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...

Re: Fuel problem? Timing issue? Won't stay running

Since bringing it home we've gone through a lot of different parts. Parts replaced include: Front and rear brake hardware. MR2 break upgrade O...

Re: Turbo 4age tercel

update: been trying so hard to get the car tuned. Initially i was having really bad issues with sharp lean AFR spikes as soon as boost rolled in, then it turned to the engine randomly losing fuel pressure while casually driving. Pumps are called pumps for a reason not Sucks...I was trying to pull fu...

Funny you mention that because I randomly thought about this a few days ago and wonder if he is JDNightFox on here. JDNightFox used to have a profile pic that looked like JayJay Idingo's dog mask thing. ...

Re: Turbo 4age tercel

Finally. Flywheel is back and installed. The reason the machine shop took so long with it is cause I dropped it off right before they fired a long timer engineer, and the guy had like a 3 month back log of work the shop had to catch up on. I also took it to a driveshaft shop to get it balanced. They...
