Brennan Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Cheers man, keep an eye on www.i-love-recycle.com there has been another identical pair on there since. Fender mirrors is フェンダーミラー ive noticed a few singles pop up on Yahoo auctions too, in the past few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 If your fuel pressure is low, could it be an issue with the fuel pressure regulator rather than the fuel pump?Also, are you using standard Altezza injectors? As they are 340cc injectors when run at the factory 60psi, but according to the maths are only about 275cc if run at 40psi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eke_zetec_RWD Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Think they ran the pump straight into a gauge ie dead heading it. So not regulator. Either low voltage at pump Leaking pump fittings intank Or fucked pump Or tank is dented and pinching intake into pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 We got the pump out. It's a Walbro 5ca400. 12v and 50psi, (so if it needs 60psi like roman says is factory, will need a better one. It is receiving 12v and 3.8Amps from the car. And got to 20psi on the gauge. So we hooked a car battery straight onto the pump and it still only went to 20psi. So my old man is going to see the electrician with the pump tomorrow. Cheers for your help yesterday eke_zetec_RWD.

flyingbrick Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I wouldn't go to a sparky. .$ for nothing. Cant you just test it out of the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 We did test it off the car. Still only got 20psi. Going back to him to chuck it at him and say its a piece of shit and hopefully get a replacement. As he supplied it originally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eke_zetec_RWD Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Sweet, must deff be the pump. What a hassle! But at least it didn't cost you a motor. Although it sounds like you need a new cam wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Sweet, must deff be the pump. What a hassle! But at least it didn't cost you a motor. Although it sounds like you need a new cam wheel. Yes. New pump is not to bad. Keith found a few forum posts about cleaning the valve/solenoid on the vvti on 2zz and 1jz engines. So hopefully it may be that. Causes an inconsistent oil flow to the cams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eke_zetec_RWD Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Just run 50psi at 100kpa. Pretty high but not straining the pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I have a welbro one in mine and it draws about 7 amp, no idea what the pressure is, whatever the factory 1uz regulator is. Make sure it's not touching the bottom of the tank or it will be loud, so I found out. haha. If I took it out again I would put some rubber insulation around the clamp and lift it up a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 62psi would give the best spray pattern if that's what the injectors are designed for. But 50 would be fine if that's what you tune your car for. Also if you want to clean the filter for the VVTI. You need to take off the front main cam cap, the one that has both sides in one piece and has about six bolts holding it down.Then the filter is located either in that piece, or the head directly below it (cant remember which)Toyodiy seems to suggest it's in the cam cap thing.So it's a cambelt off job, bit of a bugger really! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Oh dam, that doesn't make it easy. Strange as all the other engines have them in a easy to access spot, on the side of the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 What's happening with the vvti? I seem to have missed that. That gauze is where the oil comes through the block to squirt into the vvti gears. Cambelt off job, but is easy enough. Also, I assume you're running a return line? Dan's Wagon only uses a VL fuel pump and a return with aftermarket FPR and it runs good as gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Wait, if this running deadhead fuel line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 It has a rattle in the vvti. Hopefully it is that gauze filter causing it from lack of oil pressure. Turns out it was a split in the hose inside the tank. Just above the pump. So couldn't build up pressure. Can't believe it took so long to spot it. And yes has a return line.

Roman Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Ahhh well, at least it's an easy fix! Good to hear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eke_zetec_RWD Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 No it's not actually dead head. Just did a test like that to check the pumps max pressure and to rule out the reg as a fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 The VVTi rattle is probably just a solenoid. Listen to each solenoid with a screwdriver and figure out which one it is. I can send you a spare to test with if you're worried, but it's probably a benign rattle. *edit* the cam gears shouldn't rattle like a silvertop sometimes does as they operate completely differently. A beams gear has two helical splines that work against each other, so they shouldn't wear out or make noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
