That burning oil you're smelling may be from the CPS, you might want to replace the o ring. If you look close the oil drips down to the turbo manifold (i'm pretty sure this is where your smoke/steam is coming from, cuz this happened to mine before.

Did you use a stock replacement head gasket? if so 75 lbs should be good enough. If you replaced it with a metal head gasket anywhere from 80-90 lbs.

Tial, but if you want to go for sound the HKS one probably sounds the best.

Nice single set up. True on being clean and reliable, but you'll have the power there when you need it just in case those 7M guys mess with you.:naughty:

Welcome to SM. Any pictures of your car?

I work at city hall and I always see that Supra with the "TRD 2JZ" license plate on my way to work. Really nice cars, that's going to be a lot of work, can't wait for the finished product.

Just like they said it can be a lot of things. However, you need air, fuel, and spark. If you don't have all three the car won't start. Check for spark and if there is the CPS might be the problem. Again there might be a lot of things but those are the main ones you want to look at first.

great first turbocharged car! welcome to SM.

yeah the ones from the n/a are the same

I had this problem with mine before, where it would just keep on cranking but not turn over. When it would turn over it would only idle for a second or two then die out. I changed the idle speed control valve and it started up just fine like it always had. If not I guess you could try the CPS.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too, but then I thought why would it be different if it's the same kit. So there's a Sard and a blitz kit?

I don't think so, because onejoezee and both dslocal said that theirs started spooling around 3200 +/-, and they didn't know why zazzn's kit spooled so late as they had the same kit.

Thank you, Zazzn. Your input helps me a lot. However, why is it that yours spooled up at 5K? DSlocal the guy who is selling his says his starts to go positive around 3200+, and also onejoezee's kit spooled in the same area. Is it because of the set up you had?

Oh ok. Weren't you on the rx8 forums? your user name is familiar. Anybody else that has first hand experience?

Does anyone have any information regarding this twin turbo kit for the 1jz? DSLOCAL on the forums is selling his, he's had them rebuilt basically brand new as they were smoking when he first bought and installed it, they have the k27 hotside with the k26 compressor, blitz external wastegates...

Here's mine:

Thanks, white supras are clean

Thanks to you and the swap I get to enjoy this car. I'll hit up blacktrax as you advised and see what they can do for me.
