yea we had one day with -10, -30 with wind chill. im lucky i have a heated parking garage to work on shit lol, i think my oil return sprung a minor gasket leak.

"you got an elbow gutted out ?"

Nope, the TMS downpipe has the O2 housing built into it. The TMS downpipe bolts directly to the turbine housing, eliminating the stock elbow. Suprastore advertises a 20hp gain with an HKS dp and the HKS doesn't replace the o2 housing, you must use the stock one with it, so the TMS is obviously better. Plus the TMS is 3" mandrel bent stainless steel. I love stainless.

Kuban, remember turbo oil pipe nuts should only be torqued to 9 ft/lbs. And make sure the mating surfaces don't have any old gasket material left over, which is very hard to do since the studs get in the way of cleaning the surface.

Don't feel bad. 'The Driver' has offered some decent info/help over the past week or 2.

perhaps he had a 'bad day'.

But, perhaps with this next week off, he'll do some reflecting, and recover.

I need a little help. I have every single sensor connector disconnected except one. It is the one that goes to the top of the R154 trans. There is no way a I can get to it. Its a 2 wire connector and its white. I think the wires are yellow and red, but I can't remember. It's not the speed sensor. I think it is the backup light switch. How do I disconnect it? Drop the trans? Anyone ever have this problem when doing a head gasket on a manual turbo car?

I just put a new head gasket on my supra and that wiring runs over the top and then down the drivers side of your tranny. If I remember correctly there are bolts that hold it onto the tranny.

Do you have any more pics of your engine around the starter area. I have a couple of plugs on my wiring harness and I cant find out where they go.

just cut the wires off and when you are done...splice them with weather tight but connectors....it'll work fine...
