    1jzgte 89 supra swap woes (Leaking FPR and no dash illumination)

    Hello I recently swapped a 1jz-gte from a jza70 into my 89 turbo. I have two or three remaining issues. First is that my fpr is leaking where it bolt into the steel block (with the fuel feed hose). I tried changing the crush-washers but it still leaked a bit. How can I fix it permanently...

    Bouncy Speedometer Needle?

    if it's a constant but very very very small bounce, like a vibration in the needle let's say. that would be the cable and overtime would it become worse?

    Your 1JZ-GTE And 2JZ-GTE Swap Guide For Dummies Discussion Thread!

    there should be a part in the motor mount section where it warns you that you'll have to beat the firewall a bit, otherwise the rear turbo hit the firewall and you can't even get close to dropping the mount in the subframe. Just so it doesn't get worrying when it doesn't trop right in at least...

    What would cause my rpms to loop from 1200-2400

    vacuum leak can be a bad runner-to-intake-manifold gasket. But I doubt it. The hose running to the valve cover is for the pcv and shouldnt affect the vacuum, except for the one to the pcv valve. but your idle problem is probably something else

    What would cause my rpms to loop from 1200-2400

    I would think blocking it would cause the car to die? (no more air). but the throttle plate stop screw might keep it slightly open. what's your vacuum reading?

    how many of you run steering coolers on your swap?

    the pressure drop shouldn't be a problem since it is on the return side (barely any pressure to begin with). I doubt it would cause a restriction in the system

    4k RPM turbo lag?!?!

    definitly not normal, my old blown ct-26 could make 10psi by 2.5k rpm and my fresh 57-ct26 would make 14psi @ 2.7k and 18@3.2 ish

    What do I replace the hydro pump with?

    it's not that bad really if the engine is in the car. first gear, handbrake, a big breaker bar and you can loose the crank pulley bolt, then use a puller to remove it. Unbolt both timing belt cover, remove the belt tensionner and you're ready to remove the pump. I did it while the engine was...

    What do I replace the hydro pump with?

    you can,t use the 2j pulley as it is similar to the 7m one (4 studs holding the fanclutch/pulley instead of a splined shaft and a bolt). I think your best bet is to change the waterpump assembly alltogether with a 2jz unit
