Re: Restoring AE86 w/ 4AGE 16v + HKS ITB + Haltech E6X

On the nose of the OEM injectors you will see a fat black rubber washer. That is the "nose insulator" and serves the dual purpose of holding the injector steady by locating in the silver recess, and insulating it from vibration/heat transfer from the head. The O-ring on the other end has t...

Re: Restoring AE86 w/ 4AGE 16v + HKS ITB + Haltech E6X

Highly recommend that you take your time on sorting this stuff out. You have got most (if not all) of the original fittings that were pulled off the engine for the HKS install. These need to be put aside as you will not be using them e.g. TVIS plate, RWD manifold etc. Looking at the pics it seems th...

Re: Auto electrician advise required please.

That is a noise suppression condensor (capacitor) and is connected between your 12V supply and ground to suppress electrical noise. It has no relationship to the ballast resistor that was riding on the back of the original coil. You should have full battery voltage (12V plus) at the coil positive. T...

Re: Wiring Gurus

Sounds like an alternator problem. Try unplugging the round plug from
the alternator and see if the fuse still blows ? If the fuse doesn't blow,
get your alternator tested, or try another one.

Re: Auto electrician advise required please.

No, the 4AGE igniter is no longer required, as its role has
been taken over by the Hyperpak unit.

Check the obvious things first...

- Hyperpack ground wires grounded ?
- Coil polarity correct ?
(positive and ground wires on correct coil terminals)

Re: Door jamb seat belt retractor thingy, what does it do?

If your seatbelts are slow to retract, try spraying the inside of the
belt with a dry silicone aerosol. Spray the length of belt that slides
over/thru the top hanger on the door pillar. The spray is non-marking
so it won't get on your clothes. Worked for me :)

Probably just the shape and positioning of the clips that hold
the ECU in place. Toyota seem to do that with things like igniters
that appear to be identical, having different numbers according
to which model car they are installed on.
