I've seen some testing, the replica DENSO coils do crack and overheat. Toyota cancelled their coil production with Denso years ago, now the only OEM brand new coils you can get is through BOSCH, each coil costs 60$ or so, I'm ordering a set now as well. Almost made a mistake buying the fake...
I have to wonder, because I have similar issue, those hiccups when cranking, as if its losing power or something, mine does that sometimes and it POPS, and my idle goes to 2k on its own, quite weird, if someone knows what that could be, I'd really love to know lol

The car is stock, for what it is. It was an NA 7bolt 2g from Europe when I got it.. I turboed it with all the stock parts like many here do. Note I had this issue while it was NT.. It would go away and come back all on its own.. Very weird issue.. I am trying to set up link to log...
@pauleyman
I have logged it like a 100 times, no knock, timing is fine, TPS is fine and adjusted. The only thing I can see in that range when the car jerks is that all my fueling goes to 0, and I do have an idea that the jerk I feel is fuel cut when I let go off the throttle but I have no idea...
I am tired of chasing the issue and I have to try to get some answers here as I am not very inclined,You can see my build profile but to say in advance, 90% of the stuff is already replaced with new OEM stuff as I was fishing to fix the issue,The issue: The car has a big ass loss of power...
@spyderdrifter Yeah I know, the thing is, when I bought the car It had those chineze angel eyes headlights with halos and had xenon bulbs inside. They were 100% orange and dim weaker than the halogen bulbs. I found out that if the car is off, you turn it on, turn on the headlights, they will be...
@Widgmaster My starter failed on me 5 days ago (its been grinding for months) but I already had 2 OEM starters prepared and wanted to replace the factory wiring to 2 gauge instead of 4 gauge stock and replace the battery terminals since they were busted. (stock wiring was all frayed up and...
Whats up DSM fam, got some more issues I have to fix :DEver since I got the car, always had flimsy light output, despite installing the 80$ led bulbs into the OEM headlight, it was much better but never "that good" . As we all know, LED bulbs give pure white with a bit of a bluish tint to it...
Continuing my build...(At this point Im almost done)Here I was done but not satisfied on how it looked and performed, had a high cold idle (BAD FIAV) and unadjusted TPS, plus this ugly reservoir tank was bugging me so I ordered new parts again.(Got a new OEM EVO8 Knock sensor and both...
To continue my build post.(Took out the rest of the crap, windshield washer fluid reservoir which takes place where the stock SMIC is and the Fuse box)(Had a leak here, so I got a new oem thermostat with new gasket + sanded both surfaces clean and sharp)(Removed the radiator here which...
Hi everyone,
My name is Marko and this is my DSM story :dsm:Little background story about me and the car.
I come from a very weird (laws) country inside the Europe which is called Serbia WTF It isn't a part of the European Union hence why the following laws. I am not able to import any...
Boost source as in boost gauge? Im still running a stock GST FPR , if you meant on the boost gauge, it is set up correctly but since its pro sport electrical gauge it has a sender thingie which needs to be connected to the gauge. Thats the part that got installed wrong (it isn't wired together...
Working on getting the boost gauge fixed, what about spark plugs? I have a new set which I gapped myself (BPR6ES to 0.32 or 0.30 can't remember on top of the head).
I do have this log, I know it has knock, prolly because its still an NA engine with higher compression, running 100 octane gas...
Yes, no issues there. I am not talking about engine lack of power but there's no added turbo boosted power anymore. I did the turbo swap recently (this summer) with a little pedal push it will spool and pull with added power, now in 2nd gear rips when I do a pull (I never WOT) but I can't feel...
