Hey dude, if your chasing info on the commo v6's street machine are doing a feature on them last month and this one. Pretty comprehensive articles on what makes power and what doesnt. G/L with your project dude. :)
Ah the common k-motor starter problem. Really easy fix mate. Just wire in a relay to the starter motor solenoid and you'll never have the problem again.
The wire toyota ran originally must be pretty crap cause ive had to do it too 2 of my corollas. Good luck mate :)
