so my blitz turbo-timer harness came in from europe(ubber rare for the sc in u.s.).




wiring it in is a snap now.


got the silicone rad hoses hooked up and test filled with water. don't forget to plug this tt water port.





and on the lower hose appears to be a cut in the bottom of the lower hose. so being that finding a local tt rad hose is like impossible. i had to improvise.





that did fix the leak. but very coincidential the same thing happend to the upper hose also(iam thinking this set was rigged).

so re-doing the throttle cable. the #3 camry (4cyl) cable was about an inch too short. so i tried out the #4(6 cyl) cable instead this time.








it appears that the 4 is a bit longer than the 3. will it fit..





BAM!!!! perfect fit. I love saving some coin.

and time for my final welding/fab of my intercooler piping..

heres the box of parts.




and after. the welds are perfect and the fittiment is spot on. still i hate math.





took forever to find someone to weld cast aluminum. but finally got it done.





tried starting the car to no avail so far. so with some recommendations went ahead and made 2 grounds.




and another behind the block





and i already have 2 on the intake manifold.

so it's midnight. and your damn car won't start. what do you do??


!COMPRESSION TEST AFTER DARK!!




very disapointed at these numbers. who knows how long the engine has sat. and i was told after warmup the rings expand. heres the lowdown.

-front-
1-160
2-110
3-130
4-125
5-145
6-165

iam tired of these damn low compression jdm engines. but dosen't explain why it wont start. the plugs are clean like fresh out the box. so iam not missing spark because there not fouled right??

it feels like the engine isn't getting fuel. idk. after the proper map sensor gets here(got a 4 bar). then i can do some more trouble shooting!!

Your ECU will not work with a 4 bar map sensor, you can only use the 2jz or 1jzgte map sensor on that stock ECU.
And who makes a 4bar anyway? i have never heard of that before.

ok i don't think that will work on stock ecu , you may need an EMS to be able to use that map sensor.

if the gm 3 bar doesn't work with the stock ecu this will more than likely not work.

i just dont want you to spend you money and find out that you can't use it.
