great vids and build, by the way!

Could it be something with the harness/wiring or maybe a grounding issue? You could try temporarily improving grounding near (circuit-wise) the igniter and coils, just to see if it makes a difference. I'd use jumper cables or whatever wire was handy attached to another major grounding point.

Nice fabrication! More motor than I would ever want just due to the inevitable gas-hungriness, but I'm sure pushing on the gas pedal will feel like thrusting into a nubile hollywood starlet... metaphorically. haha. Hope it turns out the way you want! in regards to what msjn1 asked: Ceramic...

Howdy Limequat! The driveshaft I ordered through driftmotion, the 1-piece aluminum 3" driveshaft. I just specified I wanted the GM yoke on the front and gave them measurements and it fits like a glove. For the shifter I am doing the easy/ghetto thing and cutting the trans tunnel and then...

http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?81608-Miekedmr-s-build-thread/page5 There are pictures of the spacer plate I made for my setup (to replace the washers in my last post) in my build thread.

"beta version" of transmission support made from stainless plate the welder I got and have used for this stuff. 165A tig. stainless bolts > rusty bolts drilling the oil drain hole (rear sump pan is from 2jz-ge)

I won't talk a lot because I know it bores you. Pics of the 5mm AL spacer I made to get my AR5 to line up right:

completion date GOAL. whose isn't at least 3 years in the past?

Is there any reason you chose to attach the engine to the frame instead of the subframe? I'm sure it's noisier that way.

Nice work and thanks for the walk-through of how you did it. :)

Is there anything in particular you did with the last one that turned out to be a bad idea? I was a big fan of your car and look forward to this one.

I made the Jeep engine mount fit between the two bolt holes there, facing downward. I will be building my own cross piece to attach it to the body. By the time I was done cutting up the stock piece to make it fit, there wasn't much left of it. Anyone think that the engine mount, used as a...

Here are some more pictures, since I know you guys love them: In other news: the twin ct26 1uz-fe turbo kit that Bryan had fabricated for the car has now been installed on a friend-of-a-friends' SC400 :)

I made my Colorado transmission + spec clutch combo fit. I'm going to be welding together a solid spacer to replace the washers from 5mm aluminum stock with a TIG. Exactly 5mm of spacing was needed to have the input shaft spin freely in the pilot bearing and the hydraulic throwout sit flat. And...

Ordered an Aluminum 1-piece driveshaft through driftmotion. (27-spline slip yoke on the front to mate to my Colorado AR5/MA5) Also bought what I think is a decent 165A TIG welder with foot pedal amperage control. (http://www.hobartwelders.com/products/tig/eztig_165i/)

and yes this is from back when you had a Supra still, haha.

I remember you were having trouble hooking up a fuel pump in PWM mode to your motec. You said it was putting out too low frequency of a signal. Not sure if you figured that out or not, but I stumbled across this post and it made me recall your issue with a "that must have been why!"...

Hey 87supramario. Car looks much better to my eyes, post kit removal. I got got. ;) Do you have a higher resolution version of this one? http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n152/fournier4life/photoshoots/IMG_0507.jpg I want to add it to my backgrounds at work.

that manifold is gorgeous
