The exhaust port is blocked at the head already, and I see a block off plate on the intake manifold where the EGR valve would go. Therefore, the EGR is removed and the exhaust and intake leaks are blocked. Ready to run a JDM ECU, but really... I'd run the EGR myself.

It's in the TSRM. When IDL is shorted to E2 at the TPS and RPM is greater than ~2000 (I don't recall the exact RPM), the ECU activates FCO.

I wondered at first about it "running lean" with a partial fuel delivery, but I'm satisfied that doesn't happen. FCO also happens when you let the throttle snap back to closed with engine RPM over about 2,000 RPM or so, too. That happens often enough to assure me that it's both safe from an...

The clutch will last as long as your right foot lets it. What you have to remember is that there is a penalty every time you drop the gas pedal in clutch life. If you keep the 7M-GTE stock, at stock boost and refrain from launching it, the stock 7M-GE clutch will do okay with that for a while...

My alias just about everywhere except in the Supra community since 1996.

2JZ-GE is easier if you already have a 7M-GTE. You need the flywheel, clutch and stuff from the 7M-GE. You already have it, so... No problem. It means that you can also use a 7M-GTE that used to be auto, though the 5 speed ECU would be better.

If you are worried about the engine running lean because the fuel is being cut off... It won't happen. FCO is a built in safety, and Toyota wouldn't design it to cause bigger problems.

Welding the differential is an option if you want a dedicated drift car, but I'd never drive that way on the street. I'm not sure if our differentials are 1.5way or 2 way, but they definitely limit when torque is applied in both directions. I can't see from the parts list how the clutches can...

Yikes. What people are telling you is: If your LSD is tight enough to affect handling, then what you will get is understeer. This is because if it's tight enough to do that, then it's not going to let the wheels rotate at different speeds as you try to corner in a grip situation. If both rear...

It's not difficult. The resistor block consists of some coils of wire soldered to a board. It's supposed to be cooled by the airflow from the fan in the vent, though that means that the slow speed coils, which need the most cooling actually get the least. You can find the coil(s) which are...

Fix the resistor block. I've fixed 4 or 5 of them now. I'll probably re-do the one in my '90 just because.

When you're 20, $3500 can be a lot of money. Heck, it's probably enough to go buy another sports car in reasonably good condition. As for the cost of upgrading something else, it always depends on where you want to go with it. I spent a lot of money on my '75 Chev back in the early 90s, and in...

That sounds more like the VSV to me. If the VSV doesn't operate, then the valve doesn't open. There's a temp sensor near the heater core that tells the climate control that you've got heat. The fans don't come on for heat unless that sensor gets warm. You can see if it's a fan problem by turning...

Well, let's see. The data tag on my car has the following on it: C/TR: 3E5/FJ12 MODEL: MA70L-BJMVZK A/TM: G305/R154 3E5 is the colour code for the Super Red II paint. I therefore presume that the FJ12 is the code for cloth in medium grey, since it's a 1990, it won't be shadow grey. This...

Look at the vehicle data tag for the A/T (Axle/Transmission) code. It should be G28x/W58 or G28x/A340 for an auto. For what it's worth, Canadian spec Mk3 NAs were all sold with the G285 (4.300:1 LSD) axles, so there should be a supply of them here.

There should be a vehicle data tag inside the driver's door with colour codes, you know...

You can't swap the speedo gear from an R154 to a W58. Your speedo will be 10% out, so if it says 100, you'll be doing 110. It's exactly 10%. You can fix the speedo needle with the spring adjust, but the odometer will still be wrong. It's not hard to get used to, though I had to explain the...
