i need a set of rear lift struts reaaaaallllll bad....add me to the list!! i would also pick up a pair of hood struts too... lmk, thanks!!

i don't have a wideband, nor an accurate volt meter... can i install a wideband 02 as an oem replacement, without it hooked up to anything else?? wasn't sure how that worked by itself. i DO need a good voltmeter, maybe now is the time... thanks

i want to upgrade my 1jz pcv valve with a 2j, and the only one listed at the auto parts store was for a GE...will this do?? i would go to the dealership, but am far away from one right now. i'm just unsure if there is a difference between pcv's when boost is added to the scenario... thanks

thank you for the input, everything you explained made a lot of sense. i bet my oil is real polluted right now, i will have to change it asap. Is the only way to check my O2 and other sensors by hooking up a data-logging tool that can see if these sensors are responding to engine...

new ngk's, not sure about 02...engine ran the same before and after plugs were changed. it also cranks over for a few seconds before starting most of the time, forgot to mention that. it usually takes a good 2-3 seconds to start most of the time, other times it starts right up. even when i...

thats a good thread, it does make sense...wouldn't have thought so at first. here's a good link from it: So any ideas why my 1jz would be boosting bad, even after driving it for a few minutes? and when i say boosting bad, i mean right when it starts to boost, at half throttle, it...

thats a good routine, i'll have to just remember to give myself more time...and also remember what an awesome engine I have, and its worth it to keep it happy lol. are there any mkIII plug and play remote starters??

i try not to drive the car when its cold, but how long does an engine need to warm up before its not 'cold' anymore? it seems like 3-5 minutes is a lot to me (unless warm means once the thermostat has opened), or maybe i just need to buy a remote start and play it smart..

even on 50-60 degree days, before my 1j reaches close to NOT, or has run for 3-5 minutes, it sputters out horribly when the turbos start to spool. Under 2500-3,000 rpm, the engine runs completely normal, accelerates fine, and then sputters when it reaches + boost. now when it is a really...

four or five years ago I blew the head gasket on my dad's old '88 7mge on the highway going from norther VA to TN, and I didn't notice the temp needle until it did the little jump, little jump, then HUGE jump into RED... right before I threw it into N to shut it off, it was too late, and the...

thats great news! +- 30 is definitely enough for me, I look forward to some updates!!

any updates??

BTW, thats EXACTLY what I was looking for! thanks

I tried searching, but must have been too specific...thanks for the info!

I am looking for a nice leather shift boot, either in all black, all blue, or blue stitching on black. Any suggestions? I think I need an aftermarket/universal boot because my shifter is an inch or two forward with the 1j r154 BH compared to the 7m r154, and it seems like it would stretch...

hey man, you get your jeep sold?? i heard you found an '88 in decent shape for a good price! :sarcasm: my vote is 1j....but that is a lot of money off the bat. coilovers, rims, lsd, 1jz w/ r154 (or n/a>t), custom exhaust, big ass FMIC, and don't worry about the body work yet unless you...

Well I got the harness completed, installed and wired up, and the mirrors function completely! So the harness turned out just fine. Thanks again for the help along the way. BTW, anyone have any clue where I could find the harness connectors for the mirror switch and the computer?? I don't...

You are the man!! That is really awesome. I hope that some of us can find a way to return the favor!! All I can offer is a good deal on a rear sump pan setup, or pre '89 mkIII 1JZ motor mount brackets lol...But I def wouldn't mind paypal'ing you a 'donation' otherwise!! I'm looking forward...

while the engine is out, i would replace the rear main seal whether it's leaking or not...new part peace of mind i guess. Oil pan gasket and front crank/cam seals if you feel like it. A new water pump isn't a bad idea either.

I've seen that engine undercover causing problems when not on...but I would check the easy stuff before buying a replacement that might not fix the problem!
