I think I am hitting fuel/boost cut. I'll start a nice smooth pull then theres a pop and acceleration just stops, check engine light comes on, I just take my foot off the gas and then it goes away and the car is back to normal. It's only happened about 3 times but each time has been when its...

There is no change or absence of the noise regardless of oil pressure. I measured pedal free height and free play last night. Height was good, free play was over spec a bit so I adjusted, this caused no change in the symptoms. If I installed the PP backwards, wouldn't there be grinding almost...

Can anyone take a shot at this? I am waiting for some wheels I sent off to be widened on my G8 to return, so I can get the supra on jackstands and dismantle the drivetrain. Until then I'm driving the supra every day, and I still have the same symptoms. Thanks for any input!

LTL1J : little 1J :-)

Help me out here... military ranking? No prior or current military service required for the plate, just an option available in the great Nation of Texas :-)

I would check the bvsv as well. BTW, does anyone know off hand what fuse controls that valve?

89+ w/ 1JZ swap. DM Stage 2 clutch kit (2800lb. pp w/ OEM disc), aluminum flywheel, stock driveshaft. The problem manifested after putting about 1000 miles on the swap. Whenever the car is cold, and upon startup, there will be a brief grinding, definitely like a rotating piece(s) are hitting...

sweet!

Nah it's too damn cold up there to be stealing pics of someone else's moneypit! So what causes the CT12a's to do this? I assume it is a metal seal of some sort? If so that is confusing in itself as a metal seal shouldn't start to leak, unless the sealing force acting on it has diminished or...

Well I got under car last night, the oil drop has returned and its even more evident. I pulled the Turbo heat shield back and tried to get a pic, the oil seems to be coming from somewhere on the Turbo housing I can't tell where though. I will post pics when I get to my PC. Sent from...

I do, thanks for the reply. I cleaned it up a few days ago, am getting under the car this evening.

So went in and removed my spark plugs. I had them gapped way to much (~.040"). Reduced them all to ~.029" and had pretty significant cracks on 3 coils. I heat shrinked them up and slapped everything back together. The car pulls hard to redline and I haven't noticed any of the previous symptoms!

Very recently I have noticed a subtle, brief grinding noise upon cold start. It happens with and without the clutch depressed, and seems to be getting more pronounced. It it intermittent upon start and will only last about 10-20 seconds, then it goes away. It sounds like it is coming from the...

I figured as much, but better safe than sorry. Thanks hvyman!

Ok this may be a pretty silly question, but are the ignition coils specific to cylinder number? The reason I ask is that on the side of each ignition coil, I see a designation stamped into the plastic, ranging from A1 to A6.

Thanks man, it does, no doubt. But I'm not so sure it will ever be "complete", hah! Yeah I took another look last night but didnt see where it could be coming from.

I know this isnt really on topic but I thought you guys might like this, the first time I took her on a roadtrip since even before starting the swap (like 5 years, swap and everything else took almost 2!)

Joe I'm not running any controller at all right now. I also don't think I have boost creep, but definitely not positive on that. I just know that all of a sudden when I get around 5k+ rpm now the boost just falls off and I hear this sputtering/popping. You think that it would like colder...

I didn't think so, I don't think I would have missed that before I dropped the motor in but I don't take myself that seriously, hah! By "charge pipe" what exactly are you referring to? I will scope out the intercooler for oil tonight. Oh and yeah I thought the same thing when I uploaded...
