Does having an intercooler on a car that originally didn't have one cause it to be too lean or rich? There's all that space the the turbo has to fill before it gets to the intake manifold. I know there is ambient air in it...but it still has to compress the air in the IC to get the intake compressed. Maybe I'm just thinking wrong? Thanks for your time, Justin.

I think the IC is a big player in the longevity of a high comp block. Nothing like pushing super heated air into the high comp engine (or any engine). The IC is a good step towards lower combustion temps which means your head gaskets should last a little bit longer.

YEAH. and wonder why there has been a HUGE increase in demand for them!:-p

Yeah me too. I got lasered. There isn't any warning to lasers....they don't bounce off cars like a sonic wave would (K/A, X band. The "Radar" guns). The cop aims...pulls the trigger and by the time your unit goes off he has your speed.

Hello. You probably need a bigger alt, I think ea81s push about 40amps if you are lucky. You can swap a GM Alternator in there with MINOR modifications...it'll push 100amps. Read up...here Good luck man. Justin.

The hell do you use those for? Our cars can't speed! Cordless...so that means you have to turn it off evrytime?

Grounds? You should clean them and add some from your engine to frame and a fatty from neg battery post to engine. I'd think the fuel pump ground would be farther away than the alt's.

Nice! Keep on rollin' rollin' rollin'!!!

You forgot about the mullet.

Well how bad and long did it over heat for? What's the mileage? If it's a straight nice looking car with low miles, you could pick up another engine for it pretty cheap. If it is 4wd you can probably get more money by parting it out. What most likely happened is the heads are warped and/or the headgaskets are toasted.

You know everyone is using higher compression blocks for their turbos...I say just push more air into the turbo block:headbang:. But those damn head gaskets!

Don't use anything other than the metal reinforced ones. I've tried the improvised o-rings and when I tore the engine apart again...it wasn't there...i found it embedded in the pick up screen of the oil pump. :-\ I don't know how...but it was there(Not in one piece). Now I bought some of the OEM ones from http://www.rockauto.com They look like this: Part number is A4002-56062. You have to order 10 at a time and they're $1.60 USD a piece. I have 8 I could sell for that price plus postage:brow:.

Nice. 85k that's very nice. I have a 1989 just like that with 120k...I thought i was lucky.

I can assure that the valve isn't hitting the piston. Unless it some how got longer. It's probably a dirty HVLA (Hydraulic Valve Lash Adjuster). Change the oil and sometimes a different brand of filter will fix it. If you do that and it goes away for a while and comes back...it may be the oil pump seals or the pump itself. I wouldn't recommend the Stop leak in the water...because it stops leaks by clogging it up...which it does to everything in the engine. Try to find where the water is coming out at. Maybe the over flow? or a loose hose clamp? My $0.02 Justin.

Hopefully this works. Click here. It's from napa. NCP2692558 You'll need the boot kit...well...should get it. Or just use a hammer and straighten it? Just get it realigned...if you use the hammer method....but ultimately replace it. People will argue whether it's a good idea or not...I've done it to my wagon ...drove it for a couple thousand miles with the hammer fix. But I replaced it for safety measures.

I betcha you don't have the DP mounted to the tranny in the two spots, eh? I did the same, and had the same result. Bolted it to the mounting points no problem since. 15k ago. -Justin

Oh yeah, driveline turns.

Hmm.... Easy outs aren't easy. They should be sued. . Machine shop is the best bet...but you might be able to get another block for the cost of the shop...

Do you mean close to the block? or the head? If you mean the head, you could take it off and should have the whole shaft to use. If it's the block...do you have a welder? You could weld a big nut to the top of it and let it cool. Then wrench it out. I've done that to intake bolts in the head, never a head bolt...should work though, just cover the block up so it doesn't get slag or burnt.

Hello all. I have a 1987 Gl-10 turbo with a D/R tranny in it. I was getting a mad vibration from the front end...I replaced the bearing and balljoints. The vibration would happen around 60mph. I didn't feel it in the steering wheel and my wheels are balanced. So I thought it could be my half shaft, so I removed it and put a cup in the spindle and went RWD mode. It drove through the driveway and onto the road where I shifted into 2nd and all I heard was a rattle/scraping noise. Now the car won't go into any gear, and yes, I'm in 4wd...and not the midway. If I put it in 4wd and in neutral, the stub off the tranny still moves and makes noise. THis happened with my other tranny after some offroading. And to add, when I had the rear in the air, I would spin on tire and the other one wouldn't spin at all. Not the opposite (right, an open diff should do that) and not the same way (like an LSD would). Could it be the diff is causing my trannies to die? Thanks for your time. Justin Johnson

Oh yeah, as for the Toyotas, when they got sideways in the park, the Police were right there and we (the subaru scene) are the ones renting the grounds, shoulda had them ticketed. The a hole who puked in the bathroom...you suck. You guys with your STi's that did the cookies on the way out, were you mad that a older gen won the wheels(wait was it an older gen?)?....well I was going to write a response to Zap, but I can see why he's getting out of this. But just remember we learn from past experiences. WCSS7 wasn't as much fun as 6 or 8 because of the location and the non mud pit action. But thank you Zap. I know I and my crew had a blast, we did get kinda loud Sat night then Erik came over and punched us all in the necks and told us to shut up. But it did get loud after that, but I'm going to have to blame the Canadians. Damn rotten apples spoiling the bunch...or was it sour apples spoiling the bunch...all I know is that people in glass houses sink shi shi ships(Movie quote). END of POINTLESS RANT.

Thank you all that have put this show on. Thanks to the USMB and all the mods. So what's up with people getting burned out? What happened? Oh yeah...I did learn one thing this weekend. Canadians are people just like us. They may say eh? instead of what or duh, but that's cool. No really. I had a blast and those Cannucks freaking rock! Monstaru thanks for the help on getting my ********************* out of the pit. Noah...thanks for putting those "Yoters" in their place and getting me a shackle for the tow chain. Again. Thanks to the people for putting on an AWESOME show. Thanks to the sponsors. Thanks to the people who let us use the fairgrounds. I just hope some of the disrespectful people didn't ruin it for us. And on Saturday night, who ever broke the urinal divider, you suck.\ But seriously, I'd move to Canada, but I can't stand the constant snow, living in igloos, using snowmobiles to get around, and a 18 "Sack" of beer. So, where's next year's show?

He does good work!! I'm supposed to order some stickers from him, but I keep spacing it. Very good on prices.

Baja?
