ABS Sensor misery mk3 donor for mk2 or alternative?

Has anyone tried the MK3 abs sensors in a mk2 hub to any success??? Also i was led to believe that camry sensors maybe the same and possibly the hubs. Are there any other donors for this, i was guessing celica abs hubs may be the same? I need 2 abs sensors for my rear hubs, annoying thing is i had a...

Re: Stuck in low boost mode rev1 turbo

If you have a basically std spec engine but have fitted a walbro 255 pump, the engine will run way too rich and kill the power and bore wash the engine. I would suggest you either run a stand alone ecu to controll the extra fueling and do all the tuning stuff or return pump to std and then start lo...

Knock sensor location and ease of removal? also how to test?

As the title suggests, I was wondering where the knock sensor is located, how easy or not it is to get too and finally how can you test it other than swapping out.

Also for the dummies amongst us, could a very knowledgeable person possibly educate us into what the sensor does/how it works?

Re: Nice car on ebay v8 mk1

Looks purpose full and a fair old weapon, and no doubt a handfull, its bound to be.

But its a bit Fugly.:|


I know its a lot of money, but on the other hand, you try and build one like that for less.

I wouldn't spend 10k on a mk1 but someone might.
