    Anybody Have These Mods

    intercooler isn't going to gain you much on a stock turbo. I would keep the money, and spend it on a Lexus AFM and 550s.

    External Wastegates

    REAL HKS 50mm for me Runs ROCK SOLID. No creep or oscillation at all. For all of you guys worried about wastegates sticking, have you ever heard of boost cut? I run my GT40 at 1.25bar, and have the boost cut set at 1.3 :)

    I am sick of brakes

    There should never be any fluid in the area between the master cylinder and the brake booster. The gasket here is only necessary to keep dust and debris from getting inside. Silicone will work fine. If you're leaking fluid between these two, that's "normal", as there's a drain punched into...

    Anyone ever installed factory Recaro seats in their Supra???

    I cheated. I just bought the whole TT-R http://members.shaw.ca/annoyingrob/Supra%20Pics/Seat%20Damage/Seat%20Hires%203.jpg If you wanted to install some from a honda, you're going to have to do something about the sliders, and the seat belt, as the seat belt holster is attached to the...

    Car Hits Boost but doesnt Go...

    Intake air temperature, and coolant temperature. If you're throwing a knock code though, that's your problem right there. The ECU will pull timing because of it, losing you lots of power.

    box or clutch

    What's happening is the end of the transmission shaft IS NOT being properly supported. It has a lot of weight from the clutch hanging off of it. This puts axial loads on the internal transmission components that they're not designed for. Yes it can cause shifting problems as the input shaft...

    Car Hits Boost but doesnt Go...

    timing could be being pulled back. Are there any codes present? Is the CEL coming on? Are the knock sensors properly wired? Is the IAT and CLT sensor properly working? Are the cam lobes flattened out? What RPM does it spool by?

    How To Check An Ecu

    CHECK SOLDER JOINTS TOO! look very closely for cracked solder joints, especially on the connectors. It may be a good idea to just re-solder them regardless of what they look like. Alternatively, find someone with a known working 1JZ, and try your ECU in their car.

    Tach install

    careful tapping into IGF or IGT. If the tach impedance is too low, it will pull the signal low, and teh car won't run. The correct place to tap into it is the ignitor itself. The ignitor normally sends the signal to the tach. The standard wire is black with red dots on it IIRC.

    1j and 2j Twin flange size?

    If you have the turbo, trace the flange onto a piece of plate steel, plasma cut it out (or band saw), drill bolt holes, and center hole. Finished. I've been kind of wondering what a 1JZ turbo would do on my lawn mower actually :)

    1JZ Fuel System

    No. The stock FPR will do what it's designed to do, regulate the fuel pressure. Just because you have a bigger pump on there, it's not suddenly going to stop working. With the 550s, you'll be running RICH though. You best set the SAFC to pull the appropriate amount of fuel everywhere, and you...

    #3 and 4 cylinder not firing!

    Possible causes: -Bad wiring between ECU and ignitor -Bad ignitor (although unlikely) -Bad wiring between ignitor and coil packs (check those connectors on the coil packs! Cracks, or no locking clips, you should replace them all) -Bad coil packs (although I doubt it) -Bad spark plugs -Sticky...

    Need Advice on 2 step install

    so THAT'S why you wanted a clutch switch... What I did, was just got a 2-step with a speed sensor. That way, it deactivates when I go over 10km/h. No clutch switch needed :)
