    Never again hack your harness to fit injectors!

    the evo1 injector clips that fit the rc injectors are less then $.50 through TE, formally tyco, amp etc.. The pins/terminals cost less then $.20.. I'd say less then 2 bucks in parts there... The entire harness can have new terminals and connectors for less then $50 quite easily if you know...

    7MGTE Ticking?

    hard to tell over the web but I'd venture valve lash. If its RK, its not keeping up with engine rpms. You can count it each time it "ticks". Valve lash would be ticking at 1/2 engine rpm. When its only a valve or two out, you can almost count each time it "ticks" near idle and coming off...

    Pegged the speedo, now the needle bounces at low speed.

    Mine used to bounce at low speeds, anything below twenty until i let some 30w oil soak through the line at the ends. Pull the whole cable and build a funnel with a plastic bag around the end and let the oil seep through with it hung up. Took that from another member on here. ---------- Post...

    Lincoln Mark VIII electric fan

    wont fit last I checked, cant remember if it was before I installed the AC though. grab a tape measure and check. Those fans are deceivingly thick.. the one I measured had a lot of material removed to make it thinner for a buddies Lincoln too. Check into the dodge viper fans, those and...

    Curious Q. about headgaskets

    Pull the head and see. To many variables to give you a definite answer. The head will warp a bit just from removal. Check the block with a straight edge, deck the head (rebuild it actually if you really want to be proactive) and call it a day. The block needs to be checked closely for any...

    Injector Current Draw

    ^ right, the engine harness feeds the resistor power and then it is split 3 ways back out to the engine harness and injectors. I'm replacing that plug and the other engine to harness plugs as well. I just grouped it with the body to engine plugs since its in the same group of wires.

    Injector Current Draw

    if I'm picturing this right, the injectors are in parrallel with each other. Common connection points with two paths of flow. So 4-4.6 amp through the resistor to 2 injectors,assuming 12-14v. the injectors in parrallel provide 1.25ohm for a total of 4.25ohm per injector circuit. Thats...

    Injector Current Draw

    In the middle a refurb of the engine body harness and engine harness. The connectors I'm heavily considering for the body to engine harness plugs can take 20 amps. From my research I've concluded that the injectors CAN draw as much as 4-6 amps each. The only hold up is the power to the...

    No oil pressure?

    no oil pressure on a new build with plugs removed= danger. I had 20+psi on a fresh build with an elec. pressure gauge after 2 30second+ crank setions with plugs removed. delay was caused by filling the oil cooler and lines.. run the turbo oil feed line into a clear bottle, you'll see the...

    HELP to Understand Maft Pro Tuning

    to much subjective data.. rpm skipping? felt when driving the car or on the logs? wot is effected by part throttle maps. tune your part throttle and then tune wot. part throttle takes a day or two of stop light + highway driving to get the tccs to tweak the stock maps.. wot is pretty...

    Ignition Timing

    lost all my data on what I was compiling from the maftpro. MB crashed on that laptop.. redhot, thats a good chunk of timing for pump at 200kpa or 15psi or so from my experience with the stock maps.. was it steady state tuned with some sort of knock detection? det cans or something perhaps?

    BAD DAY! MY 1JZ MKIII was stolen and wrecked today!

    dude... house over car any day of the week. most mk3 that i have seen have the tumblers so worn on the igniton, you can remove the key with the car runnning... doesnt take much to get them started. last time i saw something like this on a personal level.. co worker was robbed of a radar...

    Strange noise from Engine

    My forged bottom end sounds similar. only at idle. Bit of a "lighter" sound then before. guessing lighter rods/pistons might have that effect. Mine got tore down after only a few miles a few months back due to a rattle under the accel to deccel shift on throttle lift off. Rod bearings had...

    Supra vs Ford GT on Forum Wars

    I'm just glad they freaking backed their words! A lot of people round here talk the talk day in and day out but always find a reason to avoid an all out race. A lot of the higher dollar car guys wont even consider a run unless they know its a win.. guessing its something to do with the $$$...

    Overheating issues

    Its hard to compare the mkiii systems to 20 year newer vehicles. I did this initially and finally realized there are way to many advantages or disadvantages per vehicle. Trucks usually have a ridiculous amount of air flow through the grill. Not to mention the motor is usually toy sized...

    CajunKenny's Build Thread

    damit ken, I send you out to score my dope and you find a way to buy another 7m! :wtf: Will you please stop taking all these good deals from other less fortunate mkiii owners? First the AEM (dont get me started on the multiple mkiii's and 7m's you already have) and now a built motor found...

    Overheating issues

    AC should kick off at 212*. Are all the sensors in the water neck hooked up properly? I've had my ac kick off once due to temps. extended idle in bumper to bumper traffic last summer or the summer before. Temps stabilized and started dropping slowly after the ac kicked off.
