Could you tell me part numbers for a feul injectors. I'm looking for a higher flow injectors. I have injectors from 1.8L corolla (not sure what engine, maybe 7A-FE, but flow is 255cc/min). But even with them, duty cycle on high revs, or when boost spikes occures, becomes over 95%.
So.. I want injectors that are: 1. High impedance 2. Flow is something between 350 - 450cc/min 3. Will fit stock fuel rail and cylinder head (I don't mind minor modification though).
I can get cheap injectors from Scion tC's 2AZ-FE engine. But I don't know how many ccs/min they flow. Can you give me more information about these injectors (from 2AZ-FE engine)?

Do you have a pic of that Matrix?
What a tasteless LS...

The mark-up on parts, either Toyota or Lexus, is left up to the selling dealer. Some stores mark up their Lexus inventory more than teir Toyota parts. The store I work at doesn't do this, but the practice is not at all uncommon. All the factory does is provide a "suggested retail price" and some parts managers hike the price to retail customers to off-set discounts given to repair and body shops. Guess it's just a greed factor. This is why I am no longer "career-driven" in this business. I've been a parts manager, service manager, wholesale accounts manager, and just about everything else in a dealership. Now I just want to show up, do my job, sell parts, help people, and go home. Oh yeah, the paycheck! Can't forget that!!
I only liked your Tercel, now I like you too

Nice neighbourhood ;)

I have a feeling that we got off the topic
I think he still wants to sell his car -
I wouldn't feel bad at all if I damaged a Miata...
Would you feel bad if I damaged it?
With a baseball bat? But it's actually a good car (good engine, RWD, lightweight). I just don't like roadsters
Although I love small cars But I only like coupes or 2-door-hatchbacks <_< -
Sounds like a huge mess.
I don't know anything about the engine in the car with the broken timing belt...it was such a long time ago, I'm lucky I remember having the car. It was a 1986 Mustang 4cylinder. Terrible car. No A/C. But it was my first car, so I guess have some fond memories.
I never had a car with an A/C. And I'm not getting one
If I had an A/C it would be without a belt on it ;) It sucks too much power from engine. But I don't live in Nevada though I still love my first car too:) I have a photo of it
My first (painful) love
Photo taken in summer of 2005, when I was still in my country (I'm permanent U.S. resident from february 2006) B)
This is 1987 BMW 324d
I spent alot of time with this car in my garage
It was my school in a way

No fun...I've never had the bad fortune to blow anything really major up in any of my cars. About the worst thing I've ever had to deal with was a broken timing belt, and that didn't actually do any damage, amazingly.
Worst thing I've had was blown cylinder head gasket. But that wasn't the worst part
I was driving it until engine ran out of oil :o So changing the head gasket was the first "seriuos" work I had ever performed on a car. But because engine was running almost dry for awhile it overheated very bad and cylinder head deformed slightly. So I was trying to find correct injection timing angle (it was a diesel engine) for about a month. It was like.. on one tooth - it's knocking, on next one - it starts, but dies. Problem was in cylinder head. Because it was deformed, compression ratio dropped, and while engine was cold it was dying because air inside of the cylinders was too cold to ignite fuel properly. I had to hold gas pedal for about two minutes to get it idling and not dying Lucky you
Or maybe you have an engine that don't bend valves (some has "holes" on pistons for the valves) If engine does bend them then you were wery lucky and timing belt broke when all valves were closed ;) :) -
Okay, let me revise that: I'd prefer something low, sleek, and wide, rear wheel drive, front engine, two seater (or 2+2, but with the pointless rear seats), and preferably a hatchback. I know that the Corolla has the performance, but it just doesn't do anything for me...
Toyota Supra MKIII,
Mazda Miata - I hate this car, but it's FR layout. Not too wide though,
Mazda RX-7 - it's good only if engine was already changed to Otto cycle
Nissan 240sx - I've heard bad things about SX's engines,
Nissan Skyline - You're lucky if you can find one
older BMW 3rd series with coupe body,
in Japan they are using Toyota Chaser for drifting but it's not officially exported and even if it was exported it has steering wheel on the right hand side.
Maybe older Porsche, but its RR layout, so it's not what you're looking for.

