My 1JZ Thread - trials and Tribulations

[bigaaron]

Since Suprahero has a clip the EA2 connector will be plug and play to the fusebox. You just pull the bottom cover off the fusebox and unplug the connector that goes to EA2. Then unplug the same connector in your 7m fusebox and let it hang, plug the 1j connector in it's place. There is one white wire on the 7m connector that needs to be switched over to the 1jz connector, but you don't need to cut it, just slide it out of the connector body and pop it in the 1jz fusebox connector in the open spot for it.

The only soldering that will need to be done is to tie the alternator wires into the body harness from the EA2 connector, and to extend the alternator power wire to the alternator.

Bob, your soldering looks sorta ok but it takes practice. The object is to get the wire hot enough that the solder will flow onto it, but not so hot that the wire insulation will melt. Remember you are not trying to just melt the solder, you are trying to get the solder to flow onto both pieces of wire mated together. On older wiring a little paste flux may facilitate that. Make sure you are using rosin core solder for electronics use, not the solder used for copper water pipe connections.

lol im sure there are plenty of people on here including aaron and myself that will help you out with whatever you need.

the ea2 connector is the big square connector coming off the jz engine harness that coneects to the fuse box area.....

the thermistor that connectos to that is for the hydrofan to work properly and there are two wires that go into the ea2 connector and then the plug goes to the thermistor which goes in the bottom of the radiator.

if you send your stuff off to aaron or whomever all youll have to solder is the ea2 connector which is like 8-10 wires and they are all color matched haha 2 to the thermistor, 3 to the alt, and 3 to the c1 connector off the 7m engine body harness connector by the fuse box....
its not that bad

what about connecting up the A/C

do you need to connect wires to the EA2 connector for that?

I've hadn't had a clip.. but imo its easier jsut to cut the wires and solder them in then to strip back the body hanress and take the fuse box harness out.. takes 5 minutes to solder it

as for the ac.. you could just connect the wire like the 7m straight off the compressor to the body, or go through the ea2 (stock 1j way).. I went through the ea2 as it looks cleaner imo. Its pin 9 iirc blue wire.. (labled on 1jz-gte.us's diagram ac clutch relay 3 or something)

 

[bobiseverywhere]

theres only 1 Wire? for the A/C

 

[suprahero]

Most of the items I clicked on in that 1jz-gteus, said "bad encrypt dictionary" I don't know what that means, but it wouldn't let me look at them. Is this something to do with my computer or the webpage?

 

[bigaaron]

The white wire from the 1jz ac compressor clutch goes to the same blue wire that went to the 7m ac compressor.

 

[suprahero]

It all seems so very simple when people that actually know what their doing talk about it...................:biglaugh:

To me it all sounds like xlkjhaiosdelkja'klj'ziopejalkjvioualk..............lol

Nope, three 10mm screws and plug and play. Trust me. You don't need to strip the wire loom back, just leave the old connector inside the fusebox cover.

ahh true, never though of that..

Jay, its your computer.. Try reinstalling acrobat reader..

Yes all you need is the 1 wire for the magnetic clutch. The US climate control doesn't read the speed and what not....

Gracias mi amigo...................mucho amor.

 

[bobiseverywhere]

ok i think i got some of this

Now what about the wires for the PS Rack and the Wire that goes from the alternator. It's on the opisite side of the engine bay.

Do you just get hey Gauge Wire and re-wire it. Or is there a trick?

So i can use the fuse box from the Clip? Just put the conectors on it and then wire everything thing up from the 7M one?

I will post up what i did with the EA2 connector in a few

I took out three of the pins and just put the pins in from the 7M connector BTW no Soldering needed

here are some pictures of where i am at now

the second picture is of the filter that won't come off

I want to take my oil pan off

What type of RTV do i have to use to seal it up again?

i need an exact name please so i can go find it and buy it

any type of high temp oil resistant fipg is fine... i believe its a black tube from advance auto parts.

I thought the 1jz's oil filter was lifetime guaranteed.......................:biglaugh:

buy an oil filter wrench, or jam a screwdriver into the side of it and turn..

I say relocate that crappy locating SOB, POS, painstaking, arm stretching, losing patience, arm scratching, muscle tearing filter to a nice place that will be..ok I'll stop

I never found changing the filter to be very difficult. :dunno:
