Here's an unexpected failure. Has anyone else had this happen to them too?

Seen that baffle piece break off on a few cars.

Fark, I'm going to the shed to check mines still there :-/

Hey everyone, I now have the engine running with the Haltech ECU and temporary wiring, so no more Microtech for me! Yay! My next job is to do the wiring properly. I will be moving the ECU, fuse block and relays to behind the passenger seat, so there is no more electronics in the boot. 
 
The Haltech ECU is an E11V2, so if anyone ever needs a base map, I have uploaded one here.
I have also taken screen shots of my old Microtech LT-8 maps in case anyone ever needs them to refer to.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 
 

Oh - I forgot to say that I installed some different 3SGE cams to hopefully increase oil pressure. Some of the journals on the old cams were worn and smaller than the minimum size recommended by Toyota.
The journals on the new cams were all within spec, and I now have around 10psi more oil pressure. 😎

Great progress!

Yep. Well done.
Having installed new cams and noticing an increase of 10 PSI. in oil pressure can you tell us what pressure it has now.
Say hot at  1000-  2000-  3000-  Would be interesting as it ran satisfactorily even on the lower oil pressure.
They must loose a fair old amount to the piston skirters and turbo oil feed.
Does your engine have a larger volume pump?  Thanks.
