    MK3 turbo vs MK4 v8

    So a while ago I decided to go for a cruise on a awesome Sunny arvo, I was heading along a highway on my way to nowhere, i caught a glimpse of a black MK4 in my side mirror about to pull up at the lights next to me. I wind down my window and say to him "Twin turbo?", he replys "nope, V8 and...

    My turbo dont boost

    does the car run any worse while full throttle @ 0psi? if you have a bad boost leak i'd expect to see a small smoke cloud from venting measured air. get a friend to follow you and look if any black smoke is comming out the exhaust, if yes then you have a bad boost leak If it were me, id be...

    T61 Bolt on Turbo by Cx Racing

    I run a Exedy HD Button clutch, exedy pressure plate balanced with crank,rods,pistons during machining/assembly of the motor (new clutch disc/plate with rebuild) resurfaced flywheel, new throwout bearing/spigot bearing/seals etc etc I'm still worrying about it holding over 400rwhp despite the...

    How do you get the starter out?

    why would you blame the CPS? your motor will crank with no cps signal, starter has nothing to do with the ECU, sure the trigger signal goes through the stock wiring loom but it has nothing to do with it. Common issue, a possibility is there is interference/attenuation on the trigger signal, so...

    T61 Bolt on Turbo by Cx Racing

    ummm 5000km on the turbo if that helps 7500km on the motor, cbf converting to miles, showing no signs of failure currently, no strange sounds etc etc. took it for a drive on my shonky base tune (limp to the tuners tune, boost cut set at 0.5psi, rpm limit to 4000) its drivable best of all TCCS...

    Intake Air Temp sensor placement question

    ill get some pics tonight, i swapped to GM (bosch) sensors, my car came with some blow off valve hard pipe section, (30cm?) i welded the fitting to that. its between the intercooler and throttle and after the blow off valve, i welded in a nut with the right thread. im swapping to a front facing...

    Injection Time Calculator

    While making a base tune for my Haltech i came across this Calcuator, My ECU uses injection time in ms for the fuel map so this was particularly useful. Maybe someone else can find some use in it as well :) http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WCPO1G5L

    Intake Air Temp sensor placement question

    My haltech manual says it should be placed as close to the cylinders as possible, the sensor its self needs to be in direct path of airflow, ie not just bunged in a weird spot in the plenum that wont see a constant path of airflow. The buick 3.8L v6's mount them JUST before the valves in the...

    question about ct-26 57 trim

    from my experiance, you can run the 57trim without any modifications, its a ct26 bored out with bigger wheels, same actual front/rear housing so stock intercooler piping /dump pipe are fine. stock coolant/oillines are ok too the afm measures air entering the engine and calcuates fuel required...

    Official Haltech thread...Supra Jumper and P&P harnesses available!!!

    Hi, I dont have a model listed, i've got the Haltech E6X installed in my 7m supra, as far as i can tell its similar to the Sport 1000, 4x ignition channels, 4x injector channels (only 6 drivers however) int 2.5bar map etc, I've made the loom my self (using a haltech long loom) as there is no...

    Where's my Compression??

    it depends if he used moly graphite lube or engine oil/anything at all. Torque applied to the bolt/stud when tightening does not nesssecarily = clamping power, this is what the instructions that come with the arps say, for example arp specify for one headstud product 30w oil | arp lube 95 ft...

    Removing w58 transmission cant reach last 3 bolt off the bellhousing

    i bought a 14mm long handle ring spanner exactly for this reason, they're all accessible and i don't recall it being a hard job? i had my box out and backin within 4 hours and managed to replace a few seals with time for beer breaks! i reckon the biggest pain in the ass is getting the gearbox...
