Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Nice Rob I have the same exhaust an no issues with my set up Rob, so you will be all good JohnIt wont cause a problem as such but it causes a HOT spot in the exhaust system, thats one of the hottest places in the exhaust after the turbo, we did quite a lot of tests on the dyno with with mine and found even a slip joint in the exhaust can make a difference in flow and EGT temps. I was trying to be helpful not criticize in any way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rob_bower Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 quick update before bed,was off today so i craccked on and got a few more jobs ticked off.first job a refurb on the other hub so i stripped it off and have it a good wire brushing, and a llick of hammerite.then time for some new dot4 clutch fluid as the old stiff left in the master cylinder was a bit manky...then refitted the nearside hub and drive shaft and filled up the gearbox with some nice new castrol taf manual box oil.Then seen as i had the the camera to hand i took few random snaps.just needs a oil return, some oil and some coolant then it should be ready to try and fire it up.Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bildo Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I fucking love this.With the exception of the fact that the words 'sleeper' and 'HDi intercooler' do not go well together in a sentence.Otherwise, top work.Also, clean that fucking Toyota badge up, it looks disgraceful.

Yea some proper butchering. Might have to try something a bit different to give a bit more clearance. Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rob_bower Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 Right then had a few hours on it today sorting a few electrical issues out, after trying to connect the battery other day i had a whirring coming from the strarter mototr and the + battery terminal was overheating and smoking. After looking at the starter motor i realised when id stripped it down to clean it up id bolted it back together with the solenoid on back to front so it was getting a constant live feed. So issue one resolved. Score!Issue 2, the smoking battery was a little more involved after trying the process fo elimination game i had drawna a blank. the while trying the less obvious things i spotted 2 wires which i had presumed were large eaths it appears they werent, they were the 2 live feeds that bolted in to the glanza fuse box, seen as im still running the n/a fuse box this caused a slight issue, so it was a case extending the wires and adding on the na plugs for the same wires. Score 2 issue resolved, battery connected up and no smoke.New issue, after all this i tried the ignition 2 of the dash lights come on, the front lights dont work, the side repeaters come on when you switch the headlights on and when you flash the main beam these go off and the front and rear indicators flash. lol the good news is that the central locking works, wipers work, electric windows work but nothing when you turn the key to ignition time to start the process of elimination again but once thats done i just need to sort the oil return and then i can fill the oil up and try and start it.even the monster didnt help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbo Moorley Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Check wiring to the ignition barrel and fuse box Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) Just thinking have you got all your earths on. Sounds like you are back feeding the lights. Almost like you have lost the main earth to the relays in the fues box. You should have some earths round by the coolant overflow bottle if I remember right. And down behind the plastics on the passenger side foot well on the left. One up buy the ecu I think. Can't remember them all Edited October 11, 2012 by turbo Grant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 I'll back track and check them all again next time Im off the ones I can remember are one behind each headlight, one on the gearbox, one on the engine mount, one in each footwell and one or 2 behind the dash. Should have bought a v Quote Link to post Share on other sites
