Got the rear seats done, not too difficult as far as rear seats go.
Center console arm rest thing is back in with the seat heater switches that just plug in which is nice.
Still need to do the front seats and will install heater pads at the...
Ladies and gentlemen, I kept driving it around town on low boost with the new 7200 RPM limit and and it felt quick and powerful.
Then I switched to high boost and floored it in third gear and as soon as it got to 1.35 BAR (19.5 PSI) it felt...
Update:
My mistake, it turned out the bigger Garrett turbo I installed was a G45 not a G42, that explains the sheer size.
Took it to the dyno yesterday and I had a blast testing it and trying out different settings in the ECU. This thing is an...
I used to have a turbo sc300 for many years which I had tuned on the same type of aem v1 ecu, it was around 450 rwhp which is what I am looking for on this build except all wheel horsepower this time. My old tune should be pretty close, should...
The clock spring is the same part number for all 96-97 land cruiser and 96-97 LX450. 95 and earlier had a single sliding spring loaded contact for the horn, and no clock spring and I doubt it could be retrofitted short of replacing the entire...
Parts arrived. They fit up nicely to the Dodge 8HP75. Will be doing a fit check on a block and a transfer case this weekend and then set a date for the install.
Yah this thread was supposed to be a review of the kit, but as I am installing I guess I will be addressing the short falls. There is a thousand ways to skin a cat and everyone’s opinions are appreciated even if they do things differently than I...
Apologies for the delay here. We already got it inspected. Unfortunately torfab was a bit of a hike for them and we did use that Greg’s down in Puyallup (set it up before your comment). I did call them and let them know the areas I needed them to...
So I ordered a 3”x2.5” reducer for the throttle body to 2.5 aluminum 90 and a 2.5” silicone 90 with 4” legs but it’s to short so I ordered a long 2.5” 90 with 8” legs that i can cut down.
I would see if you could arrange a pre purchase inspection somewhere. The couple hundred dollars or less is worthwhile. If I was flying out I would definitely stop somewhere and do full fluids check and maybe change oil etc before departure. If...
All else remaining equal, I connected the boost control solenoid to the ECU.
Then I turned on the boost control and entered 30% to the solenoid duty cycle (feed forward table). I tested it and it went from 0.65 (9.4 PSI) BAR to 1 BAR (14.5 PSI)...
Finally got basecoat and clear on the fender, flare, and cowl. Lots of sanding, filler, mistakes, sanding, filler. Came out pretty good but needs wet sanding in a few weeks. I used rattle cans but definitely buying a sprayer for the rest. Going...
Coming along nicely, almost done.
The fuel system is complete, dual Walbro 535LPH fuel pumps and a custom larger fuel filter.
I also removed the A/C system completely, no condenser in front of the radiator means enhanced cooling. I also...
Off to get cerakote.
Lower radiator hose trimmed to fit with the radiator moved back 2 inches.
Modified oil drain flange to clear compressor cover bolts
So figured out the solid state relay problem. It's the presence of the driver from the Haltech in the circuit. A pull up resistor needs to be placed from 12v to the haltech driver. I am using Injector #7 and #8, and Ignition #7 and #8 for the...
Just riffing on what Pip was saying, maybe try running a separate ground just temporarily for troubleshooting. More weird problems with electronics can be attributed to grounding than anything I can think of.
