Well, I can tell you that the one that I got last week will not fit without major modifications. I have been in touch with Mishimoto and they are working on the problem, which seems to be a labeling issue. Sean (funky_monkey58) has had 3 and they all fit perfectly the first time. We'll see if...

The PPS solenoid is on top of the control valve on the rack. Basically, look for where the steering shaft comes in to the engine bay and follow it to the rack, there you'll see a wire coming out of a cylinder. That's the PPS solenoid. To test it, use a volt-ohm meter and measure the resistance...

As for Fuel pressure, you need a pressure gauge hooked up to the fuel rail, so yes you're taking a measurement. In reality, you need to position the gauge so you can watch it as you duplicate the problem, to see if you drop pressure when moving into boost(it should actually go up 1psi fuel...

I'm a dealer tech, so I have access to Toyota's Technical Insofmation System (TIS). The signal generator specs change from year to year- I compared it to my 91 TSRM and they are differant. my 91:205-255ohms, your 1992:185-265ohms. I would guess that cygnus has an older vehicle on file, thus the...

Have you changed the rear diff fluid lately? If you put non-LSD fluid in your LSD diff, it can chatter when you're turning a corner, but it's usually when accelerating... Other than that I can't think of anything right off the top of my head that would do that during low-speed turning. Front...

If you run the pump dry/low for too long it will eventually wear out. You can also throw metal particles into the PS fluid system which can wreak havok on everything- bind pressure relief valves, tear up seals, plug lines, etc. Now, if you're turning the wheel with the engine off, the fluid...

Is the brake warning light still on? You might be low on fluid, or the switch in the reservoir may have failed. As for the tail warning light, check your brake lights too.

Swapping an engine into my sister's 91 Tercel I forgot which order the crank/spacer/flexplate/stiffener plate/bolts (that is the correct order) went onto the crank. Put it together wrong, started up the car and WHHHHRRRRRRRBZZZZZ with sparks flying out from in between the engine and trans...

Make sure you've got the right connector orientation, if you test it the wrong way, you can be reading two of the pickup coils at once, rather than one. Also, I've got slightly different specs vs cygnus, but if you measured them correctly, they are all out of spec. Time for a new CPS. For a...

lol I agree, though. That would drive me nuts, especially in traffic. Too much stress plus annoying light equals road rage.

I would check the basics! Did your check engine light ever come on? Check for codes with the diagnostic connector shorted e1-te1, and re-check ignition timing, look for 10deg. BTDC with those same pins shorted. Also check fuel pressure see where you're at.

Yeah, I'm really surprised at how quickly they got back in touch with me. I had been reading that their CS dept. was slow to respond, but not this time! So far, so good.

Apparantly there has been some sort of labeling problem with the 86-92 Supra radiators, so Mishimoto is working on a solution for me right now. I should get their game plan next week, but it sounds like some sort of recall may be in order. As long as I get a good radiator, I'm happy.

I know, right? But,. as long as the engine holds up, I'll be OK. I figure it's worth it to wait and have it be 100%, rather than a rushed job that fails. I'm stimulating the economy enought as is. I don't need any re-do's. Here's the pics I know you've all wanted...or not. The ddp, chinaman...

As for the radiator, I've been in contact with Mishimoto, and they are sending the right radiator out sometime next week. I bought a 2-pack of turbos from Lord Mike, so I don't need to put my whiny crap turbo on my shiny new engine, nor deal with an exploded compressor wheel! My intercooler...

The HKS gasket you have is one of the better gaskets available for this engine, so I don't think you'll have much luck with another MLS head gasket. I would suggest buying a stock (composite style) gasket and running the car stock until you can afford to fix it right. No MLS HG will seal...

SO... I've gotten a bunch of parts now, and I'm having a problem with the Mishimoto Radiator. I knew it needed custom mods to the original mounts to fit, but the radiator I got is warped about 10mm. :icon_mad: It pulls back on the driver's upper corner and I' like to know if that's a normal...

^^ Agreed, that stuff looks terrible. I would think there is corrosion occuring at the block, it looks like rust buildup. Bad coolant can do very bad things and still *look* good. Green coolant is especially bad in this respect.

The oil could come from a lot of places, but I would guess it collected because of the cylinders not firing right. After the plugs and wires are in, take it for a drive and see if it's better. Since #1+6 are partners, I might think the coil was going bad/getting weak. It could also have been...

Never too late to get into a build thread, plus if you read it all, you may find a solution to a problem you have! anyways...good luck with the swap, it should be a blast to drive after!
