    My 1JZ Swap!

    Thanks a lot man, I hope George has good luck with the turbo setup he went with. Definitely sounded like a great guy when I briefly talked on the phone with him.

    My 1JZ Swap!

    Thanks man, I believe it will be too I don't think I know of any you don't see many if any around here. Supramaniac lives in Delaware but is in search for a supra, and Boostedmkiii and myself live around the Polaris area. That 4th pic is in front of Advance Auto on 23 where he works(Polaris).

    My 1JZ Swap!

    That was my plan for some reason I seem to purchase cars that have that, my talon was black with a silver engine bay:nono:, so when I was building my motor I painted the engine bay it turned out well...

    My 1JZ Swap!

    Thanks, as of right now my plans are for a successful swap:icon_bigg. I haven't thought too much about power goals but I'm definitely for now trying to get the most power out of the stock bottom end reliably. It'll obviously cut down on how reliable it is but they are very strong motors. Money...

    My 1JZ Swap!

    My 1JZ Swap!

    Its a simple process there were very minimal things to get loose. Just getting all the lines undone and double checking everything was detached that needed to be. And she's ready just need to unbolt the two motor mounts and hook up the cherry picker! Time to get serious and hook up...

    My 1JZ Swap!

    Well to make a long story short after having two MKIIIs and a total of 5 BHGs I've decided to take the route of the 1J. The BHGs arn't the main reason for it but deffinently part, the 7M just hasn't been kind to me and after reading and reading about the 1J it's deffinently the route I want to...

    Help random overheating/temp spike!

    Just wanted to update the thread since I havn't in a while. It did turn out to be the HG when I put it on the head slipped and put a hairline crack in the gasket. Did another HG job and all has been fine.

    Help random overheating/temp spike!

    Definitely will be checking for straightness and doing everything right as I did the first time, after I've thought and thought and read a couple threads I realized my BHG was most likely from the fact when I put the head on with help from a co worker it slipped out of our hands slightly and...

    Help random overheating/temp spike!

    There is no coolant in the oil or oil in the coolant, I'm going to tear it down today I got a cometic headgasket and since this is my dd I need quick turn around. I'm going to check the head and block for flatness and verify what I will do from that point.

    Help random overheating/temp spike!

    Also what's the best thing to use to clean the block surface? Our higher techs led me to use a die grinder with a scotch pad which I was very concerned about but they insisted it's fine(I mean I have seen them used on other cars in the shop). That's all probably for the use of a OE gasket and...

    Help random overheating/temp spike!

    Unfortunantly it's sounding more and more like it's a HG problem, actually I'm probably almost 100% sure as I replaced the radiator today and nothing, no change. Everything has now been replaced checked and double checked, and the roughish idle sounds like one of the symptoms, I guess it's time...

    Help random overheating/temp spike!

    Yes a MHG with arp studs torqued to 90 lb/ft. The head was milled and pressure tested and I personally cleaned the surface of the block smooth as possible, a lot smoother then my buddys was when he did one. I did the HG job for preventive maintanance it did start spiking prior but it never over...

    Help random overheating/temp spike!

    Anybody? I'm hoping to get this pinpointed by the end of the week I can't keep driving it this way, and it's all I can do being my only car.

    Help random overheating/temp spike!

    Alright I'm going to add something else, after I did the HG job the car had a ruff idle. Everyone and I at my shop identified it as a miss, but after replacing my plugs and wires it didn't change no air leaks either nothing. I figured it was just from blocking off my egr as my old car acted the...
