i suppose in theory you could run it up to around 1.5bar (21ish psi?) but thats way out of its efficiency range. as a general rule most of the UK owners hit...
Can anyone help me. I have a uk st205 and just recently the gas milleage has gone really bad. when i first bought the car, I was getting 400miles a tank, which...
I had a bad experience with them. Toyota quote me 140 + vat.. I wouldnt mind paying that, but I also need to work out how to install it myself. Is this...
Just wanted to see what people thought of this... Just got off the phone to another toyota garage, they told me that replacing the o2 sensor is no problem, but...
As far as I know, you have to remove the fuse for about 30 seconds and everything is going to reset itself... Someone correct me if I am wrong... Martin Valent...

Alex Look at where the exhaust system (turbo elbow) exits the turbo and you'll see something similar in size and shape to a spark plug sticking out of the top...
It's not what the turbo can do,it's what the feul map can handle!I run 1.1 bar of boost,and with the car set up correctly am getting 280bhp,yummy!! Jas ...
I am running a 1989 GT4 and have installed a relief valve to increase the boost. the valve is in the turbo to wastegate hose and I have disconnected the other...
hi mate i had the boiling problem and water coming from overflow pipe and was being told head gasket head gasket, well after fitting a new rad cap still had...
Er maybe stupid question but why on earth are you increasing the boost when you know you are getting detonation?? 0.8 bar on a stock intercooler with no ...

Actually the turbo DOES play a part ;-) There is a point after which the turbo becomes inefficient (which is why we upgrade). The compressor maps can be used...
Sorry if i sound a little niave but will the bonnet make much difference to the detonation problem??? planning to fit a GT4 bonnet in the next few days when it...
Well I dont have any proof - but the intercooler works by having cool air pass over it from the scoop - Your intercooler is not going to be getting any airflow...
Soooo, is it a 185 or 165? air to air I/C or water to air I/C? If your noticing detonation then check your ignition timing, should be (10 deg. BTDC) make sure...
isnt the '89 GT4 a 165 and hence having the W/A intercooler? anyway he shouldnt be raising the boost when hes got a suspected blown headgasket and losing...
I 'think' some of the earliest 185's were around in 1989 not 100% certain on this however. I made this assumption as the guy referred to the car not having the...
youre right, there is no difference in the bonnet, and pretty much the rest of the cars. basically a 165 is a 162 chassis with 4wd and the big turbo lump, plus...
Jeremiah, I got more info for you besides rancid gas sitting around your tank all summer (you never know), but it would seem obvious: 1) How is your battery...
Red October: 1) see if you have an exhaust leak between the exhaust manifold and the O2 sensor. it will make the sensor read a "false lean" and overcompensate...
... yes! the intercooler needs to transfer heat to air. it is not a cosmetic reason and do NOT think that non-moving engine bay air is sufficient. This logic...
oOps! I meant Alex, not Red October. Sorry. Cool nickname though! along with my list in original reply, two more things to add: 1) i know it sounds silly, but...
Jay, I'm right with you. The battery is fully charged, though today I got new error codes. I have the 3 mechanical toyota BGBs, so my codes are 12, 51, 54....
i'm thinking that code 54 is famous for the acting up all the time, right? as long as your water tank level is full, you're okay, but you might need a new...
