hi guys, I'm new, so please go and check out my first post over in general discussion. It'll explain a little bit about me and my car, and my intentions for it. I'd like the people who have approximately five brain cells and a "4-age" tattoo on their dick, and who are about to go apeshit on me for buying an sr-5 to know that I knew what I was getting into, and yes, I'm fine with that.
My primary concern with the vehicle project right now is to get the motor running in a condition to which it is drivable, untill I can do the swap--It feels like I'm close (but, on this motor, that's probably just a lie and a tease). It FEELS/ acts like it has insufficient fuel...Like a starvation / vacuum leak.
After I run my various other tests on the motor to see if I have good compression (pretty sure I do, seeing as how it was running fine for a good while, till it overheated on a "Spirited" run), power, and vacuum in the right places, I'm hoping to do away with the carburetor, and everything that has to do with a wire around it.
Too many things on this F**king motor are controlled by vacuum. It's increadible, actually--I've never seen such a cluster of vacuum hoses coming from one component. My question is...If I was (and, I'll have you know at this point that I have not looked into this yet to determine how difficult it is, or for that matter possible, so please, if this idea I have IS in fact, not feasible, just let me know) could I replace this bullsh*t carburetor with another one (webber?), attatch the minimal amount of vacuum lines and cables to it to run effectively, and remove the friggin' computers and electrical emission bull that was attatched to it.
So...Any thoughts? :blink:
