Does anyone know what this wing is? I plan on repainting my Supra and would very much like this on the back of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbQnkilSNVg

Holy, this thread is 20 years old! This takes me back. For anyone who wants to know, that Blitz Access ECU took a shit and possibly destroyed my motor. My car has been in the shop ever since August of 2009 and the entire motor was rebuilt with lots of goodies to go along with it (Driftmotion...

Quick update from my Android phone. The mechanic is busy with old ladies minivans, so he hasn't really done anything. He said he started it on the weekend once and it was fine. So he is going to assume when he takes it for another test drive, it'll be good. Its not throwing any codes, so he...

I forgot to mention that while idling cold, it was still pretty rich. The meter displayed 10.0-11.0 air/fuel ratios. And it still sputted a little now and then while idling, but it was much improved from before. I didn't stick around long enough to let the engine warm up to see if the fuel...

It seems the mechanic took the Blitz ECU home with him and attempted to resolder as many connections as he could, and managed to replair the ECU! I couldn't believe it. The Supra was sitting outside and it was only 1 degree above zero Celsius, so it was nice and cold to see how it would start...

A new dampener is worth a shot I suppose and since mine was clogged up previously. Where do I find a brand new dampener? A 2JZ one from Toyota would work, right?

I went in today, but the mechanic had left early. My car was still sitting outside so I looked inside. It looked like he hooked up the old Blitz Access ECU, so I assume it still did not want to run properly. I imagine he's starting to think something is up with my stock ECU now and wanted to...

The TPS is set to dead center and does not look to be tampered with. There is still white paint marking when it was set from factory. He changed the spark plugs but has not yet started the car. He wants to have it nice and cold to see how it will start, seeing as that's when it tries to flood...

I talked to Dale the mechanic today as he was leaving the shop. He was busy and was not able to really work on my car today. He has the plugs ready to put in and took a gander at the TPS. He says it does not appear to be tampered with. But he also did not play with it. He said he can hook up...

Thanks for the suggestion 1jzdarek! I will inform my mechanic about adjusting the Throttle Position Sensor! Yeah, he cleaned out the fuel dampener and put it back in. Apparently it was the source of the clogged fuel line previously and is why he removed it. It had a fair amount of debris in...

Yeah, new fuel filter and new Wablro 255 lph pump. The pump has been tested and it operates normally (with the constant 12v modification).

After it's all bolted, the device is actually upside down. He did this because the supplied gauge wouldn't have been facing the correct way. The the adjustment is on the bottom and the return is on the top, but only because it's mounted upside down. I can double check the instructions, but...

Anyone else use MagnaFuel FPRs?

There was a blown capacitor and a burn on both sides of a circuit board in the Blitz Access ECU. Plus after replacing it with a stock ECU purchased from here, the car was able to start. I still have the Blitz ECU and I'll attempt to send it away to Driftmotion to see if it is repairable after...

We have a constant 12 volts going to the fuel pump. During a previous issue where only a few driblets of gas could reach the engine, we did the 12 volt mod. As it turned out, there was a blockage in the fuel line. Then after that, the car ran way too rich. So then we reverted back to the...

My JZA70 Supra melted 2 pistons in August of 2009. It's been in the shop ever since being rebuilt. The rebuild was completed, but annoyingly, many many issues keep coming up that prevent the car from behaving normally! I can delve into those issues in another post you guys want to hear about...

The Blitz Access ECU that was operating my 1JZ decided to take a shit while I was flooring it....it melted 2 pistons.

I'm from Saskatchewan, and 2 years ago I drove my right hand drive JZA70 in the winter (and I'll do it again this year if it ever gets out of the shop). Any snow/ice tires will do, you really have to just not drive like a dumbass. In the 70s almost every car on the road was rear wheel drive...

Haha, yes, he did put fresh fuel in the tank. Small update: It lives!! But only by the use of the shop's mobile fuel pump device. Dale plugged it directly into the fuel rail and adjusted the device to pump 40PSI of fuel, and it actually ran! I almost threw up when he told me. He said when...

I've got 275/40/17 in the rear and 255/40/17 in the front. I should have gone with a 245/40/17 in the front in retrospect, it would have made the rears look wider by contrast. Oh well. I talked to Dale about the cams being 180 degrees off. He's certain they are correctly positioned. His...
