AEM doesn't sell a 1jz plug-n-play box.
so DM sells a Honda plug-n-play aemv2 that they sell with a jumper harness to plug into a 1jz, and they give you a calibration file for it as well (from what i understand).
also, did anyone else notice that suprastore sells what seems to be the exact same honda box 1jz/jumper AEMv2 for $1900 while it's like $1200 at DM?

Actually I checked their website for many items on my build, and they are quite crazy on some of their pricing.. Way too much... Quick, check your PM.... Yes, I have another question. Do I need a boost controller? I currently have a 18 pound spring installed in the wastegate, is this too big for the first initial start up? Secondly, on oiling the turbo before start up, can I just unplug the steel line size 4 from the block and squirt oil from a bottle that way? How much? if this is the correct way? Bare with me, this is my first turbo build folks.

I just spoke with my welder, and I think I might be going to use a four inch DP. He has my 3 inch and his 4 inch to go by. If we can get to work thats the route I have chosen to go with. Another reason, is for the stock hole for the 02 sensor is cut out on mine. I bought this AEM wideband and no longer need this, so I think I have my mind set on this 4 inch DP.. Plus I think it will look sick in the engine bay!!!!

I would personally run a weaker wastegate spring. Maybe 12psi or 15 psi. You can always turn it up if you start low. I'd prefer to not be kept at 18psi+. Also, if you need to turn the boost up, I thought you were going to get the aem boost control solenoid. Right? No need for an extra controller when you have an aem

I replaced the starter and it still did it, long story short it cost me a block.
On the second engine it did the same , and it never did that on my SC300 .i drove the car to work on a saturday to fix my power steering leak i then decided to figure this thing out

I undid the 12V mod and my car started right up, with the 12v mod after a couple cranks it will lock up, but this time it didn't do it.
I think it has something to do with me being on AEM. i didn't try to find out why the 12v mod was causing that while i was on AEM at that point i just wanted my car to run great and not cost me another engine.
You don't need that 12V when you are on AEM EMS any , because the AEM ECU does it for YOU
