The 1jz's are around .030 or 0.28. .025 if your running higher than stock boost...

lets not start fighting guys, this thread has stayed pretty positive the whole way so far. Chino, i appreciate the help, thanks.

ive got the plugs gapped at .33 which is what i read to do on supra forums, i talked to the shop and they said they will be done with the car sometime later today, unfortunately, i will be out of town picking up an lsd and some supra seats. when i find out the compression numbers i'll let you all know

did you connect the two big orange/black wires to a good ignition source?

new plugs gapped at .033

compression test came back within normal range for all 6 cylinders so the smoke is coming from the stock twins and we are waiting on new coil packs to address stumbling....

Sc2500tt what wires you reffering to?

the two orange and black wires is for the coilpacks ,this is the two wires on the plug way in the back .most of the time they need to be powered via ignition depending on how you wired your alternator.

sc250tt let me get this right so what your saying is that these wires need a SOLID 12V source when the car is on?
