I've never seen a dyno sheet before/after that proves TB spacers work at all. They're just another item designed to relieve you of your money. How does adding 3/4" of intake plenum volume AT the throttlebody help make more power?

Of course they are. Most of those things actually make your vehicle use more fuel and don't provide any noticeable gains on power. Just like the Tornado, the Helix, throttlebody spacers, etc.

Exactly. The EGR system recirculates exhaust into the intake to reduce emissions. That's about it.

Hot damn. Nice idea for the hose fittings.

Try Ebay.

Yeah, in 91 or so they used longer/different bolts on the very rearmost body mounts. They're exceedingly hard to find because they're metric and an extra 3" longer. Some people have simply used SAE bolts and drilled out the stock metric captive nut IIRC.

Yeah, Pathfinders didn't get OBDII until 96. There's nothing to plug a code scanner in to on an 89.

Because they're only out to make money by selling products, not to cater to legality issues. 99% of the lighting products sold that are NOT OEM-specific are sold with the terms "for off-road or show use only".

Throwing parts at a mystery problem is likely to get expensive fast...

It's good if you don't mind blinding other people at night. The stock headlight housings aren't designed with HID bulbs in mind, so the focus point and beam distribution end up scattering light everywhere. You might check on headlight laws in your state.

Definitely run the ECU error codes. Do the basics first. When it doesn't run, does it lack fuel or spark?

The turbo on a stock VG30ET goes riiiiight where your steering shaft goes. You'd have to custom-build a manifold for the turbo to bolt to and then do custom routing for the intake as well. I'm not saying it won't work, but it doesn't drop in, no.

Are you talking about a Chrysler Jeep like a Cherokee or a Pathfinder?

Headlight switch or bulb wiring.

That looks like a cheap brake caliper slide pin. How big is it? No clue on how it got ground up like that tho.

Could be the thermo element (wax choke) on your throttlebody. That's part of the warm-up system that basically cracks the throttle open a bit when it needs to warm up.

The turbos would have to be relocated, as well as the exhaust. It'd be a high-dollar custom fabrication job. I've seen ONE turbo V6 in a Pathy from France and it wasn't a junker, it was a spendy project.

My van has a Viper basic alarm and it's been working for YEARS. No kidding, at least 10 years.

Check the sidewalls of your tires. The max inflation pressure will be listed on the side. 26 psi is for a stock squishy ride. More psi will give better MPG's but a slightly stiffer ride.

Might just be the tires slipping a bit at a time when they spin.

Never had a dog, never really wanted one. My sis used to take her two with her in her new Mitsubishi Outlander...insane. Those dogs WRECKED the inside of that car. Smudges and stains and fur everywhere.

I drove the Impulse for at least a year after it was welded and it wasn't as bad as everyone tends to make it out to be. One tire chirps and skips a bit on tight turns, that's it. I never had tire wear problems from it either, but keep in mind it was a RWD 2600 lb car with skinny low-profile tires and no extra weight in the rear. Welding the rear on a heavy 4x4 DD that's used on the road is just abuse...no real reason to do so in that situation unless the vehicle's a beater and you don't care about it. For welding the front as long as you have manual hubs I don't see it being a big problem. Lock a single hub and that wheel will be the one that spins in 4WD. Lock both and in extreme situations, you can go up mountains and molehills alike when off-road. It all depends on what you do with your vehicle. They're FINALLY going to make a front locker for WD21's?? Jeez, about time. I'd like to point out that a rear Lock-Right is between $275-350 USD...the front locker's likely to be even smaller in size. Why the hell can't they make a price-competitive unit for the front diff? Argh.

I've seen sealed ones and ones with zerks, depends on the brand I suppose.

Here you go, guys. This is the rear diff from my old Isuzu Impulse. I had a bud stick-weld it together.

I think it depends on which Terrano II (Mistral) model you're trying to compare it to. The early Mistrals came with two different wheelbases and were based on the Terrano but I have no clue otherwise. We didn't get II's in the US.
