Hi guys! I got a new set of Bougi Cords (R465). Now I want to install them. I cannot get to the plug (marked "A") because the pipe (marked "B") is in the way. How do I move pipe "B", does it just "push" in? :surrender: Many thanks Hi Stuart, The big pipe that...

there are basically two variants of the non-vvt motor. The differences being: Injector size Compression ratio Power The easiest way to tell them apart is by the injector rails. The square rail is the first generation UZ and had a compression ratio 10:1. It has thicker conrods and is favoured for bo...

For those curious. 1UZ-FE Round rail motor with 63mm freeflow and running Spitronics. Vehicle has 265/75/16 tyres. This is wheel power flywheel corrected to 184kw. This was the base tune after installation. I will be doing more tuning next week as I have found restrictions in the induction system a...

Hi all,

I need to get a package from Gemini to me here in Nelspruit. I gathered Speed Services can do PO to PO, or can they pick up the package at Gemini and deliver to my PO, or must I rather use one of the other couriers? The PO's website is useless...... (Any reccomendation?)

Thx,

Cheers,

Hi, Mine also broke the threads. (Also looking for one). In the mean time repaired it by taking 2 short pieces of ally flat bar (25 mm), drilling one 12 mm hole and 2 x 4 mm holes next to it, then one "clamp" that plastic housing to the dash. Working for me, that plastic thread is a weak p...

Hi guys,

I know it's a bit late, but I'm looking for a place to hunt some biltong (blesbok, impala maybe blue wildebees), in Mpumalanga or Limpopo, which will not require a second bond on the house.

Any suggestions?

Would appreciate any feedback.

Hi Johno, What's the reason(s) for staying with manual? I guess it depends on what you use your vehicle for (mostly)?

Hi Stephan, I would say if you can get a gasket set with all the gaskets that would be the best, but I don't know how readily available they are for the EFi manifold. You can make your own gaskets as well. Buy a sheet at Midas etc. Mark and cut the outside, cut out with sciccors. Mark where the bolt...

cprinsloo

I also think the voltage reg must have some form of current limiter, as the alternators does not seem to burn out that easily. I found that with too much current drawn, the voltage drops, at least on my system. Hi Andre, I don't know if the newer types of alternator have current limiting capability...

Hi David,

The EFi conversion is definitely worth it, problem is to get the manifold. AFAIK the 22RE was only sold in the USA in the 80's, very scarce. I bought mine on Ebay, but they are very scarce there now as well.

Good luck,

Een vraag: daar kom 2 pype van die valve cover af na die manifold toe. Soos ek dit verstaan moet die voorste een voor die throttle wees, en die agterste een na die throttle in die manifold in waar die vakuum is. Joune lyk altwee asof hulle "agter" die throttle is (myne is ook so). Toe myne...
