Pins and needles, pins and needles.

Sounds like an issue I had with one of my AE86s. Check the fuel circuit in the AFM. Try jumping the fuel test circuit at the diagnostic port. If the engine runs by jumping the fuel circuit then check the ground at the AFM plug. This is the ground bolted to the manifold, top of the runners under the ...

Head is no longer available. Carbs still available though.

As for pics of the oil routing I barely described, I never documented that set-up, figured no one would be interested. But if you can imagine, I drilled and tapped the hole for a screwed plug and gutted the pressure relief, installed a male flare fitting. Just bypassed the pressure galley in the blo...

Then I have no idea what the dealer is doing, but the hole was round, on four occasions. They didn't just keep giving me the same gasket, I still have them all.

The gaskets Toyota gets me have the round hole. The guys here can't seem to find the one I need.

That wasn't advice from Yoshi, I've done that myself, before Yoshi found out about it. My problem is finding a reliable source for the Aisin gasket. My latest install blocks the oil outlet completely routing the oil out the front of the pump assy. through an inline pressure bypass-filter-cooler back...

On the oil pump hole alignment. Welding and drilling is unnecessary. Aisin makes a gasket with an oval hole and a little porting in the block and pump housing is all that is necessary, just a port matching. No sense in taking a chance on warping the oil pump housing with the heat associated with wel...

If you have the funds, and a GOOD machine shop, have the oils squiters from a 4AG installed.

The latest model possible. Supposedly there is a 7A block that has oil squiters, I haven't seen one. Look to the '98 Celica as the corolla was not a "performance" engine(don't see how it would matter here). I can give you a 'go look at this' thing for your build. If you are using the 4AG o...

Twin boys are no problem, boys in general, girls on the other hand.....

Any hair left on your head?

For COP install. I have a Nissan 6 cylinder ignitor. I had this for a Megasquirt ECU project that is now gone. It has 6 separate ignitor circuits, comes in handy as it carries 2 spares in a 4 cylinder application.
$50 + shipping.

I have a set of JDM GZE coils on bracket with a set of Nology wires. One coil has a nicked plug but is fully functional. Wires have about a year of use. $150 plus shipping for the lot or pick up central coastal CA.

Going through my boxes and came across these trumpets. 65mm long, aluminum billet for silvertop ITBs. I paid like $250 for them, let 'em go for $150 plus shipping. They will work in the stock air box.

Has hardware, studs and nuts.

I just use my "Dremel" with a 1/2" barrel and 100 grit sleeve for things like this. Never thought about something like a deburring tool for the job.

If you can handle it, swap in a manual rack.

Oh yeah, a smooth combustion compartment, head and pistons really reduces the chance of detonation, especially at higher compression levels. A steady hand and a Dremel can get the job done. Do a bit of research to see just where and how much work needs to be done. Don't go ape **** on it right out t...

I have a ported 20R head with oversize stainless valves, Bronze silicon guides. Schneider 250-260 cam and dual 40DHLA Dell'orto carbs. Carbs are dry, but come with Italian rebuild kits and extra tuning parts, chokes, jets, air emulsion tubes etc.. Mallory fuel pump and pressure regulator. Manifold i...

As far as the loud exhaust goes here in Cali, They don't whip out a Db meter, they just say your exhaust is too loud and give you a Ref ticket. Funny thing about that is the exhaust is tested at idle and 2500rpm, when the exhaust is actually quiet. You get pulled over when you hammer the throttle, i...

EGR, not talking about removal, talking about function. Used items will eventually run out. I have come across vehicles that aftermarket suppliers no longer have available. $500 exemption is a one time thing, they won't allow it as an ongoing process. U-bend and couplings on my app were denied, not ...

As far as EVs? I would like to have one, but when I commute 200 miles a day, not exaggerating that, sometimes more, and the only cars that have that type of range cost $100K, and the battery pack costs more to replace than a good build on my engine. I have a few reservations on them to say the least.

I'm not looking to get away with modding my car 'under the radar', I'm just looking forward to the day when I don't have to look for obsolete, used parts to keep my car on the road. As it stands, I have boxes of the typical failure items for my MR2. This year I had to keep my car benched due to a pa...

I know this is the fun talk section, and this is not a fun subject. Anybody have any good news on the readmittance of the rolling exemption or the "10%" exemption? The 10% thing was, as it was told to me from a BAR rep, when a certain year and earlier of all cars on the road dipped their n...

Going through my shelves and I came across parts from my '89 AE92, the sunroof motor and domelight/sunroof switch assy. Switch assy. is in gray.

Sweet! She's a keeper! The girlfriend too.

Oh yeah, large port head with T-vis intact.

So, what was the outcome on this? I can tell you a 7AGE is a fantastic daily driver machine. I did a budget build on one of these and the guy that has it loves it! It was a mild build for sure, stock valves with mild port work and a WEB Cams 294 grind set of cams. Used USDM low comp pistons on the s...

I might consider trading the AW11 and speed3 for an S-FR, if they ever get it out, and released in the US

Maybe I shouldn't have said addicted, Next they'll put cars on the class 1 narcotic list!
