maybe I should consider selling my 91 mkIII. Not for the obvious reasons that many wifes want their husbands to sell their play toys, but for a reason I didn't see coming. Let me explain, I bought a new truck in 09, then in 2010 when the Camaro's came out, I traded a nearly paid off truck...

Does anyone offer the direct replacement cat besides the dealer, or is the only other option cutting down a generic or universal cat and welding 3 inch flanges on it? Wayne

When the engine is cold, the idle will come up to around 1600 rpms and stay there for maybe 2 minutes before it starts to come down. It used to when cold the idle would jump to about 1250-1300 rpms and then come right down to around 900 until warm. This is generally what it does after it has...

I have been having an intermittent air conditioning problem. Let me start off by saying I running a 1j and when the a/c is turned on the idle up works as it should Our temps here in Houston have just been hot, but pretty consistently within a couple degrees from day to day. Well, with the...

I will be getting a 1 piece aluminum driveshaft from shaftmasters. My question is are there any 1j guys running this shaft, and if so did they just use the 7m/154 shaft or did they have it legnthened (sp) to make up for the shallower 1j bellhousing? Spoke with Robert at shaftmasters and he...

Could someone break down exactly how this goes together? I have the trsm but I need to know which way the thrust cone spring goes in. Thanks Wayne

Well, I did the searches, went to the Turbo section here, googled, now I want those with 1j'd singles to chime in and have your opinions voiced. I want opinions on a/r's, footprints, warranties, customer service, workmanship, rebuidability, and overall satisfaction or dis-satisfaction...

Well all of a sudden my 1j'd r154 jumps out of first gear. Worked fine yesterday but today just started jumping out of 1st gear. The kicker is that that sometimes it will stay in 1st gear, but when it jumps out it doesn't feel like it is going all the way into gear. I have the HPF's short...

Well, I am coming down a two lane road, I am in the left lane. Just as I get there, mustang decides to bust a ubey in front of me, which isn't all that bad until he tries to drift it around, almost all the way around where I t-bone him in the driver's side fender and door. This all happened in...

This thing idles and runs great until I try to go to redline, it just falls off and kinda sputters at around 5500 rpms. Every where else in the powerband below say 5500, it drives perfectly, nice clean acceleration. Wideband says I am going crazy rich like high 7's to low 8's at WOT...

My interior cabin fan will not blow high when the high button is pushed, it will blow on low and medium just fine. When switched to auto the fan will blow fast, like it was switched on high with the high button. I have checked continuity at the fan resistor and all is well. I was hoping it...

Ken and I just finished the swap and it started right up after we primed it for a couple minutes. Much props to Ken for all his help. Now on to the glitch: When first started up with engine cold, we get the normal fast idle, then idle will come down to about 800 rpms, but when you blip...

What is the overall size of your intercoolers? I have been toldf to use a 24x12x3, wondering if the core is 24 or the overall is 24? Give me some ideas. Thanks Wayne

Just wondering if anyone had figured out a fix for the HID bi-xenon kits not energizing the high beam indicator on the dash when high beams are activated. Thanks Wayne

My 1j clip should be here in about three weeks, so I am starting to round up some of the stuff I thought would be easier to incorporate while engine is on the stand. would like to get some suggestions and pics would be great. Thanks Wayne

I am having some fuel pressure problems. The symptoms are kind of wacky. I can start it up but it quickly dies. Narrowed it down to fuel pressure since my prosport fuel pressure gauge sweeps from 30 psi to zero. So I unplugged the fuel pump resistor and bypassed it by jumpering the...

Well I drove to Colorado from Houston and had no problems whatsoever on the trip up. I have been there for about a month and the car is starting to have some issues. I know the air there is very thin, and I am reminded of that every time I go up the stairs from the basement I rented. I...

Must drive to Denver area for 6 week work assignment in the morning from Houston. Would enjoy meeting some of the local Denver guys since I won't be coming home for the weekends. Will post my mobile number as I probably won't have access to a computer. Wayne 713-894-2936

When the O2 sensor is unplugged, does is go into open loop and Vf goes to zero, or does Vf just go to zero? Been tackling some lean-rich issues. Thinking O2 sensor is way out of whack. Wayne

Car ran great stock--just wanted to put that out there. Now with big turbo and all other doo-dads it is all over the place. (AFR's) With the safc NEO I have to add 12% at idle or it goes crazy lean >17.1. When boost ramps up at a pound or two she stays at about 11.7-12.4, then more...
