  1. Im still gonna plastidip it. just waiting to get the correct thinners. as i think the stuff i used was wrong we also think that the nozzle on the gun isnt big enough, and that was part of the reason it was spraying strange
  2. Going good Sacha, Just need to get my top mount on and then we start being im business to make some power!
  3. I'd try engineering places. Or accounting places. I'm sure they'd have jobs for you
  4. If you didn't want to solder you could depin and repin the Ecu plugs for a truly plug and play. If I had a glanza with the Ecu in the glovebox I probably would do this. But with a gt I didn't fancy hours lying the footwell so made the adapter on the bench
  5. Like Kieran saidThis is the loom adapter Theory is based on a PowerFC. A PowerFC was never made for the startlet. It is a 3sgte mr2 one. With a wiring adapter and a few small changes inside (sequential to batch fire/recalabration of tps etc). I used that theory and the fact you configure nearly everything in software of the megasquirt. Also aided by the fact Kieran had an mr2 pnp megasquirt to hand meant it was a no brainer. The adapter cost about £10 to make. And they sell the megasquirt for the mr2 already assembled for $819. Which is about £450. Pretty cheap for a plug and play stand a
  6. I found it pretty tight, with the ps pump and a engine torque damper on the way. i couldnt get it squaare on the mark. Gonna try again another day. Ive got a glanza automatic TPS with throttle body to fit.
  7. I tried spraying the bumper and it came out all wierd so a mate, with a fair bit of spraying experience helped me we started spraying the roof and bumper and it reacted and came out all wierd again. So this has temporailly gone on hold til I get a new gun and some actually Toulene based thinners
  8. Nope. Just set the requred fuel and some really basic settings and started it. Havent got my wideband on yet, so limited with knowing how it was running. also had some problems with the wiring adapter id made, so remaking it. also adapting to run an auto TPS. Couple of months and we'll be there. I used a 3SGTE base map generally. was pretty rich, but got it started. The real bugger on the 4efte, is checking the timing, to set it to 10 degrees. Its a pain with the power steering pump on, and i cant be bothered to take it off lol
  9. Yep. The distributor reading is imo accurate enough. It tells you RPM which is basically as it needs to do The only issue will be if i want to go Coil on plug in the future and ditch the distrubuter. but i have an idea that was used to Rob H with a mazda cam sensor
  10. Theres a IAT in the inlet of the GT. So i think it would happily use that if we didnt have the GM one plugged in. Atlhough we'd have to find the scale of the stock toyota one
  11. As i said before mate. Stock dizzy. The installation for this particular megasquirt is plug and play pretty much. Theres a few more bits to get it running right and to its best. but the whole thing will run with 100% stock sensors, and without cutting any wires in the loom.
  12. I used the dizzy. Actually I changed nothing under the bonnet. Just plugged the Ecu in. The installation method Kieran and I came up with doesn't even involve opening the bonnet ;)
  13. Kieran thank you for talking the idea over with me. Thank you for the diagrams from your car. And thank you for lending me the ecu ( without you it never would if happened). Also thank you for answering a million questions and thank you for giving me lots of help with the start up map ;) I always forget you have an account of here. To those who don't know. Kieran is my fabricator, welder, engineer, assistant tuner and one of my best mates. He has a kick ass mr2. Which is where my megasquirt came from. More on that after

    Karl.

    Recived my item from karl. Communcation was great through out and the guy was really clear. Item was exactly as described. and although neither of us were sure of what it was worth we came to price that i was certainly happy with. Postage was quick and well priced despite the NI location. Would definately deal with again
  15. This is my cars second start on megasquirt, after a few adjustments to the fueling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWzzBb8ldnQ
  16. I always think these look good, then the back end kills it for me. Good luck with the sale though!
  17. Nah stance it, they look sick slammed
  18. Its not that bad. I drove her to japfest. And she will come out in the sumnmer, before i rip it apart over winter
  19. I'll let you know if my pistons choose not to exit through the gift shop
  20. Don't worry all. There's two spare 4eftes in my shed lol
  21. The map in that video of it idling is actually mostly as 3sgte map. Just scaled down as it was mega rich to start with
  22. I would too if I drove like you ;)
