LOL. Not patient, just not in too much of a hurry. But I will say that I miss driving it. I've been driving my Trooper now for a year and a half, and I'm in serious danger of becoming a 'truck guy'.

Glad to hear that you unloaded that green car. Way too much work to undo some of the issues on it. Keep us posted on what you end up buying!

Today, I took care of a few more little nagging issues. My Driftmotion intercooler made slight contact with the front center nose/ latch support, so I had to notch a bit of clearance into it. Also, the coolant overflow bottle interfered with the intercooler, so I decided to relocate it to the...

Don't remind me, brah. Of course, at least it made Halloween interesting this year.

Cool- yet another thing I didn't know. Is that used for the cruise control, and/ or any other system?

Ah- the difference in meaning a single letter can make- It's like night and gay...

^This. I have to ask- In all this testing, and parts swapping, did you check the EFI fuse in the engine compartment?

Thanks, Miekedmr. No, if I recall, i pressed it all out as one piece. Unlike other bushings with a steel sleeve, this one is hella thick, and would be hard to cut. I let PB blaster soak into it overnight first.

Don't know about the 529. And I'm just using generic coils from Ebay.

What he said. Sounds like a huge amount of blowby. I assume that you get a decent amount of blue smoke from the exhaust. I would guess that piston rings would have to account for that much oil loss/ crankcase pressure.

I've heard of people going with a smaller cannister. I think the 1JZ powered supra's had a smaller version.

So, i've been working a bit on this install, but I came to a speedbump- the throttle bracket assembly. The problem is, that the post suport of the bracket assembly needs to occupy nearly the exact same place as the #5 coil's mounting tab. I was having a hard time trying to figure out a way to...

Looks good.

First, check that the battery terminals are very clean. If they are oxidized on the contact face, they will have a very small electrical contact area, and when you go to start, it will short under the high amperage. PS- Auto parts stores are sometimes sketchy about allowing the return of...

I found that the Eibach's were very easy to live with in th real world. Hardly ever scraped going over speed bumps, etc. I think alot of people end up rubber their fender liners because they eventually lose a few of the fasteners here and there during maintainence. If they have all of their...

I know that the ecu gets a speed input, but it comes from the speedometer itself?

I really like that your manifold allows the use of ac. That was always a dealbreaker for me. I assume that it requires a battery relocation though, yes?

Did my harness today.

Didn't do much today, but got one tiresome chore out of the way: Plug n Play DG500 coil harness.

Good to hear that you got things sorted out.
