Oh and on another note is there any way to read the knock sensor or hook any kind of meter to the knock sensor to find out if this tick IS or isnt pre-ignition?

Had a thread about a week ago talking about my engine making a ticking noise under boost.( http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27038 ) Most all responses talked about having a detonation issue. Just got some 440cc injectors installed and the thing dumps black smoke under boost but...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the info, I have some 440cc injectors in the mail right now, we'll see how they help. Edit: gonna get a timing light tomorrow to adjust that too

I bought the supra with a blown GE. I planned on boosting it eventually so when i bought the new engine I went ahead and bought the GTE. I thought it was going to be a long block cuz thats what they said on the website, but it wasnt. So in an act of desperation to get the car running I just used...

Heres the deal, im running a GTE shortblock with all the GE electronics/intake/sensors etc. Long story but heres the problem. I notice that when it gets in boost it starts to make a ticking noise. Doesnt sound harsh enough to be knock and was wondering if anyone else has had this problem or...

bump...

Alright heres the deal... My auto tranny crapped out on me, just sat and slipped forever. I had a mk2 with a perfectly fine W58 in it so I took that out and dropped it in the mk3. I got all the extra parts needed and finally got it running the other day but the speedo doesnt work. It didnt work...

Vortech calls it a FMU sooo FPR or FMU, FMU i think only raises pressure under boost where as a FPR raises it full time

bump.. yes i mean fuel management unit and i read sumwhere on here a 6:1 FMU is good for the N/A injectors. Anyone help please?

So I put my 6:1 FMU on the supra and when it boosts it runs...very rich. Im running the N/A yellow injectors(long story if you havent followed up on my build up) but even then im only running about 5psi of boost at the moment and when it does boost it dumps a hefty amount of black smoke. Figured...

I have a turbonetics Deltagate 2 and it sticks open after i get on it about one time. It is set at 7psi and like i said it will get there about one time and then I can only get about 1-2psi after that and can hear the exhaust constantly exiting the dump tube. It must become unstuck when it cools...

I just got my X02Racing manifold in the mail today and in the process of installing it I noticed that one of the tubes on the header hits the oil filter. The oil filter is threaded onto the block because i do not have the stock relocator. Some auto parts stores offer universal type relocators...

Anyone have one of these manifolds? If so will the position of the turbo on it hit the distributor? Thanks much! -Gary

When I start my car and its still cold the engine seems to have very low power. In park ill tap the throttle about 1/4 down and the RPMs will fall and then rise like normal, like it mis-fires. But when it warms up the problem will go away and it runs like a champ. It doesnt blow any smoke and as...

BTW - I first noticed this noise when I hooked the vacuum line to the heater actuator thing on the firewall on the passenger side...

I got the waterfall behind the dash sound too. It sounds like those little in home waterfalls people put in their rooms to fall asleep haha. But the thing is, it doesnt overheat a bit, the coolant never rises or falls and is clean, doesnt blow a lick of smoke(assuming it cant be a...

Alright well I have a mk2 that I had fixed up a long time ago but it sits around now and I was thinking about taking the W58 out of it and putting it in my Mk3 since its automatic right now. My question is, are the connectors on the mk2 and mk3 w58's any different from eachother? Would I still...

I had the same problem on my s14 with a turbonetics deltagate wastegateII. When the wastegate wasnt fully hot from running it hard it would work fine. But after it got hot from getting on the boost a few times it would stick open. Then I would shut it off and let it cool down and boom, it would...

Well I noticed my valve-train makes noise(always has), like I can hear the cams rotating around. But its very quiet(a slight "tick tick tick"), I can only hear it in the car when im stopped and the stereo/heater is off and everything or when the hood is popped. Just wondering if this is normal...

Where is the fuel pump resistor?
