I do a few local auto-x's a year; my car's suspension is all stock except for ST sways. Its a blast, even though the local courses usually favor lighter, better handling cars like Miatas etc. I'm planning on doing the Tokico/Eibach combo or something similar, and getting a set of 18's (likely...

So surfing youtube led me to some of the old CKY (pre-MTV Jackass stunt-videos) films, including this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoKg0eI7jzc&feature=related Possible NWS due to language. Anyone on here? :biglaugh:

Copied from SF.com ----------------------- For those of you jaded by big-power MKIV races and kills, perhaps my low-power, low-buck story will ground you a little bit:hsugh: Now, I know a lot of you (perhaps older) folks remember the days when these cars were the hot rides back in the late 80's...

Finally! The car is running:icon_bigg Thanks JetJock for those settings. We found two blown fuses under the hood, one being the stock 15A FI fuse, and the inline 12V 30A fuse was blown as well. Perhaps this happened when we were trying different wiring settings. Not having a spare 15A on...

I tried two different setups, look at the pic below to see what I mean by Wire 1 and Wire 4: Setup 1: Power: 87 Wire 1: 30 Wire 4: 85 Ground: 86 Setup 2: Power: 85 Wire 1: 86 Wire 4: 30 Ground: 87

Update: finished the install, and the car won't start. Here is a walkthrough of my process, with pics at the bottom of my final result. I followed FT's/Shaeff's instructions, but routed the 12V power through the footwell, under the door sill and under the back seat. I have power at the...

Quick update/question...I'm almost complete with the rewire. I'm hopeful that other wiring/electrical n00bs like me will gravitate towards this thread in the future for the same Q's and tips I sought out. I chose to route the power wire differently than any guide I found on here, and when I'm...

Cool cool...I got home and looked at my TSRM and found it. Before I had a chance to, I presumed exhaust = rear of car. Anyhow, I'll share with you the story I got from the dealer about my weird pump hanger. Apparently its possible that I received a hanger for a European/JDM MK3, being that...

I pulled my stock pump hanger , and it didn't have a resistor and wire, so I cut the wire off right at the resistor. Can anyone tell me where the stock relay is? Shaeff's thread/diagram says its in the exhaust-side wheel well, but is it actually under the car? above the wheel well (remove trunk...

Damn...I was hoping you'd know:icon_razz Perhaps, if its not to be used, I can just tape it off and forget about it? Someone in here suggested it has to be spliced into the black hanger wire, but I know in your install (and Shaeff's I don't think mentioned it), you didn't have to do such a thing.

Thanks very much. I figured this is what deabionni was saying, but I don't see any mention of splicing the two together in any install guides, which left me confused. Can anyone else verify this?

I'm a bit confused...you said I was correct in saying the black Walbro wire connects to the black hanger wire on the front, but you then say the black Walbro wire connects to the short blue hanger wire on the back? I have 3 hanger wires...black, long blue, short blue, and 2 walbro wires, black...

Another question! I hope this thread helps others in the future.... I got my new hanger today, and noticed something I haven't seen in any other thread/pic. What is this blue wire on the back of the hanger? From FT's pics, it looks like the short black wire on the front of the hanger...

Shaeff's thread on 12v Mod: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9417 ForcedTorques thread on 12v Mod: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62343 I just ordered a new pump bracket w/ hardline from Toyota, $116 and should be here tomorrow. I guess now I can...

Well crap. All I know is, I/we had two different wrenches holding the two different-sized nuts on either side. We meant to hold one and twist the other. If I remember correctly (there was 3 of us, all cursing and covered in gas), we had determined what you said (after messing with both), which...

Yes I have a box of 12 V 30 amp fuses, just need the right holder Thats the one place left to check. I'll definitely stop by there and see what they have. I'll probably go after I order a new gas tank hard line from Toyota, as I bent the one on the tank today. Gave it 3 shots of PB Blaster...

Another quick Q, and thanks for the replies and help so far! ForcedTorque you've been invaluable. So I've gone to Advance, Autozone, Circuit City and WalMart looking for a 10 gauge wiring-fuse holder, or even a universal fuse holder, with no luck. So I bought a 12 gauge fuse holder, knowing...

Another quick question... After reading a few different 12V mod threads, these are all the parts I need, correct? 12 volt 30amp relay, 4 or 5 pin 10 gauge wire 12 volt fuse I'm an electrical/wiring n00b, so when I went shopping I saw about a dozen different kinds of fuses. Could...

Thank you for the help! My next step is that I suppose, with a 12V Walbro, I need a new fuel pressure regulator to replace the stock one. I think I'll be getting the Driftmotion complete kit...they seem to do a nice job of getting everything sorted correctly. I've been giving myself a...

Thanks for the replies! I have now gathered from here and from speaking with others why people do the 12V mod, I understand it is to give the Walbro the necessary power to flow its rated peak amount of fuel. I see what you mean about tuning, and I know doing this mod would put me well on the...
