No problem Ryan ! Glad I was of help in getting your car to start !

Well, today , forced myself to do some work on the RM2... decided to paint my extra fuel tank which I will use since it was bare metal and paint will help avoid any corrosion / rusts for which some surface rust had started to build






Aaron came over to my place and decided that he didn't want the 4" downpipe and midpipe so we did swap with my 3" downpipe / midpipe which came from Jay's car through Mark. So I wil get an extension for that midpipe so I can get it v-banded on the dual exhaust also from Jay.

Red Mamba 2 currently has the Supra NA 9" wheels on the rear with 245x50x16. Traction is always the problem on cars with good HP when you don't have the right tires setup.









In a little bit I will head to the tire shop and get the Mickey Thompson Street ET II 295x50x16 installed and see how RM2 would look like.... got to have traction to put that power down !!!

Car looks mean with these tires . Am tempted to paint those Supra NA wheels flat black ... what do you guys think ?

CatManD3W

Looks good........Paint them flat black or you could plasti dip them...

Did you paint the lower rocker panels black......I contemplated on painting mine with undercoating

gerrb

iTrader: (34)

No .. RM2 came that way when I got it .. lower rocker panels painted already. If I paint the wheels same black color , then I will paint the lower part of the back bumper also black so there is continuation. The stock front lip is already black.

Well, I can experiment on the looks later . It is the least of my concern. I don't want my SCs to be flashy. I want them to be sleepers. You want attention, I just go around with the MKIV with the top down

Yea i wanted to paint my rocker panels and the lower piece of rear bumper black to match my lip....

gerrb

iTrader: (34)

It should look good. I actually like that black lower rocker panel and black front bumper lip. And as you said, the lower part of the rear bumper from the side extension . So you have a wrap around lower black ...

So how is your car running ? Everything good now ?

CatManD3W

iTrader: (18)

Yep everything is good so far....my 4" piece of aluminum pipe should be here tomorrow so I can make and intake out of it....and just finishing up the door panels....

I still have no idea what to do about speedometer or odometer.....I am going to buy the VSS Marlin Crawler Speed Sensor and see if it works then...

gerrb

iTrader: (34)

Did you say that rpm and odometer do not work ?


Front of the car should go down another 4 inches once the built engine is in . Anyone needs Toyo R888 315 tires you see in the picture ? I can barter and I need 2 Nitto NT555r or MT ET II DR size 305/45R18 . The R888 has less than 100 miles.




I will take out the stock sc300 catback / mufflers today and install the dual 3" catback I got from Jay and get the V-band so it can be mated to the 4" midpipe .

CatManD3W

iTrader: (18)

NO my speedometer and odometer are not working.....I have the wiring correct per wiring diagrams....My speedometer stays at 0 and my odometer has not increased in mileage...


I did jump the R109 Resistor on the cluster all my other gauges work minus those 2

After helping Aaron dropped his engine on his engine bay today , I finally installed my dual 3" exhaust. At the end where the dual meet is a 4" v-band that will mate with the 4" downpipe / midpipe

I like how you threw radials on the stock supra rims. I have tt supra wheels the 17 inch ones and wanted to do the same thing as I have a nice set of potenzas on my street rims

gerrb

iTrader: (34)

thank you... 17 TT wheels are nice too. I just thought I will have more sidewalls on the 16" and a friend who sold me his built 2jzgte engine sold those wheel for a good price




Today I did take Red Mamba 1 for a spin and was surprised when I tried firing my nitrous on the top end , the nitrous system , didn't fire. I have checked the Pro-EFI data logs and my fuel pressure to the fuel solenoid was lower than my required pressure to set the nitrous going...

Currently, fuel solenoid is getting supply after the fuel rail and on the other side of the regulator. So I decided to cap that end and get my solenoid fuel supply directly from the -10an line coming from the weldon 2345a pump .






Will do some modification on my fuel supply by using a fuel log .. 2 x -10 goes on each side of the fuel rail and the 1 x -6 goes directly to the fuel solenoid.
