dspec_tt131 1,408 Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 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 Link to post Share on other sites
kpr 6,505 Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 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 1,408 Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 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 Link to post Share on other sites

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 Link to post Share on other sites

dspec_tt131 1,408 Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 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 Link to post Share on other sites
NickJ 4,084 Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostchips 5,071 Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Try GOM player, it might be able to find a codec that'll work. Edit: haven't used it in years but the newer version suck, apparently a new team took over & it might install malware now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ranter 1,654 Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 I usually watch them through the camera, the most interesting bit is usually how fucking massive the parking on the ship is. 8-10 levels of the biggest car park ever. And if the battery has been flat that's all you'll get, or sometimes hours of idling lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bling 21,866 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 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 Link to post Share on other sites
yetchh 6,365 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Bling 21,866 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Valiant 42,169 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 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 Link to post Share on other sites
