A work in (extremely slow) progress
If money goes the right way it will be in the car and everything decemberish, if not sometime in the spring. It just depends on how busy work is. Instead of getting the usual 17hr I'm getting 12. Isn't bad, but I'm missing that extra 500 or so every 2 weeks. The last parts o need are the most expensive.
Apexi Power FC
GReddy pulley kit
Gauges + Gauge pod
Lastly I'm going with the Garett GT35R.
I'm thinking while I save that I'm going to go ahead and fix the body so all the body lines are straight. And Dynomat the entire back and inside.

Update: So I cant check the damn ECU for codes because guess what, the damn green light on the ECU board is missing so even if I turn it to diagnostic mode I cant check it for codes. GREAT.
Symptoms of KA Problem:
Start the car up, about 10 seconds go by and it sputters out and dies. After about the 10th time, it will idle normally, and if i give it barely little gas it goes just fine, but if i drive it normally it like almost immediately sputters out and dies. And I cant figure out what it is. Cant check the ECU, Ive changed the spark plugs, check and cleaned dizzy, cleaned MAF. its still pretty bad. And its extremely annoying. It just has to get me back and forth from work for like 2 more months and the new heart can be transplanted in. lol
Anyone have and pointers ?

Put a bulb in the cluster and check for codes.

didnt work.
the past 2 days ive been messing with it before work while theres still daylight. I found a cracked vacume line, replaced it for 15 bucks ( yes a vacume line for 15 bucks thats like 5in long ) bought some sea foam cleaner and sprayed and scrubbed the inside and out of the throttle body, and adjusted the idle screw. works like perfect now. I mean it sputters pretty badly from 1-2K RPMs but damn its wayyyy better than before. It doesnt die constantly now. Im not really sure what else to try besides replacing the distributor and cap. and maybe plug wires. Thats all i can think of.
Is it still doing what it was doing in the vid you posted in chat?
Yea but not near as bad. Not sure what else I need to replace to fix it. I've checked all Caine lines, cleaned throttle
Body, replaced old vacumes. So idk what else to do.

I guess check plugs and see how fouled they are, wires, dizzy/rotor, check timing?
Im doing that tmo since im off. Fun day tmo.
But ive adjusted the timing and idle its decent now, I drove around today for about 2 hours just cruising and when it warms up its pretty good. still sputters from 1-2K lol but not too bad.
Boy is this thing fun to take corners with though.

Learned a lot in 10 years...I hardly log in anymore, last loginToday Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOLIf you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in2grfe Swapped...Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.@llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore.
It's in the car and running. Havnt driven it yet. I drove it like around the block, parked it, and now it just sits there and I start it ever other day for about 20minutes. I'm going to attempt sea foaming the car and see how that works. Only problem I have Is running it lol, I'm scared it going to die while i have it on and the throttle going. Lmfao. I think I'm just going to leave it in the garage, and DD the GT until I get the last parts for the SR. which is GReddy pulleys, ( ordering next week with gates belts ) power FC, injectors, bigger turbo I'm thinking Garett gt2871r.
Decided its time to put in the SR, heres some pics!
I loooove that how the red top SR looks. So sexy! Can't wait to see how it all turns out!

took alot of elbow grease to clean the gunk off it. Looks like sex though no lie. I think the clutch will be over kill.
Those bolts on the clutch are rusty as hell lol. What clutch is it?

exactly, I think imma try and sell it and go for a stage 3 or 4.
I'd say stage 2. My buddy has a Stage 2 in his S14 240 and he says it's the perfect balance, he's tried all but stage 4. But each person has a different leg lol

Im buying a GT3071R in January going for 400ish. I think Ill need atleast a stage 3.
Soooo I need a new turbo, the stock T25 is a goner, it wont even spin. Literally. I oiled it, took a impact to it to spin it and try and free it up, nothing. So0o0o say hello to my new turbo. Its tiny but makes perfect power for what im looking for with the supporting mods and has a super quick spool.
Good for 420hp which is plenty for my goals, and it has a internal wastegate so it fits my manifold perfect.
