    Speedvision 270/280 cams

    Yeah ... I kinda sorta wondered about that??? These car's and motor's are kinda old these day's ... And that makes "getting support" from vendor's kinda "tricky" I would imagine??? But folks do have these cams and maybe some of them are on here and will chime in?? Short of that ... if you can...

    LOL, well you know fun while it last as it were! Not heard of that one either, but I doubt it's a bolt in swap??? Back in the day on Tercelonline, there were a couple of 3 sgte swaps! But everyone said that while they were freakish fast, they handled like crap?? To much weight over the front...

    What compressor to 1.8l 143hp engine?

    I think your in the wrong place??? The 1 zz-Fe or a supercharger, is not really a Glanza/Startelet/Tercel/Paseo thing??? We use a different class of motors here, 1.3 4efte's and 1.5 5efte. So most likely not a lot of knowledge here on what your doing?? ::)

    Oxygen O2 Lambda Sensor

    You can check it with a dvom. Back prob the wires, ground and a hot. If it's a narrow band it should try and stay at 1 volt DC but it can't so if working properly , it will fluctuate rapidly as the ecu tries to maintain a stoichiometric, AFR at idle and part throttle ie 14.7 which is equal to...

    Help finishing proyect 5efe turbo

    A Terk!!! LOL well welcome aboard! I did not know any were still alive these days! And first I will say ... don't even think about running 24 psi until you get the tune sorted first!!!! And until then the WI , when properly setup is fantastic but for maximum benefit of WI?? You would need to...

    Damaged Front Control Arm Mount

    Yeah the tape! As I said (I think) no first hand experience here. But "they say" you have to wrap in the opposite direction to the twist to get it in as it were. And when I looked at a lot of the "Poly " You Tubes" lot's of guys took sand paper to to them and so even milled them down?? So I...

    Damaged Front Control Arm Mount

    New tabs can be cut and welded back in place. But it's a "Precision Job!" A "Race Car shop or a Collision Repair shop" ... a good one! Could do it but I have no idea of the cost?? But going forward you might wanna consider doing this with the bushings. ...

    Forged Piston Skirt Cracked

    Hmm well I have not seen the car?? But if it's been damaged and badly repaired ... that's another whole kettle of fish! Cuz unless you can do body work, frame repair and paint or have good friends who can ... the phrase "Money Pit" comes to mind and yeah .. it has no motor, now. But just give...

    Forged Piston Skirt Cracked

    LOL well 5 yrs and 2k imply s that "something was off?? And now we know that clearly the motor was not right! Still aside from that how is the car?? Is it a dented rust bucket?? Is the suspension sound (all of which, I change anyway but not my point.) :) If the car is otherwise sound?? You...

    Forged Piston Skirt Cracked

    Naw, you should make that "when you get back to it" not if. :) It sees like "someone" did not double check there work?? Or if they did ... did not like what they saw but figured "good enough??" Sigh ... I've done that before, with my first double overhead cam motor, belt snapped and bent all...

    Forged Piston Skirt Cracked

    Well ... that sucks! So that leaves us "amateurs to guessing" as to what went wrong??? So ... excellent pictures and what I see in the photo of the failed skirt, is a vertical were pattern slightly to the right side of the failure point??? All the small pistons grooves are gone from that area...

    Forged Piston Skirt Cracked

    WOW that is pretty messed up! I've not seen anything like that before?? A thought it would not hurt to contact the piston manufacture and get there assessment. If it is a failure on there part, Im sure they would want to know or perhaps they could give a better idea of what went wrong??

    Plug And Play ECU for TDO4

    You are going about this "ASS Backwards??" The limitations of the ECU determine Fuel and timing not the turbo??? Standalone;s let you control fuel and timing ... they don't care about what turbo your running?? You would need a ECU that has "auto tune capability" and you would need to have a Wide...

    4efte engine

    Rings break crap goes wrong! As longs as it's not your only car?? You can rebuild it, but it sounds like you did "something wrong" the first time ... so you need to figure out what that was and don't do it again. :)

    Map sensor

    Thanks for info! And actual working running car is not the best place for my mad plan ... admittedly. :) But taking voltage scaling into account now ... I found this.: https://www.robietherobot.com/storm/mapsensor.htm GM 1 bar (doesn't count) 2 bar good to 14.7 psi and the 3 bar 44.1 psi...

    Creaking Polly Bushes

    They do tend to squeak as the lube gets squeezed out after about 10,000 miles??? The Teflon tape does seem to be the way to go. But you have to get the tape in there without it getting peeled out of place as it goes in. here is a clip...

    Map sensor

    Uh WOW! That looks to be pretty through trouble shooting ... thanks for sharing. :) That said it looks like your simplest option is to take "Jay" up on his offer. :) But most likely, that may give you a working part that is better than the dead one you have now?? So there is that. Plan B and...
