I see you said you checked the plugs, did you gap them? Also how old are your plug wires?

Well I wouldn't bet my car on it, but I think they are both forged.

Yes you need to check it and with the jumper wire per TSRM. 10 deg BTDC is stock, you can bump it up a little, will help your low end.

Don't remember and you didn't list if you've set the timing?

A lot more than a new head. :3d_frown:

Are you using the GE ECU, or the Turbo ECU?

Newer cars are a little more advanced, and you're compairing a turbo to a non-turbo.

Not that I know of.

I think it's on the front of the TB, has normally a black cap on it, inside there is a screw. If I'm wrong JJ will get around to correcting me. :)

Well then "It Was Just MY Imagination.......Runnin Away With ME" Awh shit now I'll be singin that song for a couple of days :)

While we're on the subject JJ, it seems, , that when I first "get on it" it will run ok, and when I get on it the second time it will run better. My imagination? Or the ECU remapping to run that way? Oh and BTW the OP hasn't given much info on his problem for anything but speculation.

About 28 minutes, 21 seconds. :)

Pull the cam gear cover, check the marks, and verify that the #1 is at TDC, the crank pully is on the "0" mark, the rotor is pointing at #1 wire. Most times you will find the marks don't line up due to improper install of the timing belt. Then time it with a timing light per TSRM with the...

^^And did you get the head machined at least?

Probably needs the bushings changed, Billy M was selling a "kit", I got one but haven't install it yet.

A few have had good luck with JDM motors, I haven't. I got one and for having 30k on it it was pretty bad. I contacted the company and they said give it a try. The valve seals were bad the rings, and a lot of other things. So they sent me another. It looked cleaner but the same problems. So...

^^ Steel Fel-pro?? Didn't know there was one.

You didn't get a Supra motor if the mounts are different, you got a Cressida. As far as the EGR system, a lot say change it over, some say just leave it off. There's several threads about the purpose of it. Probably a few at the bottom of this page :) Nope I just checked.

Any set up I believe can be uppredictable, you just have to know it's limitations and yours. Good place to learn these things is on a track, xcross, something like that.

I think you need to read up on what the CSI does and when :)
