Oh my god, I never knew who sang that song. Thank you.
I acquired a manual PW0 ecu for my B16A DA. With a few rotations and a better ground it fired right up and flew to 3-4k rpms since the throttle plate won't close completely now lol. Was really excited until it scared the shit out of me thinking it was going to runaway and was rather deafening with only the upper part of a header too. It ran rather beautifully for not running properly in the last few years.
I was never quite able to get the cams to line up properly when timing it, I'm thinking the head has been decked possibly since the timing belt still has a ton of slack too and the previous owner "replaced a headgasket and didn't time it".
After those issues are addressed I'll have to decide to either part out the worn out, leaky, rattlecanned, abused shell with 148k extremely hard miles which needs like a restoration and selling the motor or to keep the motor and rebuild it for my car or a shell I buy.
Also am probably going to blow all my Christmas money on ITR suspension, balljoints, bushings and some other bits for my car :v:
[QUOTE=Tiersin;38956512]Got the new turbo back in the MR2 yesterday. Ran into an exhaust manifold stud that has stripped the threads in the head so we had to re-tap that one to a size bigger, but it worked out OK. Gonna get the rest of the intake back on it today and fire it back up.
Oil seal on the exhaust side of the turbo was the main culprit for the failure. All the turbine fins were still there but the shaft play was ridiculous. Oh well, cant wait to see the difference between the CT26 and the CT20b.[/QUOTE]
ct20b is smaller than the ct26
at least, with supra's turbine housing in mind
"Nother update:
Removed clog(?) still heats up way to fast
Master cylinder, brakes are tight now save the ABS unit to which I don't know how to bleed
Dash back together complete with Kenwood stereo AM/FM/CD/iPod/AUX
Ran a new antena wire as the old one had been ripped apart on the radio side and the power antenna only sorta works. Its kinked.
Amp, sub and Cap comes later.
It's also not burning all the fuel, what could it be?
O2 sensor?
Ign Coil?
*shudder* Head gasket....?

AFAIK just bleed all hell through the calipers in the proper bleeding order, you shouldn't need to bleed the ABS as it should push through.
Possibly o2 sensor, I should be able to find you a nice Denso o2 sensor to replace your primary.
The coil? I don't think so, however the timing could be retarded or something so it couldn't hurt to check it and adjust it.
If you get bubbles in the radiator with the cap off or there's coolant in your oil/oil in your coolant, yes. Otherwise, very unlikely.

Thank you, and luckily I recently bought a computer reader. One of these bad boys:
[img]http://a1.trd.cm/thaisecondhand/201207/14c/10203162_0.jpg[/img]
I'm reading zero codes/faults. My ABS and SRS lights are still on but I'm thinking those are gonna be idiot lights.
Theres no bubbles as far as I can tell and it idles pretty damn smooth, however, when I flushed it yesterday the water/coolant/rust/rotten antifreeze* had a small rainbow effect.
I [i]know[/i] that oil does that to water, so now I'm just a tad worried. It's not that I can't fix it, it's just time consuming.
*Antifreeze is Etheline glycol dyed green, it's of an organic nature and after some time, can rot.

Everything is back together. The only thing it needs now is some coolant. Freaking Nissan and your torque specs on every bolt. How am I to get a torque wrench in those crevices. Hand-tight everything for the first time I guess (I suppose you're supposed to torque it when engine's out the car but fuckit).

Guess the car firing-up would be a Christmas present. She better like it, popped a couple of veins over this

Just remember to breathe when you're done.
Why for you disagree me shiban? Is it the antifreeze thing?

It's cool.
And ze engine bay is pretty, with all the mechanical whozy-whatzits, it almost looks steam punk.
Almost...
Still shiny though.
I love engine bays, they're p cute man.
paint your valve cover and it'll be even shinier
Am I the only one that hates all the plastic shrouds they slap on engines now? I WANT to see the guts, the outside of my car looks pretty enough, and to me popping the hood and seeing 30 pounds of plastic is not attractive. Plus, a lot of guys that track their NC miata's have blown coil packs due to them overheating underneath all the plastic.
[QUOTE=ThermalArc;38970477]ct20b is smaller than the ct26

The MR2 has the twin scroll exhaust housing for the 20b which was improved slightly over the CT26. Also the ceramic turbine wheel helps it spool decently quicker. Nothing night and day but may as well upgrade as you go.
Was driving over the mountains when I lost my wiper fluid. Didn't know at the time if it was the pump or not but for two more hours I was trying to see through parts of the windshield these shitty wipers DID work on.
Arrive at parents and find it's not the pump but the cold has fractured the line to the nozzles. Go to shop to get more tube and find that I'm using aquarium hose that's gone brittle. :suicide:
Install new hose and find that because I kept adjusting the nozzles as time passed (it kept getting weaker and weaker....because some joint hidden behind the battery had been clogging up) the pressure back at normal means I'm launching wiper fluid over the roof of my car. Oops.
I send my wiper fluid over my roof as well, I don't even know how to adjust the nozzles. I've looked, but they seem to be stuck in one position oddly enough.

QUICK RIG IT UP TO SHOOT OTHER CARS BESIDE YOU AND BEHIND YOU! (Maximum troll if you have headlight squirters and squirt peoples rears with them :v:)
I rigged my headlight washer squirters backward, I can now shoot at pedestrian and wet their pants.
Mine are just held in with a piece of metal and a plastic tab. I can adjust them with needle nosed pliers.
Mine don't even work at all. They were intermittent for a bit but now it doesn't do anything. Not even a a wirr from the pump.
Maybe I'll diagnose it tomorrow, being a Citroen I bet it's an electrical problem in the most inaccessible place possible.
We talking about wipers or fluid sprayers..?
Cos I just remembered that my grand am's wiper settings were:
Low(fast, like too fast for anything but nigh downpour
High(SUPERFUCKINGFAST, like holy shit why GM?)
240's squirters squirt way behind the car too.
Test drove it to shit today even doing madd skiddzzz. Aside from the horrid exhaust manifold leak, everything checks out. No overheat, nothing. Not even BHG. New oil, bigger filter, new sensors did the trick. Need to tighten a coolant clamp but that's it. Tranny grinding; def needs its overdue oil change
Good to finaly see that your k24 is back from the dead
I have no windshield washer fluid on my Civic, had to remove the reservoir to make room for charge piping.
on our GMC the headlight sprayers were stupid and amazingly useful
we got into a road rage race with some dumb 3 series convertible so i pull up next to him on the highway and blast him
car covered in windshield wiper fluid
great success
Shit. I knew I forgot something.
When I had my head reground and the gasket replaced I didn't get the system flushed of oil.
Just checked my reserve tank and it's full of oil contamination. Check elsewhere and it's all over the place. :suicide:
