    Is this true?

    if you're running an AEM universal, yeah probably it will work. it might be more work than just using the 2jz stuff, but it should be doable. you have to use the AEM stuff for some things, like the map sensor, if i recall correctly.

    cant seem to find a site for these

    ok www.driftmotion.com has the 1jz bellhousings... if you have an 89+ front crossmember, the 1jz and 2jz bolt up. if not, www.bicperformance.com has adapter brackets for the earlier style mounts. if you just need actual motor mounts, get the 2jz ones from toyota or a junkyard. no need to use...

    getting a new 7m

    well, i have bad rod knock, the shop pulled the head, and the crank and block are totally messed up, so i'm going to pick up a new long block and drop it in over the next month. besides the obvious, like belts/gaskets/pumps, are there any obvious things i should upgrade/replace while i'm in...

    Gauging Intrest.... Katskinz Seat Covers

    ditto.. i was looking to order black, with grey suedezkin inserts/door panel inserts, and grey piping. i figure we'll be able to list our options once we get the buy approved... probably he's gonna want to let it run for longer than 1 or 2 days so the guy won't have to make multiple orders...

    I Ask Everyone here to read this Post!

    I think all this is very constructive. I'd also like to add something I forgot before. As the SM community is growing, it would probably be a good idea to have a few more mods than right now. Currently I'm not sure how many there are, but I get the impression there are no more than 5...

    failed emissions

    i dont think the egr valve would be causing numbers that off.... are you getting bad gas mileage too? that's a sure indicator of a bad o2 sensor.

    aem ems for 1jz

    no, there is not one made... however several people have successfully wired the 2jz PnP EMS to the 1jz engine. i believe i read last week on the aempower forums that HPF was developing a converter harness and software/sensor package for this combination.

    Wiring up an amp questions

    more than likely, the rear channels of the amp won't push enough power, even bridged, to run a 12" polk. i was a manager and installer at a custom audio shop for a long time, and the most those kenwood amps will put out (unless it's the higher end eXcelon) is like 35W continuous. that's about...

    failed emissions

    check out the Group Buy section, there's a great deal on O2 sensors from MDCMotorsports right now... like 38 plus shipping or something like that. Then all you need is solder, a soldering iron, shrink wrap and a hair dryer/heat gun, and you've got yourself a new o2 sensor. The toyota one is...

    New Guy

    I Ask Everyone here to read this Post!

    I've been a Moderator on a few Celica forums in the past, (and i'm in that nebulous late 20s age group that no one else seems to be in) and I'm not a huge fan of the OT section either, but it's an effective buffer against the kind of random stuff everyone seems to have a problem with. Having...

    failed emissions

    hmm, well if your exhaust has a hole in it, that might be the problem... :) seriously though... are you throwing any codes? a bad o2 sensor also, could be causing you to run very rich.

    did they give you any more information? what state are you in? do you have any fuel mods? what are your other mods?
