did you cover that hole on your down pipe?
Is your inter-cooler piping touching the exhaust manafold?

oh yea hanyo has a good point. If that hole isn't covered i'd guess that the hot air blowing out against the hood would make it pretty hot

didn't i say you needed to close that o2 sensor hole?
might wanna hop on that really fast

congrats on the swap man! hope you get all them minor issues sorted out asap w/o a problem

btw that IC piping up top seems pretty close to you exhaust manifold man...u might wunna move it away a lil

bboy

yeah, that pos manifold will make more heat and dosnt have a heatsheild, like the stock one. so yeah, i would imagine it gets very hot there.

can you use usendit.com to upload the videos? that site u used recompresses the vid into a pretty bad quality

ill compress the vid

if you notice both of the studs are broken on that hole, chuckys dad said he has easyouts at work so as soon as he brings those home im putting in new studs + my o2 sensor, im hoping this will resolve some of the problems.

god damn we did a good job on that intercooler piping

and no that 45 degree out of the TB does not touch the manifold, and will have even more clearance when i get the stock manifold from yungazzdriver, although i am thinking about going 90 degree out of the TB because that pipe gets real hot as it stands right now

you can keep it where it is and wrap it with exhaust wrap if you want. that will fix the problem

[font=Tahoma]so is your car still idling high?, because i have had this problem b4, check the little throttle stop thing that will stop your throttle from chokin itself out, if that is a little out, it will give you the symtoms of it idling high, and decelling slowly, if its not that, have a person turn on the car, then cover the whole throttle body, with your palm of your hand, if it still runs, you have a leek somewhere. one one car i had redone the seals, the throttle body seal was slightly different from top to bottom, i had it upsidedown, and it had a small leak, it will idle high and rev down slowly, it also stayed running with the hand over the throttle body. something to think about

i wish i was "flyen"

you know the car will still run even if you cover the throttle body with your hand....that doesn't tell you anything...if it does shut off you got a problem..
that and you know you can't touch a TB inlet on a turbocharged car...IC pipe is in the way..and go ahead and try to stick your hand into a turbo, haha that'll be fun

plus 2nd gen engine will not run without the AFM in the loop

good job bryan!! im glad everything worked out! who woulda knew you would get the car running so quick!! imma tell my boys to look at the vids asap...show them what a BEAST looks like...(the vids arent pulling up on this comp, but when we have our meet tonight i'll tell them about it!)

it ended up being the throttle cable was too tight, and was mounted a little crooked so it was too tight + leaned to the left, after installing DG's bracket and loosening the cable it idles at 1100-1200 now sounds MUCH better and most of the problems seemed to be because of it (shaking when turning the car off)

once it warms up it starts to go down to 800-900 and then i think its not getting the o2 readout so it pulls back up.

still have a power steering leak, that will be fixed tomorrow hopefully.

what temperature is the 3sgte thermostat? how much diff from the 7afe one? because my temp gauge in the car barely reads higher when its warmed up, we tested the sensor and it does work, my friends just assume its because the 3sgte has a higher temp thermostat.

lookin good

the temp gauge should sit around the middle when warmed up .


if you going to replace it, make sure u get a brand new toyota one with a new gasket.

what needs to be replaced the gauge or the thermostat?

i dont really know what your seeing... but based on what you said i guess the thermostat.

how long should it take to reach the center?

Depends when I first did my swap it took for ever for it to reach the center. Now it takes about 5 mins or so.

^^^ yap same...about 5 min or less with mine on a nice warm day. anywhere from 5-10 min when its cold out.
