    replacement air temperature sensor

    i have heard the best thing to do is just get a 2j sensor, plug the bung for the stock one, and move the sensor to somewhere just before the throttle plate. that way it doesnt heat soak like our stupid location does...

    Car Smokes Like a Freight Train!

    seems to me that it wouldnt be turbo, because if it was turbo, it would smoke after a pull reguardless of whether or not its warm... to me it sounds like valve seals. my old celica had bad seals, and it would billow smoke for a bit on startup.

    H.I.D. disaster

    is there a reason for that hatred? or just because you dont like the look of it on the car? i am assuming there is a practical reason for not liking it.

    Gauge Cluster Help

    ahh great. i was assured by a toyota tech that the pre 89 cluster would work fine, as long as it was from a turbo, going into my turbo. so apparently he was wrong...f**k. if i were to simply put a 90+ pcb on my pre 89 cluster, would that work?

    Octane Booster

    Hey all, i know there is a very in depth thread somewhere on here about additives for fuel to boost octane. if i remember correctly it was a type of alcohol that is added along with a type of oil that ends in a safer than race gas octane boost. if anyone can remind me what it is...

    what is the oil preassure on 1JZ?

    my oil pressure is about 20psi at idle, and 55 at cruising speed, but on a cold morning on start up it will touch 90. it depends on what oil you use also. summer i use 10w-30, winter i use 5w-30 the higher the weight the higher the pressure. and i use the stock oil pressure sending unit location.
