"Parmas" Motor

[Parmas]

The display is cool but now I am not in the mood for more expenses.

If the engine reacts well with the combined ecu I will sure invest more on the car.... if not ( and prays god nooo) I have to sell the engine and go back to stock.

parmas don't give up yet, garm and i and lots of other people have been getting positive outcomes with the 1nz-fe engine.

we're here to help and share if you ever need anything man!

I appreciate this comment. People like you make me struggle for success

Holly heat wrap batman. That looks like an awsome project. Sweet display.

Today changed engine oil and coolant and installed the "NEW" Teflon braided pipe for the turbo water line. Also all in cabin wiring is finished and arranged it like it never been there .

During the turbo water line installation I came to notice that the idle control on the throttle body has the coolant pipes missing (In and Out). Then I understood that these were being used to feed coolant to the turbo from the beginning. So I ask are these essentially needed for the idle control to work fine also since I changed the engine management? What are the consequences of these removed?

Also I need to know some information on the Idle control like frequency and normal operating conditions. I attached a screenshot of the page of the ecu software to set this up

I know I'm not using those on my TB

Today I tried to start the engine but it seems there is something blocking the startup since it is stopping cranking after only few seconds.

I tried to increase fuel on the rpm range but still no start. After I came across this describtion of the starter on the manual and it says :

"IN CASE THAT THE STARTER BEGINS TO OPERATE, BUT CANNOT DETECT THE ENGINE SPEED SIGNAL, THE ECM WILL STOP THE STARTER OPERATION IMMEDIATELY"

Then I began to think that since I am operating the starter through the stock toyota ecu and I disconnected the engine speed signal (which is the Crank Trigger Sensor) and connected it to the Haltech Ecu, the stock ecu is surely not detecting the crank trigger and is probably stopping startup. I am not sure about this but it could be plausable.

Now I decided to eliminate the starter by using an external relay and a push button.

Although I am not sure about this so Garm or any other that has changed their ecu should tell if this is true or not.

Here is the current setup

I would like the experts to confirm with me about the Triggering of the engine in relation to Camshaft position.

Main needs are:

1. Trigger Angle

2. Tooth Offset between crank trigger and camshaft trigger

3. Trigger / Home Edge

[Parmas]

All is ready and prepared for the dyno tune. It is scheduled to be within the next week so cross hands all goes well to jump to some nice numbers.

I think I finally earned this after 2 years owning the engine it has not passed 500miles on it!

The only thing remaining is putting on the bumper in place and we are ready to go.

Looks good. All Business.

[changchewsoon]

time to make some serious power parmas, can't wait to see the numbers on the dyno!

[cali yaris]

CLEAN - you are ready!

Car was brought to the tuning facility for tuning.

For a change we had trouble keeping the engine on idle and was misfiring as hell. The tuner said that probably it is something related to the camshafts \ VVti activation position etc...

We brought another standard engine to compare values of crank triggering versus camshaft positions etc... which are still working on it.

Tomorrow will check the intake manifold and throttle body for leaks just in case. Also need to change the oil turbo feed line since the tuner said it is too wide than normal condtions.

I would like to know what happens to the camshaft position if you disconnect the Cam timing plug (near the alternator) . Would it become fully retarded or fully advanced or a certain degree?

This answer will help the tuner much with his issues!

[Bluevitz-rs]

^ unplugging the VVTi solenoid leaves the cam at 0°. So no advance.

Parmas,

That haltech digital dash is absolutely stunning.

I saw one of these in a rally car the other day and figured I would never be able to have anything nearly as cool as that in my car so seeing it in front of your dash has made me really excited to start working on my engine once the funds become available.

Keep going strong man we're rooting for you.

I agree with you on the digital dash although you missed that was only an opinion of changchewsoon. I don't own it at this time.

[cali yaris]

^ Me neither but I would like to do a digital dash, right in front of me (where it belongs? LOL), someday.
