After wanting to set it on fire few times, yeah it's a good feeling.


Have some mysterious coolant leak that I need to find. And I need to bleed the power steering as well then add the fenders, headlights, hood and bumper and button up the interior.

Thanks man. I'm gonna get it remote tune with a tuner from Florida. Same guy that was tuning me before.


I don't have a coolant leak thankfully but I have no power steering. I tried to bleed it and no luck. I'm suspecting bad pump

I have to look for my spare one, i should have one from my last part out

Nice!!!

Doing more work.

Changing up the upper radiator hose.




Also test fitted ets short route uicp and I need a longer coupler in the middle to make it fit. Also since I'm not able to get the tial flange properly welded on there, I ended up ordering an adapter





That previous mysterious coolant leak is back and I found out it was my heater core. Yay me!



So just bypassed the heater core for now.


Still fighting power steering. Gonna completely flush the system out from the old fluid and replace it with new fluid. Feed hose from reservoir to pump is leaking so ordered push-lock fittings and line to replace the braided line.

small update:

heater core bypassed.

tuner worked on the car more, found out my front o2 sensor is bad, replaced it and retuned again. idles better and drives better (just drove it down the street) still leans out a bit and sputters.

upper radiator hose is done just waiting for t-bolt clamps for it.

Moroso battery box is installed in the trunk, just need to finish the wiring for the battery.

power steering magically bled itself, just need to replace feed hose and flush the old fluid out since its pink which means there is water in the system or massive condensation.

UICP will be installed soon with a Tial adapter for now until im able to properly weld the Tial flange on there

Need to somehow squeeze an intake on the turbo with this fan in the way so i dont suck all the hot air from the fan. Evo fan is SO MUCH better than that stupid universal fan i had on there. i will test it for sure on a hot day driving it. temps at idle is around 200F

Current status of the engine bay. Trimmed the catch can lines to proper length. Ets short route uicp installed, and intake and filter (not too happy about placement of it), mounted oil cooler and made lines for it.

Had major issues leaning out. Changed tunes and changed roms and still no luck. Starting poking around and found out my COP harness which failed to lock in the pins, so it barely plugged in and it caused for bad spark which caused the ecu to pull fuel and lean it out.

Wastegate is stuck open. Need to fix that. Adjust my clutch pedal and button her up and drive it.

my final conclusion is that i may have a wiring issue,*

i swapped another set of Toyota denso coils and it didnt make a difference. i changed back to stock coils and the car great. so now i needed to extend the passenger side coil wire to reach the coil properly.*

after extending it and taping the wire back together, started the car and it did the same thing. undid the tape and started it and started wiggling wires around to see if i can cause it to do what it did before and nothing happened. taped the harness again and tested it and she ran fine.*

tested my COP harness for continuity on all pins and they are all fine. so im convinced that my ignition harness has a problem somewhere and i need to pull it all out and remove the tape and inspect it.

My thought is they to small? Do they get hot?

Idk but I know all the people that made COP harness used this and gauge. Stock ignition wires are same gauge except one wire

Sorry was busy at work. Ok. I will use a 16 and even a 14 with cooper wires. Not the chrome looking ones. Is ok for factory to use tht but i will upgrade for cop. U already have them out give it a shot. And not codes on ecu?

I would have to remake the entire harness with brand new connectors since I can't just unpin those current ones.
