:cool: Hi Guys! I will be replacing my PCV valve...it is time, and I would like to lower my BLMs (idling at 130s into 140s). I will get AutoZone part 1162. And, the car recently passed smog just fine (California). I read some threads about it being a good idea to "separate the PCV line...

Hi - My car has always blown low numbers and passed smog. Its last test was in 2009. Is there anything new with the evap test that is stricter in 2011? If so, what is the best way to ensure the car will pass that test? Thanks. Steven

Hi Guys - I have worked out the ZDDP and dino oil issues to my satisfaction. Now, I am interested in your experience and opinions about the minimum and maximum oil viscosities for the turbo. Knowing that the turbo spins at a much higher RPM than the engine... What is the minimum...

Hi Guys - Not that I have or would ever race on a public street...but about how much faster are our cars in Drive vs. Overdrive to 60 mph? Thanks. Steve

Assuming no dead grounds...is it a characteristic of these cars for the ECM and/or any accessories to draw enough power to drain a battery in two weeks if the car is not started or driven? Steve

Hi- Myths or Truth? I have heard that adding about 1 1/2 oz. of rubbing alcohol/gallon will help in smog test. Also, it was suggested that the wastegate rod be disconnected before testing. Can alcohol reduce O2, HC, and NOX emissions and, if so, will adding it damage O2 sensor...

Just looking for some opinions, facts, or urban legend. I have been running PF 52 for its increased filtering capacity. But I started wondering if PF 47, being smaller, would pressurize faster on startup...or does anti-drainback valve make both filters equal in that respect? Thanks...

I am going to upgrade my sounds and would appreciate your opinions. I am into real music, great fidelity, and clean sound - NOT subwoofers, rap, or hip-hop. My musical preferences are varied - mostly Santana, Jazz, 60s-80s Heavy Metal, Classic Rock, Oldies, and Doo-Wop. I would like...

I am going to upgrade my sounds and would appreciate your opinions.

Needed to install new crank sensor and IAC because car was stalling. The fuel pump & filter, ICM, coil pack, and plug wires are new too. After install, the car fired right up. I chose one of the several IAC/TPS reset procedures out there and this is what I got at closed idle: BLM 131 IAC...

Hi I drive an 86 TR that passes smog with the stock 180 thermostat. The chip is stock too. Does anyone know, from personal experience, whether a 160 thermostat will allow the car to smog in California? I want to avoid the hassle of a change just to find out that the car will not...
