Re: Steering rack woes

I used an '83 Trueno GT Apex chassis number and my '87 Trueno GT Apex chassis number for comparison on the Toyota EPC. 45503-19015 is 83-87 manual racks and 83-85 P/S racks, both are quantity 2 so no left or right. 45503-19025 is 85-87 P/S racks also quantity 2. Then for the outers it seems that nor...

Re: excessive oil pressure on fresh engine rebuild

I get about 90 psi max on 2 of my 16v engines (6kg/cm2 on gauge) both with the later type AE92/101 pumps.
I think when cold around 50-60 psi and around 30 psi at idle when up to temperature.

Re: Silvertop to blacktop camshaft conversion

I ran blacktop cams in a silvertop, just adjust the shims to suit the different cams and away you go.

Re: Starting my 20v blacktop

Have you 12V on the black/white wire at the coil and igniter with the key in the run/on position?
A quick check to see if the ecu is powered up is check for 5V on the yellow wire of the MAP sensor and TPS sensor.

If you have a timing light you can mark the intake pulley on the belt side and the cam side and even free revving you will see the pulley move when you shine the timing light at the pulley (timing light pickup on no.1 plug lead) The blacktop VVT works early in the revs whereas the silvertop VVT is e...

Re: "Kentucky AE86: A Levin Story"

Rear end vibration is most likely due to an aftermarket lsd. If you feed in a bit more power the lsd should lock and the inner tyre will slip instead.

Does the pulley oil return hole have to line up with the notch in the cam thrust face?
I would assume it does but don't have the parts to hand to check.
