Congrats on the hopeful fix! Now what does that picture show other than bugs. Is that a new wrinkle on the header panel? Results of some Bama heat? or just a reflection in the photo?

Starting a new job in the morning. Hopefully it will be OK. It might be more physically challenging than my old ass can handle

It's recommended that if you get a JDM motor that you plan on at least putting a head gasket on it before installing it in the car. I have heard that if you want to run without an EGR, that you need to have the JDM ECU, so you shouldn't have a problem using the JDM one

I took the car and put some 93 in it today. Also drove it on the highway for a couple of miles (expired tag and all). No more popping during boost!! A requested civilization, out of the neighborhood photo:

Thanks James! If you also use the link provided in that thread, it takes you to JSeaman's step by step instructions. He is doing it on a turbo motor, and mentions it is all the same except for the distributor/CPS. I will be adding some 93 tomorrow, and fine tuning the idle to the best of the...

I finally made the sumbitch run right for the first time in 2 1/2 years

Pictures of all of the different connectors is within the thread I linked

I typed a long disclaimer when I posted that link.........I wonder where that went What I said was I definitely don't recommend doing what you are doing. It's true the body plugs are all different, and if I recall, there are 6 connectors on the motor end you have to replace (cost me $60-70...

Not sure what , but it seems like I remember that something in the diagnostic block should be jumped when setting your timing

I will be having a small personal celebration at my brother in law's tonight. I got my timing light to work again this morning, and I got it timed to 10 degrees BTDC, and it idles now worse than it did before making that small adjustment. As I type that, it hit me, shouldn't I have someting...

Rear Bumper /end thread

I've got 1 or 2 of those if you need 1

It runs..Idle Demon is now Dead! All it needs now is a working timing light. I took it out for a ride and brought it home idling like it should. That's been the problem for a long time. Today, I set out to do everything possible to fix the idle that has plagued this car for as long as it has...

NICE ASS!!! BTW.....Restart went quickly

It would suck to be on a bike, and get beat off the line by a Prius

I'm in love! 2JZ in a MKIII is a fat pig with a badass motor, and it's overdone. 7MGTE in a MKII is a much lighter car, still with a badass motor. This looks like a build I may one day need to reference. Your time slips don't give any indication of which car you were.

Here's another vote for anti-paint! I used "Aircraft Remover", which is sold at auto paint stores in aerosol cans to strip them. It's about $10 a can, and I believe I used either 3 or 4 cans total. Spray it on, let it sit, rinse it off. I think I hit 2 or 3 tough spots lightly with a brillo pad...

My advise for eaby parts........stick to stock used items! Anything aftermarket is (to me) counterfeit, that's why it is cheap

I totally understand Ken. It's kinda like my profile pic STILL being my grey car
