Been another busy week so far. This week I removed the factory ignition loom, ignitor, and superspark coils. In went the 1NZ coils and loom made by Matt for me a few years ago.
Initially the car would not start, backfiring and carrying on. It was suggested it might be a firing order issue, but after checking the loom twice I was convinced I had it connected to the Haltech correctly.
I jumped feet first into the PS2000 setup page to have a look. The ignition page looked OK, but the main setup page had the firing order 1-2-3-4-5-6. Knowing the firing order is actually 1-5-3-6-2-4, I tentatively changed it in the Setup. With no small amount of trepidation I fired the car up. It started fine, but idled quite rough. By this stage I was out of ideas.
Facebook came to the rescue, with Jamie, a tuner from QLD, messaging me and helping me diagnose the issue. It seems when the Haltech was wired in the coils and injectors were wired in firing order, not cylinder order.
After pulling the loom plug apart and changing the pins to the firing order, and changing the firing order back to 1-2-3-4-5-6 in the setup menu the car started and ran fine. This was a great relief to me, but some annoyance to everyone else at 9:30pm last night.
The other thing that has kept me occupied the last few days is the installation of the new Munro Racing CT20 stage 4 highflow turbos and Kurt's custom CT20 to 1JZ manifold and piping kit. The turbos look great, and the piping kit came with everything needed to put it together apart from time.
I decide to port match the Compressor housing to Kurt's hot pipes before putting them in.
I was unable to find anyone to ceramic coat the pipes for me, so I did it myself. Not sure how good the stuff from a can will be, but it is better than nothing.
I also made up a new front pipe as my old one was just not quite perfectly lined up. I figured I had a bunch of 3 inch exhaust tubing taking up space in the corner anyway.
It is all in and running, but I have two small leaks with the oil feed lines I am using, and the OEM rubber oil return hose will not seal. Toyota are getting me a new oil return hose for $35. I am trying to sort the oil feed leaks at the moment. I cant send it to the tuners until I find a solution to that little problem.
