If you're having breakup problems over 6psi, I would suggest making sure your spark plugs are still somewhat clean and are gapped around .028 each. Never trust a 'pre-gapped' plug. ;)

Almost? Damn... we gotta work harder then. ;) You know, you might be past the BHG, but you won't be past the paranoia for a good long while. :p

Check for shorts in the wiring, and check all of your grounds. Might be missing some punctuation in there somewhere too.

I used one of those things that you cap off the 2-3" holes in office desks with, since my stock harness hole wasn't used when we swapped to the 1j. Worked pretty well, and as far as I know, I haven't had any rats in the car.

If it were anywhere but Florida that this were happening, I would think it to be common sense, but you should NOT drive the car until this is figured out. Might be a good idea to keep a fire extinguisher handy too. ;)

I'm thinking he means just the turbo Lonnie. Otherwise, yeah, he would be out of his mind to think that would happen with $700. :p

If the 1j (or 2j) you get comes with an auto trans, pull the bellhousing from that one, and put it on your trans. ;)

You should ask it that. While you're at it, should let Chuck Norris know he wears a silly hat. ;) Same applies to the inverse (Ford motor in a Chevy). I could have had an EFI 5.0 from (I think) an old Foxbody to put in my Chevy for dirt cheap. Couldn't do what amounts to sacrilege...

Spam or spam, most likely. :)

Read the JZ section stickied threads, to get an idea of what all is involved here. LOT of good info in there. As was suggested, try and get someone to give you a ride in their car, see if you like it. Hell, if it weren't for my buddy Andrew taking me for a ride in his car, I would possibly be a...

Live and learn sir... I paid about 3k more for my car than I should have considering its 7m wasn't exactly in the best of shape when I bought it. :p

Are you guys parked in a mall? :p Car looks nice though.

How did it turn out, did you solve your issue? :)

Welcome back. It is tomorrow now, where's the pics? :p

Definitely sounds unique, thanks for finally posting! :)

Hate to say it, but... these guys might be on to something. Then again, a car is meant to be driven. Just get it appraised soon. ;) Hey man, those tires might have had JDM air in them! (unlikely due to how tires naturally leak air, but still...) My suggestion, get that Corolla fixed as soon...

I don't recall seeing said post? Wish I could help you out sir, but I haven't actually installed mine yet. Just mentioned that I have the same bumper, and was wondering how those fogs would look. Now I know. :) Dunno though, if I might make a suggestion, I would say to move the mounts more...

You know, maybe I just got lucky? I bought my motor in February 2009, it was running in October 2009. Total spent on getting it running and driving? About $4000. $2200 for the motor/trans shipped to the shop, $800 for porting/polishing, $600 for cams, and about $400-500 for the full gasket kit...

This. Unless they can prove it (which is difficult unless you get a front cut of the car its coming from), it can be hard to say just how many miles are on the car. For what it is worth, my turbos have held up nicely enough, but we were pretty sure that one of them had been replaced in Japan...

If anything, shield the piping you have now. See the 1977 7mgte Celica in the Other Cars section, in one of his updates, he showed how he routed the intake piping, and shielded it from excess heat. I don't see why the theory wouldn't apply to the NA as well as the turbo car. Question to the OP...
