k well finally got that motor in after pulling another all nighter but nevertheless. now just gotta figure out the ic piping and were I'm going to mount the intercooler and a few other small things

will post better/more pics tomorrow. hopefully can get her running tomorrow we will see

StiCk3: its a spec 2+ clutch

 

looking good

 

nice im thinking about 1jz swap too...

 

sorry for the late update just been busy. anyways got the motor in and cranked up on the1st try. ill get pics up tomorrow. gonna have to re-cut some of the ic piping for the bumper to fit. i do however have a problem. i have the 3k cut even though my car is a 92( really don't think it matters what year model) and cant seem to fix it. my coil packs are good and i have copper plugs gapped at 0.3. really don't see how it could be fuel related cause when it hits 3k rpm it sputters and backfires and wont go anymore. any one have some good suggestions( preferably not fuel related, will try 12vmod and put my walbro in if that's my only option) i tried the nss bypass thing and it didn't seem to work but then again my starter is kinda rigged so idk. any help will be appreciated cause I'm stumped

 

oh yea also forgot, my speedometer isn't working and i wired the tranny connectors into the 1jz harness but was unsure on this yellow colored wire so i just connected them all maybe thats it idk?

 

anybody tell me what they did when they ran into this problem it has to be ignition related

 

well got my downpipe in today finally after ordering it 2 weeks ago come to find out out the dam thing is a 2bolt pattern flange and not 3, go figure . hopefully exhaust shop can fix that. still could use some help on my 3k cut i will try everything i know of after i get off tomorrow . maybe ill get lucky and figure it out

 

I got your PM, and currently searching for a remedy/solution to the RPM cut..where in TX are you? I dont remember if I asked already..

Nice thread. Can't wait to hear when everything is up and running well

 

thanks kwg
well i fell pretty stupid now. went to the car to try and tackle the 3k cut problem and was looking under steering wheel at some wires. i let my friend do the starter while i was getting my ic piping to fit and he must have accidentally taped an unnecessary wire cause i disconnected and bamm!!! problem solved. also finished hiding most of the wires i had layin on top of my motor.
here she is:


took a drill bit from old job and made my ic piping fit perfect:


cut this hole before i found this spot

and i ran out of money so here's my cheap power steering reservoir:


now i just have to hide my cable to my battery in my trunk and get my speedo to work and put the bumper back on

 

hopefully will be getting the exhaust done tomorrow after work. cant wait to hear what it sounds like

 

Why dont you just run the IC piping through that hole. I think itll look alot better.

 

already i have it routed through that little cubby hole i have an idea to fix that hole i drilled anyway. well went to exhaust shop yesterday and they don't even have flange for my 1j so i will have to find one on ebay or somethin hopefully that way i can get a custom dp made
also can anybody please tell me if i should do the 12v mod if im installing a walbro fuel p ump

 

alright i had i some free time and got my bov mounted. just wondering did you other 1jz guys buy the bolck off plate of i heard u can use freeze plugs? just lookin for the better fix here
