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 went to the store yesterday, and got some hoses i needed to plug this puppy up. i think i have plugged all the holes that havent been used (cans the valve cover one.)
so, i removed this
and iam going to install this.
apparently the last one in advance in the country on clearance. payes $1.65 after tax.
so iam going to stick that here.
but first i need to do this.
and tada.
and i hooked up my wastegate. hopefully this is the right way.
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!!
Great project!
