Lifted wagon left me on the side of the road today! ARG
I'm sorry to hear that! Especially since you had a MSD and not an Accel go bad. I carry a stock coil in my tool box for the day this happens to me.

exhaust questions
You might strip the threads in the head, but other than that, you're not going to rip the head off or anything.

Hmmm, JDM parts eh? How about an EA81 headlight washer system, EA81 height adjustable seat tracks in light brown, any of these wheels (or any oversize aftermarket wheel for that matter: Thanks for scavenging for us!

The only problem I have with my motor is all the old coolant hoses going bad one after another.

Problems with EA81T
The EA82 turbo might make a little more power, but mainly its more efficient. Did you change the fuel filter?
-
What Do You Want
5x100 bolt on hubs for EA81s and camber plates again! These would be on the tipity top of my list.

Problems with EA81T
That little sensor is the ambiant temp sensor and yes, you need it for the ECU. The purge canister wouldn't affect your running and you might as well leave it in if anything.

Problems with EA81T
This just crossed my mind, check your spark plug wires and make sure they are going to the correct cylinders.

Problems with EA81T
Check for vacuum leaks and make sure the fuel pump connector is plugged in all the way. Other than that, I'm stumped. Do you have a FSM or Turbo FSM supplement?

So what's your opinion about JDM engines?
I had an engine that was imported and was claimed to be goo turn out to be junk. Be aware that some of these engines will probably be bad.

Finally OVERSIZE OFFROAD WHEELS
If they're not too heavy and prove to be durable, I might be interested in a set for an upcoming project.

EA81 rev limiter?
PSSST! I have a little secret... The timing marks are on the crank pully for the turbo cars!

EA81 rev limiter?
Horay! Another EA81T owner, welcome to the club! Regarding your question about the rev limiter, there isn't one. I am suprised that your shift light and buzzer seem to be coming on early as mine don't activate until the redline at 5,500rpm. The ECU light is supposed to come on when you start the car and if there aren't any problems with the system it is supposed to shut off again. I would replace your filter, plugs, wires, cap and rotor and then see if there is a difference. If these little tune up items haven't been replaced for a while you will notice a difference. As for the dashboard, good luck. I don't think anyone has sucsessfully converted a Digital Dash to the conventional type yet. If you still want to try changing it, I have an analog turbo gauge cluster if you'd be interested and I can try to scan the pin outs for the analog and digial dashes so you can get them to work together. On a side note, LETS SEE SOME PICS!

My reader's ride article is up!
I got the steering wheel off of ebay, but you can get a similar one off of Celica All-tracs and maybe Saab 900s. I might be selling it however, ever since I saw one on ebay that fits the character of the car much better.
