    testing the waters

    so just out of curiosity... what's everyone think the going rate is for a 92 blk/blk ty with 20k and a blown driver side head gasket? debating selling as is or having it fixed then selling. Going to be leaving the 7th ring of hell aka California this year, and not sure if I want to lug a...

    running rich on 4 cyl?

    without going into a drawn out diatribe here's what's happening... the truck runs like its not firing on all cylinders or the timing is off... there's no power and you can hear the exhaust popping at idle. i pulled the spark plugs on the passenger side and all 3 are black. On the drivers...

    15psi = 15* right?

    my ty is running a lil sluggish and is only getting 11.8mpg with mostly freeway driving... I hooked up DM and did a couple WOT blasts down a back road and it's even worse at WOT. I'm pretty much getting 1* for every psi of boost. I know the gas here in cali is pretty watered down, but this...

    SoCal SyTy Summer Gathering?

    It's been at least 7 years since I've seen another SyTy that runs... yes, really. I'm seeing quite a few socal guys posting on here these days, so we COULD put together a decent get together... provided it's at a time/date and location that's reasonable for everyone. I'm probably the furthest...

    Blitz DTT DCII turbo timer (sold)

    Bov bs

    so i searched through the BOV threads and didn't find anything covering the issue I'm having. In a nutshell the BOV is acting like a wastegate and not a BOV. I have a Blitz Super Sound Blow Off Valve, with the vacuum line tee'd into the line going to the vacuum ball under the battery. As soon...

    tough guy in Jeep Overland

    not really a "kill" but pretty funny. decided to drive the Ty to work today. On the way to the freeway the road is 2 lanes in each direction. I'm coming up to a stop sign when i notice this Jeep behind me right on my ass. The guy swings out to the right lane and pulls up next to me at...

    socal syty stickers!

    I found 3 of these in my tool box... they're 8", white with red outline. These are the kind where you peel the back off, stick it on, go over it with a credit card, and then peel the top part off. $5ea, first person to call dibs gets em! putting this in the western forum since it's a regional...

    upper IC overflow nozzle broke off

    i still have the piece but is this thing even necessary? I've always had a little black cap over the end of it and never even used an actual overflow hose. I can't be the only one who's broken this thing off. Is it vital to try to reattach this thing or can I get away with throwing a dab of...

    a/c compressor shuts off after 2 seconds

    had to drain the AC condenser when i took the front clip off for the motor swap. Today I got a AC recharge kit to refill it. I turn the AC on max cool for a few minutes, the compressor kicks on and spins for about 2 seconds and then shuts off, then in 5 seconds it turns on for 2 seconds and...

    3 codes at once!

    Just hooked up datamaster and these 3 are on from start to finish... 33-MAP High 35-IAC Error 42-EST Monitor Error I'm guessing I didn't hook up something properly when I put the motor back in?? No idea what'd be causing the "MAP high code" unless it's related to the other 2?... i put all new...

    green wire on drivers side headlight harness?

    lets play 'name that wire' or say to yourself in your best Arnold voice 'what is this wire, and where does it go?" I can't find anything for this to plug in to... where should I be looking?

    fan shroud screws

    amidst some "re-org" in the garage my roommate managed to lose/misplace/throw out my orange turbo hose, and all of the screws for my fan shroud. I got the turbo hose squared away (thanks Norm), but does anyone know what size screws are used to secure the upper and lower fan shroud? I remember...

    transcooler fittings question (stock lines)

    I'm going cheap and lazy by hooking up the transcooler and keeping the stock lines (for now). i got the B&M all mounted up, and I have the -6AN fittings for the cooler with barbed fittings for "push on" hose (not going steel braided). I searched on here and found some good write ups that had...

    What battery to go with if running 400w amp

    so I did a search and among the hundreds of threads about battery relocation, all I learned was that Optimas suck now. Captain Morgan in all his glory tried to do an ultimate battery thread, which I read through and not a single person who responded was using an amp for their radio. I read a...
