  1. Ok now that i've replaced the fuel pump and have excellent petrol flow , i have now found out it's the disstributor the mechanic at toyota sad that they had problems with the 4ages dissi between 89- 91 but some were good ! so i have got a new dissi coming from the states because apparently i can't find any around and the people that have them ,sell them with the motors! it was sending spark but not getting fuel , the injectors were not getting a signal from the dissi , so yeah i never thought that would have been the problem!
  2. Nice neat seca , very good starting point with the sx, i went through a few 4a series motors before i ended up with my sx 4age!! keep on with this car and it'll grow on you more every year that goes bye, i've thought about selling mine but it's got a hold of me big time haha..!6 years so far
  3. NEWS FEED :ok the ECU is not the problem, i took my disi out and down to the auto- electrician and its fine , now i'm really stumped has anybody got any idea whats going on here or do i just need a break...lol i think now maybe it might be a wiring problem,? oh and i bought a gt40 bosch coil ,so now i definitely have good spark, surely i'll figure out whats wrong soon ! it's what us car enthusiasts do ,we don't give up!
  4. Ok now i've got a f-ing headache ....ok this is how my past month has gone down Broke due to car and other related problems .....but its all good work is picking up again so i suppose money problems solved...! oh yeah i've had a tension head ache ,had it for three days from stessing and getting angry. I got the car going then it stalls up the road ok ..then trying to figure out what has happened...it was the aftermarket fuel regulator... then all is going again after removing the regulator, then the injectors block up oh shit now i'm mad so took them down to get them checked as they were reconditioned and he did not charge me thank god ,,,ok now all back together ,, got car stated and perfectly ,started every time first pop going inside for a long smoko brake and coffee lol ...ok next day -- this is the day i've been waiting 6 months for, my license to drive has been revoked so here i am thinking awesome my car is all new almost and i'm going for a cruze,so so happy and worried,at the same time , ok i got in started it up and the number 1 spark plug has blown, oh well got new spakies and back to square one the timing was out and not starting so ajusted it again for the 100th time ...by the way timing is a bitch but now i finally understand it .. only after long and f---ed up gruelling exhauting mind wrecking problems... got it going and good again , so i head out get to the motorway entrance and guess what ? yep it stoped again,as i gave it juice in 3rd it just stalled. so by now i'm emotionless , i just don't now anymore why me , why do i have to struggle so much, oh thats right i wanted to do this project!! sob so i finally get the picture ...flat battery ,my catalytic converter blew out its internals and well i finally get through to my dad hours later and he towed me home lucky the cops did'nt see us on the motorway this was 11 pm ,,,ok after all this days later i've been going through the whole car again ...i've bought another ecu ,and now i'm waiting for tomorrow.....tomorrow somtimes that word annoys me it should be going for f--k sake.. all the parts have been replaced with new ones this should be one happy twin cam 4age....oh well wish me luck for tomorrow arghhhh
  5. Good to see another 92 and still untouched , well firstly i recommend a BOSS setup wich stands for-[ bolt on steering setup] they can be bought on ebay as a package with steering wheel for next to nothing from the states! or any car shop! they are easy to install and just make sure you line it up , and in all a 15 min setup! secondly i really recommend a 4AGE sx smallport motor, you wont look back. i have owned all the series and ever since i put a 4age in it's made me want to do more to my car and it never ends! you can pick one up for about $1000 +- , make sure you get the whole package , wiring inside and engine loom, exhaust,alternator,starter,pretty much all the engine parts as they all differ from the 4AFE and 4AFC, basically get a front-cut! anysways there is heaps of things you could do ? all depends on how far you want to go!
  6. Yeah man it has been so difficult without wheels , I'm going to have to behave, just a litte fun where i can
  7. Got my car all back together and started engine today , will post some pictures soon It has been a really fun project but theres more mods I'm thinking about! The engine sounds nice I'm so happy its all going , now i have 4 weeks left to wait for my licence.
  8. Almost finished ,just little details left, primed the engine got fuel flowing and now the battery needs to be recharged. so hopefully all goes well tomorrow, i have check over everything properly and still i worry and check all the time, but oh well its just that its all new! very exciting but i am not rushing it to much, here are a few more pics....
  9. Thanks man , i was going for the cams ,but my pocket ran dry haha. Maybe one day soon...was thinking of 264 or 254's !
  10. Finally got my engine back and so far so good i've got the engine back in and now i have to fix a thread in the gearbox, most of the parts i intended on using never got used due to clearence issues, so as it stands its had a full rebuild and few mods here are some pics at the moment!
  11. Thanks man, one day when i have money again ,i'm going to finish off the body with a respray and i don't know but was thinking about a subaru liberty 99 wing! i went to check on my engine today and they can't use the h-beam conrods in the smallport because of clearence issues.thats cool though i found out they are really not necessary as the standard ones are strong enough , so i can now make moneyback on all the parts that did'nt fit! Monday or tuesday is going to be exciting but not for my wallet.
  12. Sprayed my gearbox now just have to finish off all the other parts! next week the engine will be coming home!
  13. thanks man ,this project is planning out better than i expected, still there have been lots of parts i bought that i'm not able to get fitted like for example the supertech valves are 2mm oversize , too much clearence issues so now its taken a new direction, and drop in cost so thats always good. I found those lime green hoses on ebay,made by SAMCO.they make them in any colour ,there is one person selling a set at the momment the buyer is called jwracing777 based in the UK just look up 4Age parts or ebay motors and you should find it!
  14. finally got my motor to the shop and can't wait to get it back , so in the last coulple of months i've been getting all ready for the big moment! i resprayed the engine bay and all other parts have had a nice coat of red and silver with a touch of black.here is a few photos!
