    3-Pin to 4-Pin Linear TPS Mod (eManage Ultimate)

    So, just reviewing the colossal amount of data I have on my little shopping cart from the years of modding and going back to the stuff I struggled with while not getting much assistance until I learned in the fire by trying out stuff myself. Well, this is me giving back to the brainswarm. If you...

    ECU Fuse

    How is it possible that my car started without the ECU fuse in place? :homer: Ghosts in the machine perhaps? :confused: (EP91 Glanza V P)

    Electrical Wiring Schematics (Glanza)

    Has anyone done up a wiring schematic similar to the EP82 one done up by Alan Meyers (I think) for the Glanza. I'm more interested particularly in the rad fan / air-con fan (relay) wiring. Just from a quick scan and test of the same, I found that Relay #3 is activated by the thermo switch but...

    difference between GT & Glanza coolant (cylinder head) housing/body

    pardon the unclear title and fuzzy picture but the camera i had then was causing and i needed to leave. i have this from a purchased engine (which apparently was from a glanza) since the GT has more sensors here. now, the engine is intended for use in a GT which has the extra sensor you can see...

    engine hoisting out of/into the bay

    for those who rebuild engines in their sleep, which is the easiest way around hoisting the engine back into the bay. is it easier/better to put in the engine solo then mate the trans later or bring it all in at once..? wondering because i would suppose squeezing it all in at once may be a tad...

    engine mounts: this side up

    odd question here; i'm wondering which side is the correct way to place the bush(ing) when fresh ones are pressed in.. in reference to 'A' or 'V', once fitted, should the bush have an A- or V-configuration when viewed right-side-up..? ..given that the weight of the engine will either be pushing...

    4e-fte engine guide (including tolerances & torque values)

    i have been collecting information on the -fte engine for some time now and maybe i am not looking in the right places because my searches haven't been very fruitful. i have not found a document with all the engine information needed for a standard rebuild. i do have one for a 5e-fe but not for...

    oil pan: GT vs. glanza

    i have a couple of engines out from GTs and my glanza and have noted that my oil pan is narrower than the GT ones. on inspection, the oil pick-ups are also designed differently for the different oil pans. this leads me to think that the GT oil sump holds more oil, true..? also, does this mean...

    throttle plate removal

    before anyone skins me, i HAVE done a search on this and not getting relevant results, plus, trying to go through 1,000+ pages of results isn't too much fun. so, i recently came by an intake mani that had the throttle plate screws rounded off -- meaning, someone went at them and failed...

    another head gasket question

    anyone who's taken an engine apart knows that there are more coolant ports and flow paths than the HG allows us to use. question is why..? why build the block and head to have that many ports then not use all of them..? :confused:
