    Removing Emmisions equiptment on 90 mk3 turbo

    You can ID a California car by a temp sensor in the exhaust area monitoring EGR flow. Don't remove the "smog" equipment. It does not cost you any power. If you have a track car, that is different. Even the EPA will allow it if you never drive on a public road again.

    Eliminating Oil Cooler for Good?

    I assume you aren't at 18 psi at every stop light either. It isn't luck. It is a well designed setup that is made for abuse. Becuase a lot of kids have managed to destroy these cars isn't a "design flaw". I myself with stock applications have never had the following issues. No code 52...

    Diagnosing a problem with mkiii 7m-gte

    Bad plugs can certainly make it run rough. But you are the only one that has seen how bad it is. Does it start hard? Does it smoke when starting? Is the exhaust leak fixed? You should be able to tell by the noise. A leaking exhaust manifold will make your mixture richer, and after time, foul the...

    fuel pump relay buzz & CEL light on instantly after battery connected

    Sounds like the instrument cluster is short or grounded. I will look at the online EWD. You can too. It is unfortunately an 89, but there probably isn't much of a difference. Are you implying that you are using a 91 harness in a different year car? The 89 has common power and individual...

    stalling out!!!! HELP

    Yes, 34 is abnormal turbocharger pressure. An intake leak can cause it. A big intake leak can cause a stall when out of boost.

    Car studdering

    You could have a bad connection between the meter and the ECU. It seems to be a fairly common thing reading these posts. That or there is a lot of over oiling the K&N style filters.

    Eliminating Oil Cooler for Good?

    To add to what jdub is saying, don't confuse your mostly stock setups and requirements with what adjuster and IJ need. Pull your dipstick once a week and look at it. It isn't that hard.

    Who else uses the steering wheel quick-tilt lever?

    There should be two movers. One is to set the height and lock it, the other is a quick release. I also use the quick release.

    Copy of a cast HKS exhaust mani?

    Toyota calls it stay number 1 and stay number 2. Once again, parts the car doesn't really need. ;)

    GT35R + 19 PSI = 820 rwhp...a Mustang story with love for the 2JZGTE

    I agree with the assesment on the powertrain. However, not on the car itself. The new edge 199-2004 Cobra as a vehicle is more like the MA70 Supra. Heavy and filled with luxury. 500 rear wheel horsepower on 9 psi. Not too shabby, even for a Ford. ;)

    Bad idle when warmed up

    No error codes means the sensor and circuit are within parameters. I doen't mean it is working right. But that is one of the first things to check.

    Possibly have a BHG yet again

    Aaron, I myself get offensive with people that destroy our limited resource. But as for this individual, I guess I can't blame. He spent the money where somebody assured him it was being done right.

    Eliminating Oil Cooler for Good?

    Most older Honda's don't have one, so you don't need it. It can go in the pile of VSV's, charcoal canister, EGR valve, you know, all shit you don't need.

    7/16" exhaust stud upgrade?

    When you drop a head and block off at a machine shop, it is devoid of all studs and components like it. It is unproffessional of a tech to think the machinist needs to do his job.
