Figure it out yet? I found that some of the connector locks near ecu don't hold so well. It is possible that one has slid apart and is only making partial contact.

I haven't had time to check it out yet this weekend. I'll dig into it soon. I figure I must have had a loose wire somewhere or something pull out when I was yanking out the stereo.
maybe you unseated your eprom cable to the ostrich. Or your ostrich cable is rubbing against the ecu case and caused a short.
This actually happened to me and caused the exact symptoms you are having. Anyways, ya... seems like an ostrich problem.
You were dead on. My Ostrich cable had gotten cut on the red wire and the code in it got scrambled. When I plugged my laptop in, Jackal didn't even recognize what was on it. I cut the ribbon cable shorter, rewired it to the socket and reloaded my tune. I also cleaned up some stuff while I had everything unplugged. I've got the ECU and harness back in and she fired right up. Boy is that a HUGE relief. I'll be leaving the dash apart so I can get my computer installed though.Quote:

The screen is 8" and is touch. The panel below has two momentary switches, one tied to the power button on the monitor, the other to the laptop stashed under my seat. The LED to the right of the laptop power button is, surprisingly enough, the power light for the laptop. Below is a USB port and an on/off switch for my 4 way amplifier. I've got a microphone routed up the driver's a-pillar. Right now it is just hanging out the top. I'll mount it better if I like the sound at that location.
Unfortunately I was tired and not thinking clearly when I glued the switch panel in behind the ashtray cover and I got adhesive on the visible areas. That is the mess you can see. Since I used PVC adhesive it softened the plastic and cleaning it left everything scratched up and nasty. I'll have to sand it and paint it or get a new piece from the junk yard and do it over again if I want it to look better.
Sweet. Lol yeah it happened to me right in the middle of a 4 lane highway leaving my car dead in the right lane of a 4 lane road, under a railroad overpass at the bottom of a hill on a blind curve.......Quote:

Anyways I got lucky and a cop came and directed traffic around me until i could get a rollback to tow me. I thought I was gooing to be dunzo.
Carputer looks good. I want one of those really bad. or a tablet that i can mount right there.
so can you use the 6 bolt dsm 4g63t with a 2g trans? i would like to stick with my 6 bolt instead of using the 7? ik i would have to change the drivers mount just needed info on the trans bolting up fine?
you can use any 4g64 or 63 or g4cs etc as long as you use the correct flywheel like a 6 bolt with a 2g awd tranny would use a 6 bolt awd flywheel and a 6 bolt for fwd would use a 6 bolt fwd flywheel.
swapping to a 6 bolt would be worth it for instant results but shaving the mount and water pump annoys me. build another 64 dohc and direct drop in and walk away, you would be doing the same rewiring anyway.
Modifying the mount is easy and that's all you have to do.
thanks guys for the info. is there anyone on this site who could do my harness for me? im not big into wirring but if i had to do it im sure i could pull out some smarts. someone wanna make some money lol? p.s sorry for jacking on this thread man
Your harness will depend on which ECU you run and what year your G is. There are threads to help with several combinations. I doubt anyone will build a harness for you since troubleshooting problems would be a pain without being there. If you've read this thread you saw the trouble I went through building mine.
You can stop thread jacking and hit up one of those threads now :002:
I just finish reading the build. It is very inspiring. Especially for anyone wanting an Evo on the cheap. Keep up the great progress.
Thanks :) Progress has been made this summer, I just haven't been updating. I've replaced the rear bushings with urethane and done some work on the front end to clean it up. The t-bar is now straightened and painted and the expanded steel is gone from the bumper cover. I also ditched the crappy AN fittings on the oil return and switched to good quality JIC fittings with silicone hose. Mostly it is just maintenance these days though. :(
to start i know this hasnt been used in along while,but a friend of mine told me of this site and this fourm to help me with my build 94es 4g63 5 speed swap and im in the wireing now about finished, but this has been alot of help, i need to get on here more often! really like your 7g sweet build
Wow, can't believe this thread has been cold for so long.
Thanks, glad it is helping you with your build.
I was just thinking it had been cold for a long time too. I've been busy. I'm working on my engineering degree and really in the thick of it. I'm down to the last few weeks of the semester now and will get back to the car a bit this summer.
I've done a few minor things to the car like removing all the steel mesh from the front bumper (it looks way better without it) and I've been fighting with a leaky valve cover. It keeps pushing oil out the bolt holes no matter what I do to fix it. I'm going to try another new gasket and more RTV in a few weeks to see if that gets rid of the leak.
IF I have time this summer I'm toying with making some braces for the front suspension and I'll make the bushings I need to install my rear Tein spring perches. I'll also see about getting the car to a real track for some fun.
Wow this is truly an inspiration for me. Congrats on the awd conversion!
Those who have followed this have probably noticed I am loathe to spend much on appearance mods when there are performance mods to be made but I have been wanting one of these for a while so I picked it up at the salvage yard.
http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...sh/spoiler.jpg
It was black but I sanded and painted it then got it installed.
I also found these for $50. They are out of a mid-late 90's Celica.
http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...ipsh/seats.jpg
The driver's seat has some wear on one bolster but they'll sit a lot lower in the car if I install them right and they are much more supportive. I'll likely reupholster them before they go in. If I do that I'll probably also do the rear seats so it is a complete package. I'll just have to learn how to do it :P
The front bumper is patched, sanded and awaiting paint. I should get it done next Friday.

