    Ebondragon87's 1991 Turbo build

    Well she failed emissions yesterday. NOx was 4.057, limit was 3.500. Cleaned the egr pipes and made sure everything was in working order which it was. Cleaned as much carbon as i could from the cylinders/valves using a BG44K trick a co-worker taught me and made sure ignition timing was correct...

    Crank pulley bolt removal

    Chain wrench and not a little one, like an 18-24 in one and a 1/2in breaker bar. I use a piece of and old timing belt in between the chain wrench and crank pulley so it doesn't damage the crank pulley. I've seen the starter trick put a breaker bar through a radiator.

    Running hotter than normal

    Check for any obstruction in air flow for the radiator, make sure your fan clutch isnt bound (though i doubt thats it). Good chance that its your thermostat.

    2jzgte swapped mk3 will crank but not start

    Have you had your battery tested? Recheck all connections for the battery relocation kit? The problem does sound electrical. Kinda sounds like you alternator may be weak and when you came to a stop your battery did not have enough life left to support the car. Thats just a guess though, happened...

    Ebondragon87's 1991 Turbo build

    Finally got time to replace everything this week, even did a transmission flush. Car runs great and shifts very smooth. As usual I forgot to take some pics of the interior. Now I'm onto my next dilemma. Do I buy a 1JZ and swap it in over the winter or stick with the 7M and just rebuild it? I'm...

    eBay gasket kit

    I bought an ebay gasket set once.... It was for my 92 stealth turbo. Virtually all of the gaskets fit poorly and the rear main seal lasted less than 100 miles. The brand was Evergreen I believe. Use fipg (form in place gasket) where Toyota calls for it.

    Ebondragon87's 1991 Turbo build

    So I opened up the timing cover today to replaced the front crank seal and to my surprise this is what I found, besides a brand new timing belt and very poorly installed front crank seal. The dowl pin for the tensioner came out, fortunetly it didnt do much damage. Everything...

    Question on Injector Seals

    If the vac leak was around the injectors it would be the grommet that surrounds the injector nozzle and rests in the intake manifold.

    gear oil problem

    I know the WRX guys have this problem, their solution is normally, https://www.grimmspeed.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=60_33_34_40&products_id=76&osCsid=bo3tc9r5i76112s6nqdiebvlm5 Other than that I think its normally caused from the trans being worn.

    what car did my motor come out of?

    I thought the Soarer and Chaser had front sump. ::shrug:: It could be a Chaser ecu, I've been trying to find decent pictures of the 2 to compare them but not much luck.
