Toyota MR2

Hehe yes totally agree

I have a plug and play tuning box for this engine somewhere in the garage

[lozzzzzz]

Let hope you're right     There is a very good chance I won't be able to help myself

[Rossey]

Just stick a variable resistor between pins 2-3 of the ip plug.
Just put a 500 ohms resistor in series so you can't go to low.

[Tony]

What do those pins signal/control?

It fools the ecu into thinking the engine is colder than it is and chucks more fuel in

[Tony]

Right.  I think we discussed this before on VOD - I've done similar on the Largo, on the fuel temp sensor that's part of the IP, but the other way around (signal the fuel is hotter, the ECU compensates for extra leakage past the high pressure plunger by injecting more).

All good fun

I seem to remember that you can tell the ecu to inject more, or less, in one of the blocks using vag com, not done it though.

Making Bio this weekend was a right faff, it took ages!  But when that was all done, I did a little more on the MR2. 

I finally got round to timing the engine properly following the cam belt change.  This was only to get the cam timing right, I've still got to get the injection pump timing done with VAG-com. 


Then popped everything back together, put the cross brace in, and the edge covers.


Then finally the engine cover. 


Then it was ready for a wash.  At this point I realised how late it was and packed up  

Before the MOT I've still got to get a couple of slow punctures fixed, and the injection timing right, then give it a good clean and polish. 

There is a bigger set of wheels and tires to go on to get the gearing correct for the speedo and bring the revs down a touch, but I thought it worth giving it a try first. 

Close now

More to come

Toyota looking good when is it planned  for MOT?   
What was the prob with the bio?

[Head Womble]

Good luck with the MOT, with all your hard work I'm sure it'll be ok.

[Tony]

Fingers crossed for the MOT.  The car is looking awesome

[lozzzzzz]

Thanks all   MOT won't be for a while yet I'm afraid (even though the car is ready). 

I guess you know about this, or is it just me?...   If you don't put enough in the first stage it doesn't separate very well.  I end up with dark bio coming out (a mix of glyc and bio), if I put a little more meth oxide in then the glyc falls out really quickly.  Well on this occasion I hadn't put enough in the first stage, so it ended up being a three stager!  The my second filter housing cracked, it all just ended up taking ages.

That's the fun of bio.

Just when you think you've cracked it, it throws you a curved ball or two.

Usually when you least want the problems, I am sure it knows the most effective time to make us sweat. Just think of the saving and, for me, that usually smooths out the anguish.
