perrinsohc Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Black will be awesome. You should put a video up of it all running with some sweet quad throttle body action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 I shall thrash for your enjoyment this evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 have a video should be live soon, reallllly should have let it warm up a little more since its quite obveous i didnt. sounds friken weird at idle in this video, though it does sound a little tractory anyway, ive been looking it up and it appears to be a common thing stemming from generally noisey injectors and the vvt pully. im led to believe that itll sound a little odd but be fine, its also running on 2 year old fuel which wont be helping anything, and i have some injector cleaner for it for when i put some nice new fuel in it. odVna6nhJxA I aim to get it wofed and regod as soon as possible so i can get some proper driving on it and see if the engine needs anything else.

Truenotch Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 That sounds louder than a VVT pulley to me... Are you sure those bearings fitted right? Does it have the thrust washers in there? Get an incar vid driving down the road - low load, medium load up a hill and a thrashing. Edit - it could be a really bad cam pulley though, but the way it rattles as the revs drop sounds like a bearing noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 yeah the sound came out really weird from that camera, pretty certain the bearings are good. the noise is alot quieter in reality and goes away when vvt engages, i will however get a video of those situations once ive got it legal etc.. im also pretty sure the timing needs to be set as it has a little hesitation when you blip the gas, need to get ahold of a timing like and double check it, also im slowly burning off all the old fuel so i can drive it on fresh fuel, im certain what ever is in it wont be ideal.

Truenotch Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Cool. Hopefully it is just the VVTi pulley. Does it go away at all once the engine is warm? And where does the factory oil pressure gauge sit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 i need to find the plug for the factory gauge, this is high up on my list of things to do before it gets driven any real amount, there is a plug with a round clear/yellowy plastic fitting that would hang down about the right place, but from memory its a 2 pin plug and doesn't seem right, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Nah, it should be a female spade fitting that slots onto a round oil pressure sender. It should look a bit like this: It's just a single wire sender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 yeah i thought so. ive seen the sender (and ive seen the plugs that fit into them) just need to locate it in the loom. is the location for the sender in the same(ish) place on the 16v and 20v 4ages?

Truenotch Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Yeah man, should be under the exhaust manifold toward the front (cam gear) end of the block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 forgive me if im wrong but wouldnt revving the tits of a fresh motor with unknown noises and no oil gauge be the worst thing you could have done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 yep thats it, sliced my arm on it actually, little bastard. next moment i get free to look at the mr2 ill hunt for that plug and wire it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 forgive me if im wrong but wouldnt revving the tits of a fresh motor with unknown noises and no oil gauge be the worst thing you could have done? wouldn't call it unknown noises or a fresh motor, the noise stops as soon as vvti engages and the motor sounds smooth as. but yes, reving it like that isnt ideal as with any engine, i meant to warm it up but not really sure why i jumped the gun, just a laspse in concentration on my part, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Nah, it'll be mint. Going by CXGPWR theory, revving the tits of an engine that's cold and fresh is the only way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 knew a guy that said revving the tits off a cold engine is ideal cause it heats the oil up faster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 have added oil pressure photos, further reading looks to say that the gauge wont read right with a 20v sender, sooo yeah.. might have to track one of those down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 15/40 is perfect for 4AGE's, so don't worry about that. I'll go dig around in the shed and see if there's a 16v pressure sender there for you. Any rattles while driving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Not really any rattles. Has that diesel sound when vvti is off. Pretty sure it needs the timing done cause it has a bit of hesitation when you jam the throttle, but might be the 2 year old fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsspeed Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hesitation can be an ECU issue as well - assuming stock ecu is used here - open it up and see if any of the capcitors are leaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
