Re: Question on Digital Gauge Cluster (sensors)

the oil pressure sensor is just a dummy light style, on/off. most 90s toyotas will have them, including the 20v's. The coolant sensor, I forget what I sourced for my friend, ill look into that...i believe its the same as the oil, on/off, no actual gage reading? Well let me know if you have more det...

Question on Digital Gauge Cluster (sensors)

hello! does anyone have the part numbers for the digital oil pressure sensors, digital coolant sensors, needed for the digital gauge cluster to read properly? I already have a digital fuel sending unit, but need these ones if anyone has the part numbers.

Let me know. Thanks!

What gear oil to use in T50 and Diff?

I’m curious as to what people use for oil (brand and weight) in a non-grinding T50 as well as the diff.

I was thinking of doing either AMS Oil 75W-90 in the transmission or Redline Shockproof 75W-90 GL-4.

Any other thoughts?

Need tire size help...

Hello everyone. I have a set of TE37V bronze wheels for my AE86 (stock body, no fender flares). I was curious on what tires I should run on 15x8.0, 0 offset. I keep seeing either run 195/50/15 or 205/50/15...or some combo of that for front and rears. Are there pros/cons for this? My use is going to ...

Re: Wanting to replace Kelforf 193-C Camshafts

Mechanically there is no problem. Just drop the new cams in, check the valve clearances, set the cam timing and you are good to go. Without going back through all your earlier posts, IIRC you packed this engine with a lot of high performance/race orientated parts, and chose long duration cams. Ther...

Re: Wanting to replace Kelforf 193-C Camshafts

I'd not expect those things to make too much difference. In a way it is the standard cam followers that cause the compromise as these effectively limit the cam lift potential, any perfomance cam then has to rely on long duration to get the job done, it is the long duration that can cause driveabili...

Wanting to replace Kelford 193-C Camshafts

Hello. I was wondering what is a good camshaft to have a decent cold start, hot start, smooth idle? I currently have my 193-C camshaft from Kelford and am not too happy with it. I think these are the specs: 298/288 Degrees advertised duration. 9.52mm/9.15mm lift What can I swap into the car to repla...
