    Bad ECU vs. Bad IAC Valve

    Did you ever get this fixed? I am having the same issue now and it got so bad it barely idles and dies now. I pulled my ecu apart and saw that I had one small capacitor that was leaking.

    Backfiring, dies when at a stop, stuttering when accelerating, smelly exhaust

    Ok...so I have a 1JZ GTE swap in an 87 Supra. Ever since I have owned it it has run perfectly and very strong. I even held off an SRT8 Charger the last time I drove it. I drove it today just fine and I put in a little gas cuz it was almost empty and I accidentally put in 90 octane which I...

    Removing a tensioner spring in the tranny?

    LMAO I figured as much....I am now thinkin of ditchin the tickets and callinit a loss cuz I just found a waaaaay cleaner one for the same price and its all stock and looks to be done very well. Its basically the swap from a clip and nothing else but exhaust and fp. I would rather start from...

    Removing a tensioner spring in the tranny?

    Care to elaborate? I know cars pretty well but I fail when it comes to transmissions.

    Removing a tensioner spring in the tranny?

    I can see in a way why it would make some sense since the rear end is a 4.27 so it extremely torquey and would probably render 1st gear useless. I jus spoke with the owner and he assured me it was a new tranny out of a supra and that he was gong to contact his toyota tech friend who basically...

    Removing a tensioner spring in the tranny?

    Yeah...that sucks...I got my hopes all up but I may have to err on the side of caution an cut my losses on the plane ticket...What are some of the more reliable vendors for transmissions? I can check prices at least and then maybe chance it if the tranny isnt too much...

    Removing a tensioner spring in the tranny?

    How bad is this? Im picking it up for 8k seems like a steal so if it isnt that bad then I may still pick it up...I already got a plane ticket to fly out and meet up with him but I wanna make sure it will make back the 12 hour drive. Is it something I can live with for a while?

    Removing a tensioner spring in the tranny?

    How hard/expensive is it to replace something like that? He says it has no affect on driveablity and it still is running a 12 second quarter mile.

    Removing a tensioner spring in the tranny?

    Ok so I am about to go out of state to check out a GS300 with a 2jzgte swap it has a supra automatic tranny and the rear end is 4.27 from a Lexus LS I believe. The owner says that he removed tensioner spring in the tranny so when in automatic mode it will start in 2nd gear as opposed to 1st...

    1JZ-Intermittently Won't Start

    I def plan on doing that...there are all sorts of odds and ends that don't really belong anymore in the bay lol and now I can paint the car black and not have to worry so much about the bay being a different color 8D

    1JZ-Intermittently Won't Start

    Hey sorry I havent checked back for a while... I had the car at a friends house who was gonna swap the stock turbos for some rebuilt ones but decided if I am gonna pull the whole engine to pull the stockers off might as well wait and just go single turbo. So it was out of commission for a few...

    Yes I wasnt able to drive when they came out but ever since I learned of em I have been a huge fan. I have had mine for 5 years now and I never plan on gettin rid of it.

    Some May Consider It Blasphemous...

    LOL I was wondering if anybody would notice that...Its an 87 pretty much all stock except side exit exhaust, walbro fp, and a scanmaster. exterior doesnt have 1 ding in it even though it looks shitty cuz of the paint. Interior is flawless. I got big plans for it too. Im thinkin a 4.1 budget...
