This video was taken after I added some seafoam to the fuel, so that's probably making the smoke worse. I opened the ECU today and it was spotless, no damage/wear to the capacitors or to the board itself: I cleaned both the MAP sensor and IACV, checked the timing, inspected the...

http://youtu.be/wXdNMm5QYsw Hey guys, me again. My newly swapped 2J is creating a LOT of black smoke and runs pretty rough, sounding like it's stumbling at times. I unplugged each coil pack to see if one cylinder was missing but they all seem to be working. It breaks up under power around...

Just wanted to let everyone know I found the problem, it was the rookie mistake of needing to keep the fuel pump on after ignition. I'll leave this thread up so other people can learn from my mistake haha.

Here are two of my plugs, they were all pretty heavily grimed up and fouled. I replaced them with new G-power NGK Platinum Spark Plugs. Could this be caused by something as simple as the fuel pump turning off after ignition because I don't have an aristo/supra mk4 'fuel pump control module'?

Good idea, I'll be able to post a photo of the old plugs in a couple of minuets.

Hey guys, I'm completing my 2JZGTE swap. I can get it to start, but it won't idle for more than a couple of seconds before the rpm's drop to where it dies, sometimes making what sounds like a sneeze or squeak noise. Applying any throttle at all immediately kills it. Would this typically be a...

Hey everyone, I'm swapping an Aristo 2JZGTE into my 1990 mk3 and it's almost ready: The previous owners did some wiring that I'm now trying to figure out along with some oem stuff. I'm terrible at reading electrical diagrams (working on it) so if you can explain in simple terms it...

It's been awhile since I posted. Here's what I've been up to: http://vimeo.com/24368663

It's flat black, but i didn't rattle it. used a HVLP gun. http://vimeo.com/16923990 The dark blue metallic before was immaculate yeah, but it's just not me. The flat black is temporary until later on after body modifications are done. it's easier to touch up than the blue for that reason.

Well, I don't want to hurt your eyes with a lot of text, so here are some pictures. and you always need a matching shirt

Oh man... Thanks Janes! I think I might have seen you downtown a couple of times, I may have waved to you. Your white mk3 is sick.

Woops! thanks for pointing that out, the 4 in td046h was a typo. Both were bought by the previous owner so i'm not sure what his future plans for the car were. Maybe he was going to tack weld a 67mm on there and pour jet fuel into the windshield wiper reservoir to make a flame thrower. Who...

I have a feeling people might think what i want to do is a bit sacrilegious, but i see it's future containing a 2j swap, 240Z fender flares, front splitter, dual side pipe exhaust, 2" hubcentric spacers, low offset wheels, modified steering knuckles/rack, matte black and then once the fenders...

So here's the car as it stands right now, rolled the front fenders last night. Didn't flare them, only needed clearance for the very edge of the tread. Here's the cliffs notes of performance mods so far: greddy: -exhaust 4", TDO46H 20 g turbo kit, RC 550 injectors, turbo timer, Spec B boost...

Hey buddy, welcome and good luck with getting your 89 rolling!
