You know, there is really nothing wrong with the N/A engine. It is a much cleaner setup, more room to work on and such an understressed engine it could last almost forever! With attention to...

I went to the Spearco site and they had drop ins, but only for the MK IV turbo and N/A. I didn't see anything for the MK 111. It seems that with the inlet and outlet on the same side like mine and...

I am confused too. Does the car have a manual or automatic transmission? Sounds like it might have a manual from the parts description, but then you ask about an automatic? Which is it? And yes the...

Well, follow the instructions about using a jumper wire and then try timing the car. Almost all cars have to be adjusted some if the cam position sensor has been moved or the distributor. They both...

I did an automatic to manual tranny swap and if you don't like wiring problems then the engine is going to be ten times harder. I still couldn't get the cruise control to work, so no telling what...

Very good advice. I have noticed several on ebay recently. Most get pulled by ebay fairly quick, but not all. Damn, but they sure are tempting aren't they!!! lol

Buyer beware!!!

What he said is true about the stock manifold, but it is weird that Toyota built it that way but made the intake manifold valve open at around 4000 rpms. Just when you start making some high end...

Don't worry about it sounding like a can of bees. The four cylinder cars almost always sound that way. The six cylinder cars sound more like a really nice tuned exhaust on a large four cylinder...

From what I have read here, it is a matter of Toyota not torqueing the heads properly from the factory. I sounds almost as if they never did it correctly with the MK111's. Most of the guys that...

BUY A HEADER!!! That will be the best thing you can do for the exhaust. If the engine is stock and N/A then keeping the system close to stock size is best. I gutted the cat and put on a nice free...

It would be better to get a turbo engine because it is built for the turbo and the N/A isn't. Rewiring is a pain from one engine to another. It is all possible of course, anything is, but you have to...
