I have to weigh in on adam's side here... it doesn't. It's a whole lot easier if you pull the driveshaft first, but it's not an absolute requirement.

A little bit? Removing the crank pulley beforehand has a couple uses. First off, when the engine is in the car, you can just put it in gear, set the ebrake, and use a breaker bar to crack off the bolt holding the main pulley on, which is at 195 foot pounds, by the way. If you pull the engine...

lol - I've also owned and driven both.

Size limits?

It was in quite a few of the car mags back in '87. The Mk3 was originally getting pretty ugly reviews due to the fact that it was slower than the model it replaced. I don't have the car mags any more, of course, if I kept all the mags I've bought over the years I'd need a house just for them...

Not unless you think you can coax 40+ hp out of them.

And you loosen the allen to drop the fuel pressure, not tighten it.

Agreed. The reason Toyota put a turbo on the car in '87 is because the '86.5 was slower than the '86.

No way that I know of. However, google this: SpamBayes

Intake, complete exhaust from the turbo back, and a manual boost controller set to just under fuel cut is well known to give you ~320 crank hp, which is ~90 hp gain. So yes, the guy on the other site is pretty much dead on. I don't have a dyno sheet for this - most of the guys doing this don't...

Posted in the wrong section, thread moved...

Just as an FYI, we don't have a serpentine belt, we have three regular belts, and blowing one shouldn't affect the water pump.

It damn well better, because it basically was. :D

This is beyond ridiculous... but it's still cool. :) Vid: http://www.madmancoracing.com/MadMan-Racing.wmv

Finally found my invoice - I got this one: CT26/T4, 60-1 Hi Fi, Stage 5 (500hp)

No, it bolts under a couple of the compressor housing bolts.

He ships internationally - he shipped from the USA to Canada for me, anyway. I didn't get any pics of the actuator, I was in far too much of a rush when I was bolting it on, and it's more than a little hidden now.

Very first thing you need to check is maintenance... old hoses need to be replaced, oil leaks need to be fixed, and so on. Then I'd replace the entire exhaust, from the turbo back, (if you have the turbo model, of course) and the intake. Then add a boost controller. Then it starts to get...

My biggest complaint about Toyota has been that they are not providing any support for the sports car enthusiast. If they change that, I don't care what they call it, I'll be happy.
