    Early Production Turbo A?

    They aren't that different. The appearance is identical, there has to be smaller changes, like an exhaust A:R which we can't see.

    Fuse Box Relocation

    http://www.hvccycle.com/Crimping%20Instructions.htm But I don't use that stripper. I use the squeezer that pulls it apart.

    Early Production Turbo A?

    That looks just like every other CT26 I have seen, including the two I have hanging around gathering dust.

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    I know how a computer works, in terms of a semi conducter, base, emitter, and collector, and voltage functions, but have no idea on code writing. You aren't alone. :)

    7MGTE Starts, But Stalls Shortly After....Update July 17

    Nope. He won't hurt the ECU, but he is way lean if this is the case. You start with what you know is wrong, and this (injectors) is wrong. Hopefully you have the correct ones in there now so we can proceed further. Not good ,but incorrect installation or wrong application could be a...

    Calling out, you Gutt-less, Torque-less 1JZ's !!!

    You can get a Passport card in place of the traditional Passport book for less money. It is made for just such a travel arrangement.

    Direct Injection for the 7M

    There is always the Diesel DI way, and run HEUI. Not that anybody should try and fabricate that system.

    89 turbo build and bhg repair

    Noted Supra tuner and legend Reg Reimer used the HKS Sport turbo upgrade with the Lex meter/550's and no piggybacks. It can be done. He used an AFPR according to his website, and nothing more.

    Question on installing catback

    Pucture? It has been a while. Is it a donut gasket? I thought it was. You won't use both, meaning an old and new together, but make sure you have the right part.

    Found rust on my car, should i sell or fix ?

    I wouldn't keep it. Rust is particular to where you live from the climate and how the roads are taken care. It is your car and your decision.

    Need help on fuel pressure

    Feels good to figure it out by using a diagnostic method, albeit a somewhat crude one, than to buy parts until it is fixed, don't you think? It does for me. Fuel pressure is in the book. Mine is stock.

    ALT/ charging problems

    For it to drop to 12.0 means it is likely not charging. How sure are you that you have a good connection on the back of the alternator. Assuming your new unit is working right. Because if the battery light comes on while driving, it means the battery is being discharged.

    89 turbo build and bhg repair

    The car looks nice. I like them clean and stock. Good to see you tackle all the things that are needed before buying a large turbo and intercooler.

    Need help on fuel pressure

    It used to be worse. For me it started in the late 90's with things like AOL car chat. When I left AOL in 01 or so, and went to the forums, I took my grumpiness that I devolped on AOL with me. It has taken a decade to tone it down.

    the front weep hole means front main seal?

    Great. :) That isn't the weep hole. When he pulls the front timing cover, he can see where all the leaks come from, most of which have already been suggested.

    Need help on fuel pressure

    Did you read the part about the J-tube? It is a built in restriction. And you have a much larger pump, and are running full speed all the time. Of course you have high pressure. There may or may not be anything wrong with your aftermarket regulator. If it is designed to lower fuel pressure...

    Direct Injection for the 7M

    Traditional port fuel injection has injectors in the head that spray fuel behind the intake valve. This compresses the air and fuel together, which is needed to create heat and light the mixture with just a spark. Direct injection injects directly into the cylinder on the compression stroke...

    the front weep hole means front main seal?

    We are going to need help on the terminology you are using. The weep hole is the bottom of the water pump which isn't supposed to weep at all. When coolant comes out, it has cast its withers internally. If oil is comming out, you have oil in your coolant. So what are you talking about wtih oil.

    Need help on fuel pressure

    Well, that pump is gigantic in flow compared to stock. Most also bypass the J-tube or drill out the orifice for more return flow.
