Hey there Im Jamie,
Glad I found a new club with a passion for the 4AGE,

Just thought id share some details about my car.
I have had this one for 12 years and its been through several builds over the years.
Started with a TRD 4K upright engine then some years later was converted to a Atlantic spec 4AGE and N2 TRD wide body kit etc.
Now in the process of updating the engine to TRD fuel injection!!

Thanks for the kind comments!

Over the past few weeks I have been fitting the new TRD throttle bodies, fuel pumps and new fuel lines etc.

only in NZ.

i have a haltech e8 on my racecar and i find it to be reasonably good, but it gets a bit of signal interference at idle with the factory reluctor type sensors. what sort of power does your motor make?

If your in New Zealand get a Link G4 they are a awesome ECU and you have the knowledge that you have great support in Christchurch.
