Update: August 5th, 2014....A day which will live in infamy!!



"IT LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S ALIIIIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

LOL...

So first, we tackled the issue of getting cam and crank count signals to the AEM software. The primary culprits were a bad ground on the 7M-CPS wiring and the CPS itself needed to be adjusted internally to tighten the gaps, which was why I wasn't getting "crank count" signals before that.

From there, the "Stat Sync'd" signal in the AEM software wouldn't stay "ON". Turns out some of the igniter wires were wired incorrectly by Chase Bays which was causing a back-feed of signal or sorts. With the AEM software, once you have stable cam and crank signals, the "Stat Sync'd ON" is what then allows the injectors and coil-packs to fire.

From there, it was just a matter of getting the right tune loaded into the software.

Since my wiring harness, coil-packs, igniter, and ECU are all 2JZ-GTE...I ended up having to go with one of the 2JZ-GTE specific tunes that is provided by AEM when you install their AEM Tuner software.

For reference, out of the two Supra they provide, the one that worked called "6100 Supra MT 3.5 Bar MAP.02v02".

None of the wacky 2JZ-GE NA-T tunes or 7M-CPS specific settings I've been reading on the forums worked. It had to all be 2JZ-GTE specific.

Once the car started I could rev it gently but it wouldn't hold an idle, so I tweaked the Q45 throttle-body a bit and that was all she needed!! Next step is to set the timing.

So right now I'm asking Jared @ Speed For Sale to provide me a tune that's a little more specific to my setup that I can at least drive the car on. The first place I'll be driving it to is to get a 4-wheel alignment. lol...after that, I'll be bringing it to Speed For Sale for a full-on dyno tune. That's the plan, at least... lol

Over the next couple weeks my brother and I will be focusing on wiring up other components like the gauges, etc., and doing some final plumbing. From there it's just a matter of cleaning it all up, tucking wires, etc. Lots of smaller knick-knack items and parts runs, you know how it goes.. lol

So yeah...SHARE IN MY GLORY!!!!!!!!! lol :P

More to come!
