I didn't see any answers to your original fuel system question... so here goes... You need either the MKIV TT fuel injector resistor pack, or the MKII 7MGTE resistor pack to run those high impedance injectors (using the stock 1JZ ecu with a piggyback anyway). If you still have the stock fuel...

I was just looking at the BOV VTA job that the previous owner in japan did on my 1jz. Then I realized.... wait.... it's backwards. :3d_frown: Apparently the guy knows nothing about how a turbo system works, cause he blocked off the pressure side of the bov and vented the part that goes to the...

Yeah but if one sticks open or the arm pops off the other turbo has to work overtime to hit full boost. Like way overtime. Possibly even enough to blow the turbo if you're unlucky. If the wastegate arms are bent they could stick, or if there's something stuck in the wastegate flapper. I even...

Thanks, I just prefer to do the wiring on swaps myself. Not that I don't trust other people to do it for me, I just enjoy doing things myself. I've done other JDM engine swaps before, but this is my first 1jz swap.

Thanks, I picked up some at the salvage yard when I was getting the camry throttle cable.

Trying to figure out the wiring on the under dash plugs for my early 90's soarer 1JZ auto into my 87 supra MA70 auto (w/ 5 speed swap soon). Can't find a soarer wiring diagram other than the ecu plug, so I was hoping the sc300 was the same. Anyone know?

After reading through this thread I'm a little confused... is the info in the OP correct or not? I'm wiring an early 90's 1JZ automatic soarer into an 87' MA70 automatic.

I'd say the pop you heard was afterfire (fuel burning in the exhaust). When you let off the throttle really fast the car cuts spark and the fuel that was headed to the engine to be burned shoots out the exhaust. When the unburned fuel hits the hot exhaust system sometimes it lights off with a...

I think I saw this about a week ago in the spotlight section on Xbox live, but didn't watch it cause I was in a hurry to get onto MW2. This is terrible... the only proper justice would be for the police to put her in a dumpster with an angry tiger circling around the outside and leave her there.

A filter will not make the fuel coming out of it any dirtier than it was going into it. It doesn't matter if it's a new filter or an old one, if the particles are too small for the filter to catch they will pass through anyway (and if they are that small they will also pass right through the...

It's harder for heavy carbon to stick to a well polished surface. I've taken engines apart with polished vs unpolished combustion chambers and pistons and in the polished engines the deposits are always thinner and usually flake off very easily (usually just by rubbing with my fingertip). I'd...

Back halves are interchangeable, but not all the same. My A340E driveshaft back half is much thicker than the W58 rear half I have sitting around, but they will still interchange. Not sure what (if any) implications this would have on how much power the driveshaft can handle.

Thanks. If those ecu's share similar plugs with that many other cars then there's go to be something in the u-pull-it with the same plugs as this. I emailed the engine importer and it seems like he might be getting me a plug from a spare harness anyway now though, but I might hit up the salvage...

I need a spare ecu plug for my soarer jzz30 1jz ecu, one is crushed on my JDM engine. Is there anything else that uses the same plug body that I can use to swap the pins into? I have a local u-pull-it yard that has a bunch of common toyotas and lexus stuff (no supras or sc300's though), I was...

Well, technically, yeah, it will drop in with just the new mount brackets. You just need a couple hundred bucks worth of other little junk to make it run. Still, it's an easy swap compared to alot of the other engine swaps out there. Just make sure you buy a rear sump 1jz from a JZA70 supra (or...

Proper head gasket thickness is also important because it affects valve timing. The cam and crank sprockets for the timing belt are designed to be a certain distance away from each other and if you move them closer or farther away it will advance or retard the cam timing. You can correct it with...

Low octane won't hurt anything just idling and driving under no boost. Sounds like your timing is off to me, did the t-belt jump a tooth or did the cam sensor come loose? I'm not familiar with the cam sensor on the JZ engines, but most cam sensors have adjustability, and if the bolts come loose...

Looks like it was just tar and chipped. Great for grip after it sets in. Tears tires up though.

Sounds like the timing to me.. a backfire out the intake is usually from the timing being wrong. +1 on the spark plug thing. It's a common misconception that the OEM knows best. The truth is, Chuck Norris knows best. Er... well. Just don't use platinum plugs. Toyota used them to extend...

Oil smoke can appear whiteish sometimes... so maybe you're lucky and it's not a BHG. Just make sure the oil feed for the turbo isn't kinked or clogged, or your other turbo could go bad too.
