    1jz drop problems

    If you're with more than one person; keep the driveshaft attached, it's easy. On your own it's quite difficult, I didn't manage it on my own so I took it off and installed it afterwards.

    Need info on catch can

    What do you guys think of this one? It is designed for mustangs, cobra's and such, so capacity wise I think it would be suitable for us. The seller claims to have sold them for over 5 years and they are used on supercharged and nitrous cars. It costs only $32. I like the functionality of it...

    Need info on catch can

    I am looking for an internally baffled catch can. I have visited many websites who sell catch cans, but they don't say if they're baffled inside or not. Also left some questions at a few sites, but so far no response. I did a search on here and found somewhere it said Greddy have baffled cc's...

    I bought a parts car today

    It's just sad. Over here we rip all useable bits out and the shell is just scrap metal. Done quite a few of them in the past, we usually get $30 when they come pick it up, which buys us our shoarma :biglaugh:

    1JZ auto to manual swap questions

    It's not that difficult. An auto ecu and a manual ecu are the same engine wise. All an auto ecu has more is circuits to drive the auto gearbox. When going to a manual gearbox, the only thing to alter is to by-pass the neutral-safety switch, you can keep using the auto ecu without any...

    injector keeps pumping gas into cylinder

    As the possibillity that it is a faulty injector has been ruled out and if 1 cylinder is not firing it can't be the injectordrivers as they are fired in pairs; you would allways see 2, 4 or all injectors not firing if there's an injectordriver problem. On the ecu there's only 3 injector ports...

    3sgte-best motor toyota ever made

    It has all to do with handling; the weight of the engine sits behind the front axle so less understeer and more willing to go around a corner, it is lighter and more responsive than the straight sixes. It will not be a streetable combination but be perfect for on the tracks. btw, top secret did...

    AM2 fuse blows

    Looking at how random it occurs, I'd say you indeed have a short somewhere. Guess the only way to find out will be to go through the wiring. It's a pain, I've been there and also have replaced a wire or two. Good luck.

    **FOR YOU GUYS CONCERNED ABOUT LAG**

    I'm with Drewgo. The stock ecu timing and fuel IS tuned for the stock twins like he described. What amount of gains you can achieve depends greatly on all other components and in which combination they are used; what type of in- and ex manifold, type of cams, type of turbo, type of IC, exhaust...

    Can I remove a lower timing cover with the pulley still on?

    Yep, you need to get it off, the waterpump is half behind the lower cover and 3 little bolts from the lower cover are hidden behind the pulley. But you're not on your own though, I need to get mine off as well, I popped my fms... You keep surprizing me Rob, first you manage to collect the...

    Need Single Turbo Oil return flange

    You need the right one in the pic and need a gasket inbetween. And yes, it bolts right up to the block.

    OK, I need help with a fuel problem...

    What are you using for fuel/ignition management? It sounds like you're running too rich; your plugs foul up and don't ignite good enough anymore and I guess the smoke is dark brown? And the goo on the back would be unburned fuel. Be carefull with that, you can get bore wash when plugs are not...

    Cat sensor?

    From all the failed engines I've seen due to too hot temps, including two of myself, I've never seen damage at #1 cylinder, #5 cylinder is the first to go, #6 will hold a little longer because the coolant flow at the back of the block is more than what #5 gets. I have an Apexi egt meter and it...

    Apexi Fuel Pump

    As long as it runs on 12V and will fit through the hole in the tank it should work. Would love to see the specs though.

    Cat sensor?

    Wideband is for monitoring A/F ratio's. If you go up in performance, you will get closer to the max. temps parts of your engine can sustain before failing, you will want to keep an eye on that. On an EGT (exhaust gas temperature) meter you can monitor these temps. Most ideal would be six of...
