    My 1.5J Soarer project

    thats about as JDM as it gets. I like the intake manifold, I planned my car around one of those (relocated the battery) but never got around to installing it.

    cant get over 15psi without fuel cut, standalone???

    ECU isn't smart. Just because you add more fuel, it doesn't mean it removes the 15psi limit. Get a reflashed ECU or BCC

    JDM 2JZGTE

    1jz as daily driver?
