toy-mota Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 Thought i should push this out of the garage for a quick wash . Shit it looks good. After a year sitting on stands and no front end . I finally get to see it how it was 4 odd years ago. I have bought a link g4+ storm ecu.just need a fuel reg and pump now and should get her going very soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post toy-mota Posted August 4, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2018 Well she finally runs. 6 years in the making. Started first pop and sounds awesome! Still needs to be road tuned as it has a flat spot at 2500rpm and cuts out, but IT RUNS!!! A few small issues to fix and should be all go for cert. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toy-mota Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 The 1st day of spring ,sunny and warm and im in the garage under the car fixing my exhaust as the last time i took it out it ripped my automatic gate rail clean out of the ground. Have fixed the rail and got stuck in today shifting the exhaust higher ,got an extra 30mm out of it. Took it for a test and all is good now . Next issue is the front sits lower. It sat fine with the old motor/box , but maybe a 2jz/w57 combo is heavier. I had originally got the springs compressed. I have another set of factory springs ,but with little budget at the moment im thinking of cutting them. Should be stiffer than compressing. Only problem is i havnt chopped springs before,it needs to be 25mm higher.How do you know how many coils to remove? I also have more camber than I remember, are ms112 lower arms longer?

toy-mota Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 the lasting outing in the crown i had fuel issues’s . I had over 1/2 tank and it was just surging. So bit the bullet and cut my spare tank apart and have fitted a in tank pump and baffles. pump assembly is from a Subaru with an aftermarket DW200 pump fitted. Modified the assembly to fit the crown tank,things are getting tight. Also had to machine up a extension on my pickup/filter so it sat at the bottom of the tank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toy-mota Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 This may have also been causing fueling problems . This is the factory pickup from inside the tank. The pipe is about 12mm ID but right at the end its flattened off and is less that 1/2 the size ,glad its gone now 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post toy-mota Posted December 16, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2018 With installing itbs, i needed to run an aircleaner. Im not a fan of socks and the SQ Eng trumpets dont allow individual socks to be fitted. Keeping with the theme of the factory look. I made an aircleaner. I copied the original 4m box in the way that it seals and the lid clips on. Although large ,it lets me keep the trumpets. All thought out and made by myself, with hand tools,shrinker/stretcher and a beadroller. Can anyone guess what the lid was made from? 31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toy-mota Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Managed to get the crown to muscle car madness in Rangiora on the Saturday. Alot of interest from people . (Only photo i have from the show which i found on FB, if any one got any send them through) Also chopped up my factory JDM ms75 tash to fit in a speedhut 3 3/8 Electrial speedo. Easy to install and wire up. Doesnt look to far out of place . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
