    Freshly rebuilt 1JZ won't stay running.

    Thanks! I was waiting for someone to notice the NT05's haha. I actually haven't gotten a chance to test them out yet, but I've heard nothing but good things about the NT05s. The rims and tires are brand new and have never seen the road. Just a dusty shop floor. Yuppers, it's the real deal, a...

    Freshly rebuilt 1JZ won't stay running.

    Originally, it was left unplugged all together. But Dale (the mechanic) decided to plug it in to see if it would help. It didn't make a difference. On Monday I'll go down to the shop and see what's happening. On Sunday he's borrowing some guy's crazy scope thing. I don't recall what he...

    Freshly rebuilt 1JZ won't stay running.

    Here's some pictures of my car thus far for anyone who's curious. A problem could be that the MAP sensor and the boost sensor could be mismatched? Dale thinks not. The engine as it sits today The new used ECU I bought. I hope its working properly. Cool Beetle

    Freshly rebuilt 1JZ won't stay running.

    I'll ask my mechanic about that. He did hardwire it, so I'm not sure it'll be the issue. Thanks for the response though! I believe my mechanic tried adding a bit of throttle after it was started, but it didn't help. I'll double check though! I don't believe its throwing out any codes...

    Freshly rebuilt 1JZ won't stay running.

    I have a 1JZ in a JZA70 Supra that has been rebuilt. It originally died from two pistons leaning out at wide open throttle. When it died it had: -440cc injectors -SAFC II -Blitz Access ECU -R34 Skyline fuel pump Cause of death at the time was thought to be myself playing around with the SAFC...

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    5Zigen wheels. 17x9 +35 front (Nitto NT05 255/40/17), 17x10 +25 rear (Nitto NT05 275/40/17) Tein fully adjustable suspension. Not sure of spring rate, but it's uncomfortably stiff, which I like. Please excuse the filth coating the car. It's been sitting in a shop since August of '09. Today...

    AEM wideband 02 sensor used to feed ECU?

    Just the 02 sensor and the gauge is what I have.

    AEM wideband 02 sensor used to feed ECU?

    Found this. It sounds like I don't have the proper kit to run the dual feed from the AEM wideband. Unless I just don't understand what's going on, which is quite likely.

    AEM wideband 02 sensor used to feed ECU?

    Ah. Thanks for the answer. I'll just chop a hole in the exhaust, extend the stock 02 sensor's wires, and weld that bastard in place. Problem solved.

    Valve shim?

    As far as I know, the 1JZ and 2JZ share the same shims, valves, springs and retainers. When I bought a brand new set of Brian Crower cams, I ended up buying a spare 1JZ head and took the shims out of it. Then I had a diverse amount of shims to choose from and getting proper gaps was no...

    AEM wideband 02 sensor used to feed ECU?

    I have an issue. I went with the driftmotion single turbo kit, but now the stock 02 sensor doesn't fit in the screw-in bungs. I do have an AEM wideband 02 sensor and gauge however. Aaron at Driftmotion said it's possible to use the AEM's wideband 02 sensor's narrowband feed to feed the ECU...

    The "which o2 sensor" thread

    I'm having a similar problem. I'm going with a single turbo setup now, and the stock 02 sensor doesn't fit in any of the bungs. I have a AEM wideband 02 sensor however, and I was told it can perform both jobs of feeding the wideband meter and feeding the ECU a "narrow-band" feed if you splice...

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    My 5Zigen FN01R-C's came in the mail today. What you're looking at here one of the rears. It's 17x10 +25. The fronts are 17x9 +35. If need be, I might get a spacer for the fronts. Just waiting for rear rubber now (and for the engine to be done...). For the rear tires, I'll run some Nitto...

    Crown Victoria Wheels, Yay or Nay...

    Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but I'd thought I'd share my Crown Victoria rims I purchased and had painted. These will be my winter rims.

    1JZ Part - Oil cooler adapter?

    I have a problem. My 1JZ-GTE engine is currently getting a full rebuild in a local mechanic's shop in my small town. Why my engine failed is I went to lean while attempting to tune the vehicle myself, and ended up melting two pistons. So the part in question is this piece that fits onto the...
