1.Ok so in November, i slung a rod in my stock 7afe. I saved my money and ordered a 7afe from Japan. Got it a couple days before christmas, and took it to the shop on the shop on new years eve. I just got it out of the shop yesterday. On the way home rolling up to a stop sign, i let it coast in neutral, the battery light, oil light, and check engine light came on. Put it back in gear, if went off. Anyone have any experience with this?
2. Does anyone know what is a good replacement radiator for a 1994 St Coupe Manual, and where I can buy them at? OEM, or a good replacement. If you'd please list the website and price. 3. Is there any major difference between the U.S and Japan 7afe? The guy i bought the car from said he just had had it tuned about 6 months before, and he thought it was port and polished, but i don;t know. This new engine seems to be just a tad closer to the radiator than the stock one (farther out is what im tryin to say) this engine Pulls WAY harder off the line, It sounds SO much better than the old one which had 151,000 miles on it also.It got a lot quicker to 0-105 than the old one. I don't know where this thing will cut off at b/c it started rainin so i stopped. My parents friend owns the shop and gave me a Major discount, and he called me and said the oil pan that came on it was leakin oil and looked like itd been tapped. he showed me and it indeed infact looked like it had been tapped. i don't know if it was turboed or what but what i'm getting at is, how can i tell if it was turboed, or if the old engine (which wasn't laggin to me) have cheap, crappy aftermarket generic parts on it. Any way i can tell which it is? 4. Last one ha... what is a good reasonable price to see the entire head which is in pretty good shape off the old engine? it's not like oh shiney clean, but is decently clean. i'm not sure if the cam's are in it still or not so whats a price for both in U.S $. like a good price and than they pay the shipping for it too. thanks for your time and I hope someone can answer a few of these for me -Colby ![]() -------------------- ![]() |

I dont know much but i do know that in japan they have different smog restrictions. Im guessing some of your engine lights are going off cause you are missing certain smog restrictions maybe causing your sensors to think some thing is wrong.

If your looking for something cheap but still good I would suggest Ebay, There are a few named spectra that some sellers on ebay sell that are pretty much the same as the ones at most auto part stores. If you need one right away and don't want to wait or don't like to ship one back in if it ever cracks then I suggest the autopart stores and they range from $150-200 but they do come with lifetime warranty. The smog is the only thing that japan cars don't have.

thanks yall. i'll look into the ebay thing, im going to do a little research first.
two last things. how much does a 7afe head in good condition w/ or w/o the manifold intake? also where is somewhere i can get some good tires for 17's that arent too expensive, just for everyday driving? i have searched around and a lot of people say 215/45/17 looks like rubberbands and some say 225/45/17 sometimes rub, i plan to lower the car, i dont want really really low but some 225/45/17 just look a little to big to me? -------------------- ![]() |
