I forgot to Note i still have the Check Engine light on, No codes though. And i did reset the ECU by taking off the Neg on the battery
My 1JZ Thread - trials and Tribulations
- Thread starter bobiseverywhere
- Start date
Well i found out today that a capacitor went on my ECU so i am going to get that fixed after the holidays. Going to visit my sister this year for Christmas.
Everything else looks ok.
I found out that the ruber hose on the oil Return from the front Turbo is cracked and leaking my royal purple onto the floor lol.
other then the ECU and the Hose i think all is ok. I did change the O2 Sensor. I am now thinging with the ECU once thats fixed maybe my TPS is ok

Actually, my ecu had a leaky cap also, but it didn't make a difference on mine. My COPS springs were corroded inside. After I cleaned those the engine ran like a champ, and still does.
See the 220uF cap.

I'm glad you found out what was wrong Josh. Hopefully after the holidays you will get it running right and get us a video of you driving it for the first time. I would like to hear your opinion of it power wise. I'm hoping to start on mine this weekend sometime. I don't have my turbo kit or wiring harness, but Aaron will get it to me shortly. I have my head back and have my new cams installed. I will at least get the head back on and torqued along with the cams. Have a happy holidays.................lol
oh, oh, oh, pics of the newly worked head and Cams, Jay, please?
For sure i will have a video Even if its snowing
MattjkL i looked at the springs going to the plugs they all seemed to be ok and in good shape. I am going to put some Conductor on them too just in case.
I am using the Plugs from my 7M and they are longer. they really push on the springs.
Are those Big Green Block Common? If i take it to the guy he wont have any trouble replacing them?

oh i forgot to mention the conectors to the coilpacks all the retention clips for everyone one of them is now broken. Can you but replacements from Toyota and just take the pins out?

yeah, the 2jz one's work.bobiseverywhere said:oh i forgot to mention the conectors to the coilpacks
mine where all broken too, just goes with age... Just use some tie straps to hold them on. Fix one thing at a time.
here are some recent pics. One is obviously of the Wire i replaced that was giving me the power troubles.
I wired in my gauge properly now, so it works with the car like it is supposed too. I got the constant 12V from the Hazard switch, the Illumination Trigger from the Cig Lighter and the Ignition 12V from the Green wire on the HKS Harness for my Apex TT. I plan on wiring that up to the ECU O2 so i can at least have a rough idea of what that is. I know its not like have a Wide band and i don't consider it as a replacement but its all i have at the moment

I take it that long hose is for a catch can intercepting the PCV?
Do you have clamps on it right now? That could be your vacuum leak.

yes it is and i do have clamps on it
I have no decided where i want to put it yet so i left the hoses long to give me some flexibility plus it lets me test fit spots and see where i would route the hose
Ninja Edit:
how Much Vacuum should my HKS Boost/Vacuum Gauge be showing when the engine is idling. When my engine was sitting at the 1K area i was seeing 0.5 Bar in the Negative thats a 7.25 psi Negative

Here is one of the head. My camera sucks while taking pic inside. I'm sure it would take better pictures if I knew more about it, but I don't.
Here's a closer view of the port and polish. It looks great in person.
Can't wait to see your videos Josh. Great job!!!!
good work Bob. Im excited for you and your work up to this point. I cant wait to start my JZ project. But i have to get this 7M back together first. Get ready for alot of questions!:naughty:
Hey Bob, can you do me a favor?
I need a nice clear picture of the ecu with the board open. As many clear shots as you can post please. Thanks!
I don't want to tear mine down
