I'm running this engine with the original A340E and using the old transmission control unit. The gearbox shifts fine and holds (shimmed). When pulling in D , it goes throug first gear like mad, then shifting to second it cuts the power a lot. When manualy driving in L and then shifting to 2...

What you will need is this : -1JZ torque converter, since 2JZ torque converters won't work. (Optionaly you could use the 7M by adding threaded 2.1mm blocks welded on top of the TC boltplates and turning an extension shaft to go onto the TC support shaft. - lots of work though) -1JZ...

Judging by the ecu i have, the engine i got came out of a 1997 Toyota Chaser. I'm at the point now where i lengthened the engine harness, and i know i'll have to pull out the automatic transmission control wires still, as i'll be using my old auto box the normal way. The problem im facing...

I have an engine with a CT15B to put in, and i'm wondering if there is a way to make it fit onto my existing 3" ma70 exhaust. Aaron told me on the phone they dont stock downpipes for this engine, and then i read on this forum about there being a CT26 conversion for the 1JZ. What are you...

Since i couldn't realy find any pictures or a real guide i decided to buy a steering collumn with the whole stuff on it and see if i could break that apart and get it working. (when experimenting buy used test parts or you'll end up stranded at one point). I took the plastic ring with the...

Rebuilt engine, new 57 trim turbo, 2000km old original hks SSQV. When i start boosting i hear a whining noise coming from the engine, it sounds somewhere between a supercharger whine and a starwars spaceship :-) It didnt do it after the rebuild, just a few weeks later. I checked for the...

Just cleaning up some small bugs after the rebuild. It idles fine when in drive and the brake pedal is pressed, however when put in Neutral or Park it idles at 1000 rpm, which makes it a bit jerky when you go form there to drive to pull away. Anyone know if im missing a switch or wire...

After the rebuild there were some issues so i started going down the list of vacuum hoses. Along the way i found something sparking under the fusebox. Turns out the previous owner had connected some thick wires with a bolt and shoved them out of the way under the fusebox. Anyone have an idea...

Ok, so the kids were trying to pull on the thing when i was shutting off the car. After that it wouldn't go up anymore :-) So i went about removing the side of the spoiler, the inside panneling and got to the antenna and pulled it inside to the trunk area. It's not like the guide on the...

I suffered a dead battery twice now in a week, so i recharged it and turned everything in the car off, doors closed and no key in ignition. I measured 16 milliamps current flowing from the battery to the car. Afer charging battery goes dead realy fast.

I got one of those ebay kits for keyless entry. Where do you guys fit the control box? in the door or under the dash somewhere?

I ordered a stainless turbo elbow and 3" downpipe , and then a catback turbo D2 exhaust. All piping is perfect 3" except for the start of the downpipe. The flange fits perfect, but the piping is only 2.5" up to just below the flexible tube. I looked at several brands and they all seem to...

I was looking up which brakepads i should order, but two types are listed for my 1990 7m-gte. Front: DP2610 or DP3610C Rear: DP2608/2 or DP3608/2C Was there a change during a certain year?

Ok, i've been strugling with this one for a while now. I have the standard code 5-2, which indicates a bad signal or broken knock sensor. So first thing i did was replace the wiring and connectors and i grounded it on one end. Measured things through and all is fine. Still get the code 5-2...

I bought this one in Germany, with major problems. It's slowly on it's way back to former glory and beyond :icon_bigg Purchased in germany for cheap money, due to the horrible state it was in. Car had major oilleakage from several places and the wrong fluids everywhere. (for example normal...
