I'm not running a relocated oil filter. I didn't reuse the oil pan. I bought a 2nd rear sump motor with a new oil pan. The original one was full of shavings. The 2nd motor had good pressure from the start to the day I parked it. If it had an oil pressure issue, it wasn't registering on the...

I swapped a friends old 1jz engine into my current supra and it started acting up within 200 miles, the oil pressure was low and it the RPMs dropped when I hit the clutch. It was crankwalk. I attributed this to him running a really heavy clutch on the motor with no neutral start disable. The end...

I've had this argument before... but on the supra 1jz harness at least, the igniter is grounded through the harness itself. The car will run with the igniter hanging in the air. Hell, there's a youtube video of it. If your harness ground is damaged somehow, that's another story.

As long as the crank timing gear spins with the crank then it sounds fine. Were either your cam or crank sensors rewired at some point? They are polar, so if the wires get swapped around the sensor won't work.

Check the crank timing gear, if the sensors check out there could be something wrong with it. It might be broken / missing / out of position.

It's definitely slowed down around here. All the same, I have to applaud everyone who's still around and still working on and innovating for our cars. Over time some parts have gotten harder to get and more expensive, but there is also so much more aftermarket than there used to be 9 years ago.

I bet it can be done, I made 450hp on a 2jz with a hy35 at 14psi and just a rough tune. I have a he351cw (basically a revised hy35) on a 1jz now, so we'll see what that can do.

Perhaps I was lucky. That aside, what I really wanted to point out that for most pressure plates, rebuilding the lower half of the engine is overkill.

Disable your clutch start switch, simple and effective. I have been able to run the RPS 3200 crank-walker supreme just fine on a healthy engine and just that simple mod.

With only 4 ignition channels you would have to run the 1jz in waste spark, and put the coils in pairs. The mk3 has no fuel pump controller so there's not much loss there, for the MK4 or SC it could be useful.

I personally don't recommend it, I have heard from others that it works though. The resistance values are too far off of the factory ones to be safe on a 2jz ECU IMHO. Your best bet is to go with the acura legend box, which has 6 resistors in it instead of 3.

Man you guys get some low quotes on paint...I can't get just a respray of the same color done around here for less than 2500.

I am running one of these in my car and can confirm they are good quality and fit.

They are not identical, but close enough. I ran both a JDM supra ECU and an aristo ECU on the same harness without changing anything. The JDM supra harness has a wire to the ecu for a tach output the aristo doesn't have, that's the only difference I know for sure.

That voltage sounds about right, the Denso sensor just reads atmospheric pressure with the key on.
