If you run out of fuel due to a failing pump, clogged filter, twisted lines, whatever, you'd get almost the same sensation - without the Check Engine Light that the ECU displays when it thinks you are overboosting.

It does fall on it's face. You won't notice it unless you've driven a non-CT turbo. My Turbonetics doesn't just pull hard to redline - the acceleration literally keeps increasing until I hit the rev limiter. When I first put it on, I was so used to the old CT setup that I couldn't shift fast...

No. FP has zero effect. There is a 99% chance that you have a boost leak somewhere, the places mentioned before are the best spots to check.

That's because nobody ever uses the key in the hatch, so the lock cylinder will still be mint in there. Same with the passenger side door.

The pump is essentially an impeller connected to pulley on the front of the engine. It has a bearing and a seal, and that's about it. While I have seen the impeller itself die, it's only happened once that I know of. In every other case, the seal lets go, and coolant starts to seep out the...

lol - this isn't limited to Toyota cars, by any stretch. By now I've got enough Toyota keys I can probably get into and start anything made prior to '90. I'm not worried about deleting this thread, either, it's not possible to censor something that is such common knowledge.

Despite what you may have heard, the interwebs is not a good source of porn. And your browser is not the tool to get it. Usenet, on the other hand, has more porn than you can shake a stick at. Definitely more than you can ever watch... there's only so much time in the day, and you can...

If you're having problems with the exhaust, buy an electric cutout from Driftmotion - $155 - and put a VERY quiet exhaust on after it. When you need the performance, check the area for law enforcement and flip the switch.

I'd love to come down for this, but I have a buddy of mine visiting this weekend, he's on leave from the service, so I'm out. Have some extra fun for me!

It's actually possible to do it in the car, but it's really unlikely - it's easier by far to pull the engine. An expert millwright would have access to the tools to recut the keyway properly on both the crank and the pulley bits, and he would likely cut it 180 out from the original. The...

Use R134a here, works awesome. The car was retrofitted by the previous owner, and I've had it for a long time since then.

I think you're a bit out of date, Figgie. Last time I checked, Toyota had taken over the #1 spot early this year.

Let me expand a bit. Admittedly, there are cops out there who are on a power trip and live just to make you miserable, however they aren't *that* common, and it's entirely justifiable IMO due to the fact that they spend 90% of their time dealing with the lowest 10% of the population...

Here's a hint, folks: it's not the car that's the problem. People who drive fast or recklessly will do so in any vehicle.

Sometimes I'm SO glad this kind of total douchbag doesn't slither in here, leaving a trail of slime everywhere he pokes his snout.

That wire is part of the engine wiring harness. A new one will cost you a pretty penny from Toyota. However, a couple members here build and sell a kit to bypass the wiring in the harness, or you could make one yourself. Try sending a PM to shaeff or supra90turbo if you want to buy one...

What did you do with the rest of the space? Monkey Pr0n?

Yes, it's available in better resolution as a large PDF, too. I use that on my laptop in the garage.

Holy - do you have my house bugged or something? I think I've mentioned that to a grand total of maybe three people. That won't happen until after SILV, though.

Fuel. Any moron can bump start a car with a starter kill.
