freekwonder Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Walked passed her on my way to my truck to go to work. I really need to get an exhaust on her so I can work on the engine issues. Can only rev an open header KA in a garage for so long before you ears start to ring. Anybody around Tacoma know a good shop and prices for exhaust work? Quote Link to comment

scooter stuff Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Not on all 510s. Mine is not stamped. Maybe they didn't stamp the wagons? Quote Link to comment
freekwonder Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Changed all her fluids, and finished hooking up the oil pressure gauge. Now to figure out the rev problem. Anybody have any tips on vacuum lines for a KA24DE in a 510? Quote Link to comment
r0p0doe Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Got the firing order back in line and re-sealed thermostat housing because it was leaking, going to get my radiator and electric fan installed correctly tomorrow and take her for her first test drive :):):) Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Maybe they didn't stamp the wagons? No, plenty of sedans dont have stamped cores either! Its just not a universal thing. Quote Link to comment
freekwonder Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Anybody have any tips or diagrams for how the vacuum lines are run on your KA in your dime? S13 motor with EGR/SVC valve removed. I have the the vacuum line running from the throttle body to the intake hooked up, the lines hooked to the fitings running to the back of the motor are capped. When I hook the big line to the intake that runs to the AICV, my RPMs smooth out then the engine dies, when I try to restart her she fires, then dies. Don't mind the intake, It was like that for some testing. Quote Link to comment
