ForeverPsycotic's 1j Swap

[foreverpsycotic]

It went through the speedo hole on this one, but it could reach through the normal hole if I straitened the harness and removed some wires. The 2jz ecu adaptor added about 10-14" to the harness.

This project is now on hold, until my plans go through.

looked threw the whole thread looks like your going to have a beasty 1jz cant wait to see some more videos keep up the good work....

 

[suprahero]

Here's hoping your plans go through. Contact George about going to Texas if you get a minute. He's trying to see who all is wanting to meet up.

 

[jugodegolf]

Woot!!! for new direction Mike.

 

[foreverpsycotic]

This project might be headed into another direction, the For Sale direction. I found something locally that is next to impossible to pass up, the problem is that the supra will have to go if I pick it up.

It is no where near the supra family though, yet will equally as fun (if not more)

 

[Poodles]

I'ma slap you...

 

[foreverpsycotic]

It is not a mustang or a RX7. I think I will be safe. It is something FAR cooler than both of those.

 

[Poodles]

I thought for SURE it was a mustang.

What is it, spill the damn beans already!!!

 

[foreverpsycotic]

Its a 73 nova
Full roller w/ interior and posi the guy wants 2500. I am going to pull a MKIII owner and lowball the shit out of him.

 

[foreverpsycotic]

No nova, the condition it was in is something I felt comfortable spending money on.

The build with the supra shal continue!

1 year resurrection bump.

Paid for a KevinM sunshade today. Time to blow the dust off the car and get to working!

 

[foreverpsycotic]

Just paid for some 550s, the only thing I need to purchase now is new exhaust tubing and some IC piping. Thinking about doing a 3.5" catback and having my wastegate recirculated.

 

[Bigzavs]

3.5" definitely lends a unique sound, youll like it. (youll especially like the ground clearance)

 

[foreverpsycotic]

I figure that if I do it myself (or subcontract a friend, heh), I can tuck it up nice and neat. Besides, there is a part of my exhaust that comes about 2" from the ground now. Stupid bend...

 

[foreverpsycotic]

More stuff ordered. Since the last update, I have ordered a new turbo blanket and an injector resistor box. Thinking of switching away from the XSpower wastegate and going with a JGS wastegate. A lot of domestic guys have luck with the JGS units. Still figuring out what to do about a BOV, if I am going to run the DM freddy I have, the twin DSM units I have or if I want to get another one.

 

[foreverpsycotic]

Made a decision, buying a JGS wastegate next paycheck. I just bought (from Driftmotion) an AFPR kit for the 1jz, 10 new exhaust studs (I need 2 bolts instead of studs for my manifold due to clearance) and 6 new injector clips to make wiring in the resistor box easier.
I am going to run my 550s, the walbro 255 and the afpr, hope that gives me enough fuel for what I need.

 

[foreverpsycotic]

Ordered a ProSport Oil Pressure gauge and a DM 1jz > 1/8npt hose to run the sender. Slowly but surely the parts list is coming together.

 

[airhead04]

Careful with that prosport gauge. Ive owned 2 of the electronic oil pressure ones. And both read off by 15psi..... I checked with my autometer and it was perfect with what the mechanical pressure gauge read. So careful.

 

[johnd]

Are those 2j 550's? I don't think the clips that DM sells will fit.

I will be sure to check it against a mech gauge. Was it 15psi up or down?

They are the stock 1jz and aristo clips. The 550s will fit, need to do shave the nubs off IIRC.
