Yeah, I think I'll get like three of them. Are they a dealer only item? I don't even want to think about it being a interference motor. My buddy just lost the motor in his Turbo Beetle to this also. I don't think I'll EVER own an interference engine. EVER! ;)

Not that I would've known to do this anyway; but, when I bought the car it had 4k on the rebuild. So I guess that puts me in the clear! :biglaugh: Unless I did that when I repaired the bhg! :sarcasm: Ok. Will do the dowel trick and verify that. I will reset the tensioner and order a...

There is tons of info on this; but, I will cover the basics. Lower numbers = Rich Stoich = "In the middle" Higher numbers = Lean It seems that most people tune for 11 to 11.5 for street/daily driving. 12 is pretty lean. Personally, I am tuning for 11.5. Again, this is VERY...

Ha. That would be me!! :) So what now...new tensioner and timing belt or just line it up and call it a day? I can't believe it jumped so many teeth! Props to jdub by the way!

And.......survey says........ And yes, the timing mark is at 0.

Will do. I'll post my findings tomorrow after I get the new wires installed and all timing marks verified.

Yeah, my bad. I assumed they were also. I'll get some cheap Autozone ones tomorrow for testing purposes and will eventually end up in the trunk for 'road-side' spares. NGK BCPR6ES/2330 gapped to .030. These are new. I just put them in 2500 miles ago. Yes, I will still check out the...

Ouch!

Ha ha... Nope it reads in inhg. My mistake. I actually just looked at it about 20 minutes ago and realized that. I was getting on here to let you know that. :) So, yeah. Ever since I've had the car it has read ~17 inhg of vac at idle. That's on a 6k rebuild. I haven't had a chance...

Yeah, at my job there is a TSI DSM, Turbo'd Forester, NSX, S2000, 1999 Vette, and my Supra. Most of them are black so when we all park together it looks SUUUUWEEEET!! About 6 months ago, there was this red evo who's plate read 'VRTIGO_1'. I ran him from a 10 roll and just whooped him. I...

I got mine from DriftMotion for $210 to my door. They were running a special at the time.

Didn't get to run him. I didn't even get to drive my car on the cruise because it started missing badly while out on lunch. I thought I pinned it to being the CPS. I switched it out yesterday, took it for a cruise, and that's when I ran into that evo. I did ride in the NSX on the cruise...

Yeah. That would be bad! Ok. Thanks... (big sigh....and will probably have nightmares now...) ;) EDIT: It wasn't loose at all when I was turning the crank to set TDC! So, maybe I dodged that bullet! :)

That covers it. Thanks Jdub!

Yep yep. There you go...

Just installed the UEGO here. The only one I can compare it to is a PLX and I prefer the UEGO.

Right. Which could be why the sound sounds like it's coming from the CPS. Could there have actually been enough slack in the timing belt to smack the timing cover and break it!? Does that mean the crank dampener needs to be replaced or is this just something that happens from time to time...

True dat! Not that my car is something great; but, there isn't much competition out this way so it's nice to run something turbo'd that's tuned. He's from out of town. He came down for his sister's wedding. It was fun.

WHAT?! Dude...what happened to the Supra? If you gotta go supraless, let me pick you up!

You know what!? When I was changing the CPS I noticed a hole in my upper timing cover. It's just to the left of the left cam gear. It was NOT there before. When I was trying to time it, I verified TDC by noting that the intake cam nose was pointing up so I wonder if it's the exhaust...
