The car buying bug is up by bu!! again :evil2:
Has anyone got any seat-time in a 95-99 BMW M3? (AKA the E36). I've been oggling over the pictures I can find but, since I live in Podunk WI, I have no place near by to see/smell/touch/fondle one.
How do they feel compared to a MKIII? The...
Toyota does not sell a long block any more. The head is sold in 100 little plastic baggies and you have to assemble it yourself.
Total cost is around $6,500 for a long block equivalent.
I love the part where they brag about their cam lobe regrinds. Then the next scene shows some guy freehand buffing the cam bearing surfaces... Who needs round? We just want shiny!
lol
I'm going the $2,500 new Toyota short block and reman head route this summer. Or maybe my old...
Pulling the EGR VSV on a cali car will cause a code because the temp sensor is not hot enough. It expexts to see a hot temp when it is telling the VSV to be open.
If you want to pull the EGR VSV then unplug the EGR temp and drop a resistor in on the harness side. I do not remember what size...
The fix is to go with a maft in blow-through mode or a maft-pro in blow-through or speed-density mode. Then your ECU will stop seeing air that isn't there.
Or just shift differently so it doesn't pop ;)
Does the PS drive off the same belt as the water pump? that would explain the loss of PS followed by a temp spike.
Smoking tailpipe is harder to say for sure. Wet plugs are never good to see =(
That sounds more like the EGR temp sensor connector which is unused on cars outside of California. On CA cars it would either be connected to the EGR temp or have a resistor jumpered across it.
I run mine closer to the 440 setting than 550. I think I'm 1 click above 440.
Car runs and drives fine at 2.5v vf. However, the idle goes way lean. I have my SAFC adding 10% at idle and the vf is still one tick to the "I'm adding fuel" side.
I run Blizzaks on my old sawblades. They grip well and seem to tolerate the occasional traction loss on clean/dry pavement ;)
I also carry a short handled plastic coal shovel, 100lbs of chicken grit, and some extra outdoor clothing.
Don't forget about http://babelfish.altavista.com if you want to read what they say. Just give babelfish the URL from above and let it go to work.
Bah, I was too slow!
