im guessing that both of those cars or their mouldings were repainted at some point? Did the later years come with color-matched mouldings? Nice find either way.

No - the head is off right now so that I could get the cam journal line honed. I will have it back on and running by next weekend. I had to push it back into the garage. Sucky.

Boring is not the method here. If you want a cost-effective option look into going 2jzge->T like I did. A couple of other guys have done it too. Its easier than doing a 7M rebuild.

Here are some pics of my garage paintjob. I havent wet sanded and buffed it yet so no close ups until then!

There is also a main power supply wire from the fuse box behind the battery that should hook directly to the POS side of the batt.

it depends on what kind of turbo you are going to put on it. Because you are asking the question, I assume you are using a stock turbo. The car will be more fun to drive if you raise it a bit. Go with a standard-thickness after resurfacing.

How is your thermostat?

That main battery ground cable should be bolted to the block not the intake manifold.

no - Im talking about the battery ground cable.

battery light will come on when the voltage gets too low. Yes, a bad ground could cause this. Ensure that the batt neg cable is properly grounded to both the chassis and the block and that it is in good condition. Look for corrosion in the cable near the post by trying to bend the cable. If...

check the wire on the sensor and ensure that it is still attached. It may be temporarially grounding out on something

I think the Mocal would be a good plate to get but I havent seen one in person. Just look at the plate you get to ensure that it flows enugh oil once the fittings are installed. I dont know abut the intake runner adaptor. I have never seen a mass-produced one. It was easier for me to just...

1jz was available in Japan only - any 1J you see here in the states is the product of a swap or was a RHD car shipped here.

Saying that its a t3/t4 turbo doesnt really mean anything. What size is it?

The cam caps arent coated - the journals look jacked because the aluminum from the head sticks to them.

Hey - those welds look good.

I dont know if your stock FPR would be able to handle the extra flow or not - better safe then sorry. I would get one but somebody else may have some experience running a walboro without it. If you do it make sure to remove your J tube

funny vid

Also I think that a 3 bar sensor will give you the range of 3 atm. Basically -14.7 to + 29.4 psi. Some people think that a 3 bar means that it will go to 14.7x3 (44.1 psi) which isnt correct. Sooooo.... if 29.4 psi is all you will be seeing, ever, then it should work for you.
