No, sounds like you have a different issue, have you chucked a code reader on? Could be maf related, try unplugging them and seeing if it makes much difference

​@@leedfollowMy tuner gave up lol. Checked and replaced coils, sparks, injectors, power going to injectors too. He said no timing or cam/crank sensor issues, and afr is fine, but I did check the computer and crankshaft sensor came up last night. Now I'm looking for random things. Do we have crank and cam angle and position sensors?😅 There's definately a misfiring going on in cylinder 5...comp test is fine tho. It's a bloody annoying one 😅

I believe its the later L2

Huh? No. Ultraleggaras are cheap wheels made by OZ. These are “Rays”. Rays 57xtremes. Rays are way more expensive/premium than OZ wheels.

Yeah we’re friends with Alex. We sold it to Taylor who then gave it to Rory and then they Auctioned it off via the AutoAlex channel. It’s changed hands a lot… is it worth £5k?…. Depends if you are able to fix it yourself or not. If you need to give it to a garage to fix it’ll become very expensive very fast.

Many thanks!

Cheers. Yes definitely. A noticeable reduction in movement when going on/off throttle.

Nope, afraid not. If you cleared the codes before you fitted the new sensors then you definitely shouldn’t see the codes return. Its possible your new sensor is bad. You could clear the codes then switch it around with one of the sensors from the other side of the engine. If the code then moves to a different place then you know thats the issue.

Welcome aboard :D

I went 240v as was never going to use them too far from the garage, I'd say 12v would work great for working at the track it if you are a mobile mechanic etc

Are you using the BRZ/86 manual box with your ez30? If so, I know you can bolt the box to engine with some modifications but do you know if the gearbox mounts to its original position and then it can use the original tail shaft or is a custom gearbox mount and custom tail shaft needed?

Nothing custom is required. Everything bolts up.

Cool stuff :) good luck!

@@jordaneversen3147 Okay so I'm using the original Auto Transmission. But the only modification I had to do to the gearbox to get it to fit is notch the EZ30 block to let the starter motor fit. One of the starter motor bolts also doesn't thread through to the block anymore so I had to tap a thread into the gearbox to get the starter motor to mount solidly. I've seen another guy mount his ez30 to the original manual transmission though. He basically had to make the same modifications.

Still planning on using the Raptor headers with an off the shelf 86 exhaust and mid-pipe. Its going to be easier for other people to follow my installation guide if I stick to off the shelf parts. But I will need to weld myself up a Y-pipe with a catalytic converter because there isn’t anything already out there that fits.

Thanks. Its great to be actually progressing now! :)

It doesn’t have a decat pipe. It’s got a sports cat.

I’ve used it so much more than I ever thought I would!

@@leedfollow yup the button on top of the spray nozzle is to take of the clear plastic sheild so you can clean under it people dont relize how much dirt is in there seats ,,i also have a full blown vax carpert cleaner thats a good bit of kit

They are really useful bits of kit, for the 370z they were bang on, if I'm being honest on some cars it can be a pain to get it in the air, for example if your very low you have to put it on blocks etc etc, if you are just doing a quick brake job it's a bit excessive but for jobs like exhaust or extensive servicing/work etc etc they are well worth it

Reason why reps are so obvious is because they do them in bulk….easy to get caught as I’m sure it’s illegal. On the other hand if they just make the one set then send them right to you…no problem

Thats fine if you know it’s fake. But if you paid the money for legit wheels you’ll want it to be legit.

@@leedfollow no for the fake forged wheels not at all. 1300 for full set. Only way you will know they’re fake is by stickers and looking at the inside hub and seeing there is no certifications within the Hub milling. 100 percent you will not know by just looking at face as it has all correct millings

@Candybuiltsi no thats not what I meant. I meant if you pay genuine price you’ll want genuine. So best to always buy from a reputable seller with a history of selling genuine goods sourced directly from the manufacturer

Yeah definitely. Sounds like you need to change at least one of them.

You should do yes. Just to factory torque settings.

How much is that couldnt find it online

@WanQer1 unfortunately I wouldn’t know now as I sold the MR2 a year ago.

@@leedfollow Ok, thanks anyways 👍

Looks like 29 ft/lbs - Ed

Thanks for sharing!

Could you tell me what the two thick black cables above the handbrake cables are.They look like brake pipes ?

@marcfrankel3946 they are the shifter cables that connect the gear knob to the gearbox.

Brilliant,top man.Great help & video.Can you change fuel pump by dropping tank rather than do it from luggage compartment.What do you think is easier ?

