The 1jz is truly a special engine, i just can't get enough of that exhaust note....When I'm hitting boost and the 1jz is turning 7k+ i get the feeling that it's in another league. no disrespect to dsm's, honda, mitsu..etc but the jz engines are in their own leauge..Im wondering how did I afford something that sounds and behaves so rich...im in love 
If there are any dobuters lurking keep in mind this is stock block, pistions, rods, head..etc and this thing is a beast!

Yeah fixed the running hot issue, i just had to flush the system.. i thought i did a good job cleaning the rad but i didn't..When i drained the rad looks like pure mud was coming out hose; man was it dirty i guess the 200 dgrees temp made the dirt and grim i missed loose.. i let the engine run with clean water going in until the system was clean.
The wideband I'm still fighting with, i checked my wiring which is only two wires, and everything was fine...but I'm still reading 15.2-15.7 under all conditions..which i know isn't right because i have black fuel residue on the inside of my muffler.. I'm keeping boost around 5-8 psi and until i can get a good reading..I think my sensor might be bad..There goes another $70 bucks...lol
Im pretty sure theirs a tread on it, but what all did you need for the swap? besides the engine, tranny, and drive shaft? was the wiring harness long enough? have you weighed it?
Same as with any swap..made a custom engine cross member, custom tranny mount, custom exhaust, custom front mount and piping..etc The stock supra harness was actually about a foot too long where i mounted the ecu so good to go on that...The speedo was plug and play, the stock z clutch master cylinder works the r154 just fine although i wish it was a little harder..You are correct the drive shaft had to be modified, i just took the yoke from the r154 to a shop and had them weld it to the stock z drive shaft, works great!! Need a rear sump oil pan on the 1jz..i think thats about it..kamikazemkiii;1574817 said:
I have not weighed the car but the 1jz+trans is about 150lbs more than the stock motor and trans; i have removed the stock z bumpers and mounts which are 100lbs, removed all the heater controls..etc, removed the stock gas tank in favor of a 12 gallon fuel cell... If i had to guess the z should clock in at around 2400-2500lbs
Looks sick...how can you be in Jacksonville and I dont know about this!? I drive a primer 240sx with a 1jz swap. Might have to meet up with you sometime.

I noticed the 'no leech' part there, but nothing comes up on that page, at least not for me.
