    OBX Turbo-H Exhaust Syastem

    I have an OBX exhaust on my 91 CRX si (put the exhaust on about 6 years ago in high school). The exhaust is still in excellant shape (withstanding WI winters like a champ), sounds as good as the D16A6 can, and looked absolutely beautiful when I first received it. I don't think I would trust...

    TRD Shift knobs

    Maybe they changed the knobs throughout the years. Or the TRD knobs are lighter now. Either way mine felt identical on the hand scale. Back in high school I worked in a meet department so my hand scale is very well calibrated :)

    Toyota Red Coolant = ?

    So when switching from green to red is it adequate to put straight distilled water in the system, run the car with heat blasting for a while, drain, reapeat, then put in the red? Im not very familiar with this stuff and do not want any sludge forming in my cooling system.

    Water outlet housing torque spec

    Guys, I was wondering if any of you knew the torque spec on the water outlet housing? I have checked my TSRM and don't show a torque spec for the bolts which go into the head. Thanks, Dave

    Coolant leak question

    alright guys, the verdict is in. Turns out the previous owner forgot to put one of the three water outlet/Thermostat housing bolts in (only the 2 nuts on the studs were on it). Over time one of the two holding it on cam loose and the gasket spun a few degrees and we were left with a huge hole...

    Coolant leak question

    Yep, I agree that certain things, gaskets especially should be purchased only at Toyota. I will let you guys know what I find tomorrow after taking all the "clutter" off that part of the motor. Simple is a pretty relative term here, but this is quite a bit more simple then the other potential...

    Coolant leak question

    I hope so, but I think the leak is coming from above where those houses are. I finally know the heart sinking feeling others have felt when there car is just leaking tons of coolant all over the ground. I will be taking the area apart tomorrow and I also hope it is just a rubber line as the...

    bov question (comp surge D:)

    I just installed my SSQV today, and I noticed that the valve performs very well, but after blowing off, maybe 1 to 2 seconds after it blows off I hear surging (I only hear it free reving with the hood up and you make the BOV blow off). So unlike what you would expect, it responds instantly and...

    Hoods with cowl removed?

    I really like the hood on the MK3 stock and wouldn't change it. However, there is another car with a reverse cowl hood that an mk3 could be mistaken for which is not terrible like the probe. MMMMMM NSX - its a stretch I know :)

    How much do you boost in 1st gear?

    the AVC-R does have a gear by gear boost setting. I would make sure you don't have your 1st gear set differently from your other gears. Here is a link to the manuals - http://www.apexi-usa.com/product_electronics_detail.asp?id=200&pageNum=1
