So ... I finally got around to fixing that WP leak and yeah, that o-ring behind the waterpump had snapped. I also learned that taking the timing cover off the engine makes putting on the waterpump sooooooo much easier Lol. I had a busy winter break with some trips out west so that took up all my tim...

Dude this is sick!

Post up more pictures!!

bump. I'm starting a new band. Very 80s "post-punk" style if you're into that kind of thing ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTnGShJuGqU https://northernfields.bandcamp.com/ https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4839/32350556408_cd324a5134_b.jpg (And yes, that is a te72 getting sideways as the ...

Subscribed! Welcome to the forum!

Yea the old megasquirt used the distributor signals so i couldnt understand why it wouldnt work with the speeduino. I have a buddy who is interested in trying to build one of these with a blacktop 20v. I will probably help him out with it and post my findings here. Assuming you want to use the stoc...

Lights washed out with flash https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1947/45623622062_06be2f97a9_c.jpg No flash https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4912/44760108245_a6f2878537_c.jpg With parking lights and obviously no flash. It looks soooo good with green https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1975/45623621172_e3d93139...

Crank signal's well covered with the Squirt crowd. Agree 100% on going cop. Grab some off a k series honda or lsx at a pick and pull. Well documented and durable. Might be someone local that would let you borrow a jimstim. Check their forums. ^_^ I'm fairly stoked you're progressing. I'd honestly r...

You have a couple of options to get that square wave signal. Easiest would be to go to the junkyard and pick a crank sensor off a 90s ford equipped with EDIS. Then you would need a trigger wheel, i used the one from T3 cause it bolts right on to their crank pulley. Make sure you use shielded wiring...

Price is definitely right for screwing around with a car you'll never get your money back out of. Lol you got that right! And also cheap enough to where if I mess up, no big deal. Right now I'm saving up for a JimStim before I buy all the speeduino parts so I can do as much bench testing as possibl...

Thats wild.

Although this is a pretty old video, its still one of my favorites.

There's a few good roads like that where I live, but my car leaks too much coolant to beat on it

Yeah I'm with Aukword. I think your best bet would be finding a smaller final drive. Surely there's an option out there for the fwd/mr2 guys out there. I know all the b-series honda dudes would swap the 5th gear out of LS integras since they're longer, but idk what thats like for the fwd 4age guys.

I like the way that sounds

I really think I'm going to do it sometime in the near future. I'm poor, and like aukword1 said, it sounds like fun and good experience.

If this were available when I was a broke-a$$ engineering student, I'd be all over it; Low risk/high reward. On a stock 16v? I took a few Mechatronics classes that used a BASIC Stamp when I was in school. I had to build a robot that could handle a bunch of different obstacle courses. For the last t...

Dude!! Nice!!

Side note, I bet that was an awesome experience going over to the JDM Legends shop and meeting the guys.

Has anyone ever heard of this? https://speeduino.com/wiki/index.php/Speeduino Hardware / feature list https://speeduino.com/wiki/index.php/Overview The arduino mega by itself is a pretty powerful micro-controller, and its all open-source so its easy to write code and upload it to the board. I see th...

The Fujitsubo doesn't seem to state it can work with 20v since the bolt alignment is a bit different The SMR2U looks good, but same issue as Fujitsubo, spend this kind of money want it to just fit. Battle Garage is interseting, but it says "pre-order" kind of dont want to have to wait mon...

Ughh ... I would love to have that header. Or any TODA 4age parts for that matter, but there's no way I can afford them Lol. Fujitsubo has a good header, but I would imagine the real issue would be finding someone to buy/ship it for you. https://www.fujitsubo.co.jp/prods/detail/000000000000001159/00...

You're so close!!!!!!

Drive with nosie canceling Headphone cause that dam straight pipe is wayy to loud for the freeway Lol Yooo ... do you have any sound clips? Lol. I'm considering getting a custom exhaust made, basically straight piped but with two resonators so its not raspy, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Th...

Back in the game!! Hell yeah!

I use flickr for all my photo hosting.

Utah https://i.imgur.com/t1p82QD.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/46PWwUv.jpg?1 So jealous of that trip. This past May my buddy moved to Las Vegas for the Air Force. Rather than shipping his second vehicle I just drove it for him since I had time off with the semester being over. He drove his Acura TL, an...

You guys are awesome.

Looks like I have a few more things to add to the "to-do" list.

Thanks for the replies! The plugs and timing belt are new, I replaced all that stuff this past winter and have put maybe 5k miles on the car since then. I verified it was all in time too before I put it all back together. My car is jdm so I don't have a AFM sensor either. The hesitations happened be...

For the past few months I've noticed my AE86 has a hesitation at low RPMS. It only occurs during initial acceleration, for example taking off in 1st gear from a stop light. I would press the accelerator and it would hesitate until about 3k and then take off. I tried looking up to see if it was a com...

So sick dude!! You're almost there!! Side note, can you clarify a bit on the drive belt problem? Was it too short even with the alternator as short as it will go? Were you using an OEM Toyota belt or aftermarket? I know when I replaced my belt(s) last year, I had to make several trips to the parts s...

Solid machine, old top. And that interior never gets old. Lovely.
You are living the 8-6 life.

Dude! Thank you for the kind words!

The 8-6 life is the best life Lol.

Yeah ... Still haven't fixed anything Lol. Its too nice outside to put her under the knife. Although I did get a cool horn button off of a fellow forum member? Ended up having to get a little adaptor off amazon to make it work. Anyways, here's some eye candy. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1776/4332...

Update?!?!? Whats going on?!?!?

Threads like this are what make the internet so f*cking cool. I always find it interesting to read the build threads of those from different parts of the globe.

Welcome to the forum! Definitely looking forward to seeing your progress!

Kind of a random question, but does anyone here have old school touge style or drifting footage they'd be willing to let me use for a music video? I'm starting a new little indie rock band and currently recording its first single. The idea comes from videos similar to this, but with better music Lol...
