  1. PS i just wanted to post a little about my experience with WORKS. Im upset that they were unable to track down my wiring problem BUT SO WERE THEY... It means so much when you find a group of guys that want to solve a problem with as much effort as they did. It shows how AWESOME they are as a shop and i want you all to know I hold them in the highest respect!!!!! if you need anything worked on I recommend them in a heart beat!!!

  2. well we have tried a couple differnt aem ems's and they all still rev limit at around 250-3000 rpms. Im tired of this problem and bit the BIG bullet and got a NEW wiring harnes ordered today from toyota. yes i bought it straight from toyota! I hope the harness is my saving grace...because im at wits end about this goast rev limit. Currently the car is at my friends house. He is a 2jz gurue and sitting next to my car is a lexus sc300 with at least 800hp that does 10's....so i feel im in good hands.

  3. Is the car still having the same problem? Do you have a copy of the calibration you can send me? Go to Sensors>Cam/Crank Sensors>Advanced Cam/Crank>Advanced Pickups and do a log of the problem occuring, see if the parameter Timing Errors increases rapidly. Its normal to see a few timing errors during startup, but during idle and any kind of driving there shouldnt be any timing errors. If your getting timing errors email me the calibration and I will take a look at it. xeviltomx at hot mail dot com

     

    i will have to get back to you on that

  4. Alright guys I just got off the phone with WORKS. They told me that the car revs to redline now but still has problem areas they cant seem to figure out why it breaks up at those rpms. They have done a basic tune....and have had them go through the wiring harness to the best on their abilities. After 1400 dollars the car still does not rev smoothly and they feel its still something in the wiring harness (most likley something i have not touched). They have tested all the sensors and say that "everything they can check says the car should be runing great".

     

    so at this point im frustrated at spending money with not alot of progress. I still reccomend WORKS because they were great to work with but im a little bent out of shape because my problem has not been solved.

     

    i have been told i should "start over with the wiring"

  5. Just by reading about your wanting a daily drive i would REALLY consider a L28et. IT will BOLT in... you put big injectors, big turbo,maybe cams/intercoolers....you will pull from an SR at half the price AND half the difficulty scale. Parts will be cheaper and easier to get your hands on... your car will be down for HALF the time and you can drive it to work.

  6. So far I have spent

    ====$$$14,765 and thats just the stuff i can think of......

  7. WORKS sounded like they made some progress on the car today. There were many small issues it seems. Some Of the pin outs on the ECu block had to be moved around. MANY grounds Were not flowing voltage well. The Stock tune on the ecu was not good enough for my motor. PLus im sure MANY other small things they didnt even go into. But Apparently the car Revs completey to redline now 6-7000 rpms. It still has some hiccups along the rpm band tho....should i let them continue with a tune?

  8. LOL you have not been used!!!!!!!!!!! the car is still at Works....i talked to them Yesterday and they said they found "anomalies" in the wiring. I have no idea what that means but they said they tested the sensors and found them to be working properly. BUT i just talked to a good friend today (who has a 800hp+ lsc300) And he told me to ask them if they used a Lab scop on the crank sensor to see if the single was changing at all at the rev limit. Apparently you can test a crank sensor's restisntance and it still be in spec but still be a bad sensor. So i have to call them back tomarrow and check and see what kind of test they did to my sensors.

     

     

    Boys, we've been used. :shock:

     

    :mrgreen::burnout:

  9. it did rev perfectly until 2000 rpms then hit the "brick wall". But since WORKS changed the tuning on the ecu it now revs to 3500rpms and hits a "brick wall". Wouldnt this fact alone cancel out a mechanical problem like the teeth not meshing up with the sensor correctly?

     

     

    Also they stated when driving the car under load it seems to limit around 2500 rpms now.

  10. Well WORKS has the car now and they have gone trough the maps extensively. The car now revs to 3500 rpms instead of 2000 rpms. So we have come to the conclusion there are at least two problems. --- the tune was making it limit at 2000rpms. Which is now fixed. By swappn ECU's with my friend it limited at 3500rpms as well.

     

    but it now limits at 3500 so they are going to go into the sensors.

  11. Not it wouldnt slowly get worse before the rev limit....it would reve just fine until it hits a "brick wall". Right now the car is at WORKS getting run through...i hope they can find something. where are you located?

     

    It sounds exactly like a standalone car hitting the next load cell that is way too lean. It will act like a brick wall; almost. Does it feel like you can be a hair under the 'limiter' before it breaks up all of the sudden or does it seem like it gets worse and worse over a short span of rpm and then it takes a bit more throttle to push it another hundred or two rpm? If so, it's probably just dead lean in the next cell. That's why the other ECU was different. Different map. What are your AFR's when it's doing this? Did you try fattening it up?

    Big fat injectors don't need to be very far off to be dead lean. Make sure you bump fuel by percentages with those fat squirters. I've idled 1200 cc injectors on a 2 liter 4 cylinder with the AEM.

    (AEM cert tuner) :wink:

  12. My goals for now are to make around 350hp of reliable street power. This wont be a dally driver but it will be driven often. The budget is about 10 grand but we all know how that goes. As for welding skills I have some and my best friend is going to school to be a welder so I got that covered. I’m planning on using the beta motorsports 2nd cross member and fabing my own trans crossmember. I’m also planning on a set of bad dog frame rails. Trying to find a motor has been causing some problems. I’m nervous about just ordering a motor online without any idea about its history. Has anyone tried any of these sites?

     

     

    I got my motor off a company that was on ebay..but they had a PHONE number so i called it in!!!! search and search and only by from a phone number...i got mine from some canadian company but just talking on the phone with someone you get a feel for what they know/dont know bout the motor they are selling you.
