    the mystery of what killed my fuel pump

    I can think of three things. 1. He didn't put a filter on the bottom of the pump and dirt ruined it. It will happen fast if that's left off a new pump. 2. He pinched the wiring between the tank and the bottom of the car somehow and it rubbed through and is shorted out, or he didn't connect the...

    It was bound to happen, and a good move for this company I believe....

    Bleh. Damn 4 lug wheels. Make them in 17x9 +37 and 17x10 +37 5x114.3 and I'll buy some. They're nice looking wheels for the price.

    1JZ Mystery wires on intake side? Please help with ID

    Are these on the engine harness or the body harness? It looks like the engine harness, but I'm not sure. The plug you're holding in the second pic looks like the idle motor plug, but that's all the way at the back of the intake manifold, not up there. The cut plug I have no idea, same with the...

    Injectors?

    Seimens builds injectors for OE applications, they are also excellent injectors. So are Bosch, Denso, and Delphi (which are all OE suppliers). OEM applications have to be finely matched in flow rate in order to pass emissions tests required of new cars, and they're expected to last at least...

    Hp and MPG?

    With my HY35 I stay in vacuum going up mountains as long as I keep it below 3000rpm in 5th or go a gear down to bring the RPM up to where the engine has enough HP that it doesn't need boost. It was easier with the HX35, more lag, but then I HAD to keep it a gear down if I was doing less than...

    Upper Control Arms - Is that tar on the top to seal the ball joint?

    Good question, all that crap fell off of mine when I was scrubbing the grease off the control arms. I didn't do anything to replace it. I assume the stuff that was squished out was excess and there's still some inside sealing it up.

    1jz Diverter/Blow off valve question

    If you're talking about the big hose that should be connected to the BOV in those pics (but isn't) then it appears that the shop left you with a HUGE boost leak. That's the pressure side of the BOV. The 1JZ BOV is backwards from most normal valves in that the hose side is the inlet and the...

    Igniter issue, affecting tach?

    The igniter has a tach signal wire, check it for a signal. If there's no signal while the car's running the igniter is the problem. If there is a signal, find where the broken wire is between there and the dash. You'll need a tester to test the igniter, a normal DVOM won't cut it, you need a...

    Has anyone added a motion/shock sensor to the factory alarm?

    I'd like to make it so that the alarm will go off if someone tries to jack up the car, tow it, or smashes a window. I really hate aftermarket alarm systems though, as they are generally either crap, or require a ton of wiring and alot of time to install (or they are both). I was thinking about...

    New alt good fuse and only 12.05v

    The lamp out module won't make the alt stop charging though, it will just stop the tail lights from working or keep the dash warning lit up. The charge light comes on when the alt isn't charging, so find out why your alternator isn't working and that light will go out. The alt has a wire going...

    1jz alternator removal

    There's a wiring harness that's clipped to the back of the alternator too, but if the alternator feels like it's stuck on there rock solid then it's probably just corrosion between the alternator and the bottom stud that it slides onto. Tap the stud with a hammer and use some WD40 and it should...

    Clear indicators. Yay or nay?

    They'd look weird on my car though, but the smoke ones would blend right in nicely. I'm thinking I might just do the sidemarkers though, I like the stock turn signals. I wonder how reflective the aftermarket smoked ones are though. Don't want some dumbass running into it in a parking lot...

    Clear indicators. Yay or nay?

    I like them on cars that are already visually modded, but on mostly stock looking cars they seem out of place somehow. Anyone have any pics of the smoked ones? I was thinking of putting them on mine, I think they would really set the car off with everything being so black and dark already.

    A quick look at Vf1 values while cruising. Does this sound ok?

    Wait for the wideband. It's helpful to use the VF1 learned fuel trim output to get the fuel trims "centered" and to check the stock O2 sensor to see if it's working properly but for any sort of tuning or A/F readings you're better off just using the wideband. I also believe you're using the VF1...

    Droopy rear corner

    Check the front right corner for problems, or check the sway bars for damage.

    Going for big hp!!!

    I'm sure you can make 700hp. Get it to last longer than 30 seconds and I'll be impressed.
