so, the largest window on the trigger wheel is somewhere around 36 degrees, largest value you can enter into the haltech is 32 SO! went to the junkyard and stole one out of a Hardbody Nissan:Subaru top, Nissan on bottom now the Nissan one is 180 opposite of the Subaru, so i put it in, installed the disty 180 out and moved the spark plug wires accordingly. and BOOM! it's way out of time and the fuel maps need adjustments. buuuuuuuuut it fires!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got a call from Scott at Haltech (from Australia) we didn't get it running but he showed me what I was doing wrong and did get it to spark consistently. which meaaaaaans. tomorrow after work this this is absolutely going to run!!! now to go home and count trigger wheel teeth

prelude lip? how does it match up on the backside?

that's a nice looking finger there

Sent the map to haltech, they made a few suggestions, ill try it again in a few days, other than that I'm still at a total loss.

Deltona eh? I used to live in DeLand! welcome!

ok so here is the update. CAS in the disty has been replaced Igniter replaced Pulled the disty and confirmed which wire is which. When you first turn the engine over you get 1v at the igniter causing a spark, it then immediately drops to .1v and stays there. Not sure where to look on this one

Justin, I get 12v to the coil. I need to further test the igniter. Gary, the CAS is working as when I crank it over the haltech reads the rpms. Also I'm afraid I don't have another disty to quickly swap.

ok, correction when you first turn the motor over you get one strong spark, then nothing. any ideas?

GAAAHHHH! i can't get the coil to fire!

RAAAIIIINNNNNNNN????!!!!!! FARK!

yea, it will shift. when i did the exhaust on the RX, i had everything super tight, pulled it down and welded it, now i have plenty of clearance everywhere EXCEPT the rear hanger, which it now smacks so i have to jump under there and cut it. i'm definatly a fan of things being tucked up.

muffler needs to be up higher, out of sight, looks good tho

Yea, they are. no differences between 3dr or RX. it would be easier to make a mold for carbon fiber hatch without everything attached. ACC belts in. water pump for IC is wired. Thermoswitch in the rad is in. Fan is in. vacuum from intake to ecu is ran. Wireing is done, well except a 6" lead to a switch, put in a battery, all guages and what have you light up and are ready to go. tomorrow will be throw the halltech in, load my base map, check the tank, add fuel and turn key. dont expect to drive it tomorrow as i have 1 oddball tire on it and the shifter linkage is partially disassembled.

double post

Huh, appreciate the heads up, looks like everything is a minimum of 400miles away, no surprise. They do list a white no spoiler/wiper for 150. Hmmmmm

Really hoping to fire this thing up on Sunday, so expect late night updates and poor overly tired grammar, is my work shift over yet??!!

Ah, i see. looks MUCH more dramatic on my phone

What's with the gangsta lean? Looks good!

also, another quick question. on the plug there are 5 pins. I've identified power, ACC, ON and 2 starts? the XT FSM shows a 4 pin plug while the RX is 5 pin, any idea the purpose of the 2nd start pin?

huh, didn't even think of that. thanks!

88 RX car had an issue with the wheel lock so my intentions where to gut the lock and reassemble, however I only managed to break the ignition switch, BUT the lock is out so mission accomplished. For lack of better reason I plan to wire a kill switch and momentary switch to turn it on and start. (Because racecar) now my question is these wires still attached: The two black wires at the top, what are they for and do I need them? Thanks

Oil catch can.. Done! Super nice looking RX tho!

Exhaust is totally done and bolted in Oil catch can is done and in IC to heat exchanger lines are in Grill put back on Air filter bracket fabed up
