sc300 soarer swap will not rev!?!
so an introduction to my problems, iv got a 95 sc300 with a soarer 1jzgte. swap went smooth and after extending the harness i thought i was good to go, but i was wrong. in neutral i can rev out all day no problems, but as soon as i try to drive it cuts out at 3000 to 4000 rpm. ive changed plugs, check my map sensor, cleaned the tps, checked all my vacuums, checked all my grounds,i did the 12v mod for the fuel pump, and i jumped my starter. the car has probably sitting for about a month now due to this problem. im stuck and i need some help, this is my first lexus after switching from the s-chassis crowd.
any advice, help, or hints would be much appreciated.

coming from boosted dsm's I would check for a BOOST LEAK!!!!! Do you have a wideband controller? I bet you are going super rich once you start to build boost. Otherwise, I would say maybe you are getting spark blow out but that doesnt occur until you get into higher psi.
I would definitely boost leak test.
If I had to put money on it you are leaking severe boost.

^ this guy knows his stuff. Check the ecu. It's one of the first things you should do when getting the swap in the mail or wherever it came from. Also check your timing marks. Your question about the other stuff besides check engine light makes me think you shouldn't be touching this at all without at least 5 hours more research on what it takes to make this work.
Also, don't waste your time with boost leaks on your speed/density based 1j. If your car had a maf sensor then you'd have a reason to be concerned.
Another thing, read the other thread about 1j cutting out on the same page as this one. There's lots of things to check after the initial obvious type things.

ok so i opened up the ecu this morning and all the resistors look good and there are no burn marks on the board.
and as far as research goes, i have looked everywhere for answers and came up with nothing, that's why im in desperate need for some help.
ill admit i probably bit off more than i can chew at this point, like i said i have a pretty extensive background in s-chassis so this is a whole new word for me.
