Sorry all, I have had no time. Long story...couple different jobs, now I am finally back to working on the car. The only thing I am missing is an axle seal for the tranny. I am going to try an ST185. I have tried for a couple months to get one from Europe with no luck. If any of our overseas Brothers (or Sisters) wouldn't mind giving me a hand, I would be happy to pay through paypal to have one shipped over.
The status of the project is that I think I bit off more than I could chew...at least at once. Ran into a snag with the wiring. I got a short in the body harness and it fried all the way into the jacks inside the car. That took some time to re-run. Actually got a harness from Supra (sorry can't remeber the guys name on here) and re-ran it and re-spliced the changes for the conversion. The AWD conversion is done except I had a bad axle seal from the shipment that won't seal in the GT4 tranny due damaged along the way. It actually runs (badly) and all moving parts of the drivetrain work correctly. I will video next time I have it running. It runs badly because I also upgraded the injectors and am upgrading the turbo at the same time. I have had a lot of help on this conversion and unfortunately we all haven't been able to hook up to finish. I have also figured out that, I need to adjust my wiring to allow for the second stage of the fuel pump to kick in through the relay. I currently have it wired to immediately run at the second or high speed. The engine is getting too much fuel with the fuel pump the way it is and the bigger injectors. I will go through and try and update the pictures or the links. After the engine is complete, I will then have to focus on re-wiring the car's interior. I had a guy wire up the security system and the stereo, and he did a hack job. Had to pull everything out and practically start over. Botttomline is that I have had some set backs, but hopefully I can get some help and keep moving forward. I would like to be done by the time TORC comes up. |
