Eboost street boost controller, got this a while ago but never posted it in here
Also got some new gauges. These are fully programmable, so using the aux out of my NGK wideband controller I was able to display a/f ratio on this analog gauge. Used a map sensor for the boost gauge.

Just went through your whole build thread man, car looks great, How you liking those megan coilovers? I read alot of mixed reviews.
Eh, the Megans are bottom of the line coilovers. One of them has developed a leak as well. They are definitely stiff but I daily drive my car and its not really an issue unless I drive on the crappy roads in Phoenix. They handle alright, but honestly if I could do it again I would go with a simpler strut/spring combo instead of coilovers. The ability to adjust the ride height is great but not worth the other cons.
Haven't updated in a while, here are some recent pics of the car! The motor has developed a bad smoking problem, it is burning a lot of oil. Engine is coming out soon to see what happened.
Also, took my car to the track recently and ran a 13.7 with a 2.5 60 ft:nono: Trapped 112 mph. Def need some tires.
Will be updating when the engine is apart and I figure out what has gone wrong.

Thanks man. Besides the front and rear bumpers, the car has original paint.
BTW happy 1000'th lol.

Smoking problem is one of three things: Turbo/Rings/Valve Stem seals - what's the current condition of your turbo?
edit:
Looks like your turbo is pretty new, that's probably not it. When does it smoke? It seems the only thing that isn't really new is the valve stem seals, or they're at least more "unknown".

Well it has been smoking for some time now, I have another thread on here with all the details. Pretty sure it is a ring issue at this point. I just changed the valve stem seals and the first 3 cylinders are still filling up with oil after idling for a period of time. When i take off from a long period of idle it lets out a big cloud.
Update! Tore the engine down and found that the spiral lock grooves on my Probe pistons had somehow worn out and let the locks jiggle around in there until they finally popped out and let the wrist pin dig into the cylinder walls...
Block is junk and was scrapped, got a hold of an NA 7m block from a cressida, going to be using that for my build. Using Wiseco pistons this time around.
New pistons
A true supra owners truck...
Poor car is gathering dust!
New lines and fittings for oil filter relocation and ct26 softlines. Went with pushlok hoses and fittings. Will be installing a fill flow cooler eventually.
Wasn't happy at all with the stock connectors on the Maft Pro. Not only did they jiggle around and cause intermittent connections, but the pins were so small and weak that they were very easy to break, ended up breaking a couple pins before I decided to do this... Ended up soldering the wires directly to the main board, then used my own high quality connector.
Doing some repairs to the harness. All new injector connectors, sensor connectors etc. All new loom yet to be installed. Shouldn't have any more issues with this harness
That's it for now, should have the engine back from the machine shop on Monday. Its getting a bore/hone, resurface of the head and block, new oem core plugs, oil pump shaft bearings, oil pump bushing, valve job, etc.

Looks good.
Now you have me scared about my probes!
Luckily, my car is down for upgrade as well, and I also plan on going to Wiseco's.

Harness is completed! Fully plug and play for my maft pro now. New connectors for injectors, tps, iscv, o2s, water temp sensor, csi, csi switch. Cant wait to have a good condition harness on my engine.
And my color scheme...Cummins beige. Don't ask why because I have no idea! Engine coming back from machine shop on Friday, pics to come.

Do you have a parts list and where you purchased all the connectors you replaced? I've found and purchased most of them- from driftmotion and 'eastern beaver' company, however, theres a few I can't find.
Lol yep, and your plug wires are still going strong as well.Zumtizzle;1810628 said:

Almost all of them were through driftmotion, the csi, water temp sensor and csi time switch were all identical to EV1 injector connectors (this is for pre-89). Eastern beaver has the connectors for the VSV's.
