Thanks you for the response duck. That sounds even better than I was hoping for.
I've been pretty bad at keeping things updated recently too - The car has been smogged. Tomorrow morning, I'll be getting a VIN problem fixed and hopefully it will be actually be legal to drive on the streets. Gotta love it when the title has a VIN that doesn't match the car - but the car isn't legal to drive on the street to go get updated/verified because the registration is out of date. :doh:CTechBlueDragon":1yqyfspl said:I just fired up my 215 swap for the first time I am so happy!!! Time to revive the swapped Camry thread! I would make my own but I never keep up on that kinda thing. lol

Yup. Already did, though I did it through AAA, of course. Get there at 9am, out of the door by 9:10am... hopefully the VIN inspection/correction goes as fast tomorrow.Awesome-Trac":1z3hgrzj said:phattyduck":1z3hgrzj said:I've been pretty bad at keeping things updated recently too - The car has been smogged.

Can't you get the one day pass from the DMV
I have a TT Supra pump on my 3s-gte Alltrac Camry and I kept the stock fuel pump resistor setup. On this Alltrac (or, rather, the BEAMs motor) there is not extra fuel pump resistor, so I am still using the stock pump. 200 N/A HP isn't that much fuel to flow.CTechBlueDragon":64gx1b4q said:What a drag, I hope everything goes as planned and you get to drive it. Thanks again for the EWD that made all the difference in the world. I also had to do the starter relay mod I just happened to run into that little problem at the same time as I was working out all the harness splicing and it made me think I had messed it up. Now I am going to wire in a relay and extra fuel pump resistor I have so my TTSupra pump isn't going full speed all the time, should extend its life considerably. Did you do this to yours? I still have a bunch of stuff to wrap up (the harness being most literal of them) but now that it runs I am a lot more motivated. And of-course its going to start snowing here like tomorrow... and I have no garage... sigh I really want to drive this thing this winter. I may just have to tow it over to my fathers house and borrow his garage for a few hours at a time.
Oh yeah my really nice neighbor Joel helped me out welding that sway bar mount mod and it turned out awesome, I put my 185 lowering springs on the car and it dropped the back down so far it was like an inch lower than the fronts. I bought some KYB AGX shocks for the rear and since we had to weld the top on from some fronts anyways we went ahead and added an inch under the sway bar mounts and it brought the height up perfectly, and I bought some adjustable mr2 end links used for super cheap that fit perfect! I'll hafta post up a pic on the post your car thread soon, it looks great with the scion rims. So its all adjustable shocks now at just the height I would have wanted without buying coils.
The resistors are color coded. If you are going to get them at Radio Shack (do they still exist?), just get one close to 30k ohm - a little high or a little low will be fine for that part of the circuit. Or you can replace that resistor (15k), but it was a bit more difficult to do it that way (in my opinion...).CTechBlueDragon":mkzayr25 said:Awesome thanks for the info. I will go to radio shack and try to match up the colors and see what I can find. I think they are all coded that way right?
Also I was wondering how do you figure out how much more oil you need after you hook up the filter relocation? Will it make it read high on the dip stick or does it not all drain back?
I'm not even sure how you got a filter on there... I only have 3/8" or so of clearance, even with a right-angle oil-filter take-off. You'll get it back together, and now you've learned your "always leave clearance for things" lesson. (or in my case, really stiff motor mounts!)CTechBlueDragon":1nhw84tx said:Well I wish I had a good story about my first drive but I am a complete retard... I decided to take a short drive without doing the oil filter relocation and the filter rubbed through on the mount and I lost oil and didn't notice because I was looking at the temp gauge of all things. I saw some smoke but I thought it was the turbo, and it went away immediately. That was because it go so soaked in oil it stopped smoking. The entire engine bay and engine are coated in oil and I didn't see the idiot light until I had driven a couple miles without any oil. I am too stupid to own this car. This is worse then the guys I got the engine from that melted a piston because the wastegate wasn't hooked up. I feel like selling everything now. Just spent the last of my money on the damn reg and tags and now its gonna sit the rest of the winter atleast. I cannot believe I did this.![]()
