    Oil Pressure...Mechanical or Electrical???

    What kind of Oil Pressure guages does everyone use? Mechanical or Electrical? I'm leaning more towards the electrical just because I don't want to worry about a leak in the cabin. Also where is the best place to mount the sender unit? Will it fit in the stock senders location? Or would it be...

    Fan Motors

    Hi I had a question about the two fan motors for my 7mgte. It seems the previous owner had cut the connectors of both fans, leaving a blue (hot wire?) and ground wire for both fans. Does anyone know how I can possible make these work? Or should I run it to a toggle switch so I can make them turn...

    Finally motor is in!

    After gathering parts, saving money, and long wee hours of the night I finally dropped my motor in my car. I still need to plug in everything, fill all my liquids and hook up various hoses. Hopefully everything goes good. Anyone have any insight as far as any precautions? The motor has been...

    Lower Bellhousing Dust Cover

    I must have confused you Bishop. I know the whole complete bellhousing has 2 covers for it. The "dust" cover im talking about goes between the transmission and engine at the bottom. It is bolted by two brackets which are bolted the block on both sides. It may just act as a dust shield but mine...

    how much is a clutch job

    Do the clutch job yourself dude. My motor is currently out of my car which was a plus and it only took me 20 minutes to install the clutch intself and put the tyranny and engine together. Depending on how long it takes for you to jack the car up, install the clutch, and put back it depends on...

    Lower Bellhousing Dust Cover

    Hi everyone does anyone know if the R154 comes with a lower transmission Dust cover? It is a thin plate that is "sandwiched" when the transmission bellhousing bolts to the engine brackets. I just completed a cltch install and it was pretty straightforward...however it seems that the dust cover...

    Boost pressures at altitude?

    You got the math part down, and it makes complete sense. An aftermarket boost guage would definately give you what you're looking for. Now it's just comes down to taste. :beer: Which brand?

    Oil Pressure Sending Unit

    that would be great if I could go off another tapped place in the block. Would these holes be blocked off by a plate? Or how would I know if a certain spot would be sufficient? Im thinking of just running an electric autometer guage that way I dont have to worry about the oil line leaking into...

    Oil Pressure Sending Unit

    After searching all day, I found a tool at NAPA which was a SST that removed the sender unit just fine. However, I'm running into another problem with hooking up an aftermarket mechanical oil pres. guage. According to another thread the Autometer opg is 1/8 npt and the threads on the jdm are...

However, the engine that im putting in looks like it has some kind of sending unit, but it doesn't have the spherical thing which is pictured...just a round grey thing with a...

    Hoppin on the good ol' bandwagon

    I know it's a O2 sensor that goes on the turbo elbow (exhaust side). As far as what harm it does off I'm not sure, but I think it would have something to do with A/F maybe? Does anyone know what the blue wire does on an 02 sensor for the elbow?

    Hoppin on the good ol' bandwagon

    Ok, does anyone know if it will cause negative effects to the engine if the spherical thing is not on there? By not on there, I mean there's still like metal thing protruding there. Anyone know how to remove it? I also discovered a couple of things I had questions about... 1. On the 02...

However, on the engine I plan on putting in it doesn't have the spherical object on it; just little metal rod looking thing. Does anyone know how this thing comes off? I will try and have pics soon for my other...

    Grim - My car is an 89. But the first time the 7mgte was swapped in my car; I'm not sure what year the harness or engine is from unfortunately. Ideal - I will take your advic on removing the TB. Should I install the wiring harness on the engine while it is out of the car or while it's in the...
