Looks the business. Nice power and torque curves. Seems right on the money for power too. I bet it must be strong just off idle, delete that dead feeling until 2800 in the factory tune. Be interested in seeing a graph with the AFR's.

Anyone have an idea what TPS voltage should be a WOT ? My V8 Soarer is reading 550 millivolts throttle closed. 3.8 V @ WOT. Does this seem about right ? I know Gloverman said it should read around 500 mV closed. I haven't had a chance to test the conversion car yet, but will be keen to see...

Hello Gloverman, Thanks for the information, really appreciated. Can get a bit mind boggling on your own. On the earthing issue, I did add another earth lead to the engine, one from the cylinder head, and it now has two from the block to the chassis. At one point the engine wouldn't even turn...

Just occured to me tonight. Do you need to ground the ecu's by bolting them down with 1uz conversions ? I recall you saying that you had a grounding issue with AFM and had similar problems to mine. Wondering if I need to add extra grounds to the ecu, currently just supported by a bonnet release...

Looks good Gloverman. How did the car respond to the standalone ? I really need a scan tool for tuning and setup purposes it appears. Would be very useful. I use an Efilive device on my VE SS and that works really well. Can you recommend a scan tool that would be good to get. I'm assuming I...

Haha I bet. Yeah the AC delco ecus are pretty good I here. Having the ability to retune the factory ecu on Holdens is great, I wish it was the same for the Lexus. Just as reference the factory adjustment only mentions resistance to be measured an not a volts for the TPS. Do you just set the 500...

Ok will have a go, have set them up previously according to the factory specs ?? But I know they were very touchy to set up. After re reading Sideshows posts I'm thinking I should check all this again. Are the TPS sensors reliable ? Worth replacing ? Thanks Gloverman, wish you were in Aus for...

Just had a quick look through This thread again. Can anyone describe how I would adjust the TPS so the car believes it is only getting 80 percent throttle and not 100 percent. What voltage do I need to aim for ? This might be a simple fix to pull fuel out, from the fuel dump that Occurs at 100...

Ignitors do die from time to time, with no warning, have you tried that ? Have you actually replaced the coils ? It's unlikely to be a lead or plug issue. You can easily check for spark either way.

Excellent, I have installed several SAFC over the years, they are a great unit when tuned correctly.

I'm pretty sure I have the full ecu pinouts of your car at home. By the time I get it you will possibly already have fixed it though.

IGF wires that run into the ecu. Apexi lists your car and correct pin outs, did you check the manual ?

Increased crankcase pressure ? I know a lot of the 2j and 1j guys do this on the single conversions, high boost seems to be problematic for the pcv.

Hello everyone, Just wanting to know if anyone else has removed the standard PCV valve and hose. Placed a bung in the manifold, and a small filter on the cam cover outlet. I have done this with previous engines, normally to simplify engines of their normal array of hoses. Any issues...

Your just getting old Jim. Soarers are very well built cars, built like tanks, there are just alot of rough ones around, goes with anything of similar vintage nowadays. Be interested to see how that one comes up Kelvin. From memory the 1uz conversion I did was dipping into the 11's at full...

Is it a fairly stock engine ? have you tuned any of the Apexi gear on 1u's before. Apparently some people have been getting good results with the Super AFC's

what ecu are using to tune with Gloverman ? I also have a spare Mines ecu, but feel that runs even richer mixtures again, might be nice coupled with a fuel trim.

Sideshow, I was thinking about what you were saying with the fat fuel mixtures after 80 % throttle. A few years back I had the 1uzfe soarer on the Dyno. We found a similar story and end up pulling about 5 - 19 % fuel from the table after about 60 % throttle. Now the easiest and cheapest way to...

Just realised this is for a vvti, so ignore my post above, have never worked on one.

Doesn't have to be North side. That was just an idea. I wish it was a Haltech, but I settled for an emanage ultimate. Having said that I have found them to be very user friendly and trouble free once set up correctly.
