jdmfreak's A NEW BEGINNING (BUILD THREAD)
- Thread starter jdmfreak
- Start date
I'm pretty stoked, yesterday I got the stock twins off I'm working 6-7 days a week so it's going to be a slow process
So the few last bits I need are a iacv (ford pwm)
NIW coil brackets and pwm iacv stuff
New spark plugs
Serpentine belt and tensioner
As well as a few other things I have on order

Mainly because the vvti has dbw which is also used for Iac and because ms does not support dbw I'll be disabling it
the Ford pwm works awesome on the ms3x

Nice Shawn! Did you have to swap to a rear sump or did it come with the rear sump set up already? Also did you end up keeping the auto?
Thanks, it came rear sump, so I swapped it, and I'm using my r154
But it didn't have a hydro fan setup so I didn't have to change that

well this weekend i was very busy, i finished the wiring yesterday, built my exhaust and intercoolerpiping today added all fluids and fired her up (first start vid on my facebook) ive still got a bit of work to do before i can drive her and start tuning, but i am super happy!!!

thanks for your help
You're welcome Shawn, but before anyone gets any ideas. I didn't help with any wiring or any technical data. I simply had a couple parts lying around that he needed and I didn't. That's about all the help I am to anyone.........unless you're wanting a really cool deck built, or house painted.
I'm pretty sure a potato would have had higher resolution than that video............lol
Congrats on the startup, Jay
Finished up a last couple things then went out for a test drive/ started tuning!
I have to say, I never thought I'd ever say this and I won't become a jz snob I still think the 7m is a great engine if built properly, but this setup feels soo good I wish I had gone 2j sooner! I'll leave it at that, Supra stoked
Been having some majority issues with the tuning I get a major breakup/powerless/complete shutdown around 14psi and 4k rpm until I lift off th throttle, I've gone over everything and this shouldn't be happening lol everything I look at mechanical checks out and I get more convinced it's the wiring,tune or something related,when I look at that I get more convinced it's something mechanical.....
It's hard to believe it could be something mechanical that would shut the car down. Has to be in the tune somewhere that is shutting it down when it reaches a certain psi, or knock, or timing map, etc. I know you've checked the tune over and over again, but what mechanically could do what you're describing?
Is it shutting down completely, or is it acting like it's blowing the spark because of bad coils or to big a gap on your plugs?
