    2jzgte swap no start

    Alright… So I finally got everything together on this swap and now it won’t start. The car cranks over and seems like it’s trying to catch but it just won’t. Any feedback would be awesome. Points of interest: 1. I had the wiring harness done by phoenix tuning so I’m running under the...

    Guys with 89+ that went JDM tails?

    All I can find are threads about the 88 and under guys talking about fitting their modling and whatnot to those tail lights. My question is simple... I have an 89 with that graphite colored molding... In fact... here is a picture of the car. The molding on the JDM lights look to be a...

    2jz Coolant hoses to heater/firewall

    Ok so I've gone single turbo on the setup and I'm not quite sure what hoses to use for the heater control valve and firewall nipples. From what I've read the oem routing would theoretically be head to HCV and lower coolant pipe to the firewall by the brake booster. From my understanding to...

    Charcoal canister replacements?

    So I'm currently trying to decide what to do with the charcoal canister as I've recently added some go-fast parts and space is running low. I've read probably 20-30 threads between here and SF so I understand at the point what it does... But all those threads have the same following mixed...

    2J Fuel pump wiring

    I have a very limited understand when it comes to wiring, so I sent the harness out and when I got it back ther was a green wire hanging by the ecu. I was told this was for the fuel pump and should be attached to a "switched ground". This is a paraphrased conversation I had about it: So...

    2jz remove oil pressure switch and ID plugs

    I took a look at the 2j oil pressure switch today and it looks like it's not a normal socket wrench and this thing would be impossible to reach using a crescent wrench or something along those lines. The tsrm mentions a special service tool that looks like a socket to remove the switch. From...

    2j swap drewgo downpipe won't fit

    I have a drewgo t4 manifold and downpipe. The turbo is a precistion t67. For some reason the downpipe (3-inch) won't fit because it is rubbing up against a coolant outlet/inlet. It is rubbing to the point that I can't even get the downpipe to sit flat enough against the turbo to connect the...

    Radiator for power steering cooler?

    I am in the process of a 2j swap on an 89 supra and was planning on using a second 7m oil cooler for the power steering fluid. Then today I started wondering whether or not anyone has ever used the auto trans cooler in the radiator as a cooler for the power steering. Would this be an...

    2j swap flywheel question... Cookie to someone who can answer this quick.

    I've got the 1jz flywheel that I'm about to mount up to the 2jz motor (which came to me as an automatic). There are two big washers/plates that came off with the 2j flywheel (one in front and one behind... flat one in rear and cupped one in front). I pulled the flywheel off my old 7m and...

    I realize I don't know #### about turbos

    Ok so I am finally at the point where I'm looking to buy a turbo and I've discovered that I am pretty damn illiterate. Hopefully you folks can help me out. First, this is one a 2jzgte swap and I'm planning on using a drewgo t4 manifold. This car is not going to be a daily driver. Second...

    7mgte and 7mge rod, main, and thrust bearings the same?

    I bought a set a while back and I'm not entirely sure whether the main, rod, and thrust bearings they sold me were for a 7mgte or a 7mge. I tried to find it on here but are they the same thing? I sure hope so. Thanks, Chris

    Where did you folks buy your 2jzgte's?

    Sorry for this question but I am getting a headache from searching so much... Anyway... I'm looking to buy one next month and I've read so many damn hot and cold reviews on these different importers that I am losing my mind. So far I've been looking at these importers: jarco(in the same...

    Damn early 89 car... 2jzgte swap question(s)

    I've got a question involving mounts this time around, but I think I'm just going to attempt to make this my retarded 2jzgte swap question thread. My head hurts from how much I've been researching it on here the last 2 weeks. Anyway... I finally got a chance to look at my mounts and they are...

    Head work questions

    Hey guys, I'm at a crossroad with the head on my current stock rebuild and need your help. All I wanted to do originally was resurface a head, replace the valve stem seals, and call it a day... but of course that plan went sour. There are three different heads in play right now. 1...

    Where the hell are you guys finding rc injectors for 300 bucks?

    I've been searching my ass off recently on some 550cc injectors and I'm pretty sure I'm going with rc engineering... It seems like every thread I've found has somebody claiming that they got everything needed (rc injectors, clips, o-rings, and so on) new for sub 400 bucks... But I'm not seeing...

    NA Pistons and cams in a Turbo motor?

    Anybody doing this? What kind of mods? What kind of power? Reliability? If anyone has seen my last thread, they know my car went down with rod knock. I am supposed to pick up a running turbo motor and head on sunday and was planning on doing a bs rebuild (bearings, rings, all gaskets/seals...

    Need some advice on a knocking 7mgte

    Long read... Sorry :( Well, I hoped this day would never come but my car developed rod knock about 2 months ago (really minor but getting worse). This car has been with me through better and worse but unfortunately it decided to go at a time where I have absolutely no funding (which is why I've...
