Hey matt, Just to sort of answer your oil in transmission on your Celica, assuming it is the 5sp, atf is actually recommended. My friend just filled his up with Redline D4+, he has a bad synco going into 2nd gear and it didn't fix it by any means but did help noticeably. As to the syncromesh...

I used Toyota FIPG, which is black "oil resistant" RTV, it runs like 14 bucks a tube. Cork gaskets didnt work well for me, always breaking and squishing out the sides, etc.... Just use RTV...

Here's the procedure, you can also access the full Toyota Service Repair Manual (TSRM) for an 89 7mgte on the same website. Good Luck! http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/TechTips/engine_error_codes.aspx

Hey I know that 16:1 is running lean, what I was referring to was my earlier post of how my gauge never seems to read correctly, it fluctuates a lot. By no where near I mean no where near, like 13 or 14. About the relay issue, I have it grounded by where the rear seat backs are bolted to the...

Yeah I am running a walbro that I just put in, JDub and pressure is good. So I should probably try lowering the fuel pressure way down to about 28 psi at idle with vaccum on... I will definatly give that a try. Under wot it usually reads fairly rich, nothing close to 16:1. But I am guessing...

Well I just set my fuel pressure at what I think is high because the afr seems to be way too lean, like 16 at idle, so when I turn the afpr down and the fp goes to like 35 (with vac connected) then the afr's read (---). Which makes sense if I was running lean but that fuel pressure should be...

Hey I am using a AEM UEGO sensor coupled with 550's, lex afm, and aeromotive afpr. So lately no matter what I set my fuel pressure at, usually at like 38 with the vac connected (to high) my AEM gauge reads (---) at idle and then under acceleration it seems to bounce around alot ranging from 10...

Does any one have any ideas at all? thanks

Hey I had this same problem getting my crank pulley bolt loose. I just took a torch (small coleman one) and heated up the bolt quite a bit (not cherry red but hot!) and popped a snap-on impact gun on there and it came right out. I tried for hours with a breaker bar, several impact guns, etc. NO...

Ok, So I swapped the 15amp fuse with a 20 and strangely enough it didn't blow but the tail-lights/running lights worked for about 10 mins. Then it blew, so when I changed it again, it immediately blew, so I tried a 25 and that blew and made my stereo sound like shit! So I started thinking that I...

Yeah, I basically just followed the tutorials here on sm, I only drilled for the ground and I did it by where the rear seats connect to the frame rails, same spot that I grounded my amps. So I didnt change any wiring or anything, I only cut the fuel pump wire that goes into it to splice it into...

Hey guys so I was recently doing Shaeff's 12V mod (with no sucess by the way, keeps blowing my efi fuse everytime I crank it over, not sure why??) and after giving up I returned everthing to normal and went to drive my car, and when I turned on my headlights the taillights and interior lights...

I dont see why no one likes the venoms, I have been running them for about a year now and have had no problems... (venom 550cc, lexus afm, afpr, etc.)

Hey JDub, Thanks for the thread as well as your others, it has made me think alot about what type of oil I should be running in my car. My question is what have you heard about Pure Power filters. I recently purchased on for my newly rebuilt 7m and have noticed quite a difference in carbon...

okay, thanks guys, I will give that a try.

yeah, I was planning on regulating it with my mbc, but I don't up to what psi it can handle before it will also go bad. And with the retaining clip, the turbo is still in the car, so I was wondering anyone has tried anything that worked well? Thanks

So I tested my Wastegate Actuator and its bad, 80psi of pressure and still wouldnt open. So, my question is this. I have an actuator off my original turbo (running a upgraded ct-26 now) and I was wondering if I could use this to replace my bad one, it seems to open around 12 psi. Do I need a...

Ok sounds like that's what it is, I will start with checking all my couplers. What and where is the best place to check for a boost leak? I am definitely getting boost just no regulation as the turbo just keeps spooling and the wastegate doesn't open I guess. Thanks for your help!

Not really, or at least as I understand it. The hits fuel cut at around 14 as it thinks there is a wastegate malfunction at higher boost levels. I would like to run about 16-17 pounds and I hit fuel cut right around 13. So I want to get a FCD so I can eliminate fuel cut, I just dont know which...

I would double check your cps to make sure it is aligned properly. Otherwise the car will get full but wont start. When I rebuilt my motor and went to start it for the first time I was a tooth off and it would start worth a crap. Good Luck