AE86 was considered a sports car ;) TRD was offering engine mods (pistons, camshafts, intake, exhaust etc.) for 4A-GE called Formula Atlantic. If you put everything you can have about 240 hp naturally aspirated. ;) But compression ratio was too high for ordinary pump gas (minimum 103+ or something). Alcohol (ethanol) injection was one of the ways to solve this porblem

Can you take a picture of that hose? And where it's comming from. Because from your description it's not a breather tube..
-
RX? And you said BMW will be expesive to repair. If you blow a rotary engine you will spend more then for a BMW ;)
Cool car though
Are you considering older Corollas? AE86. It's kinda drifting "God" back in Japan. I saw AE86 on eBay with Supras twin-turbocharged engine :o Now that's sick
Stock it comes with 4A-GE engine. If it's "Silvertop" or "Blacktop" it has 20 valves (3 intake valves and 2 exhaust valves per cylinder), 4 throttle bodies and has about 180 hp NA. Later models had variable valve timing.This engine kinda "gives me a hard on"

...so little time!!!!
Yeah.. thats true..

..and a 1987 Corolla GTS..
With a 4A-GE 20valve?

I really do think it would be really fun to get a cheap little RWD car to do drifting in though. It looks like a blast for a minimal budget!
Get an older BMW 325 (E30) it's a really fun car
-
Hey, you're used to it...you know how to handle it!!
Yeah, I know, but I don't want to stuck in a garage for a whole day or two
Besides, I know it's not healthy for a manual transmission to go fast backwards ;) :P Reverse connecting gear is totally different from those used for forward gears. Thats why you hear a rattling sound when a car goes backwards (with manual tranny). If you go to fast (or spin wheels) connector gear will overheat and probably it will break to small pieces. And because transmission was running at very fast speed those pieces will breake something more when they get between other gears. Although there is a small magnet inside of a transmission. Most of my differentials teeths was on that magnet.

I was thinking about older celica or corolla (less than $3000) for my project car. I want to get a corolla 93-97 and put a bigger engine in it (like 5S-FE, cuz it's damn cheap) then put 3S-GTE pistons in that engine and double-turbocharge it with two small turbos like IHI VJ11. I want to see faces of those guys with show-off eclipses, neons, and civics. when I blow them fu** away with a stock looking corolla
-
The enigne itself with only 111k miles has a stamp on the valve cover with the number and letters 4A
So it's probably 4A-E SOHC fuel injected 1.6 litre engine.
I'm kinda looking for a project car. But not right now, cuz I'm still in college and I'm working on evening shift after school. I don't have any free time. And I moved to Brooklyn recently so I don't have a garage to make a transmission swap..
I think I have to pass on this one
-
Backwards? :P
Not with a manual
Unless you want me to lose my reverse gear or an entire transmission.. AGAIN -
Lower K --> brighter

What's the part numbers of 4E-FTE pistons and conrods? From EP71 Turbo S (I think this one had 3E turbocharged engine, not the 4E), EP82 GT Turbo or the EP91 Glanza
-
What engine is in it (code, please
)?And why is this car full of sheetrock?
-
I think I've seen this model in drift competitions...I thought the better drift cars were rear wheel drive?
You've seen an ae86. What you see here is an older version.
ae86 was RWD
You CAN'T do any seriuos drifting with FWD.. believe me.. I'v tried ;)
It's fun to drift with handbrake, but it's not a real dirft.. And.. cable handbrake sucks.. I'll put a hydraulic one, when I'll have a chance.To Author --> what tite does this car has? Salvage?
Although I love small cars

Change pads and rotors. And tell them to clean and lubricate both calipers (the part where caliper connects to a caliper carrier).
But... Actually I think they are trying to get money out of you. Because if brakes aren't lubricated they will stuck when you press the brake pedal and you will hear grinding sound from your rear wheels when driving. If you don't hear that.. well.. you know.. ^_^
