dspec_tt131 811 Report post Posted February 3 Need help with wiring igniter on 1gge. Top two wires went to dizzy on 1geu but I'm thinking I need to hook these up to IGT and IGF on 1gge ecu? How do I know which one goes where? 1geu wiring diagram IGT,IGF definitions Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpr 5,599 Report post Posted February 3 what are you trying to do? sounds like you need to get the right ignitor looks like the ignitor you have is made to trigger off a reluctor wheel in the dizzy, which then fires the coil. - pretty much carb eletronic ignition the one you need the ecu tells it when to fire the coil .

dspec_tt131 811 Report post Posted February 3 Yeah you're right @kpr I've just answered my own question. Both igniters looked the same so I went with 1ge since it plugged into my factory body loom and gave away the 1gge one. Looks like i need to go shopping 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Transom 4,202 Report post Posted February 3 9 hours ago, shizzl said: Factory ecu wiring into old junk.. Is this fairly straight forward? I'm looking at a b6 mx5 conversion for the hunter, and cos I'm so cheap I'd like to keep the original loom etc. I don't think these have any immobiliser components in them. Goal is to keep the smoke inside the wires Mx5 loom is a clusterfuck - no seperate engine loom all wires for everything bundled together and exit out both sides of the engine bay can be done and you will end up with not many wires - check out some of the guides for Mx5 based kits cars as they do exactly this no immobiliser on early models unless aftermarket 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dspec_tt131 811 Report post Posted February 3 Have checked toyodiy for what models I could pinch igniter from and it lists same one being used on 1geu as 1gge so now I'm double confused Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickJ 3,323 Report post Posted February 4 Father just brought a new car that arrived wired with big brother spec dash cams, one still has the SD card inside full of .vdd files, any suggestions on what programs will open them? I can see thumbnails on my mac showing intersections, but VLC and Quicktime have no interest. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something like that, he was building a Chevrolet stovebolt, someone I know had a 1930 ford motor that had been painted with that stuff and it was super clean inside, sludge couldn’t stick to it 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bling 17,605 Report post Posted February 27 Water pump tech question: (3AU) What is the go to with sealing them. It came with a bunch of gaskets which is fine, I assume just slap those on as is. But it also has an o-ring that sits against the block, with no obvious slot to hold it in place. Is tossing that to the side and just liquid gasketing the water pump to the block going to work? I also have a bypass pipe which has two o-rings that fit inside cut outs. Should I goo the o-rings and fit the pipe in, or just run o-rings? New bypass pipe will be NLA, like most other bits were, so it's all RockAuto supplied. So I have sanded all the corrosion off the pipe and it's actually solid, so not too worried about getting a new bit of pipe. With the gasket goo, do you put it on and tighten it all the way home or leave it a while before tightening it all the way? N00b questions I know, but giving it a go because can't move car and what could possibly go wrong? I never bothered doing it on other car, just had mechanic do it as it was so much easier. He no longer mechanics, so here we are. Cambelt is after this, and it didn't come with a tension spring to attach to the tensioner, so will have to find one of those. Apart from that, RockAuto supplied to rest. Couldn't work out why the pump wouldn't come off. Factory manual only shows replacing the front half of the pump, doh. Looks like just the front half is typically replaced. Which makes sense as mother of god, disconnecting the pipe under the headers, from the back of the waterpump is a nightmare for an amateur. That connection has some wierdo metalish gasket with a rib on it. Is it all good to goo the lot or nah? It's in far from new condition, so i'll be prepping the surfaces as best I can. Just not sure if it's like exhaust gaskets where gooing them can be better than just using gaskets alone. Any help is welcomed, chur. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yetchh 5,452 Report post Posted February 27 I never use gaskets other than head gaskets obviously. I use copper max or whatever derivative is on the shelf, super small bead and smear that around maybe 1/4mm without leaving dags anywhere.. Then I finger/nip up the bolts and leave it for a couple of hours then torque up.. If there's an o-ring supplied I use that.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bling 17,605 Report post Posted February 27 Would you replace camshaft and crank seals if they look perfectly fine? Recall some seals can be a bitch and actually start leaking after being replaced. I have all the seals in the kit, but worth asking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valiant 40,522 Report post Posted February 27 Re water pump, I glue the gasket to the pump with a very light smear if rtv, then fit it and pull the bolts up tight from there. Give the o ring and where it sits a good dose of rubber grease and put it together. 4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
