The motor hadn't run in a year, got it from a local'ish guy who said it was 160 across the board when he pulled it. After a year of owning it and doing my own compression/leak down tests on it recently and getting terrible numbers (mind you I don't recall lining up any marks on the timing pulley...

I'm going to do a compression test on my 1JZ on a stand and I don't have the starter bolts. Apparently, since there's no threading anywhere to be found in the starter area, I'm going to just get some simple bolts from the hardware store and a couple nuts but was curious if anyone knew the size...

This motor is the older twin turbo style that had been single converted and hasn't run since last March when the guy I bought it from sold his SC300. I had been trying to trade it/sell it and get something I could use more since I didn't want to tear down my daily driver SC300 when my 300ZX...

I am finishing up the maintenance on my 1JZ non vvti and the last thing on the list before putting stuff back on it was re-sealing the oil pan and installing a new rear main seal. FINALLY got the rear main seal housing back on, stinkin' spring wanted to keep popping out of the seal from the...

Does it matter which way this belt goes on? Any specific orientation in regards to its rotation, or any marking on the belt that should line up with any timing mark on the engine's pulleys?

Hey guys, I need your help putting a value on my setup. I've got a rear sump 1JZ from a Supra and R154 from a Supra that a local guy is interested in and I want to put a price on it. I don't know the extent of the parts he wants with it, such as the Spec light flywheel and clutch, exhaust...

I am putting my 1JZ back together, well the front end, after putting in new cam seals, water pump, etc and before I put my tensioner and belt on I want to make sure of something. I know I have the exhaust gear on the exhaust cam and the intake gear on the intake cam but I want to make sure I...

I'm finally getting off my butt and doing the timing belt, water pump, cam seals, etc job on my 1JZ (non vvti) and had a question about setting the timing before pulling the old belt off. The engine initially came with a Driftmotion lightweight pulley that I didn't want to use after reading...

Looking for a turbo for my 1JZ project and found a guy on another car forum I go on selling one that sounds like it might be good for me. I was looking for something that should work fine on a stock internal 1JZ without having one that'd want to spool at like 4500 RPM like a T04Z I found and...

1JZ rear sump, auto trans, ECU (I think from Supra) for $1000. There are videos of it in his SC300 racing various cars, though bad videos because they're shot at night but the car is moving at least. He said before he pulled it, he compression tested it and it was 180 across the board. The...
