seems unlikely to me that the coolant is getting into your oil through the turbo. it is also possible to have a leaking head gasket and still get a good compression reading. I would keep an eye on the coolant level, and smell your exhaust. If its sweet smelling...big trouble, if its using...

i love that exhaust! great work

what a cool event! this is the kind of events that will inspire me to drive again! Will there be more of these in 2010?? Thunderhill is an AWESOME track, with some great rythm sections.

have you looked into the ISC at all? or the dashpot / set screw that the butterfly rests on on the TB?

hard to say what happened with the fuel pump...but I recommend NOT using a walbro. They seem to have a higher than acceptable (by my standards) failure rate. When I went with a new pump I used a MKIV pump rather than the cheap easy (until it breaks once) route.

wow what a great project and result! vid on the track is awesome.

be careful! the sensor grounds itself by being bolted into the exhaust, i crossed a one of the heater wires with the signal wire and had to solder a new component into my ecu. I recommend just getting a new 3 wire sensor and not having any trouble to years / fried ecu.

real easy, just take out the cluster and disconnect the cable from the speedo, disconnect the cable from the trans and pull into the interior, and replace! I got my cable at pick and pull for $5 and it took me about 5 mins to get it out of the donor car (trans was already out, just had to pull...

I wish my supra was that light!!! Good to see someone actually driving their project hard.

soldered in new resistors, no dice. Still has a crummy low idle. Time to spend some money.

does the CEL flash repeatedly like it should when you jumper? if you have a 2nd set of hands you can hold it open and have someone crank

im guessing code 42 speed sensor. Mine did the same thing when the speedo cable was busted.

did you jumper for codes? Sounds like a injector cleaning would be a good idea since dirty injectors can ruin an expensive engine. Also agree the ECU seems like a issue, will it run if you hold it open, or does it die no matter what?

id love to, but I could race two or three (depending on crashes) whole seasons on my bike for the cost of a motec and a tune...and I'd still have a 3600lbs car that will never actually be that practical or fast...or track worthy. I just want something with 450 at the wheels that is reliable and...

that is how I have it set up now, but thanks!

with the AFR being so erratic I would second taking a look at your ECU.

thanks for the tips. What should I check in the alternator (sorry if that seems stupid) and basically the only wiring for the alternator should be a line between the fuse box and the alt. correct?

nope, the first ecu has no burning on those resistors....

Well, took my car out to get some brews. Get home, and its running great, park out side my garage to go open the house. When I come out to re start the car I flip the lights on and she wants to stumble and not idle at all. Pull the ecu and find this. This is my 2nd ECU. I have a sick...
