pull your ecu out and check the circuit board. my car was having the same probs as you are and i found that i had two capacitors that were leaking onto my circuit board and burning it.
see here for pics of what that would look like...
is there a way to diagnose if you have a jacked up 1jz ECU? i mean, other than getting a known good ECU and plugging it in to see if your problem goes away? im having a lot of the same issues as other people who have had messed up ECU's have had. id like to know for sure before i buy one lol
lol when i saw the title of this, i totally thought you were talking about the 1/4mi. i was like "wtf?" lol. congrats on the timeslip for the gokart. thats wayyy better than anything ive done with one
the car ran perfectly when i first got it, then i blew the turbos (happened suddenly, with no warning or the engine acting weird) and got them replaced. when i was driving my car to the mechanic to get the turbos replaced, it was running real rich and driving crappy, i attributed that to my...
well i got my new(ish) turbo installed, just a replacement for my stock twins on my 1jz but my car still runs like shit. it is running pig rich, to the point that it misfires and bogs down if you engage the throttle more than 1/5th of the way. you can just smell the fuel getting dumped in there...
yeah thats one thing that always pisses me off when people do shakespearean plays. they always fuck up what the words actually meant back then, and they try to fit it into our more modern definition of words. my favorite example is the famous romeo and juliet line, "Wherefore art thou Romeo?"...
i find it somewhat sad that my balls arent getting the attention they deserve....now where'd i put that peanut butter......
in all seriousness, youre right. the lack of any kind of historical intelligence boggles my mind. i LOVE history. one of my favorite books is "the histories" by...
fuck yeah! this is great to hear. thanks for the help everyone. im really looking forward to getting my car back on the road. i havent had a car to drive for almost a year and a half ( gave my old one to my brother when i joined the army :P )
while people are helping me, does anyone know where i can get the downpipe gaskets for it? evidently they got all jackered up when the turbo went boom. is there another vehicle that has the same gaskets as this?
well my boost was stock, so "hopefully" they just went bad on me. if the bov is on the iron pipes then it should still be there and it was getting properly lubricated so i don't know what else would cause it blow.
ill double check to see if thats still there. and what do you mean the stock twins go when pushed hard? were you talking about higher boost levels or "spirited" driving? my boost was stock and i admit to driving the shit outta my car, but nothing too retarded
i believe the 1jz has a stock bov. when i bought my current supra with a 1jz swap, the owner had swapped in new IC pipes and IC but did not replace the bov. would this have caused my rear turbo to blow? it was getting oil, but still blew. i should add that there were some exhaust leaks and i...
