    You may have seen this same thread over at the forums... im just trying to find someone who has had this problem and remedied it. So I just purchased an 89' with a 1jz installed and running, but the previous owner didnt complete the swap correctly. He did not use the JDM Fuse box, instead...

    How do i replace the clutch on my 1j r154?

    Yea, thats right from the transmission side. But, i am on stock twins and have ABS, so the rear turbo is what im having clearence issues with. Loosening the motor mount will not give me any more room to wiggle the motor to give more clearance underneath because the turbo will be hitting the...

    engine swap from 89' to 91' HELP!

    The ecu and harness plugs are grey. so it should be a plug'n'play deal right? Wrong, this is giving me a headache. Swapping the dash harness isnt even an option at this point because the car is at the scrapyard... boo.

    engine swap from 89' to 91' HELP!

    ive been comparing both of the harnesses and the 91 body harness has quite a few more wires than the 89. For example the white plug on the 91 body harness has 17 wires, whereas the 89 only has 13. I believe that the ecu plugs are grey.

    To rebuild or not to rebuild?

    Well, if the shop thinks that the torque should be at 56 ft-lbs like the TSRM specifies, then that could be an issue. Usually stock bolts w/ a MHG are torqued to somewhere in the 70-90 ft-lb area. w/ arp studs is somewhere in the 85-100 ft-lb. Have you pulled your dipstick and checked the...

    To rebuild or not to rebuild?

    So the engine was rebuilt at 171875miles, how many miles does the motor have on it now? I havent heard of too many cases of a blown mhg when its torqued properly, did you check the torque w/ a torque wrench, or just by hand? Have you done a compression test? if so how did you do it (did you...

    How to change out, exhaust housing from turbo?

    most likely you got ahold of a generic T70 or something, made by masterpower, powermaster, or some other off brand name? If this is the case (and its still a good turbo and will be extremly reliable) the center section is from a combine, or some other large farm equipment. My local turbo shop...

    what should i do next?

    you can definatly do the 550's and lex w/out any other tuning device, as long as the adjustment screw is on the afm. People have had great sucess with this, and you have an upper hand, a wideband, this will help you tune in the adjustment screw in the afm to get it close to your desired ratio...
