    Sside's 1990 Supra

    Check my build thread (link in sig). It's pretty much all go and no show right now. You can see the rest once it's painted :)

    Need Advice on 2 step install

    Doesn't necessarily have to be a Supra. Or even a Toyota for that matter, so long as the threads match (do you have the threaded hole?). You could also just get a switch from Radio Shack, but the threads wouldn't match. You could probably make it work though.

    Need Advice on 2 step install

    Seriously no clutch switch? So you can start the car without pushing the clutch in? Is there a spot on the pedal to mount a switch? You could just grab one off another Toyota from the junkyard.

    Sside's 1990 Supra

    Welcome. Car looks good. Glad you got it running. You need a new mechanic. Changing ALL the sensors is hardly sound advice and wiring the knock sensors together isn't advisable either. Scared to hook it up? That's absurd. You'd be better off skipping that guy and doing the work yourself with...

    hesitation from idle

    You can smell the richness on a stock 1JZ anyway. Explain technically why it matters.

    Why is my speed-o below 0???

    The car is actually going 180 MPH? My guess would be something snagged, snapped loose, and the momentum of the needle caused it to rotate on the shaft. Feasible? I don't know. But it's the only idea I've got.

    hesitation from idle

    The pump isn't going to matter, that's what the regulator is for. Base FP should be about 30 with the vac line on the regulator, or 40 without. If the cam/crank sensor clips are loose, try replacing the housings. They are part 90980-10947. Your timing might be off because of a bad signal there.

    SLOW 7M'S Build with lots of custom parts.

    Nice build. I like the oiling system setup.

    Finaly it starts, but oil is everywhere....

    The oil dipstick goes in at an angle, below the blue one. Not circled in the pic. Not under pressure either, but can leak.

    Clutch 6puck on ebay

    7M-GTE and 1JZ-GTE use the same clutch. I'd stay away from this one. Pressure plate looks stock (no reinforcements on the fingers), plus as Poodles mentioned, it's the wrong pressure plate in the photo. Think of it this way. You can spend the extra money and do it right the first time. Or, you...

    Jon's 1989 1JZ single turbo restoration and build: Stellllllaaaaa!

    I hope to have it "done" for the fall cruise. Once I get it running satisfactory, it'll be stripping it down again for paint. Hopefully that's pretty quick. Then everything goes back together + lots of suspension goodies and interior. Then it's to the tuner and dyno... then it'll be on the...

    Jon's 1989 1JZ single turbo restoration and build: Stellllllaaaaa!

    Oh and I also can't go over about 12:1 AFR at idle or it gets worse, and above 13:1 it stalls. (engine is at 190 deg F). I think the timing calibration might be off. I need to find a timing light that will work with the 1JZ. Anyone know of a decent affordable one that can trigger off the...

    Jon's 1989 1JZ single turbo restoration and build: Stellllllaaaaa!

    The problem: the wire wasn't attached to the ECU. Looks like when I swapped the 2JZ plugs onto the harness I skipped over it. Why, I don't know. It's been a year since I did the work. It's fixed now. The car has an random misfire at all RPMs. Tried with/without the DLI and same situation. I...
