3sgte Post Swap Starter Problem Solved, She's Alllive! Options

[Chanh55]

As some of you know I took the 3sgte set up from a working 6gc (originally manual) and swapped it into my 6g (automatic). When the wiring harness was made, it was intended for a manual and not for an automatic transmission. For those of you that have automatic transmissions and want to do a 3sgte + manual tranny swap, this is for you.

So after calling Dr. Tweak, he suggested the following:

"Near the ECU, there is the II2 connector, and on pin 18 of the car's connector side, you'll find a black wire with a yellow stripe. That wire needs to be connected to a black wire that comes from pin 2 of the starter relay, you can probably find this wire by looking under the relay box and/or using the ohm-meter. Once those two wires are connected, it should start. "

Here's what I did: tapped into the black/yellow wire (car side) and ran it to the ST relay in the fuse box. Instead of taking the fuse out, I tapped into the wire that is connected to pin 2 of the relay which was a black wire.

Now she lives... but 2 problems.

1. I don't have a mid/ flex pipe yet, so it's freaking loud... I'm talking setting off car alarms across the street loud.
2. As soon as the key hits the "ON" position, something is making a rather loud "ZzZZZZ" sound. I suspect the starter... maybe a relay or something isn't doing it's job.

are you going to ask to have this thread deleted too?

1. go to the ehxuast shop and have them mate up the exhaust for you, or totally redo it to a nice 3in

2. the noise you hear is probably coming from your whinebro fuel pump. get used to it, or get an OEM supra pump

No I'm not going to delete this thread...

1. I will get the exhaust done soon, for sure. But I'm probably going to go with 2.5in so I can use my SP2

2. Would the noise be coming from my engine bay? I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't have tapped into the relay wire but instead wire it directly to PIN2 of the "ST" Relay.
