You need a vss that sends square wave pulses. Unfortunately, a lot of OEM use variable reluctance sensors, which aren't compatible unless you use a signal conditioner.

Hey everyone, I'm back for a bit. Yeah, it's been years, but anyway, I haven't really done any more work after the first successful swap. I will try and answer whatever questions you all have. I saved the pictures and such to one of my drives a few laptops ago, so I will need to dig it out and...

Well, contrary to popular belief, I wasn't drunk! I only had 3 beers earlier that day. I would have been drunk, but I only had 3 and neglected to get more. As far as the crew goes, that is crap! We used to be awesome! And thanks, the turbine is quite a bit of fun. I'm sure my neighbors don't...

Hey guys! How's it going? Sorry I've been gone. I jumped off my roof July 4th last year and broke both arms and had to get a new joint put in my elbow, so I've been fighting with the Navy to not kick me out. Been kinda busy! Don't do what I did. It hurts. Anyway, I still don't have a...

Sorry, I haven't been around here in awhile. Yes there is. I go through the procedures on post #57. I am working on another LHD digidash, but without owning a Supra anymore, it is kind of difficult to experiment around like I did on the genesis project.

Hahaha well, the closest I've gotten to an NSX is my TL. Manual transmission, Brembo brakes, fun to drive! Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I got 3 more years of this shit before I can come back up to the civilized part of the Union... Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Hey guys, how's it going? It's been awhile so I figured I would check in and say hi. I miss you guys. Texas isn't as cool as everyone makes it out to be. After my stint down here, I plan on coming back up to Whidbey. I would love to get another supra again. That will probably happen after I...

Unfortunately, the digital dash does mess with the signal some before it goes to the ECU. I believe it is something like a divide by 5 setup or something along those lines. The external speed sensor puts out 20 pulses per revolution but if I remember correctly, the stock speed sensor is...

Why are you going PWM for idle control vs the stock stepper setup?

Sweet! That really helps out. I'm starting to work on another conversion and finding new connectors really makes my life easier.

Oh nice! I don't know where you can buy them new. I know they are similar to some of the connectors on the car already, like ABS and some others. I think I listed them in here somewhere! I'm on my phone and so I can't find conveniently find it.

No problem! I'm here to help! I'm hoping to start building more conversions as things start settling in. The problem is finding female analog dash connectors. I want to make a convenient solution for anyone to use.

Well, I used to live on Whidbey and a decent machine shop was Napa in Mt Vernon. They've done great work for me and other Toyota guys.

Man, I haven't been on here in months! Moving and getting settled in took more time than I thought! Anyway, as far as the sensors go, they are close to impossible to get ahold of, since the Japanese junkyards don't think of pulling the speed sensor when they pull the gauge cluster out. In post...

Hahaha thanks! As you can see, I like engines! I finally got the radial running yesterday. It takes a lot of current to light up 7 glow plugs so I had to build a pack to hold four 10,000mah D-cells in parallel to give enough juice.

Well, I've been working on this:

Hahaha that would be pretty awesome! As far as the engine goes, not much really. Just start it up and watch it run. I have a video on YouTube of me running it at night. http://youtu.be/7SbaxCCaBps

Oh well, it's just an old jet that I cobbled together years ago while in the middle east. I scrounge up a bunch of parts from the DRMO facilities there as well as eBay. It idles at 30,000rpms and red line is 95,000rpms. I start it with a modified hair dryer. Here's a few pictures of it. It's...

Shawn, not yet. I've been pretty busy at work and such and getting things situated in the house. Unfortunately, our garage is incredibly small and we live in suburbia so having a car project isn't really feasible. I have however been working on dialing in my jet engine. Once that is done (and...
