and so it begins

oooo. ok man thnx a lot ill do that tommorow

Are you running a K&N FIPK cai???

If so can you tell me how you like it and what you noticed in changes in your car after the install???

[marc]

yes i am running the k&n intake. it is amazing, id say one of the best. if nto the best. ur turbo breathes a lot better w it alos, i noticed a difference right away in sound and power. i love the sound of my turbo with the intake.


another question, is there any way to get new gaskets for the fuel injectors w.o buying new injectors..im talking about the black peice that sits on the side of the block, adn the o-rings. i baught a gasket set but it did not come with them

[marc]

and also theres this THING on the passenger side of the block, its directly in back of the thermostat housing, its like a gear that sticks into the cam housing. does this have to be reset in any way? because i noticed its on a slide and can be adjusted up and down like the tps, so im just wondering if it needs to be set like the tps after

Oh MY god.....

First of all, yes you can buy new injector insulators (black rubber things that seal the injector to the cylinder head), grommets (the black rubber things that rest on the fuel rail) and the o-rings (the o-rings that seal the injector to the fuel rail) from the dealer, they are dealer only parts and are very cheap. You must replace the insulators and o-rings, the grommets don't seal anything so you don't have to replace them, I did because they were like $1 each.

Yep that gear thing that is on a "slide" is your Cam Position Sensor. It is the turbo's version of a distributor. Most new imports come with CPS's nowadays (turbo or non-turbo) so for an 87 to have one, it was state of the art back then. Anyways, again, the TSRM tells you how to install it correctly. I can break it down in a detailed post if the TSRM confuses you. You must replace the o-ring on the CPS, only $5 from the dealer, its a dealer only part.

As far as K&N being the best intake, that is incorrect. HKS makes a higher flowing air filter than a K&N, and doesn't use oil which can fuck up your MAF. I'm useing the Blitz SUS stainless steel intake, which is the best intake on the market for a turbo MK3 supra. It features a 200 micron stainless steel filter with a 150 micron snout. You wanna talk about loud? And supramacist has a non-turbo so any intake for a turbo will not fit on a non-turbo because they use different MAF's.

[supramacist]

Ya what he said. Non turbo. He just posted before I did.

Is there a decent $200 route to take here besides aem or something?

Keyword= Can
Its usually people who dont know what the hell their doing, and soak their K&N air filter in oil.

Blitz still kicks the shit out of a K&N anyday of the week.

[redmaro]

Ive been using K&N air filters for some time now and ive never had a problem with them. Just my .2 cents.

ok well ill be replacing the cusiosn for the injectors as soon as they come and the cps o ring tommorow...ive started puttin it back together already...cant wait to have this sucker up and running again.
