Aristo swap gs430. (**** biter)
#31
Im having a no crank issue with the aristo swap in my 01 430, i have the tweaked patch harness as well- I wonder if it is related? i thought i would need to adjust the aristo shift rod so that it could sense park but now im worried i need to dig deeper into the harness..

If you could post or PM me details it would be much appreciated- I wasn't anticipating tracing the wiring from the 430 body plugs for the trans range switch or the injectors and coils
thanks
thanks

this website and aristo wiring will be your best friend. scroll halfway down the page till you get to the body plugs. theres three to pay attention to. you also might find that your alternator doesn't charge. those wires have to be switched around also. what ever you do, dont do anything except move wires around. dont cut and lengthen or anything like that. itll just make matters worse. and no you dont need to run a wire up to the ignitor. the ecm in f59 i think has a tach signal. thats what goes to your dash.

Ok thanks, I saw that one from earlier in the thread. I cant seem to find the 430 body loom pinout in the same format as it only has the 9 pin and 10pin body harness plugs; and how to trace where each lines up to on the 3 plugs from the aristo: the 9 pin, 10 pin and 12pin

great car
i was getting coffee this morning and walking back out to the car the lighting was just right and it was a must to snap a picture of my baby.
its running very well. but i did get one of the more higher mileage jdm swap motors because since the get go, its had oil leak problems. the valve cover gaskets were shot. puking from the first start up. fixed that. than after about a week the oil starting covering the front of the engine all down the bottom of the oil pan. gotta do cam seals. than to make it worse. about two weeks ago. the car started smoking on start up which means worn valve stem seals. not looking forward to that. gotta pull cams and hold the valves up while pulling all the springs and retainers. but i bought all oe valve seals and cam seals and timing belt so atleast once its done its all good. i really enjoy this car now though. its very quick to pass someone and even though im running the stock recirculation valve, the pshhh sound from it is so sweet. its hard though not to start plotting out single turbo options. but what i did do to get the most out of the performance was, went and got some stock 17's and some brand new 235/45/17 continental extreme contact tires. and that was a good move. car is much more nimble and responsive due to 12 pounds lighter rotational inertia on each corner. braking is better too. so happy camper here.

ya man, i think about selling it and doing something different alot but i know that this is a great car. just the fact that its 16 years old and the paint still looks amazing is testament to toyotas ability to do it right. plus domestic vehicles are not built well. i know. i work on them every day.

so going off the deep end now. decided i was losing too much power in the top end with my air fuel ratio going down to 10:1 at WOT which is like a failsafe for the aristo ecu. figured the best simplest route was to go with an aem fic 6. i have previous experience with the aem fic 8 platform and it is actually very user friendly. and can be tuned on the fly. you dont have to pull over and make adjustments than upload the changes. the purpose of the purchase is to take advantage of the injector intercept and lean out the afr's at wot where the mixture is too rich and costing alot of power. and also the fic 6 can alter the maf table so in the future when i go single and use a 4 inch intake pipe, the fic 6 can correct the voltage reading to the ecu from the maf sensor so the ecm thinks its still got the stock 3 inch pipe fitted and drive ability wont be affected. super stoked. i know enough about tuning afr's that by leaning out my mixture to closer to 11:5 will make best power and still be safe. id feel confident stating it should gain about 30 whp from leaning out the afr's. its the same thing as all the supra guys running safc's to do the same thing. but their tricking the maf sensor reading to achieve leaner afr's. im doing a safer way by just decreasing the injector pulse width. ill have it wired in soon hopefully.
