    Can someone please just tell me the simple answer of what the wire gauge size is for the engine harness wires? Also, TXL or GXL?

    That is good to know and interesting information. I wish I had a spare engine harness just to examine.

    Code 51, hypothetically assume all other systems (tps, etc.) are in good working order. Can NOT having the a/c compressor connected trip this code?

    My A/C compressor is no longer installed, so I am just trying to eliminate any oddball items I might be missing. But if this can trigger a code 51, how do you go about addressing that? Once this question is answered I can continue on with the root cause of this code, but for right now I would...

    Can someone please just tell me the simple answer of what the wire gauge size is for the engine harness wires? Also, TXL or GXL?

    Yeah, that does make more sense, because you should only need to fiddle with the wires while you're building the harness. I will definitely be making a spreadsheet though.

    Can someone please just tell me the simple answer of what the wire gauge size is for the engine harness wires? Also, TXL or GXL?

    You make excellent points. Also, thanks for sharing the links to your wiring posts. I will most certainly look those over. For the bulk wiring, I would get crazier than black, red, and white. It's just easier to quickly identify what's what. I would still make a spreadsheet and then shrink it...

    Can someone please just tell me the simple answer of what the wire gauge size is for the engine harness wires? Also, TXL or GXL?

    This is VERY helpful information. Thank you. What I plan on doing is finding a newer Toyota vehicle engine harness that has the same wire colors. I'm going to buy fresh new wire for the bulk of the harness, but solder in matching wiring diagram wires, just from newer cars. It will make...

    Can someone please just tell me the simple answer of what the wire gauge size is for the engine harness wires? Also, TXL or GXL?

    I've looked far and wide for our specific engine and I'm just finding everything that I am not looking for. I'm looking to buy fresh wire to build a new engine harness, possibly from Wire Barn, who sells both TXL or GXL type wire. Before I buy a bunch of wire I just want to make sure I am...

    Anyone try any of the radiator caps with temperature gauges on them?

    My very first build, the one before this one, I had the 19psi mishimoto cap on. I am pretty sure I had an imperfect headgasket seal. I was using a metal head gasket, and I don't think it was as perfect as it needed to be. I say this because I specifically remember switching to a higher...

    Anyone try any of the radiator caps with temperature gauges on them?

    Thanks for the replies. I can understand that. I've always wanted a infrared thermometer gun, and keeping in the glove box isn't a bad idea either. As far as stock radiator caps, I have the aluminum mishimoto radiator. Do you recommend keeping the stock 13psi release pressure, and are you...

    Similar to this one? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F141819193221 I was considering the Mishimoto one from driftmotion but the pressure is too high for our cars (19psi). I really love the idea of having a temp gauge under the hood and in the...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Finally got my last intercooler pipe welded and mounted! Immediately after boost leaking testing, found that the throttle body gasket is pissing out air. I have a jdm TB and I don't think the aftermarket metal gaskets match up very well. So, I ordered a stock one from Toyota that I'm waiting...

    Do you guys remember the Blue Monster from long ago?? Well, she is about a month away from start-up 2.0!!! I've been working really hard this last month...I'm gonna share the HUGE photo album at some point cause I documented pretty much everything. But here it is so far. I'll be back at it...

    Differences in coolant temp sensors for ecu between pre-89 and post-89 7Ms?

    https://www.driftmotion.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=DM261&CartID=2 This is temp sensor for the pre-89s that goes to the computer, I just have the post-89 version of this w/ proper connector. I never HAD problems with it before. I just didn't know if you guys knew more about the numbers...

    Differences in coolant temp sensors for ecu between pre-89 and post-89 7Ms?

    Right now I have a post-89 connector on my pre-89 GTE harness, with the proper sensor. I'm trying to figure out if I should swap it back to the old setup. Nothing seemed to operate improperly when I ran it this way, but I just wanna know if there are different resistance values that I should...
