You're going at it backwards. In 1st gear, the wheels have less effect on the engine, the differential gives the wheels a 3.909:1 (Or 3.73:1 or 4.30:1... whatever) advantage on the driveshaft, so there's several times more torque at the driveshaft than there is at the axle. 5th gear gives the...

Need more information. Check fuses, check for power at the positive pin of the instruments (Fuel gauge is easy) Speedo is completely mechanical.

So long as the 4.30 is a limited slip. All Canadian NA models had limited slip, in the US, it was optional. If it's open, you're going to have a lot of trouble hooking that up.

I have the newer style HKS and the sound was embarrassing. I have a recirc fitting in it, and have it blowing back to the intake between AFM and turbo. I think that even if I go MAP, I'll leave the recirc fitting alone, since it gets rid of the noise. Of those, I'd also vote for HKS SSQV (third...

I'd say a paint clearcoat, but since I didn't actually do it, I can only speak for the consequences of not doing anything. Wax wasn't enough.

Pull up your carpet at the firewall and look for hydraulic fluid under the clutch master. When these leak, they tend to do so inside the car, so no spots on the concrete.

Yeah, no CPS, no ignition. This really sounds like AFM to me.

It's easiest if the wiring harness, ECU and chassis harness are all the same. So if you've got an '89 car, then it's best if the wiring harness and ECU are also from an '89. The ECU and engine wiring harness must match, but they can be different from the chassis harness with relatively minor...

I'd suggest that a manifold vacuum gauge would be rather telling in that event, since the car should idle with ~12-15 inHg vacuum. That amount should drop when the throttle is opened. If vacuum is less than specified, then there's more air in the manifold than the engine can take advantage of...

Even if the colour wasn't available here, you can probably go to a paint shop and they can give you an idea, maybe even make you up a bit of touch-up for a colour code.

Or, so long as your clutch will hold 200 ft-lbs of torque (IE, your clutch isn't toast), just put it in 5th, set the e-brake and you should be able to apply 195 ft-lbs of torque to the crank bolt just fine.

AFM doesn't have a flapper, and even then it should TRY to rev when you open the throttle. RPM depends on how much air (therefore fuel) you can put through the engine. The other place that it could be plugged is the exhaust side, manifold, turbo, downpipe, exhaust. Plugging that will have the...

I've got the Tanabe hyper medallion cat-back, and I'm very happy with it. It's very quiet when running around at partial throttle, and even at WOT it's very well mannered. I'm running it with an RT downpipe, no cat.

Was 99.9% sure, but on the Internet, you can never be sure, y'know? I never meant to imply that the MAF is a substitute for an Intercooler, just that intercooled is much better than not. At one point, I'd considered something like this with the MAF post intercooler and post BOV, so that it...

Yes, the stock 440s need the resistor pack. Not using that can damage them or the ECU due to overcurrent.

http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=109/prd109.htm Absolutely. There are probably legal issues around the odometer, but it can certainly be done. It also stands to reason that for cars equipped with ABS, there are 3 pulse generators (4 on Mk4s) already...

I think (HOPE!) that the poster there was being facetious. This is a bad idea, intercooled is much better. A MAF (Mass Air Flow) is just a different type of sensor which is supposed to measure mass, taking into account temperature/density of air as well as speed. The stock AFM (Air Flow Meter)...

Knock sensor wiring is notorious for failure. Search knock sensor rewire.

Okay, you might want to back up a few steps and list what you did and what you didn't swap over. From your question about the TPS, does that mean that you still have the NA intake manifold and throttle body attached as well? (Lower intake manifold is the same, just upper is different, IIRC...

Basically an aftermarket replacement for stock. It's supposed to be a bit higher damping rates than the stocks, but you probably would not notice a difference. Can be used with MILD lowering springs at slightly higher rates. With stock springs, it's a stock ride. Struts don't lower the car...