i absolutely love the oil cooler placement .....howd yu run the lines ? and would yu please post ap ic of yur driver side mount for me thanks truly an inspiration
Thanks. The cooler is for the power steering, not the oil (pulled the factory PS cooler when installing the FMIC). It is just the auto trans cooler reused. I ran the lines from the reservoir then into the pump feed. The driver's side motor mount is just the stock 2g mount, nothing special. I'm using the factory 2.4 L 7-bolt block. In the past I was using a 7 bolt 4G63 out of a 2G Talon which uses the same mounts. You sent me a PM about the 6 bolt mounting. I don't know the answer. It has been done a million times though. Go do a search on DSM Tuners or on here.
Side note: I had to spend a minute trying to figure out what you were actually asking. I almost didn't answer your question because of the way it was written. Please use full words. It makes everyone's life easier. I'm not saying this to be a dick but it is a pet peeve of mine and really gets my hackles up.
To fit the 6 bolt into a 7 bolt car you hav to trim the stock 2g mount to clear the 6 bolt water pump and then it bolts up normally
I used to have my oil cooler over there when I had my Black GS. Once I put the diamond edition bumper on the white GS I had to move it up and over behind the grill inserts under the header panel.
I probably ought to get a small cooler for my power steering and mount it where eclipsh mounted his. Mine had been looped off for years.

Can't wait to see your ride all shined up!
Just white primer right now. Found a few spots that need more sanding.

car looks good. need more vids!!!!
needs a lip!
I agree. If I can find one dirt cheap I'll put it on but I've already spent more on my car in the last month than I should have. Any suggestions on where to get a cheap lip that looks good?Quote:

A few updates. I added a pair of these lights in the rear.

They are out of my parents 2004 Jetta that got crushed by a tree.
I also did more work on the bumper.

I like the lights eclipsh!! The bumper is turning out to be a one a kind as well :)
Thanks again for the help man, I got that stuff figured out :)
Finally got the modifications and paint on the bumper done so I took some crappy cell phone pictures as soon as I bolted it up.

Heh, I noticed with that lighting it looks like the big opening is all skewed like the car is making a face. It isn't. The opening is all nice and even.
Also, yes the rest of the car is dirty and has stone chips. The whole thing desperately needs a paint job but likely won't get it any time soon.

I just don't understand how your paint got so chipped up... Its like someone drifted it in gravel....... .. . . ... .. . . .. . ....... ... . . . dot dot dot....Quote:

Looks sick BTW. Gonna get some world spec or JDM heads to get your full turn signal functionality back?
LOL, that looks a lot like my car for some reason.
Thanks for the compliment. I am really happy with the center section. I was thinking it looks like earlier model Evos.
The paint has looked like crap since I got it. The clear coat is peeling really bad.
I moved the tun signals up into the headlights. They are in the clear section right next to the amber corners. I took the lights apart and used a dremel to open the housings up to fit a standard amber turn bulb and then cut notches so the light base could be turned to lock into place. Then I moved the marker lights over into the amber section and called it good.
putting some JDM head lights would clean it up and the corners are designed to be signals on them. I know you probably dont want to spend the money on them but they would look good on the car.
I just realized I never got around to posting a better photo of my front end.

This summer I also redid my engine harness to clean it up and, just recently, fixed my cruise control wiring so it works. Turns out I needed to wire in a different sensor for the clutch pedal. Just did that yesterday and I'm stoked to have the cruise control. I've been using it everywhere just because I can.
I also installed a pair of 6th gen Celica seats up front. They are way more supportive than the stock seats, still comfy, sit me about 3" lower and cost $50 at the salvage yard. They aren't a match to the rear seats but if I have lots of extra time someday I'll redo everything (never gonna happen). I'll get pics of them up sometime soon. Lots of custom work to make them fit. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone inexperienced.
Also, I need to break out my real camera instead of my cell, wash the car and snap some better pictures :P
I wanna see the SEATS! LOL...i need to replace my fronts with something lighter...
The Celica seats are way lighter, probably about half the weight of the stock ones. The install was rough though. The driver's seat still isn't quite where I want it. I'll get some photos soon with a real camera.
Sweet. Car is looking much better these days!
I think Seth has some celica seats in his old silver car.
I'm pretty impressed that you figured out the cruise control. I never could so I just deleted the whole system in favor of a 95s non-cruise throttle cable. Which I think makes road trips much longer lol.
