2JZGTE swap this summer...

[kastein]

On a RENIX the ECU and some sensors ground there. I definitely have seen a rather large (would guess 8 or 10AWG) ground wire under that stud on at least one jeep however.

Was it there from the factory? I sure don't know :dunno: all my jeeps have been at least 2 or 3 owner vehicles with no real service history.

EDIT: it definitely is that way on my 88 MJ, and I suspect it is factory since the RENIX block has no mounting bolts for the ignition coil on the front of the block, as the ICM is mounted to the pass side inner fender.

That would make sense. I've only ever worked with 91+ 4.0s.

Yes, it has the large output wire that goes to the fusible link and pdc, it's just not outputing. One of the GRN/Or wires that comes from the ASD relay power output went to the Jeep alternator...and that gives 12v once keyed on. I'm gonna keep looking for a good aristo alternator plug pinout, then switch the other two wires.

I would toy with the "L" wire and see if you can get some charging. I'm not sure of toyota's strategy, but older fords had a problem if the charging bulb burned out. There may be something funky with how they designed that circuit to be completed. Best of luck!

Yeah, I felt it was a shame to see this thread almost make it to page 2 of the street and performance section.

[Super mud]

Shoulda swapped a v8 like larsen.

 

[child9]

@Super mud: Why?

:flame:

Shoulda swapped a v8 like larsen.

He's just being difficult. :twak:

Not exactly Jeep related, but it's what I've been up to. This is one of two exhaust tips made to come through a modified fab fours bumper on a Raptor that's in the Dubai International Auto Show next month.

As far as the Jeep goes, I gotta find a big coolant leak behind the head/engine, fix the IAV, get the alt working...but the engine is sounding really good and running better and better.

 

[Super mud]

How about this?

 

[Keithmania]

How about this?

This is just so wrong.

 

[larsen]

It's another japanese thing we don't "get". Hijack!

 

[child9]

LOL...if it was a mickey mouse, you'd like it more. Well, somebody would.

 

[Keithmania]

I get that its a hello kitty thing, but there is nothing ruggedly Jeep about that exhaust tip. Unless its a pink Mary Kay makeup version of a Jeep.

 

[Fastdemise]

You could use that exhaust tip with a flame kit. A fire breathing Hello Kitty would seem pretty rugged to me.

 

[child9]

I will build a propane injected flame kit to get a sweet blue flame coming out of the Afterburner tip. It will be fun.

 

[dukie564]

no...get this XXXXer running first...

lol