@marcfrankel3946 i’d say its probably easiest to change the fuel pump from inside the cabin rather than drop the tank. You’d probably still need to disconnect the wiring/pipes from inside the interior first anyway before you can drop the tank.

The man, the legend ;) Long time no see dude :) How much for a 1 to 1 tuition? :D lol I still need to come check out the Coffee Lounge!

Thanks!

Owning both I can confirm the 86 is far easier and more forgiving when the back end breaks loose. The RX8 is a lot more twitchy and can catch you by surprise if you’re not careful.

Good point :) Thanks for the share!

Thats the MR2 Roadster

Thanks! Glad to have you onboard!

I have thought that maybe in future a 2GR or 1UR/2UR would be a good swap. But in order to stick with the original spirit of the car an EZ30/36 would be more appropriate and simpler to install :)

Thanks. We’ll start with OEM (except the clutch) and see how we go, upgrading things where necessary.

Still on its way :) Just got a few other things to do first and then i’ll resume this project :)

Indeed, but generally its rubbish. Better to have in-device stabilisation.

@@leedfollow Action camera stabilisation would be better but I don't think they can squeeze it into small glasses just yet so post stabilisation is the only option if you want to smooth out your footage. I hear that Google Photo has some decent post stabilisation options as well as Davinci Resolve which has a free version I believe.

@PINACI i’ll just be waiting for the hardware to move with the times. There are glasses coming in the near future with built in stabilisation

Glad it helped

I didn’t even know you guys got this car in the US!

Unfortunately until I’ve completed the swap I wouldn’t be able to tell you how easy it is exactly but in theory its a very straightforward swap.

Stock 86 radiator is fine. No need to try to fit a Legacy radiator in there. But thanks anyway.

@leedfollow you will have to do extra Plumbing I believe. The legacy radiator has two outlets. I just thought it would look cleaner 🤷‍♂️

They are 3.5t so can take most weight, they do an extension so you can put longer cars on

@@leedfollow Yeah maybe. For me though when I’m doing stuff like that I don’t really want to use ‘add ones’. That applies even if those add ones are made to go with the product. For example I’d use only one block and not two and of course no extensions. A little OCD maybe.

Yup, all very good places to visit if you have the time.

Probably isn’t going to be a setting. The reverse switching is usually voltage controlled. Did you run the 12v feed from the back of the reverse light to the reverse trigger cable on the headunit? This is the issue that I had and I mentioned it in my video at the 8min mark. You need to supply 12v to the reverse trigger to tell the headunit you have put the car into reverse. Easiest way to do that is take power from the back of the reversing light.

Cool stuff :) Good to know!

If you can't put fuel in I'd guess it's a venting issue with tank and charcoal canister area, wouldn't put it down as anything electrical

@@leedfollow So, I was testing my evap solenoid and realized it doesn't have the issue where it is always opened. However, I realized it is not opening up even after about 5 minutes of running the engine (it is not sucking). I am assuming it is staying closed which is causing my CEL to come on. The passenger side of the evap solenoid should be open and i should be able to feel the sucking after running my engine on idle for awhile right? (how long does it take the purge valve to open up and vacuum?)

Totally :) Pretty sure Toyota positioned the MR2 as a cheaper Boxster alternative.

Thanks, but the technology isn’t dead. We’re probably going to see more new rotary engine cars from Mazda in the future.

@@leedfollow maybe with regular gas and no oil additives needed and last more than 85000 miles lol maybe

We all know you don’t maintain a rotary like a piston engine but they can last a long time if maintained correctly. There are piston engines out there that don’t make it to 85000 miles. And BMW piston engines commonly burn oil like rotary engines.

It's just under a foot I'd guess

Thanks ✌️

It’s coming I promise :) I’ve sideways steps into another project at the moment and all will be revealed soon!

Cool stuff. I was just unlucky with mine I guess. Lived its whole life near the sea.

Thanks! Glad the video is proving useful to people doing this job :)

Will be worth it though :)

Ah ok cool. Didn’t know that!

It can be disabled, It's all over TH-cam how to easily do it. The downside for me with the Raybans is that they only record in vertical.

​@@allthegearnotaclue Thanks. Any word if they will be coming out with a firmware update to enable landscape recording?

@@mahdman3 I don't think so, they are aiming at shorts and being Facebook/meta I don't think they are interested in that route, I'd love to be proved wrong though.

@@allthegearnotaclue thank you

Thanks for watching!
