It's moments like this that make me think we miss out on a lot of debauchery that goes in in the mod forums.

I did the same thing only to realize that it attaches to the intake manifold support bracket on the USDM MKIV. I was unable to use this bracket due to the BIC motor mount brackets being in the way. So I made an aluminum bracket to mount the original Aristo oil dipstick tube, which no longer had...

So true. Even if the previous owner hasn't changed it, the filter isn't even through half it's service life. here is a good read: http://www.supramania.com/forums/content.php?121-The-great-fuel-filter-myth

Hmm after doing a little research I think you may have solved an intermittent problem I've been dealing with. It's hasn't done it recently, but on occasion the engine would randomly rev up to 1600~2000 rpm if I was sitting at idle. I would get some weird looks from people at stop lights. It...

Is this the elbow your talking about?

I just turned over 90,000 so I'm glad to hear it's got a lot of life left. Though I did just replace the water pump. Now I have a studded under light load. I'm hoping it's just the spark plugs. Since it's time to change them I figured I'd start there. Still not looking forward to this job.

It seems it concerns the 5.4 2V as well. The 5.4 3V has it's own set of issues. Here's a TSB concerning the thread repair, it was the 5.4 2V and 6.8 2V. http://www.locknstitch.com/FT%20pdf%20files/Ford%20Technical%20Service%20Bulletin.pdf And here's an artical about it on consumer affairs...

I've got the same job lined up this weekend on my 5.4 f150. From what I've seen I'm not looking forward to it. Not to mention the 99-03 5.4 had a bad habit of spitting spark plugs, so you have to be very careful with the torque specs, and even then, the Ford tech told me thats no guarantee.

Agreed. But if it comes up even a little I'd like to see this on my list of projects to take on. The 2JZFSE coupled to a VNT turbo, another technology I'd like to see mature more, I think would make for very impressive street motor. You may not see stratospheric hp numbers but I bet the size...

I agree with you completely. But take a look at the new Ford ECOBoost motors, they use a 10.0:1 compression ratio with 87 octaine fuel, to great results. Even at 10.0:1 the 2JZFSE would still be a stellar engine. I've looked into doing the swap sa well and it is still in my long range plans. The...

What makes you say that? The 7m was originally designed as an NA.

Yeah they run 1200-1400 psi fuel pressures but thats via a exhaust cam driven mechanical fuel pump. It just needs a good pump with high flow to get it out of the tank. Turbocharging a DI motor produces great results. DI is able to control knock better so you can run higher compression pistons...

How were you planning to attach the stock twins to the GE head? edit: nevermind after looking at your previous threads I see your going 1.5JZ and thats a 1JZ head. I thought it looked funny.

It hasn't been done yet that I know of, but the only issue I can really see is that the one I saw used a return-less fuel system. So some modifications would be needed. Not sure if your aware or not but the 2JZFSE has Toyotas D4 direct injection head.

That is user Jens Lyn's car. A temendious amount of work has gone into that engine, and it is NOT carb'd. It is fuel injected and those are individual throttle bodies off of a BMW M3. It also has 5MGE pistons, a 6MGE short block with a 7M head. Its a very interesting build...

It's late so I might not be thinking straight, but what if the signal for VC was severed on the ECU side. The signal would be shunted through the AFM and throw the TPS completely off if the AFM were unplugged. This could be tested with a multimeter by checking for continuity between pin 3 on...

Shard of belt separated and is now slapping against stuff.

Yeah from what I understand it's like A. Jay said. F&F Timeline F&F1 -> F&F2 -> F&F4 -> F&F5 -> F&F3 It's a form of story telling that is great for confusing people. :3d_frown: Yeah I'm looking forward to seeing Dwayne Johnson go toe to toe with Vin, you know it's going to happen and is going...

It's a beautiful car none the less Jeff. Getting a new vehicle is such an exciting time. Hope you enjoy it.

Some fresh solder paste(evil stuff) and a good Thermo-Jet and that shouldn't take to long.
