Sorry that posted twice. It would be awesome if you could just look in the manual and see what all they did to the car, but nobody builds a car for somebody else to figure out :/

Don't move anything. Just leave it. The reason your battery is draining is because everything is hooked up directly to the battery rather than running through the alternator.

I would agree with this, should probably just leave things be until you start learning a bit more about what they do. Would be unfortunate to brick your car over something simple, especially since it is modified in a unique way, might not be so easy for us to trouble shoot it online. Devin, how do you explain stereo amps then? Every one I've seen is hooked directly to the battery. They are wired to something in the ignition IIRC, that shuts them off when the car is off though. My point being, just because something is hooked directly to the battery shouldn't cause it to drain, unless of course it is an "always on" type of setup, in which case you're 100% correct.Devin Hutchison;1878639 said:
OP, I trust you have a secondary car for a daily driver? If not, read that "how to live with a Supra" thread linked in my signature.
Well more good news today, so I got a muffler put on and the nasty twin straight pipes removed. Well now that I can actually hear my engine, it turns out that my engine has a rod knocking now I don't know what to do. Do I actually swap it out for a 1JZ? Do I just pull the engine and rebuild it?
now I don't know what to do. Do I actually swap it out for a 1JZ? Do I just pull the engine and rebuild it?
Well I decided, I'm gonna go 1JZ! Selling this engine with everything on it, any suggestions on what to do from this point?
Also found out that my rear calipers are rusted so bad that they are useless, my power steering hoses are leaking, and my trans case is leaking around the seal on the bottom. I'm ordering the calipers,seals, and hoses tomorrow afternoon, and when the auto skills center on post opens back up on Wednesday I'll replace them...
Mcammarn got it right there. All up to you. I'd advise that you get a ride (maybe even drive) a 1JZ and 2JZ swapped car (if you can) and see how it feels. I got a ride in one, and I fell in love with the 1JZ. The unique sound of the motor, the ability to rev to the moon and the way to engine pulls so smoothly all helped me make my choice very easily. Yes, the 2JZ is well....legendarily proven, and god does that engine, when tuned to 550+ WHP, put you back in your seat. I went 1JZ just because it was my choice.
Lol not many people swap a 1JZ into an automatic (I only have one leg, can't drive stick anymore) and I haven't met any 1jz owners here in MD. But I'm 99% sure I'm just gonna swap over, the only thing that worries me is the electrical, do I go stand alone? Or stick with stock ECU? Do I buy a ready made harness? Or try to splice my own? These are the things I'm worried about right now... :/

Read the JZ section stickied threads, to get an idea of what all is involved here. LOT of good info in there. As was suggested, try and get someone to give you a ride in their car, see if you like it. Hell, if it weren't for my buddy Andrew taking me for a ride in his car, I would possibly be a much wealthier man these days, and my post count would NOT be where it is today.yhatzee89;1879155 said:
Plenty of cars came with a 1j and an auto though, same with the 2j, so you certainly have options. Like I suggested, read through the JZ section's stickied threads, once you have gone through that, you should be able to form your own decision on where to go.yhatzee89;1879195 said:
Besides, with the 1j (or 2j), you would kick a lot of ass, despite the old saying.
