The rebuilt JDM engine in the Texas '91T 5 speed is running quite well,
although I still need to receive the 3" downpipe and cat (already
received Lipp elbow). No ECU codes were set. Nice to have a car
without rust. There are a couple of cosmetic items to address, but
nothing major. Mods include 550cc injectors, Lexus AFM, Walbro pump
(with drilled J-tube), custom made FPR, chrome moly flywheel, Porsche
blowoff valve, 57 trim CT26 turbo, HKS intake filter, '98 MkIV mounts,
JDM 80 mm cat back exhaust. . The present exhaust system is probably
clogged due to a former BHG. Eventually I intend going to 14 PSI. Have
not been over 4 PSI so far. Engine has less than 15 miles on it.
A couple of last items need to be attended to. Temporarily I fixed the
gas door (broken retracting plastic piece) by removing the flat pop-open
spring and using velcro to hold the door closed. Other items are as
follows.
1. The power antenna does not retract or extend completely. It was bent
at one time. I once replaced the mast on my '90, but do not know where
the information came from as it was over 10 years ago. If the problem
involves the motor, what is the best way to remove it? The access door
is awfully small.
2. The front windshield washer motor appears seized (rear is OK). When
pushing the stalk button, I can hear a sound and see the lights dim ever
so little. I guess I'll order another one from Jeff Watson unless
anyone has a better suggestion.
As always, any information would be appreciated. Thanks.
