Hi i've just subscribed and introduced myself here http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?120950-Hi-there!
I've put a 1JZ Supra engine in my Nissan S13 and drove it for the first time last weekend and all i can say is wow what a crazy engine! I have a big single turbo en exhaust manifold waiting to be installed but that's not going to be used in the near future I guess :icon_bigg
Now the problems I've ran into are:
- the alternator is not charging, I think because the engine is not wired completely, I've put +12 on 4 wires, which is enough to let it run. I don't know what more needs to be done to make the alternator charge the system?
- the water is not circulating trough the radiator so I think the thermostat is broken. Is it recomended to put a new one in which opens faster than the original?
I'm not that good at electricity so can someone tell me what's a must do when using a 1JZ in a non Toyota car?
Thanks for any help.
Best regards, Cedric.
