    Planning on doing the Foglight rewire but I have a question

    I guess I didn't answer the question. The current to operate a relay is very low. It won't hurt the defroster.

    TRD head comparison?

    Just enough info to get somebody into trouble wasn't a slap at you. Just some of the clowns here.

    Planning on doing the Foglight rewire but I have a question

    I haven't read the directions you are talking about. I have done an 87 and a 91. Both were the same. Maybe not the colors, but the process. The headlight circuit powers and foglamp circuit. The lamps are on their own fuse, but not the relay. You need to provide a power source of your...

    Car dies after it warms up

    Warm and cold air fuel ratio requirements are different. Especially at a low engine speed as you have noticed.

    TRD head comparison?

    This is a stock head and a group a head. I am not posting the link. It has just enough info to get somebody into trouble. The author calls the stock head a TRD head. It isn't. TRD never did that. Back in the late 80's, TRD sold parts of aftermarket companies like HKS.

    TRD head comparison?

    I think it was the mkiiitech site that had the group a head pictures.

    Did the Head Bolt fault affect N/As?

    That question was rhetorical. Who told you just put a new headgaseket on there with out block and head prep? I hope you now know that person has no idea about what they are talking about.

    TRD head comparison?

    No such thing as a TRD head. I don't care what you read elsewhere. There was a car built for homogolation in group A. That had a more rounded, as in hemispherical, combustion chamber as opposed to a traditional pentroof. At least that is how it looks in the picutres.

    Question on supra's performace

    The pre-cat hurts more than the main cat. Only a dyno will show the actual difference.

    Exhaust size?

    One other thing, carbon dioxide is the desired product of the catalytic converter. It does not reduce it. The cat converts HC, CO and NOx into CO2 and H2O and N2. Carbon dioxide is necessary for life, it isn't a pollutant. But that is a different thread.

    Exhaust size?

    Bad example. Coke and Pepsi make generic soda products for private label use.

    a couple electrical questions before rebuild start-up....

    Then you need to test the starter and system as shown. If the small wired isn't powered when the key is turned to crank, then we will worry about that.

    Did the Head Bolt fault affect N/As?

    Welcome to the most common mistake there is. Improper repair. First you ruined an engine. Then you repaired it wrong. When it failed again, you blamed the engine. Does the 5M have a problem?

    a couple electrical questions before rebuild start-up....

    A bad battery will cause it. The amount of current needed to crank the starter is much higher than just turning on lights. You could have a different problem, but that comes to mind. Check for constant battery power on the big wire on the starter. Check for power on the small wire when...

    A/C isnt working and Compressor Fans arent working.

    Did you do an open circuit voltage check at the compressor? The car does not need to be running.

    Differential problems

    You will ruin the bearing. Don't ask me how fast, I dont' know. Torque to book specs to avoid this problem. Unless you are talking headgasket. ;) Chatter and whine are to different things. What do you know about the 4 X 4 shop? I find it hard to believe they inspected it and didn't measure...

    Torque Converter

    It doesn't move on the input shaft unless you didn't bolt it to the flexplate.

    HKS 75MM Cat-Back

    Yes. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43004 Turbo Magazine. Yeah, you are wrong. No big deal. It is common to have bad translations from Japanese into English. The factory repair manual has issues also. That doesn't help trying to get the right info out there...
