Re: Crank won't turn by hand

Be careful when your trying to spin it past compression, thats knuckle busting territory when it rolls.

WTB Broken Power window switch - master - with good plastic

WTB someones old master power window switch that is broke, but the plastic "nubs/switches" themselves are not broke. I took my switch apart because the plastic nubs/switches were broke off and I can control the windows using the throws underneath it, so the circuit board is still functioni...

Re: Water inside

Maybe I have to much gunk or something on the top and I can't see the drainhole. I took the deflector off to get a better look and didn't see it. I also have a little standing water in it too, so maybe thats the reason. Btw, anyone have a suggestion for a grease that works good, I have a few tubs of...

Re: Water inside

Does anyone have any repair procedures for this? I searched the internet and found vague descriptions of what to do. I searched the forums too and only found this. Maybe I am searching wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: The "Quick Question" Thread (please search first)

I'm not sure where I read it but I believe the ECU needs to come from a MTX car as well. Like you said, if you can manually send the signal to open the VRIS the ECU just straight up not sending the signal. (If the ECU is from a ATX then it for some reason may be waiting for a signal from a gear shif...

Re: KLDE intake on KLZE?

I'll go poke around probetalk then for an ECU. Thanks. So would they(jdmtiger) be problematic for the KLZE engines they sell too? That's were I was going to get my engine from.

Re: The "Quick Question" Thread (please search first)

I'd think it has to do with OBDI and OBDII. The changover happened somewhere around/before 1995. I don't know where the post-cat O2 bung is located, if its on the cat's pipe or not, but that would be a difference. The exhaust size/length is exactly the same throughout the years as far as I know. OK...

Re: The "Quick Question" Thread (please search first)

Here is a quick question that some think may be dumb, I have found on some websites that the v6 1.8 cat for sale it says compatibility 93-97, some say 92-95 on the cats, so I called up a company (HK5) in Cali and asked them about it and they simply stated that it wasn't on their compatability list f...

Re: KLDE intake on KLZE?

The Millenia uses a MAF, so it won't work No, of course not, if you keep the K8 VAF, along with the K8 ECU, it'll thing that the motor is still the 1.8 and not a 2.5 and just get confused and run not very efficiently. Treat it as a 2.5. If you get the ECU and VAF from a domestic KLDE OBDI car, you'...

Re: KLDE intake on KLZE?

Got another question, Should I get the VAF of this millenia? Im sure the new engine (KLZE) will not come with it as of its location. I know from reading other swaps that the K8 VAF gives a bad mixture, would the millenia VAF be better, I think they charge about 10 bucks for them at the JY, I can get...
