Been for a bit of a drive :) Hamilton - Russell - Cape Reinga -Whangārei - Hamilton over 3 days, 1300km Gave it a clean first: Didn't last long! It rained for most of this trip :( Managed to bring home some Northland Dirt too :D Tomorrow starts another road trip!

You'll still need a base tune on the microsquirt to get it running. The place I got mine from took a bunch of engine specs and loaded a very rough base tune based on their supercharged MX-5. I think a true piggyback system like the Split second controller will do what you're after :D

Any extra power from using the microsquirt is probably coming from the supercharger hanging off the engine :D I'm mainly using it to correct fuel mixtures for the added boost and have a very safe tune at the moment - need to get the car on a dyno to fine tune and fix any errors :) It's an...

Megasquirt / microsquirt is also an option, although it is very DIY and not many tuners will work with it. My car is running a microsquirt on top of the factory ECU. The microsquirt handles the injectors, ignition and fuel pump. Factory ECU handles everything else. It took a bunch of setting up...

Red car has 2nd gen (2008-12) Atenza wagon brakes all round, with the rear calipers swapped sides and custom handbrake cables - worth it for the extra disk area but a bit of a pain to setup initially Blue car has 1st gen atenza sedan front brakes and stock rear calipers :) The last gen (97-02)...

Ten year old post, they might have sorted it back in 2013 👍 For Mazda6 rear brakes, custom handbrake cables are needed, from memory the mazda6 cable doesn't quite fit. Bleeding them properly is a major PITA too :)

I don't think there's any self-resetting circuit breakers in the OEM system, which would certainly act like you're describing. And I doubt there's a protection circuit in the Optima battery itself that's doing it. Is it just hot starts or just cold starts that trigger the issue? Actually, the...

Hmmmmm, a complete cut of power could be the battery or terminals? Or an earth issue or the main fuse isn't happy. Weird that it will reset itself, which kinda points towards a heat related issue.

Nice! How much work did the Toyota transmission take to adapt? I spy a bellhousing adapter, are the drive splines close enough / the same? Looking forward to seeing how this goes 👍

Anything can be done for enough cash and if you don't need it to pass any road inspections :D There were 1 or 2 Honda B16 swapped Proteges around years ago but practically nothing else There's a factory AWD P5, some of the JDM Familia Sport20's came in AWD, manual and with the FS-ZE engine...

From memory for a full system it should be around 2 1/4", axle back could be around 2 1/2" as that's easier to find :) someone else may be more knowledgable about the mufflers, mines a second hand no-name cannon :D

+1 on a DIY or exhaust shop option, especially for an axle back system 👍

@pcb and @katapaltes OEM seals used, cheap as chips with a trade account :P no signs of leakage yet. Misfire/stumbling issue was indeed coil packs, swapped the NFG units to some suspect spares to get it going, got some cheap coils and leads coming in from Aussie 👍 Car did NOT pass it's...
