Re: Cheap Intercooler kits 80 series

Fitting a small cooler might not help you if it doesnt flow well enough. The big diesel engines with even the ordinary turbos move a lot of air. Something like this http://cgi.ebay.com.au/INTERCOOLER-TURBO-BAR-PLATE-ALUMINIUM-460-x-300-x-76-/110480932872?cmd=ViewItem&pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash ...

If i was you i would be getting a set of extractors for your car mate. Along with the extra power you will pick up dramatically improved economy. Ive got the 5vz-fe and standard i was getting about 400-450 out of a tank and when i swapped the original headers out for a set of extractors and a higher ...

Hey mate im not sure whats legal in your state so you might want to find out that first. If your not too fussed about that then read on - If you crank the torsion bars up and whack in a 2inch bodylift you can fit 33x12.5 no worries. If your looking for a bit more height you can stick in the ball ...

From what ive read through this thread its the boyfriend and brother that will be building, she is just the messenger. If its possible or not depends on them, What have they built, What can they build? etc etc.

In theory it works, but in theory communism works.

The Catch can wont fix the problem it will just deal with it - leaving the pipe off that will help the problem. This is pressurising the sump and that puts extra pressure on the seals and the like causing all that oil to get into places it isnt supposed to. As someone said before check your ...

Hey mate this is going to sound stupid but id check the fluid level. My friends and i have have bought 3 cars with faulty autos and all of them had either the wrong fluid or almost no fluid. Can you drive the car? If its possible to drive it and it drives ok id start looking for the problem elsewhere.

I have to agree with Struth this is not solving mates85 problem the motor he has is what it is, there cheap easy to fix and in my case reliable. The 3rz's do have valve problems and I could buy a complete motor and gearbox for a lot less than fixing the head on a 3rz. But anyway to try and solve ...
