    Need help identifying ecu component

    Hi, This is from a Blitz 1jz ecu. The three circled thyristors need replacement, they are part of the injection. The problem is that because they are fried I cannot measure what they should be to get replacements. The numbers on them (NEC D2162 K 08) don't give me anything on the web, I've only...

    spark plug, need part# for colder plug

    I'm running NGK BCR8ES plugs, but I would like to go one step colder because I'm suffering from some spark-knock/pre-ignition and want to try to see if I can cure it with a colder plug. However, the BCR9ES does not exist, the '8' is the coldest for that plug-type. I like that type of plug...

    brake MC problem

    I wanted to do a brake fluid change as I have done many times before on my supra (and other cars). Because I had been working on the car mostly last few years in stead of driving it I hadn't done a change for a few years and the times I did drive it was on the tracks, so I decided to let all the...

    AVC-R hook-up question

    Can anyone tell me why you have to hook-up the avcr solenoid differently with an external wastegate than an internal wastegate? internal: external: The big difference is that with the internal set-up the solenoid directly controls the wastegate and with the external set-up it acts as a...

    Fuel upgrade > how I did it (w/ pics)

    There’s many ways to upgrade your fuel system, this is just one of the ways to do it. This fuel set-up is to support a PT67 on a 1.5jz. For fuel (and ignition) management I use the eman blue in combination with a Blitz ecu, works nice. Old situation: in-tank walbro, mkiv 550’s The upgrades...

    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...

    injectors not firing

    I have upgraded my injectors from 2jz 550's to SARD 800's. The SARD's are high impedance, I checked, they're a bit over 14Ohm. So I took out the resistor pack which the low impedance 550's needed. I did this by cutting the wires after the round plug on the resistorbox side and connected all...

    Alternative wire loom routing

    A few threads back EvilEmpire 1.3GTE described how to route the 1jz wire loom if you don't want to extend it. I thought it was a nice idea to clean up the engine bay and the added benefit will be that the loom doesn't have to go past the hot turbo side. As I was in the process of putting my...

    Difference 1jz and 2jz headgasket *pics*

    I am in the process of building up my 1.5jz again. (I had some piston and head damage due to a broken nose from a plug) As I was about to put the head back on I thought it would be nice to take some pics of my old 2jz hg and the new 1jz hg. (FYI, the 2jz headgasket is only 1 year old, it is not...
