i solved the shifter cables by trying to move the cable to the side with this...
13FAB43F  and then covering with shielding covers.. up to 3000 heat... 3CC7C988  forgot to include this in the rest of the swap. and this would cover the swap. and stuff.....

I think if it gets to 3,000 degrees you have other issues to worry about.

That's all torque from the word go. A lot of the custom wiring could be tamed by running a stand alone ECM with a much simpler throttle and ignition setup. I know that the Toyota ECM is heavily integrated into all the cars systems and will probably never run without a bunch of stored codes in this car, whether or not that will affect performance I can't say.

It does have codes looking for a transmission, but it doesnt affect power. All I can say is the 2gr in the corolla chassis surprised a lot of people. It never changed the handling from the beams 3s, its only problem is you need 225 or more up front. Even then with a bit more throttle on corner exit and it will fwd power slide/understeer in the direction of trajectory. |

lol,
so finally, took the car for test drive. And the car is now a monster. Fun, and torque is plenty. I have 225 on the front... As far as codes, well this particular one has the usual codes for the transmission, and the evap system... Plus --->the Battery light is on. I have double checked my alternator connections, and unfortunately cannot take it to get it checked at autozone, until i get car aligned. Only extra error code i get on the scanner is the P0705 transmission range sensor circuit (PRNDL), which i thought it could have been related, since they both get powered by same fuse.. but the speedometer is also powered by the same fuse and its working all the time... But the car does not run like crap... runs fine.. Well minus the power steering, as it bogs down when i move the wheel. I tought there might have been provision for power steering in the ECU, but not. At any rate, the car is fun to drive, and needs alignment. The clutch sucks, being new, and the shifting is hard. other than that. Cool Beans!!!! -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

i was going to drive it today more, and punch it when i was told I had to go to work. I had forgotten. LOL. I have video, but not worthy of posting. Once i get something good, Ill post it...
I have to solve a few issues. I dont like the clutch, and the fact the engine bogs with the PS. So I have to evaluate in the future to do electric pump from spyder. The shifter cables are hard, because of them being pulled akward to avoid hitting the header... The Battery light is driving me nuts... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

one thing that gets me puzzled, is the fans have not turned on. The engine temp is stable. of course i have no input from ECU, but the temp signal should still trigger a fan, i have to see the books again. just to be safe...

im fairly certain the beams tacho is misreading the V6 signal, either doubling up, or something. So I ordered a bluetooth obd2 adapter to see whats going on. But yes, its a beast... Only problem is 1st gear is just a hologram. jesus, only 2 seconds in 1st and i have to shift.
