Re: Blacktop 20v 4AGE In my Wagon
Well wanted to post an update. Today we dyno tested and tuned the wagon.

Re: Won't start after sitting a few days?
sounds like either the fuel pump is getting weak, or your accelerator pump isnt working

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: new vacuum advance unit, part # SMP 43898YM
the ports are in a lousy spot as the first gens use an external coil style dizzy.
