wait. I thought you gave or sold the car to someone. How come you're doing the work?
-
I will also have to drain my wallet this week. I need a new clutch kit. The Exedy stage 1 can't handle the VF52 for very long. Barely 40K and it is already slipping. Plus, I have not "turned it up" just yet. May get the 'copper backed 9 pad' as shown below (source: https://www.thezfdesign.com/clutches).

Stock downpipe?
Also, you are probably suffering from the famous stuttering almost everyone (including me) has been complaining about.
-
well. depends how much tax is added on top of the price of the car. When I lived in Norway (14 years ago), they were taxing you a lot per HP and a bunch of other nonsense variables related to your engine size, car weight, etc... An OBXT over there would have ended up costing, wait for it, 115000$ at that time! Yes, you read that right.

And manual!
53K in Mexico??? Isn't this lots of money for them?

Gotta love SOA

6000 rpm redline? huh.

This is what I found in my 05 ROM. Timing compensation when running real cold or real hot. And there is in fact a fuel compensation table based on coolant temp. However, as you can see, the current set up does not affect fuel enrichment if the coolant temp is real high. So me seeing rich situation when running hot was probably from some other reasons (e.g. high boost situation).

Might as well right? I like the roar of V8 power, the wooosh of turbo sound, but when I go offroading (I have an old heavily modified 98 XJ btw), I think it's cool to have loads of low end torque and be quiet while you're at it.
-
Right. I've seen Taco fans on youtube arguing that for that price, might as well buy a Tundra! Not that much price diff.
-
Newer Tacomas are turbocharged now! But $$$. Looks like the Tacoma fans are not happy about the new engine and the increase in MSRP.
-
I have to check mine. Maybe I am wrong. But I do recall watching my real time AFR values while coolant temps were above 219F (with IAT>110F) and she was running rich.
-
yeah, when the coolant temp goes above a certain threshold, the ECU commands a richer mixture, probably to help cool down the combustion chamber.
-
That's a good point. I know that past a certain coolant temperature, the ECU adjusts a bunch of things such as AFR, timing and probably a bunch of other things.
-
I'd check the following:
-long term fuel trims (should be within +/-5%)
-making sure both OCV angles are in sync and the same, whenever the angle is non zero. Usually happens under load.
-keep an eye on misfire count per cylinder
-knock obviously
Both of my cars are still rocking original crank, 02, maf, etc... sensors . I did change one coil pack on each car, but that's it I think. Both 180K+.

Not answering your question, but what was the problem in the end?
-
Yeah. I just checked them out. Lots of choice for wheel bearings there, including BCA, which looks like it is essentially NTN bearings.
-
Really? OK. Good to know.
-
My last set of rear wheel bearings lasted quite a while, close to a 100k. And I have a lot of dead weight in the trunk too (~150 lbs); also rocking quite negative camber as well for them canyons . Not sure if the latter add more strains to the wheel bearings..
My front ones are currently some NTN ones I got on ebay. 46k miles so far. I usually get everything from ebay and very rarely encounter any problem. Will keep in mind rockauto though.
rhino, where do you source your BCA wheel bearings from?
-
That's strange. You may have to retrace your steps when you were fixing the washer sprayer. Maybe you messed up something?
As for me: my supposedly Timken brand rear wheel bearing lasted a whopping 10K miles . Full of play. Bought it on eBay. Has 'Timken' brand and manufacturing date stamped on wheel bearing. Looks legit, but definitely crap. The one before that lasted a week! I'll have to buy my bearings from Napa next time..

It should fit unless the legacy JDM bumper is even thinner than the outback version. I would doubt it though. Either way, does not hurt to try..

KZJonny, do you need a rear bar for the LGT or Outback? if LGT, it should fit without the foam. I have a JDM outback rear bumper on one of my cars and I got a USDM Legacy rear beam with it.

Where's the Legacy now?

idk what color you need but they have silver, white and gold available for $70 plus shipping.
the jdm ones are just outrageously priced, then the ocd kicks in and you end up ordering the matching tail lights !I need a gold one. I see the post but no pic. Dang it.
What did you do to your 4th gen. Legacy today? Vol - 10

What are you running now?
