    2j wont start

    If you've verified that the CEL wire is connected correctly to the ecu and nothing is working. Either the Diagnostics wires are messed up(wiring error), the ecu is bad, or the ECU isn't powering on (wiring error). Verify the ECU is powering on first, make sure you have the wiring for the...

    1jz misfire, no idle help. Messed up tune?

    You probably messed up the tune on the ecu. Call up your tuner.

    2j wont start

    The COR is for the fuel pump and doesn't deal with the ecu or spark. I would assume your harness is wired wrong, and the ECU isn't coming on.

    WHP difference between Stock JDM and US 2JZGTE's..

    Yes, jdm turbos suck, usdm turbos are better. JDMs will max out about 400-420whp where as USDMs will max about 450whp. If you plan on staying with the twins for a while go USDM. If you want a single turbo eventually just stick with the JDMs till they blow and go single, or just go single from...

    How much HP will i gain with cams?

    On the street the car will feel like ass then, yea 5-6k might be a bit stronger but sub 4k (where you street drive) will feel like ass. If I'm going for boost, I'm not going to tease my self with a small hit. I'm going full kill off the limiter. But that may just be me.

    How much HP will i gain with cams?

    I dont think the mid range power makes it feel that much faster really, its the top end. Being able to rev past 6500 with some amount of power is what made the 1j feel like a real engine rather then a waste. But this was with a decent sized turbo on my old car years ago.

    stupid cheap ebay gaskets

    Didn't really read the thread, but on my 92 I put cheap ebay gaskets on it (didn't think I was going to keep, was planning to swap a 2j in, lol). I used pretty much everything minus the headgasket. Running good now with like 25k miles. At about 20k miles I had a bad oil leak from the valve cover...

    How much HP will i gain with cams?

    I would say more like 10 with a loss of that on the bottom end.

    How much HP will i gain with cams?

    Not much, the turbos are out of breath up top where the cams make the hp.

    2JZ cooling issues, is it my electric fans set up?

    I had the FAL 220 fans on my old 2jz swapped car with stock twins. It cooled fine with the stock radiator. When I had the a/c on full blast in 95+ heat and on the highway it would run warm (215-220 via aem). I would say its your fan shroud design, it looks like there is no shroud really just a...

    Is there any REAL advantage to a dual split downpipe?

    Not sure your intent on this post(mocking, or agreeing). I agree there isn't that much to be gained with smoothing the turbulence behind the turbine. Money can be spent else where that would be far more effective. Essentially you're paying for the sound. Undirected flow. Instead of going...

    Is there any REAL advantage to a dual split downpipe?

    Have you read my post? The dyno in this thread shows that there is no decrease in spool time, infact it very slighly increases it. Placebo effect from the sound. What are you talking about? The outlets of the stock turbine and wastegate will max out well before a regular 3" pipe would. The...

    9.1:1+ on boost 10-12psi

    You should be fine. If you think there might be a problem set your base timing @ the distributor @ 6-8*.

    Is there any REAL advantage to a dual split downpipe?

    It helps to read the posts made. Same to you.

    Is there any REAL advantage to a dual split downpipe?

    I dont understand what you're saying, if your car was stock and you put a 3" dp (or ddp) with an exhaust on the car you'll see huge gains. But if you're saying spool and what not of a DDP vs DP you can see in the dyno posted by Randy that there is no decrease (if anything it says the opposite)...

    Limiting 1st gear wheel spin - ideas?

    Even with active traction control, I dont think beating a AWD car off a stoplight is going to happen.

    Is there any REAL advantage to a dual split downpipe?

    Prove what? The max out part or the extra boost caused more hp on the dyno he proved to show it makes more HP. The only way the DDP benefits anything is the lack of flow at the wastegate side causing the boost creep in the first place. Now I admit after thinking about it, this may cause a bit...

    Is there any REAL advantage to a dual split downpipe?

    As I said on a stock car it might gain hp, but thats clearly from the boost creep. Max the turbo out and there will be no gains from the DDP vs a standard DP. The car dynoed obviously has problems looking at the dyno graph, so I wouldn't bank on those dyno results anyways.
