    Nomad's N/A Build Thread.

    You don't have to take any extra stuff off the engine to take it out. Best to : Drain all fluids remove driveshaft, tranny mounts, fuel hoses, motor mounts, unbolt the exhaust from the Cats, remove ecu and pull the engine wiring through the firewall, remove all body to chasis ground...

    Single turbo, 1jz, Microtech, 2wd Toyota p/u....BIG PICS

    Nice base for a 1JZ - These trucks are pretty fast when done right with a JZ engine. One showed up at a track we went to with a 2JZgte .... blew off the motorcycles with a mid 9 sec run. Lots of potential.

    1j is overheating...help

    I also strongly suggest you look at the Radiator cap. !!! Mine was getting slight hot and I could not determine why until I looked at the cap. The rubber thingy was deteriorated and was almost falling apart. After I changed it, all issues of that were gone. I think this part is quite...

    Color Coded Spray Paint

    i think any automotive paint shop can do this as well. I know this has been mentioned to me before to go to a local automotive paint store and have them match the paint and put it in a spray can.

    Is there a Mods to Hp list like the 7M for the 1J?

    nah no boost leaks. That was checked over and over before going on the dyno. I suspect it is his Boost controller. He is still using the old school HKS boost controller which has 3 buttons and has dip switch in the back to adjust high and low boost. :biglaugh: :aigo::aigo: Prior to tuning he...

    Is there a Mods to Hp list like the 7M for the 1J?

    Explain why is it horrid??? How different are the numbers from the ones you posted??? How aggressive was your friends tune? Do you have it documented that he made why more than that? Maybe you should list your friends "Exact" mods even the hidden ones :biglaugh: What type of dyno? Tuning...

    To PPS or Not to PPS? Now, that is the question....

    PPS is not about how hard it turns or how easily in a parking lot. It actually controls the steering feedback at certain speeds .

    To PPS or Not to PPS? Now, that is the question....

    I'd say definitely go PPS if you can. I drove Supras without any Ppower sterring = Horrible. No PPS - its good PPS = best feel.

    battery question...

    I agree. Mine lasted well over 3 years without missing a beat. Also Die hard gold is great. Interstate Is a great one as well. Jst make sure you get the correct spec for the Supras. You definitley need the correct CCA for the Supras or else the engine will drad during startup.

    Initial Startup after Swap, What to do?

    Engine and tranny had fluid in it. Im sure it was drained just recently. Why would someone stuff dirt in it before selling it to him??? That is just stupid. I've seen this engine in person and the first day it arrived and that is what I am basing my recommendations on. If there is sludge...

    1jz differences

    Corrct. Aristo is front sump and will not work on Supras. If you get an Aristo motor , you will need to change the sump to a rear one and that can run you a extra 3-400 dollars. Harness is also different than the jza70 ones. Mounting brackets are different as well.

    Initial Startup after Swap, What to do?

    Guys..this is not a brand new or rebuilt engine. What's the use of starting and then draining the oil after 15 minutes??? Alex, prime it for a few turns with the ecu fuse out, then start it up. Have all fluids handy to top off. My suggestion is to use regular oil 5W30 -. Mobil one would be...
