Well if the crank alone can walk imagine what the whole car can do!

They originally wanted to use a 7M-GTE but it made too much torque. :biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh: That explains why it's all sticky.

88 Pulsar NX. Common as hell around here and makes a great commuter car. I loved mine, it was the most fun disposable car I've ever owned. Averaged 40 mpg on the highway, too.

Some nicer wheels and a little lower and it will look great. The Cressida is such an underappreciated car.

Okay, lets talk grounds. Whenever I see a post about electrical problems the post invariably says "I checked the grounds, they're good" or something to that effect. If you do not remove the ground, clean it, and reattach it, then you didn't really check it and have no idea if it's good...

This is going to be a bit rough since lighting was poor today. I'll take better pictures tomorrow when it isn't overcast and miserable. Every MKIII owner, or any other old imported car owner, knows about intermittent electrical problems. Occasionally the car won't start. It idles poorly...

They're interchangeable.

IRC the pre-89 has a dampner on it, the 89+ does not.

We don't hold that against you. in public

195 lb-ft. Have fun, torquing the stupid thing down is not as easy as getting it off.

Never did make it to the dyno. Car's not exactly street legal so I only take it out on special occasions. There's a big meet in the works for SoCal that will include a dyno day, if it goes down I'll get you your numbers. I run MAFT-Pro with fuel control. I can run timing control as well but...

I have an all motor car and I love it. I love the way it sounds, I love the way it drives, and it's as fast as I planned it to be. Not as fast as a modded turbo but much faster than people expect.

That happens a lot. When I first got my first Supra it would do the same thing. Turned out the connector for the VSV was bad and the wires would touch when the stars aligned. Took me forever to isolate it.

Dude, that's pretty awesome. Definitely keep us updated on this.

What kind of plugs are you using?

Getting the pulley off is easy. Just use a long breaker bar and crank the engine to loosen it. Tightening that stupid bolt car be a real pain. Personally, I just feed some rope into the #1 cylinder on the compression stroke and use that to lock the crank, then I can torque it down.

Well, it controls your idle speed so there maybe something wrong with it or a bad connection. There are tests for that in the TSRM linked to above. You might also want to check your water temperature sensor. The car might be stuck in warm-up because of a loose connection or failed sensor...

Not a dumb question at all. A stock 7M does peak long before 7k RPM but a modified engine can peak higher than that and the stock rev limit becomes a restriction. One of the benefits of going standalone is bypassing many of those built in restrictions.

He's just doing his thing

Did you check your ISC?
