LOL yeah, so true, but its play on words is so subtle, yet so blatantly obvious. It's an oxymoron wrapped up in 10 letters.

Welcome! That's a nice list of Toyota's you have there. And your screen name is simply awesome.

The metal barrel is crimped first on either end for each wire, then the shrink barrel is slipped over it and shrunk down. The colored end is slightly larger to accommodate multiple wires, as in a situation where you "T" into a wire. Also the two ends contain a plastic that becomes semi-fluid...

I was in the solder shop 69B/C. We were the only shop authorized to use solder splices. Nobody outside of 69B should be doing any soldering unless they are Depo level artisans. They have to be preformed correctly by a certified I-level 2M tech. O-level techs were not allowed to preform them...

The military uses solder splices. During my time in the Navy I preformed many in the navel aviation field. However the quality standereds were very high, and you had to have a special certification to preform them. Proper environmental crimp splices like the military uses are very expensive...

Not too many 2JZ-GTE OBD I harness's floating around the junk yard in good condition. Unless you know something I don't.

I would like to re-emphasize the importance of the proper crimp tool for the type of crimp your doing. The importance of this one thing cannot be understated. Granted,looking back you did say that. The picture still shows a poor solder connection, it might have been better to pick a different...

And your wires are wicked, this can create a stress point that can fail under movement, or vibration. This is the reason many people recommend environmental crimp connections as opposed to solder connections, especially in places like the aviation field. A proper solder connection is not a...

There is a pressure switch on the passenger side of the engine compartment that can tell if there is enough refrigerant in the system. The OP says this switch is passing continuity which indicates that the system has enough to at least operate.

Thats the wire for your A/C water temp sender, located there behind your hand in that pic. edit:quick on the reply VK

For newer turbo's yes, but the 1GGTE and the 3SGTE didn't have these anit-surge housings.

Toyota would be the best place to get them, but sthey want a kidney for them. The pics are not the best but you get the idea. Yeah I've thought about that, but do to the location (under the turbo's) most harnesses are going to be in similar condition. I would prefer to have wire I could...

I'm currently in need of some replacement pins ( 82998-12620). They are for the crankshaft position sensor on the harness side. The insulation has cracked at the base of the connector and the wire has begun to bird cage. Champion Toyota wants $17.97 per pin and pigtail. This price seems insane...

Correct, the 1GGTE had no from of BOV or BPV from the factory. Unfortunately I'm not knowledgeable enough on turbocharger theory to give you an accurate answer about why the manufactures chose to omit the valve, or how they deal with the compressor surge. I have my theories but nothing I can...

I would be surprised if he did as the 1G came stock with an AFM, but yes if he has a MAP sensor it won't have these problems.

You have a good memory, the 1ggte did not come with a BOV. Negative. Like stated above the 1ggte, certain versions of the 3sgte and the turbocharged cars built by Noble, are just a few that didn't come with BOV/BPV's. Wow, your mechanic scares me. His understanding of the system is a...

We will never see flip-ups again. Turning them on negates all the time and money invested in getting the coefficient of drag of the car as low as possible.

Umm, wow some people need to reread the original post. He never mentioned the ft-lbs used. He said he used 160 psi on the impact gun. If it's a good gun of decent size it could be a considerable amount of torque, then again if it was a Walmart special, it might not even do 100 ft-lbs.

Thanks Ian, I had a feeling you would be the one to reply. If you have the rack and can get a hold of the computer it's a really easy thing to hookup. 5 wires, a power, a ground, the two wires that go to the solenoid, and the speed signal.

I believe this phrase fits. "This......will....be... EPIC!"
