Im assuming this is your daily driver since you seem to need it. Your planning to do a turbo swap soon, odds are your going to have a lot of down time, due to many minor issues. I know from experience its not a good thing to deal with that as your daily driver. If you can afford it, buy...

2 things to add Dont buy it if its going to be your daily driver, your gonna have too much downtime cuz its gonna have problems And if you do buy it i wouldnt drive it too much or too hard with the boost leak, if the leak is large enough you could cook your turbo from overrevving it (the...

I just went thru this, you dont have to pull the motor but its a bitch to get it off, much easier to put it back on. Heres a few tips to make it easier. 1 Remove the coolant hose above it and remove the valve covers 2 you can purchase these things at sears, i forgot what theyre called but u...

The car is a party mobile, the ladys love it! Pop the trunk its got a hardwood dance floor! Over $40,000 invested?! He would have been better of investing 40 grand in the stock market right before it crashed. I can think of 40,000 better ways to spend $40,000.

MBC=Manual boost controler. On your turbo there is a fitting on the compressor side with a hose that runs to the wastegate actuator. The pressure the turbo creates operates the actuator. which opens the wastegaste slowly as neccesary to limit boost. Unplugging it will cause a dangerous boost...

As poodles said "DO NOT DRIVE IT!" There are three ways to blow a head gasket. 1) Coolant in cylinder 2) Oil in cylinder 3) Coolant and oil mix You may or may not have a BHG but you definitely have a problem. You could have a cracked block as others said. Or your block could have...

88-7MGTE: sounds like you have a connection problem or a bad bulb. 1) visually inspect your tail light bulbs make sure the fillament isnt, broken but still touching 2) take out the tail lamp failure sensor. Check to see if any of the components on the board have visual damage or a bad...

I recently had a problem with my tail lamp failure sensor. Previous threads have commented on how much the sensor causes problems, but I couldnt find a thread explaining how to remove it instead of replacing it. I wasnt willing to shell out the extra $$ at the stealership, or risk getting the...

Good to see he is recovering. I hope he continues to progress. He is a true hero and my best wishes are with him.

Your motors still good, it just needs a rebuild. Put a rod thru the block and its all done. Driving it jsut isnt smart. I had a bad rod knock in an accord, it sat for a bit, then I tried to move it across the driveway to where I was gonna work on it, and spent the next half hour cleaning...

Id say appeal it. IDK how it works in oregon but in mass, i go in front of a magistrate, if you can convince him that you dont deserve the ticket, or have a good driving record they often dismiss it. In my case they usually offer a reduced fine, but you still get the insurance surcharge. I...

USDM 7MGTE Motors have an EGR system. JDM 7MGTE Motors do not. If you use a JDM 7M make sure you also use the JDM computer, otherwise you will run lean at lower RPMs because the car thinks it has EGR system when it does not.

Both My Brake lights stopped working at the same time. The weird thing is my 3rd brake light (on the spoiler) still works. Checked fuses under hood, and on drivers kick pannel, all are good. After searching the forums I thought it might me that brake light failure sensor unit failure, but its...
