Hi there I am using an old laptop (about 18 months old) running Ubuntu and XP Pro (sp2) on it. The hard drive is 500gb. The laptop is used for two things mainly. a) Music - mp3, mp4 or Video use b) Running Car diagnostic software c) Car security - Captures front, back inside car video images and als...

I may have a spare one, just need to look for it ..

Cheers

Can anyone help me please? I have just installed the standard double din head unit - model number 1669 into my car but the thing is that i cannot get any sound from the speakers at all. I have checked the trigger cable (PINK) to check for continuity and that seems OK. Also, i have checked the 12v ou...

I would start at the earth point.

Make sure your earth is good.

Otherwise you could have an issue with ur head unit. Sometimes the head unit output capacitor becomes dry .... Faulty.

The coil has not been touched but i have checked the resistances etc and its all working fine ....

Hi there
The HKS unit was just put on with out any tuning. It had come of a similar car and i thought there was no need to tune the car etc.

I have NOT checked the fuel presure yet but will be doing so.

And the air filter that i have is a after market one and i also have a decat fitted too.

Thanks

The engine rebuild has been done by me. But the engine has been checked by Rouge and its working fine. The HKS ECU piggy back equipment has been added only a few months back. The existing ECU was a remapped ECU that came with the car. However, i have tried a NON REMAPPED ECU and i still get the same...

Hi Nic... The car has just had the engine rebuilt, New piston rings, new shell bearings etc. I have also installed a HKS piggy back ECU with fuel cut off defender etc. I am NOT sure what boost the engine is running - i think it may be standard. The spark plugs are not branded (i know.. lol ) they ar...

The basics..... the spark plugs are good - clean. The ignition leads are in good condition too. So is dist etc.....

The intercooler pipes are hard..... as in they have become hard over the years and may need to be replaced etc ... BUT, no leaks etc .

Thanks

Hi there i need some advice and help on this issue that i have on my car. My Car is a mr2 turbo (mk2 - 3sgte turbo engine). The issue is that when i accelerate hard and take the revs to around 3500 - 4500 rpm plus the engine holds back. Almost like the engine dosnt want to go any faster. Example, wh...

This is the same thing that is happening to my car paint. Its starting in small patches and it can get worse. What i did was to remove the flaky laquer and then get some laquer and spray it on. Afterwards, you will have to blend it in with the paint work etc. You wont get a 100% unnoticeable finish ...

Cheers Peter

let me try to sort this out

Thanks

Hi Peter

Thank you for that.

Please let me know when you will be posting up the wiring guides etc etc ...

I do have a turbo cluster and that i can install but obviously will need to rewire from the back of the cluster etc .....

Thanks

Hi Peter I wasnt aware that the Turbo Gauge required another pcb to get it working. Thought it was a simple case of adding the gauge in to the cluster and then rewiring it, using the blue/black wire and a earth source. When the car had its engine swapped, i dont think they did a FULL change of the l...

Today i had a try at installing the turbo gauge in to my 3sge cluster. The problem was that the Blue wire and the black line on the 16 pin connector going to the ECU did not go to the cluster at all. So, for some reason the previous owner didnt get that wire to the cluster at all.... Anyways, The bl...

I was actually thinking of taking out the 3sge cluster and then removing the voltmeter. After this i will then cut the tracks where the voltage is coming to the voltmeter and then fit the turbo gauge. After this i will find out what the polarity is on the gauge for the wires to conect to. I will tes...

Hi

so does that mean that i can use that wire as a positive and use the earth as negative to make a boost gauge work ?

Obviously, i would do a trace to see how far this wire goes towards the dash.... where ever it stops i can then use an extension from there onwards....

Thanks

Hi there I have had a look at the connectors, 11, 16 & 26 pin. The image below shows the colours on the 16 pin connector that goes in to the ECU. The image is as if you were looking at the connector from the front and the wires coming in to the connector block from behind...... if that makes sen...

Hi I have heard that the toyota gauge is a bit crappy but at the end of the day i just want to install the boost gauge so i can see something rather than hearing it. As for the battery gauge.... i will be making an LED gauge to show voltage and those LEDS will be inserted in either the rev dial or s...

Yes it is a REV 2 Engine ....
