Does anyone know if this is the right thread size for a defi coolant sensor and the right thread size to fit in the thermostat housing.

Tried looking on RHDjapan at the zep unit but it doesn't list the thread size.

Anyone help?

Cheers

lol ive had too many starlets thats the problem!

you need to change the pins in the connecters but you can make it work.

there used to be how to in the technical section here.

i also have a set if you wanted to buy them lol

got a glanza one in black if your interested

bought an aem wideband gauge of him.

very reasonably priced and absolutely excellent packaging. quick delivery and good communication.

would definately buy off him again

cheers

yes it will mate

Jacob - could you pm me some pics please?

And ollieh17 - do you think a tf035 would be too small then? Just got one for a reasonable price and seeing as they spool up better than a td04 on starlet, I thought another 300cc on the mx5 would be similar. Seeing as they come from 2ltr foresters? Do you think it will be limiting on power? My mate is aiming for 220-250hp

yeah been looking on ebay hinking id find a load around that price range and really havent found much at all.

may have found a tf035 for reasonable price but no luck on any other fronts for one in good condition!

@jacob - how much mate? is it brand new?

thats great. ordered one last night.

thanks for the help guys.

pm'd

thats awesome,

thanks dan. will look tonight!

ok guyys thanks for that. really helpful. whats the size of a starlet spark plug if you know? 14 or 18mm? cheers

Fingers crossed its a stupid mistake like this! Anyone got a pic of how it should be connected at all?

Hmm I hope not! Lol

I'll check later.

Thanks guys.

If I did, would that cause excessive smoking when running though? Like white smoke

Yeah that's what I thought, need to order a compression tester and see if that throws up anything. Just hoping it's just that so when I get valve stem seals done I can solve it.. And it doesn't need a full rebuild :/

I've got an issue with a forged engine I bought a while back.

I bought the engine being told it needed valve stem seals as it was burning oil (in what looked like cylinders 1 and 2 as the ports were slightly oily). It's only done 2000 miles since rebuild and from lifting the cam cover I believe this as it's brand new inside.

Now I filled it with fresh oil and got it running. I've ran it a few times and literally moved the car in and out of the garage a few times but only really warmed it up to temperature once in which it was incredibly smoky and stank of burning oil.

Now I dropped the oil the other day as there were a few oil leaks which I needed to stop. And it looks like this..

All milky. But nothing under oil cap or anything. So my question is can valve stem seals cause this? Or is this a bigger issue? I'm gonna have to change headgasket to do valve stem seals anyway but wanna know it's not a bigger problem.. Is this coolant getting in the oil?

Anyone had this before? The engine was sat for about 18 months in my garage in the car so I don't know if it was condensation inside engine.. I don't know again if that could cause this.

If anyone could help that would be great

Thanks

Sam

Any one else?

Can anyone recommend a good compression tester and where to buy please.

Reasonably priced is important but want one that's gonna work well.

Will any work with the 4eftes?

What size is a vf10 in relation to a td04 guys?

If you guys could pm me some pics that would be great Daniel g if you could show me the damage please. And 5e Colin could you let me know a price.

Also what kinda mileage on both?

Looking for a good working condition pref Lowe mileage td04/05 vf series or tf035 turbo for a friend who's looking to turbo his mx5.

Also if anyone has any input as to a good turbo they would/have used when turboing an mx5 that would be really helpful.

I know it's the wrong forum but struggling to find decent turbos at sensible prices!

incredible. watching this intently. please keep this updated regularly with lots of pics!!
