NickZ Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 (edited) See ya, old bitch when cold, flat spot, dirty carbs, They are finally gone. Replaced with smooth running, easy start EFI 1 days work and all going again :) :D :D :fuzz: :P Edited January 15, 2005 by NickZ Quote
demuire Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 Do you recon that perhaps there is a chance that your radiator may be a *tad* big? :) Quote
NickZ Posted January 15, 2005 Author Report Posted January 15, 2005 anything you don't need a fan for is good....i can drive in traffic and it still sits on normal temp..the thermostat takes care of the temp so it doesnt keep too cold. ive always found toyotas overheat when thrashing, so this time i fixed it even doing a slow moving burnout for 100m it wont over heat. so to answer you question....no its not to big for what i do with the car.

Medicine_Man Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Looking great, you seem to know your injection pretty well.. Quote
NickZ Posted January 16, 2005 Author Report Posted January 16, 2005 I should know injection...i am the Microtech dealer for Tasmania so i install a few ECU's, and anything I own I fit EFI. I finished the car today and its made alot of diffrence from the carbs more lowdown power and it feels like it has a turbo now....from 4000 rpm it just snaps to 6500 (rev limit) in no time, the carbs seemed flat responce to 6000rpm and there was not much power lowdown, The noise of twin carbs sucking has gone, but the power gain is better. I'm hoping next month ill be able to dyno tune it...just need tosave a truck load of cash to pay for it. Quote
Super Jamie Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 how coincidental, stewart just got his 4k efi going this weekend, using my old 7k-e manifold Quote
Medicine_Man Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Rumor has it there will be a lot more 4K-E injection happening soon.. Quote
Redwarf Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 I could have fixed your carbie problem easily. I can see the problem and describe it in one word, "solex". They're a piece of excrement. You did right to throw them away. Webers are a far better option than the Japanese copies. Mmmmm.... I'm still not a fan of the factory 2T-G efi set-up. Meh, as long as you're happy! :P Quote
Medicine_Man Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Just out of curiousity, can you run the standard coil with EFI? I assumed EFI required an Coil/Ignitor.. Quote
Super Jamie Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 yeah, stew just has the standard dizzy at the moment. he's going to go to programmable ignition with megasquirt2. Quote
NickZ Posted January 16, 2005 Author Report Posted January 16, 2005 Redwarf, not a fan of the machanical part or the computer part Yes the computer part would suck as it uses AFM, but as far as the rest goes, is not a bad design...has a huge fuel rail, runners are a good length for torque and revs. I'm using a standard points dizzy for now that i have modded to work for a pulse for the Microtech ECU as it controls ignition as well, uses a holden Ignitor module and a standard coil. the other problem i had was setting it up as the dizzy touched the fuel rail so i cannot adjust the timming by moving the dizzy, so i had to do it within the dizzy. was alot of messing around. i am on the look out for a electronic dizzy, but these are hard to come by and then cost too much.

Redwarf Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 That not moving the dizzy bit is interesting, I assume that means there is a different dizzy for he 2T-GUE so you can get dizzy adjustment? You learn something everyday.... Quote
NickZ Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Posted January 17, 2005 yeah there must be...when i said mod the dizzy it ment attacking it with a grinder and cutting off some of the housing at the end of the vacuum advance id say almost 1 inch as it sticks out, and shaved off a bit in the dizzy cap and it still rests hard against the fuel rail. Quote
NickZ Posted January 18, 2005 Author Report Posted January 18, 2005 (edited) i looked at a electronic dizzy (reluctor type) for the 2t-geu and its around 3 inchs taller than my standard points type dizzy, the extra hight to clear the fuel rail. more money..oh well, ill have to change the ECU too for the reluctor, lucky i have another Microtech ECU for a 4age here that also uses reluctor and maybe the maps might be similar if I'm lucky. does any one know the injector sizes between the two motors?

1G-GTE KE70 Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 ive always found toyotas overheat when thrashing, so this time i fixed iteven doing a slow moving burnout for 100m it wont over heat. so to answer you question....no its not to big for what i do with the car. not that we do burnouts etc on the street because that would be illegal. and only bad bad people do that.... :P haha that's cool man I like it.
