    Oil leak on my 2jz

    If it's higher up, I'd suggest it could be power steering fluid. There is an o-ring that seals the suction fitting to the pump (hose from the reservoir goes to it). It is common for this to leak. I'd suggest cleaning the engine off, and trying to find where the leak is. Jeff

    TRD shift knob on ebay(trust worthy?)

    It's not cheap enough that I'd consider it fake. It's about normal price for those knobs. Looks real. Jeff

    door handle differences?

    Hey, you're right, it was pretty quick. Yes they are the same. Jeff

    87 and late 89 motor mounts

    You need the late 89 mounts on the late 89 brackets. Everything should match the crossmember that is in the car you are trying to put the motor into. Nothing should be mix/matched. Jeff

    JZA70 Torsen Differential Help!

    Nothing, you should have everything, just bolt it in. (You will need some gear oil to fill it.) Jeff

    new option for 7mgte coils?

    Charge is started on the rising edge of the signal wave, spark is triggered on the falling edge. The time between those two is the dwell. The igniter can handle much more power than the ECU can. Jeff

    JZA70 Torsen Differential Help!

    No they're not. The half shafts are identical. The axle stubs in the differential are different, but chances are they came with the diff. Jeff

    Are you sure it was a knock sensor? LOL. Jeff

    new option for 7mgte coils?

    I missed this before, but no, none of them are smart igniters. All are ECU-controlled dwell, as are most newer igniters. Jeff

    new option for 7mgte coils?

    Sorry my mistake. I didn't say what I was thinking, lol. Camry/ES300 = 8/8 pin connectors Supra/Avalon = 12/4 pin connectors Jeff

    new option for 7mgte coils?

    89621-33020 is the 6-channel igniter used in the 94-95 Camry/ES300. 89621-35011 is a 3-channel igniter used in the 96 Camry/ES300 (and others). Another choice is the actual 1JZ/2JZ 6-channel igniter, which was also used on the 95 Avalon, it has 2 connectors instead of just 1 like the Camry...

    new option for 7mgte coils?

    Also make sure you get one from a Camry with 6 coils. Toyota went to 6-coils and then later to 3 coils wasted spark, so get one from a sequential ignition setup. It's basically the same as the 2JZ igniter with a different connector. Jeff

    new option for 7mgte coils?

    The reason the 2JZ coils work well is because they are quite short. Not saying these won't work, just that mounting and getting wires for them seems like it'd be more hassle than getting coils designed for a 6-cylinder that are already shorter. But, post resulting pictures if you do go for...

    whats the best timing belt

    If you want to go OEM, get an OEM Toyota one, forget about getting one from another company. IMO, of course. Jeff

    Just found a life saver or rather a back/neck saver.

    It happens on my 2009 Corolla (which even has a cabin air filter). It can even be from the type of glass cleaner used. Often times it will leave a tiny bit of residue on the glass, and the dust from your vents slowly sticks to it. If the cleaner is not wiped off extremely well. On the other...

    R-134A Retrofit Kit

    Jdub was referring to the fact that the 7M-GTE forum is for posting threads related to 7M-GTE specific topics. The A/C in the car is not a GTE specific topic and therefore does not belong in the forum you posted in. As far as conversions. Toyota offers all the parts to do a conversion, but if...

    Scan Tools! Informative Discussion

    What type of dealership are you working at? What types of vehicles will you normally be using it on? What year ranges? Just curious. Jeff

    1jz with 2jz water pump over heating

    The port on the side is the coolant feed for one of the stock turbos. If you aren't running a water cooled turbo, or you have it fed from another spot, it should be blocked off. There is nothing special about the 2JZ water pump being used on the 1JZ. In fact the 1JZ-GTE in the Soarer uses the...

    Changing Camshafts

    Toyota sells shims in 0.05mm (Approximately 0.002in) increments. Even if you aren't replacing the cams, and just putting the original ones back in, check and adjust the valve clearance. There is a reason you are supposed to check and adjust it periodically. Jeff
