Thanks for the responses! I went for a drive today, and i think i've fixed the problem, well for now at least, spark plugs are at .024, and i used some grease around the spark plugs (it was sitting at the checkout at autozone in what looked like a condom package). So for now i don't have the...

Alright, drove it today, it didn't make any weird popping sounds on startup, i epoxy'd and heat shrinked the coil packs and got the same break up :/ it happened around 3k on my first pull, i also tried feathering the throttle for slower acceleration but still had the breakup, i turned the corner...

Sorry if my original post was confusing, I have NOT ran my car since re gapping the plugs, i didn't realize that that alone could solve the problem, i noticed all the cracks in the packs and figured that was the culprit, oh well, i was out all day with the gf so i didn't find time to check this...

I believe i have the second gen 1jz, based on pics i found online. Also, i the smoke seemed to come from the front turbo mainly, also it didn't smoke after i got home. I always do smell something burning under the engine bay. So did re gapping help your problem at all? or do you still have the...

Heres a couple of things i've noticed... After the car sits for a while (more than a day) it has a miss (i think? loud popping sound) for about 5 min. I've only driven it 3 times since installation, and i continually notice smoke coming from the turbos, from around the heat shield once...

thank you! Just need a little more detail on the thermostat Will the stock one work? or do i need to buy one?

haha, thats a good idea, yeah also i could wire it to the accessory signal for the stereo, but i think there should be something in the engine bay , i didn't feel like running more wires through the dash :/, i've had enough of that, i think ill find something in the fuse/relay box to use, but...

I already have a 40 amp relay and have the wire, im not gonna spend $50 on that, i'll just find a wire to tap into for the signal for the relay.

Because this would be easier. Where would this thermostat go? I mean i have the factory thermostat, but i heard that that is only for the stock auxilary fans and kicks on at a higher temperature than what i would need, so i figured it could just have them be on when the car is running. That...

So i would like to know what wire i should use as a signal for my electric fans, i'd like to have it run whenever the car is on, just wondering where i should run the signal from, hopefully theres something in the fuse box that i can tap into! edit: So i did some looking around on the tsrm...

What ecu is that from? Its hard to tell what connector and what pin that is.

haha nope, but chrome translates it, i just use it for the diagrams and part #'s i really don't think you need to understand the words to get what you need to know, it has lots of vehicles too, i used it for my rav4 too lol

try taking and uploading a video, it helped me with my problems

Alright here goes an update! Broken hoses had to order some super heavy duty gates hose, this was a pita to install, mainly because it didn't flex very well, i had to really pry it in there. Lengthening the harness New clutch...

alright so i re-tightened all the manifold nuts again, this time using a hammer, and in one case an engine hoist, to tighten all the nuts as tight as i can and it sounded even better, but there was still a lot of sounds going on, there was also a burning smell, after examining my serpentine...

yeah i stumbled across that weird ass russian site a few months back, they have all the exploded views of pretty much the entire car, and all the part numbers, they have the jza70 and the ma70 and a lot of other cars too!

I see a lot of people asking for certain oem 1jz part numbers, I stumbled onto this site while preparing for my swap and it was a great help! now does everyone else know of this/these sites and don't talk about it? or did no one know that these existed? Maybe im just late to find out about...

LMFAO! exactly! fixed the exhaust leak! i think... making other sounds now :/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NjZQHMI3tA

this site :http://www.megazip.ru/ru/auto/toyota/view/452/4039/40747/392859#g392929 says that this:17278-88400 is what you need and can be purchased here: http://www.toyotapartszone.com/oem/toyota~gasket~turbo~to~exh~17278-88400.html...

holy shit my nuts are loose! all the turbo manifold nuts backed out :/ should i try to take them all off and put on some blue or red thread lock? ugh those are going to be such a pain :/
