    Pre-1JZ drop in checklist

    are you keeping the hydro fan? did you have to switch to front sump oil pan? it seems to me that most of the motors with hydro fan, are front sump. i didn't know driftmotion converted wiring harnesses. did you have to send them your 7m harness? how much are they charging? what trans are you using?

    Egr help!

    You are going to need a vacuum pump with gauge. Next to impossible to diagnose an egr system without one. Next thing is i am pretty sure you are not understanding what "ported vacuum" is. both of the vacuum ports at the throttle body (the one for evap and the one for egr) are ported vacuum. i...

    Egr help!

    STEP ONE, make sure you have ported vacuum (like 3-5 in hg off idle) at the egr vacuum ports on the throttle body. 2. make sure you have the same signal at one side of the EGR modulator 3. unplug the larger hose from the bottom of the modulator and make sure exhaust flows through the hose, and...

    Didn't Pass Smog wtf

    if your car is running at 5% CO, it has nothing to do with exhaust unless you have a exhaust leak near or in front of the o2 sensor. A cat (especially w/o air injection), is not able to reduce numbers like 5% CO. also what was the reading of 02 and C02 during the test? and i am guessing...

    Where is the oil leak coming from?

    take that boot off and see if there is atf inside, (the stuff on the outside is likely too dirty to tell the color) if so time for a new rack

    high fuel pressure hot start?

    In th process of freshening up my motor, while its out for a auto, to 5 sp swap. (which is a HUGE undertaking on a twenty year old motor, as most of you already know) I found that one of the wires for the fuel pressure regulator vsv, was broken. (there were a few others broken wires but this...

    no nuts on lower motor mounts? WTF

    i went through the paperwork from the previous owners and found that this motor was put in in 04, so its been that way for five years. i am usually pretty easy on my car, but i also love to get on the boost and it has seen WOT from all speeds. without a klunk, rattle, jerking or anything...

    no nuts on lower motor mounts? WTF

    Yesterday i was pulling my motor for a 5 speed swap and there were no nuts on the bottom part of the motor mounts. The motor mounts were bolted to the motor but thats it. There must be enough weight to just hold a stock motor in place. or maybe the torque strut? There has to be some reason...

    Calling all "old-school" MKIII enthusiasts

    Thank you for stating the obvious. I just thought that some old-school guys might look at a mod and think that it took away from the overall style of the original, stock mkiii.(instead of adding to it) obviously what is said in this thread is not going to change my thoughts of what looks...

    Calling all "old-school" MKIII enthusiasts

    I am pretty new to supras but I could not be happier with my mkiii. I was just wondering what you old-school guys hate to see done to these cars. as far as body, mechanical, styling, interior etc. I have been reading countless pages of information and have seen allot of things that I like but...

    idle error controll

    where is the confusion? is there no idle controll? i will look tomarrow. yet somehow i feel that the fact that it does not need to be set before timing is not incorect.

    idle error controll

    from what i understand you have to set the idle error contrill before setting timing. if so why do i not see any threads pertaining to this subject? therefore my question is where is it, and what do i do with it?. i understand i could go to "all data" and set the "idle error controll" but i feel...
