also check your dizzy cap

http://members.iinet.net.au/~athird/dizzy.jpg

this is how i found mine, got a new one on the way.

But the white is bad i.e corrosion.

Umm... I'd dispute this, while my memory is shocking, I'm fairly certain that when I obtained my new dizzy cap I was surprised to note that the colours inside each connection matched the mixed gold/silver inside my old cap. Perhaps someone can shed some light on this. Although of course yours may be white rather than silver, it looks to me in the photo as though they are just silver *shrug*

Of course having the dizzy cap held on by one screw might not have helped my cause either Smile

(sigh) New leads, new plugs, new dizzy cap, manual conversion, boost kit, exhaust, no filter... and I still get my back bumper gradually coated in soot :\ Even running 18psi doesn't help...

Also the fuel/boost cut seems overly variable... it used to be cutting at 17-22psi depending on weather/temperature (obviously) yet this morning when I was doing some testing and fiddling the needle went right off the clock of my 20psi boost gauge o_O and no fuel/boost cut in sight... admittedly it wasn't a cold morning, but still thats pretty shocking... it was oh so tempting to leave it set to that too Very Happy

But I'll be nice to my engine (well as nice as *I* can be Wink

) and keep it to around 18psi until I get a nice COLD day and then see where my fuel cut sits so I can set it for worst case scenario and know I'll never hit it again Smile

And then maybe one day in the near future I might actually put my car on a dyno and hope for 150rwkw+ (well dreams are free Smile

)

These old 1G-GTE's seem to be "interesting" engines... here in NZ nobody really seems to do much with them, in the states don't even know they exist, in oz you guys are doing some funky stuff... curious to see just how far they can go before I need to upgrade to the ol 1JZ... although its all money down the drain testing/modding the 1G-GTE and then spending up all over again on a 1JZ :\
