Well The Guy Finished his Full analysis of my board and Capacitors going to take longer then he planned I have 24 Bad Capacitors in all Probably have it back a little after this weekend.

I learned some interesting (Can't remember the specific type) But there are these very small Capacitors that when old if the temp extremely low as it can get in some Canadian winters and you go to start you car it will cause these capacitors to blow instantly.

either way i will have everything nice and fresh. :)

Good job Josh on having your ecu checked. I would highly reccommend the ic piping also. It looks nice in the engine bay and you know you can't go wrong with www.driftmotion.com ........................lol

I got the 2.5" piping. I just felt I didn't need the 2.75 because that was going to be more volume I had to fill up. I think the 2.5 is perfect unless you're running a giant turbo. Good luck.........lol

100mi... He's so far away another hundred either way wouldn't even matter! lol

On a side note, you know twin turbo sounds so much cooler... :p

I was being sarcastic. I have no intentions of driving or flying to Canada. I would help Josh out if I could, but Josh is better at working on supras than I am. I would only be there for moral support, and twin anything, sounds better to me...............lol

Well i finally made it back out to my mothers place where my car is being stored at the moment.

I put the ECU back in and Everything was working fine Basically or seemed to be

I will have a video up soon

I do have a problem though with the Regulator on the Alternator i think. Most of the time it is pumping out the correct 14v or 14.3v but some times or after a while it will only do 12.6v at idle unless you increase the rev's of the engine

But no more back fire and no more Sputtering nothing just beautiful clean revving and starts like a champ

I did move the TPS though way before and i don't think its back exactly where it was so that can also be a small issue to look at :(

It was idling perfectly between 500 - 600 rpm
