All the component parts were a perfect fit. It's the 'dog's danglies'.

The hybrid 'flappy paddle' steering wheel is finished and fitted Facelift Supra Tiptronic wheel, MR2 Mk3 airbag and a TuRD horn button badge. Ready for the Suprastick VV4 to go in

I have the T.T. Torsen diff only, without casing. Was hoping to find someone who had gone N/A/T and needed a T.T. ratio diff.

I will let you know what info they send. I have been studying the wiring diagrams, not easy with on disc info, and for a different sensor set up. It looks likely that when I wired the new AIT sensor into the loom, I severed the ring earth for the EGR sensor, Throttle position sensor, Trans oil temp sensor and EFI water temp sensor. No wonder it's not happy.

w, Thank's for the tip, and the link Have taken a look, it sounds a bit 'tea from China', but nothing ventured, nothing gained. I have sent an enquiry for more info, and the price. Have just fitted the U.K. brakes, which was not quite 'plug and play', as I didn't have the U.K. back plates, so the fronts were removed, and the rears given a pruning with the disc cutter. Looking forwards to giving them a few G's after they are bedded in and the Jap spec brakes not rolling about in the back

As I have no dea what that is, the answer is no.

Close, it was ** Farndale Ave, lazing about in a mates tool box

Here's a better snap of the tap.

m, Can we move on please?

8mm brass gas tap, fits and works a treat.

Rob, Take a look at the plenum intake before it was insulated snap, and you will notice a brass tap at the rear of the rocker cover. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/vbpicgallery.php?do=big&p=16204 This allows me to keep the hot water isolated, yet should the throttle body freeze up one damp cold morning, I can open it. Simples Paul/Ian I am just as curious to have these figures. For the ?rd/th time, these will be measured after I finish the efficiencies upgrades. Only pointless prattling until then. m, If you read the thread, you will find that my target is 280. However, I don’t really want fuel wasting cam overlap. I shall decide on the day, and be quite content with the outcome. This is my everyday car, I am up to my neck in half finished jobs and the flashing overdrive light, and throttle position sensor (error code 38) hiccough is holding me up, my gearbox and overdrive are not working properly because of this, and since fitting my new speedo face, it is reading about 12 mph too fast? I do all the work outside, and the weather has been awful. If you want to know any quicker, then get your woollies, wellies, spanners and brollies out. Can you please think of some new and maybe not so negative topics, I have answered these before.

Fitting the AEM ECU is the last job on a long list, and will be installed and dyno'd in one. There is still a lot to be done and this throttle sensor position problem is holding me up.

If you have the diff, then wouldn't any likesize casing do?

I have a 200mm Torsen 3.769 (diff only) suits all 200mm T.T's and N/A 6MT. Will trade it for a 200mm 4.083 Torsen, or TRD LSD 41301-JS402 for N/A auto.

Like I have said before, the engine and rest of car is mid project and there is a lot more to do. I will present some proven figures when I am finished. Please excuse my sense of humour.

Wow, that's just what I am looking for, except my auto is a Jap import N/A. Nevertheless, it is interesting to learn that the settings are different. The (JAP) MAP system is very different from the (U.K./U.S.) MAF sensored N/A engines. That is why I suspect the Jap version that has a throttle body with different vacuum systems and a MAP sensor set up, will have different settings also.

That's exactly how I set it. However, this puts it in a completely different position than it was on the previous throttle body. Are you sure you have a Jap spec manual?

When fitting the reworked throttle body and inlet manifold, I set the throttle position sensor as per U.K. spec workshop manual. However, my Jap spec auto has a different throttle body with only 1 vacuum take off, instead of the U.K. 3, and uses MAP, not MAF. I strongly suspect this is why my gearbox and overdrive is now 'misbehaving' when hot. Does anyone have the throttle sensor position setting information from a Jap spec workshop manual please?

Link to the engine pics. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=3257 As can be seen in these photographs and list below, my focus is "efficiency". Like I said, I will measure the gains when the job is jobbed. However, I have recently driven my half completed project to Russia and back, at a steady 80mph in U.K, 100 across France and Holland, 120 on the German autobahn's, (150 for a short while) 100 on Polish motorways, and stop start driving on their 'A' roads, and 70 across Belarus. (you don't speed there unless you want a new job in the salt mines) 4000 miles in total, all with the air-con blasting and averaged 32mpg. I expect more when finished.

m life I don't like that game..... it invites too much "negativity". I would prefer to just get on with the job, and add further completed work to my car album. Nevertheless, modifications so far are giving more power and better economy, I haven't measured these yet because the jobs only half done.

I have at last managed to reduce the size of some snaps of what I have done so far. Haven't tried posting or attaching any yet, but have put these in my profile album with info, and larger pics in the 'my car'. Installation of the AEM ECU is the last but one job on a long list.

Is it a wooden stick on?
