grounded, it would act as a short, and cause a code 52. besides, in my opinion...

basically, all the N/A INTAKE cam does is move the powerband around. you'll have more low end grunt, but it'll start to stifle your motor in the upper RPM, especially when you start pushing more power. the N/A intake cam has more duration, but less lift. the cam won't make you run lean, but i...

always a pleasure to read johnny d's kills. :) -shaeff

oh, i didn't realize it was after the motor was off, and constant. (thought maybe it was a slight hiss, then died off) -shaeff

having the KS(s) disconnected would have the exact same affect as if your wiring was toasted; both would cause a code 52, the timing would retard, and the fuel mixture would become more rich. it's a common misunderstanding that the code 52 tells you that your engine is knocking. that is...

http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/ig/IG_05.html follow the above steps. the first things i'd check would be: connection to the CPS, connection to the ignitor, connections to the coils. in the link above, when they say "high tension leads", they mean the small harness that...

i've come across that before, just never said anything. it's definately an interesting read. :) -shaeff

vaccuum leak? -shaeff

my machinist, who builds race engines, said that every 7m he's ever seen has cams that look like that. he said it's fine to re-use them. he also hooked me up, by filing down a few of the cam caps to help get the clearances in spec. he said most machinists don't do that, though. i really...

if the cams are alligned with the matchmarks on the back timing plate, and the crank at 0*, do this: another thing: if you set the base timing (cams and crank), rotate the motor, and when it comes back around, they're not lining up anymore, chances are you bent the timing belt tensioner...

most steering wheels are round. ;) and joel, jetjock made a factory switch operate as he stated. there is no switch that does that FROM the factory. ;) -shaeff

i rewired my fogs to a separate 30A relay. i used heavier gauge wire, and run 100w bulbs in there. :) the only thing that i have to do now, is wire the stock switch so it still lights up. :) -shaeff

no. you would have to change the crossmember to the 89+ style to get the round mounts to work. if you have square mounts, you have to use the square mounts, you can't just switch to the different style while retaining the existing crossmember. just source some good pre '89 mounts and you...
