    anybody done a ford 5.0 swap?

    Or you could go carb for cheap, plus save a lot of weight... OP, what would your goals for this car be if you were to build it? Gutted and carbed with the usual bolt ons would be a blast with the 4.30 gears

    anybody done a ford 5.0 swap?

    I believe painless makes a harness to put one in about anything, I think it'd be a fun car. You could build a shit ass log manifold and boost that thing for fairly cheap. iirc, civilian crown vics had different intakes than mustangs (faced the wrong way, less injectors? can anyone confirm?), if...

    1JZ ecu plugs

    HAHAHAHAHAHA you paid that much for that crapbox jumper harness just so someone could put the pins in the right place?!!!???! I found these two plugs for less than ten bucks the first place I went in town, not toyota. I bought a 1j swap out of a chaser and was missing these as well, C85 (16...

    Need to do my 1jz swap help!!

    How far are you from kaizen or driftmotion? They're both on this board and have excellent reps. The cheapest way would be to do it yourself, but if you're not confident enough for that yourself, research and find a reputable person. These things aren't cheap to build or maintain. It's easy to...

    1JZ ecu plugs

    and what chaser/jzx did this come out of? I came up with a different p/n for each, jzx81,90, and 100. Some of them have different p/n's for manual or auto. NONE of them corresponded with the # you produced. Also, neither the op or altezza576 stated whether or not they were running a vvti 1j, or...

    1JZ ecu plugs

    if by "jumper harness" you mean c85 and c86 plugs with pins, and if by "cut the plugs you need and make the body connections yourself" you mean splice the things that are necessary from the body harness plugs into the appropriate pins on c85 and c86, then yeah...

    You can't use the vvti ones? not the same journal size? or maybe just the exhaust cam at least?

    1jz cutting out, going lean, wont rev past 2500rpm

    Try the tps... I'm stupid and put it on the wrong way one time ( on the inside, I had the prong things on the opposite side of where they shoulda been) and it did exactly this, wouldn't go much over 2 grand and then fall flat on it's face.

    Painted Block?

    I'd worry about a headgasket everyday if I was driving a stock 7m. All bs aside, If I had the metal headgasket just sittin there, I'd buy some headstuds and heater hoses and spend the next free weekend upgrading so I don't have to worry. That's just me though.

    VVTI questions

    Curious if there's a way to bypass the speed cut built into the 2jzgte vvti ecu without an aftermarket management or piggyback setup. Anyone done this yet? It will be mated to an r154 if that makes a difference. Also was thinking there should be a section specifically for the vvti engines since...

    Some sort of electrical gadget near the fuse box

    definitely a noise filter. when I first got my car running I was having throttle problems and noticed one of the wires coming out of this device was broken, so I called up my local dealership and read off the p/n hoping this would be my fix and he told me it was a noise filter. said it was for...

    1G help.!!

    supra90turbo... I'm sure HKS did make all that stuff and I'm sure it helped, but how hard is it to find all those things and then how much and how long to get it here? Like I said, it'd be unique, but impractical. And yes, my supra is practical. I took a superclean 86.5 and cut it into tiny...
