i installed an alpine 7873 yesterday and im going to try to start the 20v later today when i get my knock sensor clip.
About your neutral start thing, I have an automatic ECU in my swap as well. I had Tweak do my harness and I guess he left that disconnected or modified it to work properly. Some cars do come with 2 ECUs though if they're an auto. The ECU and TCM.
ya, i tried leaving nsw unplugged by sta plugged in so it wouldn't crank at all. im connecting the nsw back to the ecu and then loopong the wires together where the neutral start switch on the transmission would ussally be and if all fails il just unplug the sta wire. the only problem with that is that im limited to 6500rpm
I think its about time for an update. I ordered a dr.tweak harness but i had some problems starting it. thankfully dr.tweak helped me through it and he found out that my afm was pinned incorrectly so i switched pin 1 to 7 and 2 to 6. and fixed my vacuum leak so now it run runs great apart from the fact that i have no o2 sensor so it takes a while to start and it idles at 1900. I also fixed my taillight wiring issue and now i have my taillights back. my next step is getting my new axles in(new at180 half axles) and putting my new front and rear trans mounts in.
I have a revup video here's the link http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=528229500561144&set=vb.100001222953557&type=3&theater

Long needed update....To get my car roadworthy I just need to fix my leaky exhaust and new wheel bearings. I also upgraded to st185 front brake upgrade and I got st184 ground control sleeves (I will be getting Konis at a later date). I will be getting an alltrac kit. My own concern at this point is whether the rear bumper will fit because I have a coupe.
the rear will not fit do to your rear is flat in design and the alltracs are curved at the rear like all hatchbacks.
minor update..the celica keeps on destroying at180 axles so Im going to need to either lengthen them or maybe try some 7th gen ones.
Where did you get those wheels? They are looking very nice on your car! Must have been a fortune, or you are damn lucky
I bought the wheels from a friend who had them on his st185, they are enkeis 16x7.5" +35. I got the wheels for $300 and I traded a 3sge intake manifold and TB. the tires are mismatched atm though.
Its been a while since I updated this thread so its about time...I installed a fgk header and downpipe. My next step is to fix my exhaust leak at the end of my hks cat delete
Update: beginning of my winter build has started, I have nothing huge planned just mostly repairing the bodywork and fitting xxr 002's and flares
