well after several more days of getting everything to fit and work properly, I finally got the car running.... Boy was I happy to hear it fire up after sitting for nearly 6 months. all the hard work paid off. I was worried after doing all this work that maybe I wouldn't be able to get it to start, or that maybe the machine shop messed up and the motor would be bad. But to my luck, so far its all gone well. At first it didn't start up because fuel injector #1 and #2 were switched. and the timing was way off with the CPS. so after fixing those two issues the car fired right up.
I Drove the supra back home, which is a 3 hour drive from where I was working on it. It made it all the way back with absolutely no issues. Never over heated, and didn't leak anything. I stopped a few times on the way back to check for leaks and such. But every time, to my surprise there was nothing dripping under the car. The motor does seem to have alot of valve chatter though, at idle. When driving the noise is gone, but at idle the valves seem kinda loud to me.. not sure if thats ok or not??
It also seems like the TPS or something needs adjusted. The throttle is very very jumpy. especialy during in town, slow driving. The throttle feels like an ON/OFF switch. I cant hold it at a constant speed, its either no gas (even with the pedal down some), or accelerate. and its very jumpy and feels like it has no inbetween. Anyone know what would cause this issue?
Here is a picture of the motor as we were putting together the last few things. I will take a final picture of what it looks like tomorrow in the day light.
Boostlee got a few videos of the first start up and test drive. I'll have to see if i can get him to post those
Now its time to tune it and make some power.. it deff. needs a tune bad, it was running very rich all the way home.
