    fresh 1jz swap missfirjng not building boost.

    Well it could be the ecu.... It could be the so many things its rediculous. I would open up the ecu and see if you have any traces burnt. I can't recall what you said about your plug gaps.... What plugs are you running and what are they gapped at? Don't say pregapped.... CHECK the gap. I would...

    jza70 rhd swap in a ma70?

    Yeah, my dash isn't perfect. That was the only downer to the purchase. Not real deep, but noticable. Also, didn't come with the center console.

    1jz idles but will not rev

    Unfortunately you are stubborn judging by the post after this one stating that you will be doing the same thing that you just did. So, basically, there is no getting through to you the need for this connector or any of the other ones. Maybe it's not the shortened wires. Maybe it's something that...

    jza70 rhd swap in a ma70?

    No worries. I was just merely stating that it was a pain. There is always more than one way to skin a cat. A bit of innovation and thinking outside the box possibly make a modification to the current design easier to reinstall. I have been thinking of ways around it for years, but I have more...

    1jz idles but will not rev

    When things like this are said in serious conversation I tend to believe that the person doing the work should stop doing whatever it is that they think is logical and take it to a reputable shop if they want their car to run properly again without any issues. I thought I had heard it all... NOW...

    no spark, no fuel injector and no CEL.

    Yeah, I would check main fuse and relay. Also, cam and crank sensors. Make sure both cam sensors are plugged in. Also I would make sure that there are no issues with your piggyback wiring as sometimes during transport those can come undone... Not saying that there is a problem with the way you...

    jza70 rhd swap in a ma70?

    I'm not sure how you did this without cutting into the cowl as the wiper motor is bolted to the cowl right above where the LHD brake booster is, hence the reason for removing the cowl. Wasn't easy for sure... And honestly I only took it out of the RHD vehicle and didn't install it in the other...

    jza70 rhd swap in a ma70?

    I did it in my spare time and it took me about a year to get it all correct (still a work in progress). It cost me about 5k and I did all the welding myself. My LHD car I got for dirt cheap with minor issues and a blown engine. I got the front clip from a guy in Miami on a deal because he wanted...

    aftermarket inner tie rods for mk3??

    You could try installing more threads via tap and die set and cut off the end of the inner tie rod in order to get more out of it. How far out is it?

    replacing control arm bushings - camber bolts stuck?

    Best way I have done these... and I've done quite a few - saws all with long blade in-between subframe and bushing, once both sides are removed - long pry bar to get it out, burn out the bushing and then CAREFULLY cut a line lengthwise in the bushing outer ring and knock out, install new bushing...

    Looks like someone beat the shit out of that car. My friend's subframe looked like that too.

    The "which o2 sensor" thread

    If anyone would like one of the 234-3052 sensors I can get them at wholesale prices for 90 plus shipping. I know it's not as good as internet prices, but just throwing that out there. List on that from NAPA is 147.23. I may be able to get the price reduced some more if we get enough buyers. Show...

    Over heating while driving

    It's been my experience that when vehicles overheat while driving at speeds on the highway that the radiator could be crystallized and causing there to be not enough flow to dissipate heat quick enough.

    1JZ wont turn over. Something seems seriously wrong.

    ^ Head gasket isn't blown... did you read his original post? He hydrolocked it. Good luck on the compression test. Probably did some damage trying to bump start it, but then again I had a few high end euro cars that had hydrolocked and I thought for certain I was going to have to replace their...

    Did not think it was this hard!!

    Well, just like flooding along the rivers here, if there is water damage to the vehicles you wind up with junk that noone wants because it takes too much money to get the moving pieces back to operating condition. Luckily we in the US would really only be interested in engines, transmissions...
