What did you do with your 60 this weekend? (8 Viewers)

I can’t remember the last time I’d clean or washed the 60. My wife wanted to take it down to the beach and dig razor clams while staying at our friends house in Ocean Park, Washington.

Left this afternoon on the 160 mile drive from Oregon across the Columbia to Washington, back across the Columbia to Oregon and then back across the Columbia on the 4 mile long Astoria bridge to Washington and up the Long Beach peninsula. Up to Ocean Park to the beach house.

Which pcm are you using? Red green or blue green? Does your PCM have the IAC Driver chip on it?

You can just run it to ground to trick it into thinking that you have a low pressure switch, and then use the toyota low pressure switch to control the AC Compressor clutch function. It should be going to pin 55 on the green connector. Only do this is you wire the AC like i explain below. If you are just wanting to run it off a relay and have the fan come on when you press the button and not controlled by the PCM then youll want it to go to your low pressure switch in the evaporator.

That pin 55 will be looking for a ground though so if you want your AC to work youll need it seeing ground or it wont send power to the AC Compressor clutch no matter how you wire it up


you also want to make sure you still have pin 80 on green, pin 45 on blue, and pin 14 on green. these 3 should go to your high pressure transducer. Youll need that if you want to run the AC and fans through your pcm instead of hacking up your AC Amplifier. (running your ac through your AC Amplifier isnt really smart because your 60 series doesnt have a high pressure switch in the system at all. If you build up too much pressure from a fan malfunction or something.... it will shoot freon out of the back of your compressor instead of turning the compressor off).



If you want the PCM To control your AC and fans, for the low pressure switch youll actually use pin 43 on the green connector (AC Compressor clutch relay control) and then use a relay with the toyota low pressure switch to control the low pressure function.



Clear as mud huh?
Clear as mud indeed. I'm using a blue green pcm with the service number 12576106. I'd like to have the PCM do the idle up and whatnot. From what I've read on LT1 this one should work to do the fan and AC analog input.


Right??

Yep thats the same PCM i used. Youll need to get your tuner to switch the AC Request in HP Tuners to analog 12v. Shoot me a pm with your email. I had an entire section in my how to ls swap thread on this and all of the wiring and steps needed but i took it out for a few reasons. I saved it though and can just send it to you.

If you do it right your PCM will control your idle up for AC, fan operation, and will cut power to the compressor at WOT.

This is the thread

If youre ever down near portland give me a shout btw

 
Definitely text Bianca.

And tell her you'd like to treat her for dinner. Roll up in the cruiser and film her reaction when she gets in the 60 and you're.....you.
Anyone that’s writing numbers down with a bic fixed point pen….. had a landline and isn’t texting to THAT number.

I’m in SE PDX. The Woodstock area with a blue FJ-62.
 
dude nice! im over on the west side. I think ive seen like 2 60 series since moving here. everyone seems to like 80s here
If you make it a little further north, you’ll find some cool guys in the Seattle cruiser head group…mostly 60’s
 
Got the rest of my windows tinted now that I got the cargo sliders installed. Looks darker in the pic than in person. Feels less like a fish bowl driving it but can still see out at dark.

I started tearing down the engine harness to make it standalone. I've got all but one connector figured out. It's a 2 wire connector up near the MAF connector with a 2 pin connector. One pin is black and ground. One pin looks to be light blue (although all pinouts show it to be dark blue) and goes to pin P of the C100 connector. Apparently it's for an AC low pressure sensor. Donor is a 2005 H2. Does this sensor need to be in the harness/ system for a functioning AC?

Chasing wires recently on my 5.3 harness and noticed the wire coloring off on some colors, realized the heat and elements get to them.

Beautiful spot, family, Western Oregon, ocean. Like going to Disneyland yet all the pics are of the cruiser! Love those gauges
 
Finished up another one.
2 week start to finish time on this one.

So very busy weekend, managed to get a donner dashboard with a diesel RPM gauge and figured i can do IT!

4 hrs later i had broken both speed needles (MPH and KM one) fitted the diesel RPM gauge and couldn't get it to work (I guess the 12HT / 2H have different setup for wiring not compatible with the 1HDT diesel pump wiring)
Finally managed to super glue the speed needle (yes crooked and looks ugly as sin) and discovered the speedometer is not at all smooth (jerks up and down) and I couldn't adjust the KM distance from the Miles one.

Long story short way beyond my experience :S and still no RPM and not happy with the KM gauge :(
