    How to tell Difference between USDM and JDM 2JZGTE Cams?

    I have had a set of 2JZGTE cams but I don't know for sure that they are USDM. (the guy I bought them from said they were machined for a 1JZ, they are not, so I can't be sure about where they are from). They have the 2JT stamp on one, then JZ on the other, and a few other number stamps, and also...

    1JZ Power Steering Pump Replacement Questions

    So I am trying to figure out the variations in the power steering pumps between the 1J's and 2J's. From product pictures, it looks like the 2JZGE power steering pump is the same as the 1JZGTE pump, whereas the 2JZGTE pump has a third ear for an additional bolt to run through. Can anyone...

    killing 1jz alternators?? long explanation, need help!

    my 1jz seems to have killed two (one was the stock, one oem rebuild) alternators in a short amount of time. so here's what happened: about 3-4 months ago, the "your alt. isn't charging" dash warning lights started coming on (and staying on for progressively longer periods of time) until the...

    1JZ running very dirty, Trying to Pass Emissions Test

    two years ago, my 1JZ passed Virginia emissions just fine. now, it failed HC's, CO% and NO at both test speeds. no codes stored in the ecu. stock engine with intake, 3" exhaust and MINE's ECU. one symptom is that it is slow to start (cranks 3-4 times to start), unless the engine is cold...

    Alternate Location for Cruise Control On/Off Buttons

    Converting non-ABS r154 to ABS

    My '88 came with ABS stock. The previous owner had the current 1JZ/JDM r-154 swapped in, from a non-abs supra. Initially I thought I was simply missing the rear abs speed sensor, mounted on the extension housing/output housing of the trans. (the body connector is in place; antilock code...

    Who Has Fit 5-1/4'' Speakers In Front Stock Speaker Pods?? ('88)

    I am doing some research on replacing my front and rear speakers, and am wondering if I can squeeze some 5-1/4" speakers in the front. Has anyone had success with this, without replacing the speaker pods?? I am willing to do a little cutting, but nothing major. Pics would be good. Also...

    this problem just started today. when I turn the key all the way off and the tt counts down, the radio stays on. the clock also stays lit up. nothing else stays on, just my aftermarket head unit and clock. I tried removing the tt jumper harness but it still does the same thing without the...

    1JZ intake recommendations?

    I currently have an HKS intake thats been on there since I got the car, and the filter is looking really worn out and dirty. Also, there is a crack in the rubber pipe where it attaches to the turbo inlet "T", so I figure I should just start with a new setup. Here's my current intake...

    Heat issue after coolant drain and fill

    When I changed my timing belt the other week, I removed the radiator, and filled it back up with 50/50 mix, almost 2 gallons worth. Now when I turn on the heat, it always blows luke-warm, from 65-85. When I change the temp, I can hear the slight clicking of it changing the amount of...

    The "Name that Connector Game"

    Under the steering column, near the pedals, I found a connector not plugged in, and was wondering what it was. Does anyone know what the bigger connector is for? My first thought was SuperMonitor wiring, but I have no idea... How about the little one? The connector on the right is one of...

    Will an '89+ steering column combo switch fit on a pre '89??

    Just wondering if I can swap my 88 combo switch assembly (wipers and headlight stalks) for an 89+ one. Is the connector under the dash the same? Will it just slide onto the column and fit correctly?? I like the look of the 89+, and my headlight switch has seen better days. Thanks

    I need to change my timing belt asap, and cannot find the 1jz Timing Belt Idler: p/n 13505-46020. I got the timing belt, cam seals, and tensioner from Jeff at Champion Toyota, (which I highly recommend doing!! GREAT prices) but he can't get me an idler, or at least not in the next few months...

    Well, I think I got ripped off...

    So I bought some "2JZ cams, machined to fit the 1JZ" a few months back from a guy on SF , and I finally got a chance to put them in today...or try to. The replacement cams definitely were not machined to fit a 1j. The #1 exhaust cam journal is not wide enough was the first thing I noticed...
