Knock warning light... not sure if it's configured to other warnings. Need to plug your laptop in and take a look.

Can't believe how much work you are undertaking on this car! I thought it was ready to rock and roll. May have been cheaper to buy a standard import and make it your own to begin with. As much as I'm not a fan of naming cars, I do think you're missing a trick not re-naming it to 'The Phluken' Good luck with your project, you are in safe hands.

That's outrageous! I'll certainly not be dealing with MVP.. ever!

Tony's Photoshop thread is a contender for me.

I don't think a Supra is going to help you with that one!

When minw blew/cracked (From old age) I could not start and drive the car. I'd check all the other fuses as well before you do anything else.

Yup - You need to unbolt the fuse board and unbolt the fuse from below.

If this is the alternator fuse in the glove box, then you need to undo the 2 x 10mm bolts holding the fuse board down, and the 1x 12mm bolt under the red plastic flap with a '+' on top. Then you will be able to unbolt the fuse from below.

I've never seen one go like that! I would suggest that you have a short somewhere in order for it to have gone like that. Check all your aftermarket wiring etc first.

Much better! Glad you binned off the horrible Do-Luck!

Was that with a stock disck and flywheel Luc? What torque did it hold?

RPS Streetmax with a stock centre disk.... not sure what it will hold. The internet tells me around 600 ft/lb.. not sure tbh! If it fails I'll get an LA twin. Edit: MVP Say 660 ft/lbs Torque for an RPS Cover plate and stock disc.

So I finished the first milestone today! Oil Cooler lines complete, VVti oil filter housing bolt and oil pressure sensor fitted: So now the bay looks like this, pretty standard with a few sneaky additions. MAP Sensor adapter plugs into stock loom. Apart from the Auto to Manual conversion I have not modified the stock loom one bit. Syvecs sensor loom just plugs straight in. Easy engine removal guaranteed- No cutting here! AANNNDD IT'S ALIIIIIVEEEEEE!!! Now powered by Syvecs. :D:D I had a small confusion with the idle control valve being assigned wrong. but changing the pin assignments round saw it idling like a baby at 850 RPM. It just needed a little global tweak of the Fuel map and the idle map up/down respectively and it starts and runs perfectly. So, so pleased my loom adapter is doing it's job. Thanks to Lee for the base map!

I'd be up for it! Should be single by then as well. You know what it looks like Scott.

Considering how much they cost... That baffle plate is utter WANK! How crap!!

A new kit from a trader on here. I can't post pics yet as the kit isn't released. It will be a HKS 60mm waste gate, the manifold is twin scroll, and my DP is 3". The quality is stunning and I have been dribbling over the pictures for the last couple of days. Cannot wait to get my hands on it! I will be posting up a full, and detailed product review of the new kit once I have it fitted.

Over the last year I haven't had the time to waste Alex. It will get harder soon with the new job, as my weekends are going to be busy. However I will be able to spend time in the evenings on my cars as I will be at home in the week, unlike before away for 5 days at a time! But yeah.... I am impatient. I have had the adapters for injectors, fuel pump relay, map sensor etc... plus the sensor loom and the syvecs patch loom made up and sitting in a box ready for a year don't forget. The trick to speedy assembly is planning all this stuff out beforehand! - - - Updated - - - Did you mean to write Homer?

Success! Syvecs in, fuel pump relay adapter plugged in, sensor loom pinned in...! It all looks ok apart from the Cal Switch,which is doing weird things, which I will investigate tomorrow. Thanks to Lee for the base map! If I get my oil cooler lines made up, and the VVTi Oil housing bolt I ordered from toyota turns up, I might be able to fire her up at the weekend.

A few more pics of where I got up to last night! Injectors and rail complete, AN6 out AN8 in. Think there might be a crack in my fuel pressure gauge....! [TABLE=width: 76] [/TABLE]

Excellent!

That's the plan Chris! Hopefully I'll get it done in time.

Reserved for Shane's new project. ********************************* Today I did this! My phone died and I have actually finished the fuel system entirely now. I pressurised the system up by bridging the fP & B+ terminals on the under bonnet diag port. Wound the FPR up to 4 bar and checked for leaks. I couldn't see anything and the pressure was rock steady.. Winning! Fitted my bosch knock sensor and torqued to 20nm/14.8ft.lbs as per Bosch specs. Fitted my new runners with 14mm injector bungs welded in. This is the only pic I took of the fuel lines before the phone died! This the -6 return from FPR to rail. Full specs of the fuel system are: -ID1000cc Injectors(Cleaned and flow tested by Chris Wilson) -HKS Fuel Rail -Runners with welded collets -Bosch 044 Pump -AN8 Feed line to Aeromotive Filter -AN8 Feed to Rear of Rail -AN6 Return to FPR -AN6 Return to stock return line Total cost is around £850 for anyone interested. I got some bargains so I'd say a grand would get you this setup normally. It should do ~750hp/850bhp I think, then the pump will become the limiting factor. I'll take more pics of progress tomorrow!

If Ryan remote mapped the thing... then I'd be finding out if he still has the logs from then so you can confirm what oil pressure was from the very start. If it was low, then you shouldn't have continued to run it.. I doubt it though as Ryan clearly didn't see an issue if he was happy to map it to 1.2bar. You then confirmed that you checked the oil pressure reading manually and all was well. Whatever has happened, did so after it was first mapped. I personally think you either had a constant clutch tension issue(no free play) Or more likely, you ragged it too hard before you ran it in properly, and it's died. Either way, get a stock long block and go again.

Toyota. £4.50 ea

I think there are 3 wires on the sender unit. Two for the level sensor and one for the low level indicator? I'd leave the stock plug in for the level sensor etc.. and drill a new hole for your new bulkhead connector. I'm using a single 044. I am going to re-use the stock connector but upgrade all wiring, including a new high amp feed from the fuse box, utilising a spre fuse slot in the box.(You'll need connector t82998-12140 x2 for a new fuse box feed)
