Re: Blown head gasket scenarios/ diagnosis
I swear I smell water in my exhaust and I think I see it coming out of my oil cap when I open the oil cap with the motor running but I really do not have intrusion into my oil so it’s super trippy just trying to figure out the best way to diagnose.. I tested the coolant with the blue liquid stuff a...
Re: radiator
i may pick one up as well. 20% off 125+, ship to home. if i dont use it on a 2nd gen, the turbo tercel may benefit from an all aluminum rad.

Re: Hello from N. Arizona! 80' sedan dlx fwd
how did you set preload on the front wheel bearings? Aww yeah so, those things of course are like most toyota non sealed bearings, and fun to put together. I have an og print of the haynes manual that mentioned its similar to setting the preload on a rear-end, check preload and adjust the spacer as...

Re: 1987 Tercel 4wd project
Finally spring 2023 is arriving. I have been doing some minor jobs like installing a center console and front window trims. Today I finished repainting a 1987 US/Canada/Japan grille and of course I wanted to test it right away. So I attached some pictures of these jobs. My another 1987 project will...

Re: Turbo 4age tercel
Started the static tune process with a buddy. Unfortunately the turbo needs a doctor. I had to combine two different turbos to make something work, and I ended up putting new bearings inside of it. However, I'm not sure if I forgot an oil seal or something on the exhaust side because it's dumping ra...

Re: Turbo 4age tercel
Well, the fuel issue turned out to be an issue with the pick up. I modified mine to use 3/8" hose vs the stock 5/16", and the tube was not low enough in the gas. The walbro pump I put on exhibited the same symptoms but it was able to compress the air in the lines to 40psi lol. After fixing...

Re: Turbo 4age tercel
So...I picked up a laptop, a battery, topped up fluids, finished up misc wiring and vacuum line routing and started poking around with the ecu software. TunerStudioMS. Pretty easy to work with, but can get very overwhelming, though there are a lot of videos and resources out there to help with that....

Re: Turbo 4age tercel
A bit more progress. Started cleaning out the interior and fixed some rot holes on the shock towers, and patched shut a hole I had opened to fix a sub frame nut. I wasn't able to get as much done as I wanted as I got a nasty case of food poisoning this weekend. Yay... 20230327_200957.jpg 20230327_19...
