    oil pressure sending sensor where is it

    No! The JDM unit will not work...In fact, it can fry your gauge.

    making sure this is right, ordering final 7mGE parts from Titan

    Normal operation of the motor causes wear on the journals...some more than others. You want the rod ends and the journals as smooth as possible to cut down on friction/heat. The bearings do their job with a thin layer of oil between the surfaces...if the journals or rod ends are not perfectly...

    7mge rebuild: rod bearing sizes question

    Correct again Yellow...you're on a roll ;)

    making sure this is right, ordering final 7mGE parts from Titan

    It's the right way to do it...the rod ends can be resized and you use stock bearings, or you have them dressed to a perfect circle and determine if you need a oversize. Micro polishing removes all the little "scuffs" on both the main and rod journals...depending on the material removed, it...

    making sure this is right, ordering final 7mGE parts from Titan

    Like Yellow said, bearing come in stock and oversize...you will need to measure the ID of the rod end and the OD of the crank journal to determine the correct size. The rod end need to be dressed out at minimum...micro polishing the crank journals should also be done. The bearing clearance...

    electrical problem, no power in cabin, HELP

    No insult implied Oliver ;) Trust me, there's been lot of people that have by accident...hope you find it.

    Are you getting you rod end resized to stock? Jus want to make sure you order the correct bearings ;) Also...what about ARP main bolts? You use a 12 point socket on those bolts.

    Fluctuating gas tank needle

    ^^^ Bingo! You can clean the contact with some carb cleaner and a cotton swap to remove the varnish build-up.

    Installing Side Differential Oil Seal

    Lube it up good with diff oil...a piece of PVC pipe w/ a cap the same diameter as the seal makes a good seal installation tool to tap on ;)

    electrical problem, no power in cabin, HELP

    Check your 100 amp ALT fuse in the engine bay (the box behind the battery)...it's held in with a screw. You didn't happen to hook the battery up backwards when you installed the new one...did ya?

    Fuel Cut, is it a good or bad thing???

    On a stock AFM all this does is allow you to bypass air so the sensor does not sense it. The stock AFM's bypass is small compared to the Lex...you will lean the AFR a bit, but leaning out AFR does not have any affect on FC. The effect on fuel cut (due to the bypass air) of the the adjustment...

    Fuel Cut, is it a good or bad thing???

    Raising the fuel pressure will not help you where fuel cut is concerned. The reason the Lex works is you are bypassing more air around the sensor and it's larger diameter. You are fooling the ECU into seeing less air than is actually being compressed and sent to the motor. The Lex will...

    cps

    If it were the AFM, the ECU would likely throw an AFM related code...he's throwing a code 12 which points to the G1 or G2 contacts (or wiring) for the CPS. If you decide to clean the AFM, do not use any kind of spray cleaner on the sensor that protrudes into the housing. This is almost a...

    Fuel Cut, is it a good or bad thing???

    It doesn't matter...he has an external wastegate adjusted all the way out to spring limit. His turbo is gonna make him hit fuel cut. Fuel cut is a good thing (like stated before), the ECU protects the motor from a perceived over boost. With a big turbo, it gets in the way and due to the ECU...

    Fuel Cut, is it a good or bad thing???

    Does that mean you've removed the pressure line from the compressor to the wastegate actuator?

    cps

    That's normal for code 51. Code 12 is the CPS...I'll bet your wiring in the vicinity of the CPS is not in the best shape (brittle, bare spots). I had to re-wire mine...code 12 will cause stalling, roughness, no-start etc. It will also cause the ECU to enter fail safe mode. I'll bet you the CPS...

    idle problem after letting off gas

    Here's the TRSM reference to the Dashpot...how to check it is on the following pages: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=EC&Page=8 Here's a pic...the part hanging off the diaphram actuator is a VTV. Yours is missing the little air filter...that will not cause...

    Looks like the JDM sensor.

    Turbo A car

    According to Dr J's site, it will have a larger cross over pipe and no AFM (in addition to the 65mm TB)...should be pretty easy to spot looking under the hood. Plus the Mumo steering wheel ;)
