Hi everyone, does someone know by memory if the two small vacuum nipples on the throttle body on the 7mgte are upstream or downstream from the throttle plate? Sorry, wanted to load pics but phone isn't uploading them

Hi guys, For those having trouble finding the seal for the CPS rebuild, I did my research and found a substitute that is readily available. It is a John Deere part number M76118 selling for under $3 on the Green Farm Parts website. A National (Federal Mogul) part number substitute for the...

Is the timing supposed to advance when increasing RPM with the TE1 and E1 pins jumped? Also when checking timing with a light, how steady is the mark supposed to be with a good working ignition system? Mine tends to be "vibrating" about with about 1/4" travel.

Have I just never heard of it, or why has no-one invented a data logging system that uses a video-out method so you can display the data on your existing screen/dvd player?

So I've been starting up a local club - Club Motorsports (clubmotorsports.bz) If you were an administrator in a car club, and you have a person wanting to join your club, with a hideous looking Honda Accord with the biggest assed wing you ever saw, I mean riced out as much as possible. Do...

As of last week I have been working on setting up a local motorsports forum, and boy, i have no idea the amount if work it took. if any of the mods or admins cares to indulge me, this forum still uses the default attachment system for the general picture posting? I've been playing around...

My turbo went kaput on me a few weeks ago. The previous day I had the intake off checking on a coolant hose, and like I usually do I checked the turbo for shaft play. there was next to none. It started out of the blue, driving almost at idle, as soon as the turbo would come off of vacuum, i...

Hi guys, Can someone point me in the right direction: I never finished college, and have been making a decent living so far, but decided I gotta make a move before it is too late, so, I am considering moving up from Central America to do career training in automotive repair. At this...

Here's what happens when you have a good MHG torqued down properly and boosting 19 psi on stock CT26 with stock internals. stock fuel pump with 550 cc injectors.

My engine build was coming along quite nicely, now it's on hold cuz my mechanic can't find a 12mm x 1.25 tapping bolt. does anyone know where i can find one? I need one fedex'ed to me here in Belize asap!!! thanks for any help. Delmer.

Ok, we're starting to assemble the block now, I'll try to give as much details as I can: block is from a 90's cressida, so no oil squirters, bored +.020, surface was cut .01 of an inch when it was decked. 1.2mm HG from HKS, JE Pistons from Titan with 9:1 compression ratio, Eagle rods, arp...

Before we pulled my engine apart I was trying to get the wideband system to work. I had it hooked up with the ECU using the signal from the wideband 02 sensor, but it did not run correct. Now I wonder, isn't it just simpler to add another bung and separate the wideband and stock sensors...

I recently got shafted by a seller on ebay who sold me an engine "recently rebuilt" described as in good condition. Long story short, after spending $$$ installing the engine, we find out the block is useless. I tried looking for the writeup on blocks that I know is somewhere on this website...

Hi guys, Thanks for all the opinions and suggestions and what's not on my 'blew my engine' thread. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58074 Some of you guys mentioned waiting on teardown pics, and I myself am dying to see what actually happened. I have a question before...

Don't believe me? my setup is listed in my sig. Here's the deal. I'm a noob to motorsports, a wannabe DIY mechanic. I have a really good mechanic friend who helps me out a lot, though.. For a long time I thought my turbo was taking a crap on me, cuz it would boost right up to 14 psi but...

after trying to put back in the f-con... Since the engine was running fairly well, i decided it was time to hook back up the f-con. After plugging it in, the engine cranked, but didn't want to start. So i unplugged the f-con again, and plugged in the stock ECU.. WHen i wanted to start the...

When I connect the timing light, the RPM meter on the light shows double the rpm its really running. Any ideas? Once when we were playing around with some wiring around the cps, it showed correctly for a while, but now its bad again.. Also got slight miss in engine. Not a steady...

So i bought a Lexus afm from a member here, and after i pay him he says that it has no afm, like the lip afm housings. Can the afm operate without it?

When doing the Lexus afm upgrade, do i need to get the electronics from the upgraded afm if the electronics on the stock one is good? Or does the stock electronics work with the upgraded afm. Thanks.

Hey guys, most of the wiring underneath the hood, esp the ones running close to the engine have become so brittle that the insulation is starting to crack of. My question is how's the best way to go about replacing these wires. Is it one main harness that goes to all the sensors, or do i have...
