i think i should pipe up and mention my issues as well..
i've got a GZ20 Soarer that i bolted a JZA70 halfcut into a few years ago now. I ran it for about 3 years in my old shell fine (albeit it was underpowered..), then I got defected and so I bought another shell to get around that.
So I moved the 1JZ + R154 over into the new shell and had a few issues, firstly the fuel wouldnt pump with the key to IGN, which i found to be a horribly rewired COR (as the previous owner was running a badass 2JZ with Surge Tank and 044's in the boot, he had rewired the pumps to work on a switch). So anyway i traced the wires off my spare loom and fixed that up. Fuel then pumped fine.
Now though, i'm stuck in a 3000rpm 'limp mode'. Engine idles ok but when you hit about 3krpm to 3.5k rpm it just starts spluttering and popping.
Compression on all 6 was about 170psi average.. (158 on cyl 1 being the lowest).
The only thing thats different from the old setup (besides the new car), is that I'm now running a R32 GT-R fuel pump intank. Otherwise it was a straight unbolt from one, bolt into the other job.
1JZ is stock except for Y Pipe dumps/FMIC/Exhaust I removed all silly computers like S-AFC/AVC-R. I've tested 3 different 1JZ-GT M/T ECU's.. all the same issue. FMIC piping is perfect and sealed (no leaks). No codes are coming up either.
Bit puzzled on this one, Can't really bolt up the big T04S i've got for it until i sort this problem out first..
