always trying to help, went out of his way to ship something overseas to me

the part is working great

thanks

thanks, well seems like my timer is busted, so i'll have to find one first

seems my timer box is not working

it had 3 wires

black---most likely a ground

red

red/white

the red and red/white are most likely constant (positive) and ignition/accessory (positive)

exactly like in that pic, except no white plug/connectors on the end,...its just the 3 wires

old post, but did you ever find out how to wire this up?

once it reads correctly, just about any gauge will do the job

i'll check on the other site and see if there's any progress/issues as well

genuine SARD unit i strongly recommend

never had any trouble with mine---about 5 years now

got it from rhdjapan

thanks. keep us posted as i'm interested in how it works out

i'd like to get one if it proves to do what it claims

any update on how the blue box is working now?

Sorry I cant link the image but its the 6th one from the left

Also go to tesco's or whatever and buy a cheap android tablet at 30/40 and it will be quick enough to read the updates every 3 seconds

from the pictures, isn't it 1.3 seconds?

seen distill/battery water used with no issues

kind of strange your experiences

i run turbosmart eboost 2 on my ep91, which i guess is the advanced unit over the eboost street

i can tell you that my eboost 2 works great and no problems whatsoever over the years

i dont know specially about eboost street, but hopefully it will work similar to the eboost 2

let me state this upfront...i am not a tuner, so all risks are at you

as you have no other replies, i will try to help with what little i know

however, me and a buddy fiddled with this on emu a while back with some 360cc injectors

from what i can tell you, its just a matter of trial and error when setting the lag time and before/after injector sizing

basically, you try to get the car to be around 14.7 afr on idle when the car is at operating temperature as it seems to make tuning the rest of the injector map a bit easier

http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showwiki.php?title=Fuel+injectors+-+Removal+and+Installation

some lag times are at the bottom of that link that may give you an idea

its just a guide, as the turbo rotation generally needs tweaking to match the specific set up

once you have the turbo in a state where both the compressor and turbine side are able to rotate, then its best to place it on the car and make the final adjustments before tightening/clipping everything up

lol, that's pretty low, must have been a little sluggish when moving off

by any chance is your car modified? because some old school guys retarded timing to fight detonation when they had no piggyback/standalone to properly adjust timing

sometimes people set it without bridging the te1 e1, making it hard to set the timing correctly

Thanks for the help I will just put a second hand one on so it won't mess up any clearance's, will take the throttle body off and change the gasket.

just to be clear, a new or 2nd hand tps will need to be set up

if you dont want to set up one, your best bet is to buy a 2nd throttle body WITH the same sensor as yours and install it-----assuming the tps on it is already set up and working properly...this is a lot of hassle

it would be easier to just get what you have reset/recalibrated

as mikey4410 stated, its not that hard to do if you have the tools and its probably the cheaper option

I know Methanol is a fuel and yes I have used a water injection kit previously on another engine and it made very little performance gains at all without a map and was more hassle than it was worth because the jet kept clogging up with shit even when using distilled water. I never used Meth so can't really comment on that side of things, I can't see it making a massive difference in spool time though without logging it but I don't think any decrease in spool would be through the change in air temp, and it will also depend on the Meth % mixture.

That's a diesel engine which run very small turbo's because they have a short powerband, comparing apple's and oranges mate.

its very strange that your jet kept clogging

maybe your lines/tank/pump/kit needed cleaning out...was it a new kit when you installed it?

i know the usual period maintenance is needed with any system, but the meth/water injection kits i've seen people use seem to run very well (once tuned for) and no excessive clogging issues---aquamist and aem, i can't comment on other kits

a new sensor would need setting up

once you more the tps in any way it will need resetting as the clearances are marginal ---- as you can see from the ttgt guide with 20 thou and 28 thou feeler gauges

yeah, they are just pretty lights

useless for tuning

you need a proper wide band sensor/kit if you want to do it properly

i know my glanza (previously and automatic which was converted to manual) has a 4 wire tps and i had to end up using another guide i found on the internet

is your tps 3 wire or 4 wire?

Gorgan, I ran the cheap rods for quite some Milage at decent revs on a high comp 4e making 265 @ 1bar td04 (as you well know you tgtt man you )

Until my expensive billet cams fell apart and somewhat ruined the engine.

Ran like this for yonks loved the revs.

Get whatever rods you can', weigh they up get them matched and then balance the bottom end assembly together.

And youll have as good an engine as any and better than most.

lol, yes ttgt to the world

i'm not much into brand name, i'm into reliability and good quality stuff

on the high end sometimes you can end up paying for a "name"

while on the low end you can sometimes end up suffering from poor quality

but it doesn't mean that everything expensive is good and everything cheaper is bad

this is kind of a never ending debate, some people will swear by popular brands, some people will take a chance with cheaper stuff

everyone will have to do their research and weight the risks, then make their own decision

no problem

yeah, it can be at home. i've done it long time ago

i know pictures go a long way in helping

hope you get it sorted

Turbo topz, there are differents of quality, depends on where you buy them.

They often have 3 differents quality.

Chops, yes yes, you try boost 33psi on those fhe rods, i dare you

coincidentally, i know someone who runs 30+psi on 5efhe rods for drag racing...i'd have to check the rev limit used, but i suspect not much beyond stock

however, i'd not do it, but it seems it can be done

for what the op wants, i think forged rods are the best bet

i cant speak for the rods in question, but if they handle 33psi and 1.6psi/8000rpm, it seems they can take some pressure/revs

how long have you guys been running these rods?

can't you try to remove the brown rubber bung/plug at the back and resoldier/reconnect the wire to the attaching pin?

i'll also add, i used to buy expensive iridium and platinum plugs

nowadays i buy the cheaper ngk copper plugs of the appropriate grade, i've not noticed any drop in performance or economy
