    Sway Bar End Link Differences

    Sorry Jeff, was going from memory :) If you're dead set on the sway bars being parallel to the ground, they won't swap. If the car is lowered they'd work, but you'd still have issues with the front. I might take a look at the miata and see if they'll work...

    Lol am I missing a part that bolts on the head?

    It's a myth that EGR causes #6 to blow as there is extra cooling capacity to the back of the head specificly for that function.

    USDM ECU is tuned for the EGR to be there, and yes, you'll fail emissions without it.

    N/A>Turbo problems

    No way the NA ECU is going to function under boost well. There's a reason Toyota had 2 different electronics setups... Also, a standalone works on anything.

    Sway Bar End Link Differences

    Get a good set of allen wrenches, never had an issue ;) Plus, they're not supposed to spin too easily, if they do, they're worn out. In fact, mazda uses similar endlinks and even has a test for them. If the torque needed to tur them is below a certain spec, they're replaced, same for the ball...

    Few simple Lexus AFM questions

    Yep, and that extra processing power also allows the ECU to do more by itself instead of set tables. Of course that adds cost that most people here don't want to spend... It also helps to learn how to tune and do it yourself. Full standalone gives you tuning abilities that a piggyback could...

    Which exhaust nuts do you guys use?

    Stock is crimped and tends to not back out. Best if going to be wired though.

    Sway Bar End Link Differences

    No, they won't swap. The angles are different (ends on the back are 180 degrees form eachother, the ones one the front are more like 90) Keep in mind I'm going by memory, but I'm pretty sure that's the case based off the EPC diagrams as well. Why are you asking Jeff?

    Lexus 2jzge swap?

    What what? 7M sounds better :p

    Few simple Lexus AFM questions

    BS, modern standalaones have much more processing power than the stock ECU. Once tuned, they can be much better than the stock ECU (keep in mind this takes a lot of time and tweaking)

    Bike Rack Maybe?

    I've seen roof mounts and of course hitch mounts (yes they make hitches for our cars)

    Thinking of Stroking the 1j

    Up until a few years ago, it was pretty difficult to wire in a 2JZ as well. Regardless, with the dwindling supply of JDM front clips to do easy 1JZ installs for relatively cheap, it's usaully more cost effective to go 2JZGE-T on 7M-GTE electronics. Though I'm sure the 2JZ electronics are far...

    Lexus 2jzge swap?

    The VVTi seems to be an annoying hurdle to get past, plus the block isn't as strong, so people tend not to go for them (as most people are going to boost a 2J)

    7MGTE oil pressure

    Eh, stock gauge isn't bad, it's just terribly slow and probably out of spec from age.

    Thinking of Stroking the 1j

    Main reason 1.5JZ was used was to cheat the system in JDM land. Bigger engine without looking like a bigger engine.

    Oil leak from hole in front of engine

    Bigger turbo = more boost = more blowby = more need for PCV

    7MGTE oil pressure

    Been the exact opposite for me...
