    Crown ECU /Fuel Pump Question

    LOL.... I always wondered what that thing was for, now I know. I'll have to go fish it out of the box in my shed full of all the other left over stuff. All I did was hook my fuel pump up to the acc witch works fine. But at idle it's still at 12v witch is a bit noisy.

    HP gains by passing TB coolant line?

    I found my plenum (that bit where the lexus or toyota badge is) would get dam hot. Say after 30 min of driving. So I pulled of the TB to clean it and while I was there I by-passed the coolant line. Now, drive around as long as I want and the plenum is cold to touch. ok.. ok.. not cold but a...

    Yep, I've never seen one of them in my crown. Fuel pump get's 12v as soon as I turn the key. Come to think of it I don't even know where the wires are for the original pump, I just ran off the ACC

    All parts considered for a turbo...

    Does twin turbo give you lower intake temps? It always seems to me that twin turbo setups make more power on the same motor a single would. And NO Im not talking about huge oversized turbos on drag cars, im thing of street use with low rpm boost like Lex's

    Engine build up

    You can easley notice the difference at low speed and light throttle, At full throttle the shifts are now quick and clean and I'd guess are about a second quicker. as for getting up to speed Im not sure, I'd say thats more in the toruqe converter witch is my next mod. I've heard it's one of...

    Engine build up

    Hey Elliot, I installed thoes shims over the weekend. Got it running tonight and went for a drive. Not bad but I have to say with 8mm shims I thought it would shift a lot harded. It does shift quick but It'll never chirp the tyres. (on standard engine). I thought 8mm shims would almost be dash...
