Re: Turbo 4age tercel

so... after much testing, tearing apart, and reassembling turbos, i finally got one that doesnt leak oil into the exhaust. great. put it all back together, and it seems to drive okay. I still have an active random misfire that is essentially untraceable due to the ecu limitations. My best guess is f...

Re: Turbo 4age tercel

Welp, sad day. This last sunday was the last autocross event. I was planning on going, so to ensure everything was up to snuff, I drove the car into work that friday morning. Car kept misfiring, but I thought it was due to it being kinda cold out, and I really hadnt tuned the car for that. Get to an...

Re: Turbo 4age tercel

Everything is back together. During the first two test runs, I had my main oil feed blow off the remote filter mount adapter. Damaged the turbo bushings a hair but everything else seems to be okay. Here is a picture of the radio running shadowdash. I havent customized the layout at all, except chang...

Re: Souping up a 3A Engine

I wonder if anyone has tried to make a 7a with a tercel 3a head on a 7afe engine (deleting the fuel injection) as 7afe blocks seem to be plentiful. I imagine getting the correct size timing belt would be hard though ive done it, and so has i think jon woods. mine was an absolute dog, but thats beca...

Re: Turbo 4age tercel

Great that you got it running. It must feel good to have such thing on the road. And yes, we are interested to hear or see how it performs from 0-60. so, i havent done a video yet cause while it ran, it also had a pretty nasty misfire under boost. with boosted cars you need to tighten your spark pl...

Re: Turbo 4age tercel

Welp, figured it out. After replacing the pump once again with a carquest pump meant for a ford bronco II, that didnt solve it. Upgrading the FPR to the aeromotive one i got from a friend also didnt solve it. It was still fuel starving. Looking at the fuel system, that only left the stretch of line ...

Re: observations on my first t4 transmission disassembly

If the oil is getting dark quickly, you have a bearing thats getting hot and scorching the oil. you need to find the bad bearing and replace it asap before it nukes the trans.

Re: Wanted Manual Transmission for 2wd swap

there are no 6 speeds. the 5+1 is incompatible with the fwd cars. hardest part is drilling the holes for the clutch box, and successfully removing the clutch cable guide on the firewall. brake booster will also have to get removed to drill holes. if you find the parts and need help, lmk. I converted...

idle circuit is apart of the carb. its what meters the fuel for idle. who did the clean and rebuild, and how was it cleaned?
