i would say contact Kaiser. he's the local 2jz-ge master who knows the 2jz like the back of his hand.

I dont think it matters knowing the 2JZ that much just for the boost controller do we??

Steve, travis. Where you guys at

wildrice09

Well, like clifford said, Kaiser is the best man to talk to because he has a 1st gen GS300 with a 2jz-gte in it and he has also previously owned a 1jz-gte swapped SC. He did all the work himself so he knows pretty much everything you need to know about putting in a wastegate, boost controller and pretty much anything that has to do with the 2jz-gte/1jz-gte.

I was thinking more along the lines of dash disassembly and wiring schematics for constant and switched 12v sources.. **** like that..

It'd be great to have Kaiser along also, the more the merrier.

BeanTWNSC3

SQuester

Somy6

Sweet. Well it seems like its:

Somy6 (That would be me)
and you Squester. When and where?? I am open all day Saturday, Sunday and Monday.. You guys pick

We should make it like an install day or something.. I only have the boost controller and i have been dying to change the WG spring. Not sure if you guys are down for that though

SQuester

My house is always open.. If it's decided to come here, i'll PM my address to those who plan to attend.


Saturday and sunday works, doesn't really matter to me.. Would prefer nothing before 9-10am or so..


What kind of wastegate do you have, and is it recirculated to the downpipe or just dumped?

I would think replacing the WG spring would be the priority, since your EBC works based of the springs pressure as a baseline.

Kaiser

A good EBC will do about 125% on top of the wastegate spring. What spring is in there now?

SQuester

I think he's boosting too high.. I thought I read that somewhere..


So Kaiser, feel like meeting up this weekend?

Somy6

I have an 11psi WG spring in there right now and I bought the 7psi and thats what i wanted to install and should have in there. Guys please say when you wanna do this. Obviously Squester and I are down for saturday and sunday. So i guess Steve and Neantwn should decide. Peace fellas

Kaiser

I have an 11 psi spring in mine too and I run 16psi on the street. Sounds like something else isn't right. Is it spiking or overboosting?

My mother in law flies in on Saturday night so maybe I can persuade her to watch the kid on Sunday. No Guarantees. My wife is still doing her internship for 3 more weekends. Then I get some kind of life back.

Somy6

Well my guage reads 1 bar at full boost. But i am debating if the guage is accurate or not. Do any of you guys have the tool to do a compression test?? I did mine before and it was at 125-126 all 6 cylinders. I asked the guys on Clubna-t they said the guage is probably messed up cause thats too low. Or maybe i got lucky and have a HG in there

The compression test tool can be rented or purchased from autozone/checkers.
