Re: Rockauto discount code

Current code per Rockauto Jessa is here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=15403 - Although it expires in a few days so we'll need a new one.

Went looking because I needed parts.

Re: 2nd Gen 4A-FE Swap

I am not that familiar with the way this graphic works, but it appears that blue is lean, green is "ideal", and red is rich A/F ratio. rpm across the bottom, and throttle position (or engine laod) along the left axis. The colors mean next to nothing as the software does not determine what...

Re: No more clutch in France

It appears RockAuto does international shipping, so you can purchase one from there. I also found several sellers on eBay that ship internationally as well.

Re: 2nd Gen 4A-FE Swap

McMasterCarr will almost certainly have the needed bolt. Just need to find out the thread pitch of the current cam bolt, add the depth of the pulley, and add to cart.

Re: 2nd Gen 4A-FE Swap

I managed to pickup both a spare cam bolt and distributor to start building the cam driven distributor setup. What I'll be doing is welding a rod onto the spare cam bolt and adding a couple grooves for the drive dear to grab, and same for the spare distributor. These are the gears I mentioned. Thes...

Re: 2nd Gen 4A-FE Swap

1. Check parts.toyota.com to see if they stock a replacement bolt for the engine (put in the year, make, model that the engine came from).

2. McMasterCarr - Find the size and thread pitch for the bolt and you'll almost undoubtedly find a replacement here. Same with the key.

Re: 2nd Gen 4A-FE Swap

I wouldn't worry about the exhaust so long as you put a heat shield on the distributor and/or the exhaust. The 4AGE's distributor sits in about the same position, the 2JZGE sits even closer to the exhaust runners, same with the 7M motor. In Saab 900 Turbos the distributor sits directly above the tur...

Re: Tercel Holley EFI?

That would be user Gasoline Fumes with Hornbeam, last time he posted was in 2011. I had actually started down that route, before switching to a 7AGE swap, having come across a mint Suzuki Swift in a junkyard (seriously, low mileage, clean interior, no rust, no idea why it was there) and pulled the e...

Re: Spoilt for engine choice! (4afe vs 4age vs 7afe vs 7age frankenmotor)

7age frankenmotor. (late 7a block with the bigport twinky head) all the cubes, the easy to get parts. aaaand also the access to ITB's or bike carbs etc. I would be happy with 130HP final wheel power. Im ok with spending some cash on it over the next 6-8 months to build the right combo, dont mind pi...

Don't know about the 3A, but if I remember correctly SirFoxx has one of the Holley EFI kits on his 7AGE car.

Re: Texas T4WD 7AGE Project

Been a minute, not a lot to report that pretty much everyone here wouldn't find par for the course. Mostly little things like buying parts, replacing small stuff, and working on other projects. On the one hand it's nice to have other vehicles so I'm in no rush to work on the Tercel, on the other I'd...

Re: The Definitive List of Ways to Lift a Tercel 4wd

Any before/after photos Simon? Did you make the spacers for the struts and springs or buy them?

Correct me if I'm wrong, wouldn't this effectively give another 1.5" of lift (1" up for the suspension, 1/2" up for the body due to crossmember drop)?

Re: The Definitive List of Ways to Lift a Tercel 4wd

Noah did an update in December last year, at the 4 year anniversary of the lift, and said he's put about 60k miles on it with the lift with no CV issues and on 27" tires.
