Re: hzj80 fuel tower

yea, just about to update, quick responses as always. So i couldn't sleep and went out to figure it out. I had to take out the guard to the steering shaft joint and another plate at the apex of the spring tower. Still need to find out where the vacuum goes.

Re: flywheel flexplate balancing

Sorry the fsm calls it the "Driveplat" So for my setup, the sequence from the rear of the engine is, backing plate, flywheel, then Driveplat......then the Driveplat bolts to torque converter.

How do i upload pics?

Yup, its a material's heat capacity, basic chemistry. Would the combustion temperature decrease so great with an intercooler that stock ...

Anyway, I am only going to run 8-10psi, that money spent on pistons i can go intercooler, and like i said i am going to do the whole shibang on cooling. Curious ...

Re: 80 Series engine overheating & boost problems

Hey, i am putting a turbo on my 1hz, so naturally i am interested in your situation. If you have done all those things to your cooling system, it must something else. What about your tranny oil temp? Engine oil quality? Are your injectors cleaned? If the spray pattern is fawked you will have hot ...

Re: Buying a used 1hz
