    Another Ignition Problem Thread

    I've been scouring all of the misfire, ignition problem, and car running rough threads on this forum for weeks and have also been keeping my eye on the Supraforums for ideas on what to do. I haven't come up with the right answer yet, so I am posting my own thread for my own symptoms and...

    Vacuum check valve?

    I popped my hood a couple weeks ago and noticed that there was a vacuum hose sticking out near my intake filter that had come loose when (what appears to be) a vacuum check valve broke. *Pics are thumbnails to help the dial up folks :) So I went to Napa and picked up a universal...

    LSD/Differential Questions - Need Advice

    I've got an 86.5 N/A that has been transformed over the last 2 years to a 1JZ and has been running great. However, I knew from the moment I bought the car that the diff was dying at 150k miles. Had lots of slop and made clunking sounds from time to time. Now, after driving it with the 1JZ...

    Alternator and Water pump

    I have some more noob questions for you kind folks :) I am going to put in an electric fan and scrap the hydraulic system from the 1JZ fan and water pump. Will a 2JZ water pump fit the 1JZ? Will it work with the serpentine belt system? Other question is will a 2JZ 90 amp alternator fit...

    R-154 Clutch

    Just wanted to get any additional ideas you guys have on sources and clutch options for the R-154. I've done a search, but since the old site died, we are sorely lacking information. I am planning on pricing just the disc from Toyota (stock replacement) and tracking down some aftermarket...

    Experiences with Venus Auto

    This post will probably be quite long, but I wanted to post my experiences with Venus Auto here for the benefit of others who may be looking for an engine/clip in the future. I bought my 86.5 N/A about a year ago with the intent of swapping in a 1JZ and restoring the car to pristine...
