Re: Turbo Forenza wagon in the works

For running the oil, I tapped a hole in my oil pan with a 1/4 npt thread and added a stainless steel nipple. I also found a large plug right behind the oil pressure sensor which i drilled and also tapped with a 1/4 inch npt thread. This bolt was notoriously difficult to tap because it was so small i...

Re: Turbo Forenza wagon in the works

Ok, thats good to know before I jumped into that. How important is ignition timing? In the matter of speaking that its not perfectly adjusted the way that the ecu would like to have it timed for?
