So it turns out that the problem was the AIS. I popped a new Wells unit in there, and after a minute or two of jumpy idling and near-stalling the ECU warmed up to the new AIS and settled into a...

So it turns out that the problem was the AIS. I popped a new Wells unit in there, and after a minute or two of jumpy idling and near-stalling the ECU warmed up to the new AIS and settled into a...
Hi Vic - thanks for your insight re: the TCS. In contrast to your experience, my car would idle okay but the CEL would come on almost immediately at startup. Any driving at about 3000 rpm or so...
Hey all - thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
I am having two problems with my Spirit which may or may not be related, and before I start tearing into things, I thought I might ask the...
Hey all - couple of questions for the Holset experts out there. First, though, big thanks to Jackson for prepping my HE351CW and building an absolutely gorgeous downpipe, and also for providing...
Ah yes, my memory failed me. You do have to apply 12v to one of the 60-way connector pins for the SMEC, though, right? Assuming you want to flash over the SCI cable?
Whoops, I DNRTFQ (did not read the friggin' question). The instructions are posted in the KC as a .pdf. Here"s the link:...
I don't what it's like on the SMEC, but on the SBEC, the SCI connector is plugged into a "dummy" plug lashed to the bundle of wires exiting the SBEC case.
42349.
That's the SCI connector and...
Hey guys - I installed a Neon coil pack in my Spirit R/T recently, and needed custom spark plug wires to replace the stock units, which were much too long for the pack's location on top of the valve...
Hey guys - so I've posted elsewhere about how I ended up mounting the Neon coil pack that's now providing spark in my R/T, but I wanted to post again with more pics and to give a big up to Rich...
Looks f'in sweet! Love Toyotas from that era; still have dreams of dropping a motor just like that into a Cressida... :eyebrows:
Hey y'all; thought I'd post up pics and a description of my new PCV system. I've gone the familiar "vent the valve covers" route, but unlike most/all of the other approaches I've seen, I ended up...
Solved. Thanks to Ian and Simon for their help!
Well, swapped the 1-4 and 2-3 wire pairs, and it fires right up! Guess the Neon coil pack is so plug-and-play that you can (er, must?) keep the stock R/T wire layout - except that, as I found out in...
Are you saying that I connected the leads wrong? That seems implausible, since the arrangement is exactly the same as when I was initially using the MSD unit, which worked perfectly. All that's...
You're right, of course... I was just hoping to avoid that as it seems like a pain in the keister. Do you happen to know whether I need to go through the whole cam timing procedure, or is there a...
So I decided recently to replace the coi lpack in my Spirit with a unit from a Dodge Neon. I got an MSD unit, soldered in the Neon pigtail, and all was well. However, I didn't have a place to mount...
For those who are interested, here's what I ended up doing:
42012
I think it looks pretty good - looks even better with the MSD coilpack, but I don't want to get stranded!
On the downside,...
(Use a TT Supra PCV valve, part number 12204-46020. You'll need a variety of hoses and tees/elbows to make it work, but it's worth it as the valve actually holds boost.)
As for the smoke, have...
Sorry to necro this thread, but I'm in the midst of figuring out a new breather system for the Spirit, and I was wondering how the valve cover baffles have been working out for you, Simon. If I'm...
Update: I spoke to a rep at Federal Mogul (makers of the Sealed Power brand), and #SS72891 valve seals are indeed made of Viton.
Hey guys - decided to replace the coil pack in my '92 Spirit R/T with an MSD unit for the Neon. Although the bolt spacing is correct to mount the unit to the bracket that sits on the intake right...
Looks like the other part number given above, Sealed Power ST2140, are made of Viton. RockAuto also states that Sealed Power SS72891 (the ones that Simon uses) are "Police; Premium valve stem seals...
Hey guys - I've been in touch with Neil Emiro, who has informed me that the manual is now available at the ND Performance website. Here's a link to the TCS support and software page.
Hey guys - I've been in touch with Neil, who has informed me that the TIII TCS installation manual is now available at the ND Performance website. Here is a link to the TCS support and software page.
Hi - thanks for the input!
I'm pretty sure that's what they are referring to. That's possible, but there's also a field in the torque specs for "End Cover to Case" bolts.
If your gun is 1/2"...
