    Power steering question

    I'm on my 4th (used) powersteering pump... It's a weaklink in the JZ motor. They only last around 100k miles. You can rebuild them, but it costs as much as a new pump ($400). What seems to keep them from being too loud is lucas power steering pump stuff.

    AEM hooks up to the stock harness, but it only reads the rear sensor

    RPM's on the 1J?

    I'd be right there with ya, but the springs won't let me:cry: It DOES see over 7 grand on a daily basis still at least :) People really go nuts when you tell them your car revvs close to 8 grand on a stock head and valvetrain, and the only thing keeping you from 9 is the cams lol

    My friend with an AEM uses the rear one, if that means anything.

    HOW TO: Charging your A/C air conditioner conditioning system at home.

    The car does have a heater "core", but most of the heating is done by the AC system. Basically instant heat even if the car is cold.

    It's a weird system, the AC system also acts as the heater system

    HOW TO: Charging your A/C air conditioner conditioning system at home.

    Ambiant air temp is usually in the mid 90s, and i dont have a vent temp reading, but it gets COLDDDDDDDDD. Even in a 90 degree day in traffic, I can't have it on full cold. Doing more research, looks like my car uses a TXV system, not CCOT. So i guess it's working correctly because it's...

    RPM's on the 1J?

    1JZ's have useable power to 9500 with a correctly matched turbo and Jun cams, good springs, and retainers. Past 10, at least with the jun's and a stock head, there wasnt anything.

    Hurricane party my house. We are already feeling the effects here in Orlando. It's much colder, windy, and cloudy.

    RPM's on the 1J?

    65mm single. It's lower because of the higher force on the valves. Trust me, floating the valves on a 1JZ does NOT sound good. Thank god its a non interference motor.

    The apocalypse has begun.

    We now offically have the first tropical storm of the season, its not even the season... Tropical Storm Andrea is off our coast. It's a "cold" tropical storm. Instead of being a system that feeds off heat, it feeds off cold. We all remember seeing these before in the movies right? The Day After...

    what do you think am i running rich or missing something

    16 mpg is horrible for a 1JZGTE. Both my stock twin 1JZGTE SC300's with auto's averaged 20. My single car averages 22, and 28 on the highway
