    1.5JZ parts list

    So I've decided to build a 1.5JZ. Not out of want, but out of need. I've been reading up and so far, I've figured out that I need: 2JZ Timing Belt & Idler 2JZ Water Neck 2JZ Bypass Tube I really need to do this on a tight budget. I've got leads on a few GTE short blocks. Will I need to...

    1JZ "hunting" at idle

    It started with a low idle about 2 weeks ago, then about a week ago it kicked up to normal. Then it started climbing to 1500, then 2000 one day. Now it's fluctuating between 1400 and 2100, and floats up and down at about one cycle per second. At first I thought it would be the idle speed...

    I found this rather odd

    So I went out front for a smoke earlier, and found a note under the windshield wiper on the Supra. "I have some parts for your car that you might want (cheap) Call me -Ed (phone number)" I'm curious if this is anyone here, probably not. The only thing I could really use right now is...

    Fuel cut or detonation?

    While driving with my nice new boost controller, I hear a popping noise from the exhaust and the car bucks a little. I know that fuel cut is normally a BIG hit, then it builds boost again and another BIG hit. But this is different. What is happening is more "rapid fire," popping accompanied...

    GReddy PRofec B Spec-II setting questions

    Does any one here have experience using the PRofec B Spec-II on a 1JZ with the stock twins? I followed Joe's kindergarten diagram and got it hooked up, but here's what is happening... I set the boost @ 39% (which, if stock is 10.8 PSI should be around 15) and when I start to boost, it spikes...

    What voltage does the stock o2 use?

    Does anyone here know the operating voltage of the stock 1JZ oxygen sensor? I'm hooking in my AEM wideband UEGO and controller and have it on the wrong damn setting, so the car runs so lean it's barely drivable. Also, what setting SHOULD it be on? Someone told me that the o2 runs a 0.0-1v. Is...

    1JZ vs Integra vs 5.0 Mustang

    If I raced them, here's how it happened: 7 PM, somewhere in the East Bay: I'm driving home from work, and see a blue DC2 Integra GSR racing between traffic. We get to a section where it's 3 lanes, and I get right behind him in the #3 lane. He takes off, and flies to the next stop light...

    1JZ runs better with an air leak?

    So last Saturday, I installed my Aeromotive AFPR kit. While I'm doing it, I notice a vacuum line to the power steering unit had popped off. (This line goes from the top of the p/s pump to the manifold, just behind the throttle body) Guess I was boosting better than I thought. :biglaugh: Anyway...

    Installing A Boost Gauge

    I went out and bought a cheap (APC) boost gauge tonight just for shits and giggles. I also bought a pillar pod, but it doesn't fit and looks like crap, so it's getting returned. The instructions are crap, nothing but pictures. There's a power inverter type thing, which has one red wire, one...
