Re: Turbo 4age tercel

Well, good news. I choked down the price of new, quality hitachi coil packs, and i think that fixed my misfire. I've been driving it the last few days with the old packs, and once it warmed up the engine would not misfire. However, with the hitachi coils, there are no more misfires, even when dead c...

Re: Turbo 4age tercel

Mechanically the engine is okay (well, not really. theres a bunch of slop in the piston-to-cylinder due to the machine shop fucking up the bore -- not enough to cause piston slap, but more than there should be). I am still leaning towards this being an ecu issue, or a coil pack issue. No, I dont ha...

Re: Turbo 4age tercel

This might be a big issue or not. Could you swap spark plugs between cylinders 3 & 4 and injectors between cylinders 2 & 3? Then you could retest if the very same repeats or not in cylinder 3. this is a fairly big issue. parts within the ecu should not be burning out. i tried swapping injec...

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: Souping up a 3A Engine

It was a carb shop site that wrote that under the jets category. i dont think anyone carries aisin jets. and dont use jb weld, use solder....
