    MBC vs EBC

    I have never run anything other than stock turbos and MBC's, but I am upgrading my 1JZ from the stock twins to a T04. Stockers were smoking right away :( EBC's sound good on paper. I was just wondering if a EBC is really worth the money as far as performance goes? Setup: 1JZ T04 Stock...

    Smoke after I let off the gas :(

    I am getting a pretty decent puff of white smoke as the engine is spinning down. Whether its in between shifting, just free revving and letting off the gas, or down shifting. The car is a BPU 1JZ with 2JZ PCV valve. I have a feeling what it is(or they are as the case may be), but I figure...

    R154 fill plug?

    A fair amount of oil dumped out of my tranny when I was putting my engine back in. Which plug is the oil-level bolt? I thought it was the large bolt, 1/2 way up the tranny, near where the tranny mounts to the body. But, that bolt is Super tight. I wasn't sure, so I wanted to check before I...

    How do they look?

    I bought my supra about 2 month's ago. The 7m-ge was gone and a 1jz ready to go in. I got the car for really cheap, but ever since I bought the car these mexi-chrome rims have been a pain to my eye every time I look at my supra. So last night, I spent about 6 hours and 5 dollars on them. I...

    Do I have to remove the crank pulley?

    I am going to swap over to a 2JZ water pump on my 1jz.It would be nice to get it all done in one sitting. I don't like getting 1/2 done and realize I need something else to finish. I know the timing belt and tensioner have to come off. Is it possible to leave the crank pulley on? I don't...

    I should have done it...

    I finally found a 1JZ ECU! JDMtiger guys are sending me one. Anyways, I was on the phone with him and he asked if I wanted to do overnight shipping. I Immediately thought of Fast and the Furious about the "Over night parts from Japan" comment. I declined and went with UPS, but I kinda wished...

    Broken Driver Seat

    I think one of the motors in my seat is bad... When I try to move my seat forward or back, only one side goes forward a little and then it binds up. The cloth is in good condition though. Has anyone ever repaired this type of thing? I took a quick look at the bottom of the seat and I didn't...

    So I took apart my ECU...

    I was trying to track down code 47 and this is what I see when I open my ECU... Can someone please pop their ECU open and take some pics, let me know where I can re-attach these leads to the corresponding pins.

    TPS Voltages

    I am trying to fix code 41 and 47 on my 1JZ. They are both TPS codes. I would like to check the voltages at the ECU pins to verify the wiring, what should my readings be? I think the 4 pins are VTA1 VTA2 IDL1 and IDL2 right?

    Engine in and tracking down bugs!

    Currently the engine is cranking, but not starting. The 2 codes are: 41 and 47 Are the codes the same as the 7m ones? If so I don't see 47 listed.

    Serpentine belt w/o AC?

    Does anyone have a part number of a belt they use after removing the AC compressor? If not I will just measure and go buy one thats close, but the parts store is about 15 minutes from me. I would like to avoid the hassle of test fitting and returning if possible.

    Can you name these wires?

    I am thinking about buying this supra. It is mid 1JZ swap. It is a friends, but the car is 1000 miles away. I would get it cheap, this picture is my biggest fear. What do these wires go to? More importantly, If i had a 7m-GE harness could I use its connectors to where ever these wires go...
