    Would an off balance turbo cause this?

    I just recently bought a "rebuilt" CT-26 from a guy on the forum. New compressor wheel, and I beleive new shaft etc... I put it on (pretty straight forward) and it boosts fine. However for some reason it makes a weird noise at times (kind of like what a tire sounds like rubbing on the...

    Fuel Pulsation Dampener Leaking!

    Wonderin if anybody knows why fuel is leaking out of the top of the pulsation dampener on the fuel rail? I have confirmed, there is two washers in there and it is TIGHT. But it looks as though fuel is coming out of the little hole at the top of it. Overpressuring? what is going on!? I also...

    Replaced HG, Now I have Low Compression!

    I'll start out by saying before my head gasket "blew" (slightly), my compression was between 165-170. It was starting to show symptoms of a BHG (air bubbling out when I take rad cap off, misfiring, running rough...), so I tore it apart and started the HG project. Had the head machined, new...

    Where does this plug go from the Engine Harness?!

    I just did a HG repair. Connected everything and there is ONE plug (on the exhaust side of the harness) that I have no idea where it goes. There is oil pressure sender, cold start injector switch, coolant temp, MAF, etc all on the side right near the pwr steering resevoir. Heres a pic ...

    Valve stem seals?

    Just wondering how I go about changing my valve stem seals on my 91 7MGTE? I have read the book and tsrm but I am kind of confused as to what tool i need. Also, I have my head off. I just had it machined and then they washed it for me. Does that ruin my valve seals that are already in there?

    Water Temperature Sender Accuracy?

    I just purchased a prosport digital water temp. gauge. Couldnt find the M16x1.5 adaptor to thread into the temp sender for the stock gauge, but I have a 3/8", so i threaded it into the hole where the bvsv goes to try it out (temporarely). I will drive around and let the car reach operating...

    Overheating + Misfire... Suggestions?

    Problem #1 The coolant is boiling and spitting out of the overflow canister. I'll start by saying the car has previously had the head gasket replaced by Toyota. I have done a compression test as of today: Cyl #, in PSI 1. 180 2. 175 3. 175 4. 172 5. 175 6. 170 Also, I have...

    Cylinder Compression Numbers

    Just wanted to see what everyone thinks of these numbers. The previous owner told me the head gasket had been re-done by Toyota recently. I am thinking of upgrading to a metal HG with ARP for my power goals in the future, but I also dont know if maybe i already have one!? who knows...
