well guys and gals, it's about time i posted up my plans and go to work now that i have most of the parts i need to achieve my goal of 400-420rwhp. here's a little background on my car- i bought it in february, two years ago. an 86.5 N/A, black with gray leather interior off of ebay, for...

so Grim, are ya goin with a Cometic? or another stocker? Some other MHG? whats the game plan? :) -shaeff

i'll stick with just degreaser and a rag. patience is a virtue. :) i never spray water in my engine bay. i'm sure others (such as yourself) have done it with no problems, but i'm strong headed sometimes, and spraying water in the engine bay is just a bad idea every way i look at it. -shaeff

heh, DONT spray your motor with water. it'll run like crap. trust me:) others will chime in. just use engine degreaser and spend some time on it. everyone wants to get everything done so fast these days, and forget the methods that actually work, (elbow grease ;)) and spray their motors with...

relocating is easy as pie. if you dont want the resivour in the N/A position, you could always put it between the radiator support and the front of the car... -shaeff

if you did what i think you did, then you basically took off the turbo clutch fan, (10 blades i believe) and put on a non-turbo clutch fan (7 blades). that will make your car overheat. put the stock turbo one back on, and make sure the clutch in it works well. -shaeff

yes! clifftrail is right. (damn i'm off today) it's VERY likely the knock sensor wire that goes to the knock sensor near the starter. -shaeff

the w58 on the mkiv has a thicker input shaft. it's the same tranny, but esentially different. thats why it can hold higher horsepower applications. -shaeff

if i remember correctly, MDC motorsports figured out a good way using a greese gun. might want to talk to him. -shaeff

the flat one with the rubber cap is most likely your oil pressure sending unit wire. (thats why you have no oil pressure) the green one, hmmm. i gotta think about that one... -shaeff

i've got an intake and a Becauseican divorced wastegate downpipe, along with the CM stage III and a lightweight flywheel. (i've got LOTS of mods going in right now, i should have around 350whp, and by summers end 400, we'll see how the w58 holds up) -shaeff

i know it's lame to quote myself, but i got it! -shaeff

i love my Clutchmaster's Stage III. the pedal effort feels like stock, yet it holds some decent power. i've got a turbo, and i'm using the w58 (non-turbo) tranny. check it out: http://www.clutchmasters.com/shop/?page=shop%2Fflypage&MakeID=120&FromYear=1986&MakeModelID=18816&AppID=4499...

sure is. it then goes from the ISC to the TB, then to the very back of the block to the steel hardline. :) -shaeff

lanky, i'm so sorry :( i had a NEAR wreck once in my supra. (dont ask, it was *foolish*) and i felt like crap. i cant even imagine how you must feel right now. here's to hoping its repairable. :x: -shaeff

you're not supposed to touch the idle screw. any adjustment you make, the ECU will just correct. you're chasing your tail there. check the TPS and ISC. edit: to add links. check TPS (throttle position sensor)- http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/fi/FI_101.html Check ISC...

sure do! i'll let you know a date. haha, yeah, well here in the Red Hook, Tivoli area, they're all over the damn place. yeah, my friend is cool. thats gotta suck hitting a deer on a bike! he's in new paltz, or woodstock, i believe.(sammy) thats not too far of a drive. i talked to Mo once...

see the link in my sig:) -shaeff

yeah, actually my friend slid off the road last night in his grand am, while attempting to miss a deer. (stupid NY) he smoked a tree, and wrecked his passenger side door, a-pillar, the window pass. window shattered inside the car, and the windsheild is completely spider cracked. its the...

true, very true. good point, my friend :) -shaeff
