PLEASE have good news...

Oh Noez! Theez coilz blow the tranniez!!!

I'm just hoping that the DG500 is at least as "TCCS friendly" as the IS300 seems to be.

I sent GrimReaper an is300 coil and some dg500 coils, for testing. Hopefully he'll have some interesting performance info for us next week.

So today, all I did was pull the fan motor housing, to make sure it was clean. It was, but the top seal was a bit dried out, so I replaced it, along with a new blower resistor. Then I reinstalled the AC core, and reconnected the lines. Next, I want to vacuum the lines, to...

I think of a 'dump' as the wastegate exit. if that gas doesn't return to the exhaust(aka- dumped), that's less turbulence and backpressure in the piping. Any hole in the exhaust post wastegate is just a reduction of gas in the entire exhaust. Is it a performance increase? Prolly not.

Great to see such serious progress. Sweet car.

By 2jzge coil- Do you mean the IS300 style coil? If so, I can let you borrow that and the DG500 coils.

Keep up the good work.

Glad to see you're still improving the ride. Not sure if I'd want to go back to a completely stock ride height and 16" rims, but I wouldn't say i'm a 'hater' of your plan, either. Have you considered 17" mkIV rims? I think they look really good, yet respect the stock Toyota appearance.

One of the temp sensors at the thermostat neck is responsible for telling the ecu that it's at the proper temp for closed loop. Maybe that's bad? Or your cold start injection circuit? Just thinking out loud.

I officially proclaim this thread....dead. At least as far as the chances for a production mounting plate. Hey Morganson- Would you have a decent fitting phenolic plate that I could buy off you? Seems like the next best option. I just got my connector clips in, so I'll be making the harness...

and yet he states that he does see 18psi...and he's already mentioned that he has a DM 11psi wastegate installed. sounds to me like the wastegate is the problem.

Your oil cap and pcv ports seem to show bhg milkshake. That mean water got in the oil. That means the bearings were exposed to it. Your call. you might get lucky and not have any bearing issues. But it's a big gamble, labor-wise.

I used a sponge pad type of sanding block on mine this week. Its just a powdery surface rust, after all. Then i painted mine with a spray can of metallic silver wheel paint Why? Because it was a full can of paint that i was never gonna use on wheels, lol. Came out awesome.

Yikes.

A chip or two of that size isn't too much an issue, though given enough time, the slight imbalance will affect the longevity. A bit of oil in the charge pipes is normal, but looking at the milkshake, you have bhg. You didn't really outline your plan for this build, but if you hadnt planned to...

It does move your boost cut somewhat, but if you blew a pipe or coupling, you'll have the symptoms you're having.
