Is he on this forum too? how could I contact Paul Woods?

Anyone know what toyota gearbox would bolt up to the 3S-G block? I'm thinking of an FR project. Perhaps the T50 gearbox?

Thanks for that, handy tool to have. Cheers.

Bump... Anyone?

Well time has come to replace my clutch. I'd like to DIY this project, anyone have any links with a guide as how to remove the gearbox from the engine and under the car?

Cheers

Here's how I check for slip.... drive around to warm up the clutch normally. Put the car on an incline and stationary. Engage 4th, rev to 4500 release clutch and put your right foot down. If your clutch is ok then the engine should die. If the revs increase once released the clutch, stop immediatly ...

What engine oil has anyone found best in a rev2 turbo? Track day temps approx 30-35 deg C

Has anyone used these:

Can anyone recommend me a clutch kit? I use my car on trackdays 8-9 times a year. Running 1.1 bar boost, rest is standard.

Thanks

or the cable coming to the end of its life if it is a cable type of course

Any gains to be seen by upgrading the stock waste-gate actuator?
The stock does tend to trail off some boost after 5500 RPM.

What about pre-loading the stock actuator? how much should you give it?

thanks, I think that should sort me out

ok So here is how I would trouble shoot:

1) check speedo drive to see if it is producing a suitable output.
2) Check or renew the cable.
3) Lastly, new speedo unit in the dash.

I doubt the speedometer would fail, I have seen ones sill working after 200,000km!

Start with the speedo drive on the gearbox. Do you get the check engine light if you drive for more than 8 secs with RPM between 2.5-5k? If not then your speedo is prob partially working coz the ecu is still getting a signal but no display. (its error code 42 btw if you dont have a speed signal). So...

As above, I have the compressor not kicking in when I switch on the ac button. System is filled with gas. Its a 1991 model

Is there a methodical way to troubleshoot? Can I use the diagnosis of the engine to find a fault?

All help appreciated pls

I swapped my NA for a turbo. My NA had a mechanical speedo and the turbo is a rev 2 so electronic. While I am waiting for my mech speedo drive, I get the check engine light occasionaly and it is error 42 IE speed sensor error. Does this have to do with the electronic speedometer? Does this error eff...

I would definetly like one please! Sounds great .If I could get rid of the extra fuel dump the ECu does above 12PSI that alone would makeit worthwhile

There is no rear fog light. When I replaced the 3s-ge engine with the 3s-gte I also replaced all the wiring. Everything else works, its just that when I press the brake, this light lights up in the instrument pannel. Rather annoying so if there is no easier fix I was going to remove the bulb.

Couple of problems I have with the dash lights. I have converted an N/A to a turbo, and I have the oil quantity light (amber oil light) remaining on on the dash. The turbo engine does not have a connector for oil level, so should I just join this connector to earth or is there another way of fixing ...

The standard dump valve has a little piece of plastic that joins with a T to the dump valve, anyone have an idea as to what this does? it seems like its a one way valve allowing air through one way and not the other. Anyway mine sort of came apart. How usefull is this item and may I bypass it in som...
