    Wiring for FCON and GCC with no VPC?

    Actually, some pics of the inputs/outputs of the VPC harness (and the GCC clip, so I know which ones are which) would help too.

    Dang, looked over the MKIV rail bit. No idea about that.

    afm/550s question

    You don't need anything other than the AFM and the injectors. The whole point of this mod was to keep it bolt on and simple. Everything else on the car is fine the way it is.

    Wiring for FCON and GCC with no VPC?

    Just as the title says, if anyone has the pinouts of which of the GCC wires go where on the FCON I'd much appreciate it. Yes, it plugs into the VPC harness...but I don't have the VPC harness only the FCON harness which has no plug for it. Thanks!

    Creative block to valvecover routing?

    Oil doesn't play nice with silicone, you'll have to shop around for some specialty silicone hose, I'm sure they make some. Not sure about the 90 bends and everything though, wait for someone else to chime in.

    MV Automatics

    Usually I'd complain about that but I'm saving over 50% compared to other places so I'll keep my yap shut :p Definitely wish they did though, with the prices they have they'd be swamped with work for the next decade.

    MV Automatics

    I was figuring I'd nab the card when I get home and give him a call Sunday night/should be his Monday morning.

    MV Automatics

    Does anyone keep in regular contact with them? I can't get them to answer any of my e-mails (except one reply, which left a bunch of questions). Are they bogged down with work or do they just avoid checking e-mails usually? I'd call but I left my international prepaid calling card at home and...

    parking brake shoes????

    Someone said that the ebrake shoes from a Rav4 or some mid 90s Toyota work, I can't remember off the top of my head. They're 1 mm oversized though so it should've been a tight fit. Well, all my e-brake hardware was shitty and the drum was gunked up so nothing wanted to fit. Ended up shearing...

    Soup caught fire.

    Two 90 degree coolant elbows on 7M motors (both 5/8"): one on the back of the head, one under the power steering resorvoir.

    Door locks, not locking. Help

    I have this same problem, usually when cold or over the winter. Last spring I took out the door handle cup thing, and shot some silicone lubricant onto the elver arm that unlocks/locks the door and it worked until a few weeks ago. Now I have to do what OP is doing: push lock switch with left...

    putting stock camshaft back in and taking out crowers read

    You're worried that taking out the crower camshafts and putting in the stock camshafts is not possible, because of how the journals have worn? I wouldn't slap them right in, I'd wait for someone to comment on if/how to measure/clean them up.

    most prestine supra*

    There's a guy who lives near me who had a purple Hemi (yes, the Hemi, not the 440) Plymouth Superbird parked on his front lawn (most days, if something else isn't parked on his front lawn). The front bumper is pushed in because he hit a pole (iirc, our conversation darted around). He daily...

    having a problem removing my turbo feed n retuen line

    I took the stock oil lines off with the turbo still bolted up, and I would absolutely never do it again. It took me somewhere near 6 hours of goofing around. Then when I went to put the braided lines I bought from DM on, I found out they wouldn't fit without loosening the turbo to manifold...

    ECU Ground location with a FFIM

    Unbolt them, clean them, bolt them back up. Now they are the best. If you're worried about the wires themselves, you can buy new wire and crimp new connectors on the ends, but most of the damn wires on the car split off into a few different looms...I've only been able to replace a few.

    ECU Ground location with a FFIM

    Horsepower output has nothing to do with electrical grounds. You need a ground to complete a circuit. All circuits go full circle. Think of water flowing through a turbine to generate electricity...the water can't just disappear, it still has to flow out of the system. A 20 year old chassis is...

    ECU Ground location with a FFIM

    There is no central ground point (block or chassis). As long as the ground is connected to a physically large piece of conductive material it is fine, it doesn't matter where it is (within reason...no lugnuts there, wiseguys).

    Please.....help...

    I was kidding, journal bearings and cam lobes don't just fall off, afaik :p OP: stop turning your car on, you need to fix what is wrong with it. If you don't listen to any of us you're going to get no help at all.
