Does anyone know the actual flow rate of a mk3 pump and at what voltage? How much hp are they good for? Everything I find through searching is related to walbros but no one states the specific flow rate of the mkiii pump. I found a great article that says mk4 pumps are actually better based...

wtf? I scanned my fsm and maybe I missed it. Is there supposed to be sealant applied to the bolt that is on top of the intake manifold closer to the alternator? I seem to have a oil seeping leak that builds up on the intake runner. I thought it was gas and actually had a gas leak at one point...

I finally isolated my seeping fuel leak. The an adapter on my rail has a minute ding in it causing a seal problem that just lets a slight film of gas seep down the rail... It looks like the adapter is a 6an to 1/2 20 threads. Can someone confirm? Is that the right thread on the fuel rail...

Anyone got any ideas on how to spot a fuel leak?. On my supra the only evidence I have is fuel puddling on top of the first intake runner intermittently.It does not leak when I am watching and everywhere else is dry as I think it evaporates from all the heat. I dont think there is any dye...

Hello, About 2 yrs ago the top of the comp manifold seal blew so I replaced it. Replaced the evap, filter and one of the lines. Charged it up with R12, new oil and it worked good. Then the engine rebuild started. Motor is finally running but now the seals in the compressor are leaking so...

Hello., I have the stock 190 tstat. Monitoring my ecu temps gives me readings of 200-205 degrees. Is this normal? I suspect a sticky tstat or air in the system. My other symptom is upon first warm up the gauge spikes 3/4 of way up and then immediately settles back down. If its air will...

Hello all. . I was wondering if anyone knows of good websites like this one but geared toward the sc400s.. Is there anything good to know about those cars and to watch out for. I was looking at them in the 50-120k mile range. I imagine they are a lot more refined vehicles than the mkiii...

Hey all, I have a few questions for anyone knowing enough. Some info: 1st let me say I love the way my car sits, its lowered somehow. Im happy with the way the car handles on curves but its a bit boaty on the bumps. I dont know what springs are in there but strongly suspect they are stock...

I was putting my front cover back on after replacing the seals, moving along really well and its almost together until Screeeeech!, damn I forgot to put the gasket on the water pipe that connects to the front cover:3d_frown:... Has anyone had any luck getting the pipe loose enough to replace...

Hello.. I was trying to get rid of a squeak or squeaks.... My speedo cable had a new lower end so I followed the post about using a bag and oil to to try and get oil into the cable. This helped with the squeak but now my cable is jumpy where it was not before.. I may have done something...

:(I guess I will never own a pretty radiator. Running the edis setup with the thick trigger wheel caused me to space out the fan to clear the wheel, the first time it finally heated up and i got on the boost it scraped a circular pattern into the new rad.:3d_frown: my fan scraped the 1 week...

Does anyone know if running cp pistons .040 oversized with the eagle rods what compression ratio this should yield with minimally shaved head and block using 1.5 or 2.0 mm hg?

So the few finally ruined the cam thread for the rest of us who can use it for info etc, After flipp flopping for the last few weeks and waiting on my engine builder and he waiting on me I told him I was going to trash the idea of upgrading cams right now. SO now I am having second thoughts...

Does anyone here have a torque plate they would like to rent out? How about, does anyone have a 7m head they would like to donate to the cause and I will make a torque plate?
