During the production of the gen 2 3sge, when they had the facelift in December 1991, did they change the signal input or methodology of the Ne, G-, G1 and G2 pins?

Are the the distributor signals prone to critical failure if not shielded appropriately?

Do different grounding points on the chassis rather than on the stock earth positions on the engine potentially cause an issue?

I haven't had much time to play with the car because of university work but had a couple hrs tinker with it today, hence the longevity of the project.

But what Charles and Jonathan have suggested still looks to be the go. Swapping computers with another early 90's st182 ecu didn't solve the trick, although now i should certainly have a G- pin for once :P, although there is no pin print out on the circuit board. The trip out with the original ecu with the D8 pin on the sw20 ecu was painfully annoying and still 'inconclusive' as to what the heck it is. ]]> Tech and Conversions bajachris88 http://toymods.net/forums/showthread.php?t=62015 http://toymods.net/forums/showthread.php?t=62012&goto=newpost Thu, 09 Sep 2010 05:26:37 GMT Can anyone confirm if they are compatible?

Need to get a short-shifter for my Soarer box but options are limited - either a $300 no-name or apparently one place still has a C's shifter for the bargain price of $450....

many of you would have seen i have a jza80 with a 1jzvvti from a jzz30 soarer.

I'm using the 1jz and automatic gearbox from the soarer. i'm looking at some tiptronic style controllers, suprastick and the like.

i have found one that a guy setup for a 1UZ using a a304e gearbox... i asked the question about fitting, he replied with this.

If it has A340E on it, yes. You'll have to check
on the forums to confirm how many solenoids are
used to change gears. This box controls the two
solenoids that change gears and the third solenoid
that operates the lockup torque convertor. Gear---
-Solenoids 1st - #1 On #2 Off 2nd - #1 On #2 On
3rd - #1 Off #2 On 4th - #1 Off #2 Off That's the
standard pattern.

Can someone confirm if the jzz30 auto gearbox im using has 2 or 3 solenoids?, also does that shift pattern make sense?

At the moment I have everything ready for a Garrett GT35r to replace my twins. I need some tips before I dive in this sat.
What size restrictor do I need? Or Garrett has a built in restrictor?
Which oil supply hole best to use? Front or back?
I think my oil drain us bit small, about under 10mm diameter, will it suffice?

All helps are welcome

I understand that quite a few people have attempted and failed, or thought it was so easy that it's a simple I2C protocol that could be modified to work. I will admit, it was a real challenge and it is no wonder very few people managed to crack it, if at all.

So far, there are pretty much two aftermarket options for tuning hardware, and that is:
* kashima communications adapter.
* datalogit's sw+hw solution.

Those are the two solutions that provide:
* both FCC2 and FCC3 communications. Yes, they are different and quite a contrast.
* work with tuning software that supports ADC input.
* analog ADC input support.

There are other hardware interfaces, such as:
* yahoo japan cable
* PFCLinker 3

But they are limited to:
* FCC3 communications only.
* FC-Pro software.
* no analog ADC inputs.

So I've developed my own hardware solution called the FC-HAKO.

Any questions or comments, throw them at me.

two nights ago as I was busy working some low life smashed the drivers quarter on my 1980 lift back. Pretty annoying I know, but what can you do. I managed to get another window from a club member,( No glass replacement shop had any) and got quoted 120 dollars for a shop to fit it. I decided to try and fit it myself to ease the pain a little. I have to point out that I have no experience fitting glass and am happy to have any other users add advice, or correct this thread.
Firstly I had to vacuum up all the smashed glass and then strip the interior out from the rear drivers side.

Then I needed to remove the B pillar cover and the chrome trim.

The cover will come off when you remove the six bolts behind it. The trim will then slide forward unless somebody has stuck it on over the course of the cars life.

The three nuts at the front can be removed with a long nose pliers or if your toolbox is well stocked a deepdrive 8mm.
The glass is held in its rubber, against the window by a metal frame, this is retained by 14 screws which I needed to remove.

Here is a passengers window showing the metal retaining frame and an absolutely shagged rubber.
Next clean all glass, rubber and surrounding frame.
Next I fitted the new glass back into the rubber and had a friend hold it in place while I tried to get it back onto the window frame.
At this point I must mention that a call to Toyota confirmed that there are no more window rubbers available in Australia, mine was pretty tired and if I stuffed it then there was nowhere else to go. I tried to use a piece of string to get it on its lip but this just cut into the old rubber. I eventually got it on with a couple of old butter knives that were really blunt and a lot of cursing.
I then used some silicon to seal it. I needed a neutral cure silastic or equivalent.

This is what I used, Supersheet for 9.99. I put a bead all around the window while it was still loose and then screwed the frame back in to retain it. Then it was just a matter of replacing all of the removed parts. I've got heaps more pictures of the steps if anybody else is forced to undergo this procedure.

Hi everyone im running into some issues with my 1uzfe swap into my 87 supra.
at the moment the car has been running extremely rich, (to the point of thick black smoke from the tailpipe)
and if the smoke clears as it does from time to time then the idle bounces between 800 and 1500 rpm
it will not rev past 3500 rpm (the rev just breaks up badly and pours more black smoke)
and today i found a brand new problem, its overheating and im not sure why.

the motor is out of a 97 sc400, the motor ecu and wiring harness all came from the same car, along with the radiator ,hydraulic fan, and coolant bottle.

so far to get the car running i have adjusted the tps , cleaned and oiled the idle air control valve , and replaced vac hoses
i have also pulled the codes and im getting
p0100 and occasionally p0101 which points to the maf wiring if im not mistaken.

here is a video of what its doing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfaG8-nFZHw
