Been doing a lot of planning and research in preparation for the install and I have to say this transmission, Turbolamik ECU and TunerPro software are impressive. The internals are built for purpose, and I can see why its rated at 700Nm. No brake bands or one-way clutches to burn up, at least 5...

I finally got the car out to the drags last week, but the rain came down right before racing started and the meet was called off. Entrants were invited back to race this week at no charge, so I headed out this afternoon. It's been a long time since I've drag raced and the day wasn't without its...

Cheap | reliable | powerful Hot | crazy | smart Cars are more like women than you know! You can only have two without sacrificing one. I'm a bit biased when it comes to parts, as I have used the same brands for some time. Turbosmart FPR + Haltech ECU (the Haltech can run your transmission as...

Hi Sumo, Maybe thick rods, maybe not - if your car is a MY95 but was built in late 1994, it may have the new engine which means thinner rods. If you want a supercharger to deliver reliable power, I recommend a standalone ECU. Yes, it has been done on the stock ECU but personally I wouldn't...

The installation hardware arrived today, and pictures don't do this stuff justice. The quality is exceptional and it's a shame it will be sandwiched between the engine and gearbox, out of sight.

I've reached a crossroad with my car where I'm considering building a forged engine and swapping out the little single turbo for a pair of decent twins. The A340 would not handle this very well - as it's already starting to slip under heavy throttle and boost. Rebuilding an A340 to handle...

Nice car! Depending on where you look, the internet generally says a 2.5" single exhaust will flow around 300 hp at the crank. Given your engine makes 275hp in standard form, 2.5" seems about right. Going to a larger exhaust will be necessary if you're pushing the power further, but the...

To chase down parasitic current draw: - switch the ignition off and remove the key - disconnect your negative battery terminal - Set your multi meter to AMPS and place it between the negative battery terminal and the cable An acceptable level of parasitic current draw is around 20 to 50 mA If...

With the timing belt corrcetion, you dont need to pull it all apart Just make sure whatever you put under the belt doesn't drop down into the timing covers

If you disconnect the wiring connector from the transmission, you should still be able to engage gears - the manual shift valve is connected to your gear shifter inside the car via a control rod. This test isolates the electrical system as a cause P = P R = R D = Overdrive Gear 2 = 3rd Gear 1 =...

Hi Frank, From the sounds of it, you have an internal failure. If you can select reverse, then there is oil pressure to some extent, and the gear selector mechanism is working. Probably wouldn't hurt to check both though. Dip the oil to check the level and condition. Get under the car and...

Both engines have a unique bolt pattern, so it won't be a straight fit. You would need to purchase a 1UZ A340 bellhousing, flex plate, all fasteners and the torque converter to adapt the engine to your existing A340. As for what else, you've covered the main items... but engine conversions...

UPDATE: I decided to rebuild the diff with a Nismo GT LSD and 4.4 gears (up from 3.7) but was faced with a 2 month wait for new Stub Axles... so I picked up a cheap S15 diff. It uses a torsen centre and is amazing to drive. Hooks up when it needs to and has good manners in tight turns and...

Admin has the file shared in this thread https://www.lextreme.com/forums/threads/lexus-diagnostic-signals-chart-1uz-fe.18406/#post-149546 Regarding the resistor in the AC ECU, there is an important reason Toyota would put it there. If the line voltage was either 0v or 5v, the ECU would only...

Looking at the circuit, the ECU outputs 5V through a pull-up resistor, through a diode, then out to the AC ECU via wiring harness The AC ECU applies another diode to it, then connects to ground via a transistor. The pull-up resistor is there so that the ECU can measure a logical value. By doing...

AC Mag provides output ground to the ac clutch relay AC recieves a 5v input from the ac ecu when the ac is off, that pulls to ground when the ac switches on.

If you hold the throttle open a little, will it start and run?

The repair manual can be prone to dramatics sometimes. If the ECU cannot determine the cause of the fault, it blames itself. I have seen plenty of ECU's replaced unnecessarily when techs only follow the DTC guide. Start by removing the air flow meter connector and inspecting the terminals. Look...
