A few months ago during the end of fall, there was a huge windstorm and a tree branch broke off and went straight through my rear windshield like a harpoon through cardboard. The glass ended up shattering. Since then I have searched local autoglass places and safelite and have come up empty in...

86.5 N/A w/ JDM motor/intake mani to TB So my climate control blinks alternately with my blinkers when I have my lights on. I've done a bit of electrical work to the car, o2 sensor wiring for A/F meter (used cig lighter for power, and i believe cruise control activation button on left...

So, this thread is a bit late since i've started over a year ago slowly adding to the car. It is an N/A 86.5 w/ perfect compression JDM motor w/ OEM Toyota HG/bolts. After I hit a deer at 65mph, I reassessed what I wanted to do with the car. I am still undecided in which route I want to...

at the time i knew about the code 51 and tried every way to get the TPS to respond properly. Any meter reading of the IDL - E2 and VC - E2 was perfectly fine, but could not get good readings for any VTA. with the new TB and TPS (also used a new TPS connector from the harness that came with my...

22 BTDC is frickin ridic and youre idle is way high, I would check the TPS as per tsrm and the TPS wiring to the ECU for any shorts before you get a new one. Same deal with the knock sensor. Brand new TPS can be expensive as hell something like $80 on driftmotion. amen JJ, my motor was...

lol. my dad laughed hard at me when i got shocked. what about injector noise as a whole. how violent is the tick? my last motor a tick turned into a shot rod bearing which i did not diagnose until too late. however now on my new motor i am getting tapping noise from the injectors which sorta...

So this is one that I got no comments on. Glad to say that using the JDM TB with N/A intake manifold was a sure success. Removing all vacuum from EGR system allowed me to let the system flow but back up at the EGR Valve. No noticeable increases in temperature to the rear of the block were...

I have a dilemma. I am currently in the process of a NA-T conversion and am using my N/A JDM intake manifold, N/A JDM Y-Pipe and JDM Throttle Body. The JDM GE motor that I bought did not come with a bracket that allows adjustment of the accelerator cable. The JDM throttle body appears to be...

Spotted a white 89+ turbo on route 94 around 3:50pm in Chester, NY. First supra spotted in my county that is actually running :)

[skip to the last 2 paragraphs if you do not feel like reading :icon_bigg] I am currently moving piece by piece to try to lower the amount spent on absolute necessity parts for my conversion. My top end spending cap is at ~$2,000 and at the moment, I am at ~$1,491 using local supra friends...

dont really remember gunna need the +12v and the up or down attached to the ground I think, not 100% sure.

i had a similar problem, though it sounds like my idle was slightly different (bouncing from 500 to ~900 rpm every second and on acceleration it would bog out). Tho you are posting problems about a turbo car (dunno if NA-T or GTE) in a N/A forum hehe. I'd also check the codes again, be careful...

make sure you put the working switches in, sounds like it could either be the driver switch or both. in my case i made the mistake of using the same old switch twice instead of replacing it with a new one. if you get power to roll the windows up and down by jumping the up/down pins to the...

ditto, my last motor started out like this, very faint. the crank pulley was loose and off balance (guessing it warped the crank but never checked before i scrapped the crank and rods). after i addressed that situation it noticeably got worse and worse over 6 months and one day it sounded like...

I see, that sorta makes sense but how would I get the upper spring seats to raise up to meet the top of the pillow ball mounts? In pretty much every picture on JIC's page is misleading because I never had a manual for my coilovers and it was my first non strut/shock combo buy for any car so all...

i don't have a pic of them off off the car, if you were to show me a pic of yours i could definitely match them. you can just look at mine and see that they would match or not, on top of the pillow ball mount is just a lug. I'm also not interested in buying new coilovers, i'd rather spend a...

hahah yeah I have an extra 7m that i want to learn on, not necessarily take it to the step that you did, more one at a time starting with the standalone ecu and ITB's

My car is only at a 3cm drop in front and 2cm in rear. I did notice when adjusting them today that some of the locking seats were very loose as were the springs. Every few months, I check them to make sure they are tight, not too tight to put compression in them but tight enough to keep them...

Hey, Jens. I've been thinking about this project for the past few days, and i'm wondering what electronics did you use for this build. Also, the fabrication of the m3 ITB's how much work is it and how much money would I expect to work a project such as that? (Just the ITB's, manufacturing and...
