    My buddy just ordered a gasket set from this site. It took about a month due to a little mix up but they're still selling them.

    Eliminating cats

    Of course you can do it but you'll get a check engine light. The light doesn't hurt anything though.

    Sorry I didn't see this sooner I haven't been active here forever. My power steering just bolted up with the stock lines. Are you sure the lines that go to the radiator aren't transmission cooler lines? Anyway I sold my old transmission and adapter to my buddy who is putting a uz in his old...

    Cressida 1uz swap running terribly

    Yes it was a giant furball lol. No the catalyst had busted and become an obstruction. I got the cat at a little Mexican exhaust shop super cheap. There was only about 3/4 of an inch cat material on each end and the rest was hollow. Very poor quality. Not sure If it melted and busted up or if I...

    Yes I checked all those things except getting the injectors cleaned. Sorry I didn't post more info, I didn't want to clog up the post too much. Found the issue. It was a very clogged cat

    Cressida 1uz swap running terribly

    I am aware of the codes and their meanings but like I said they've been there since the beginning. Could itreally take 5 months for the code to cause any problems?

    Cressida 1uz swap running terribly

    I've got an 88 cressida with a 90 ls400 1uz in it. It was running great for 4-5 months. One day on the way home from work I noticed it was a good bit slower than before. Over the next week it got worse and worse. Now I can't even drive it anywhere because its so slow. It's throwing codes 21 28...

    1uz into mx73 cressida

    Well it runs great but is throwing 3 codes. 2 o2 sensor codes and a knock sensor code. Knock sensor is completely snapped in half so that was to be expected. The o2 codes are being thrown because I've only got 2 of the 4 o2 sensors hooked up. Are any of these a big deal? As in do they pull...

    1uz into mx73 cressida

    Well its a bit late now as I've already had a custom shaft made. I'll get better hd pics of where everything sits when I get the car back. Shifter still pops up where it should so it cant be too far off. Good to know about the booster for future projects though

    Someone local is selling a greddy emanage blue for $200. Very tempted to pick it up for this thing. Anyone have any experience with them on an n/a 1uz?

    1uz into mx73 cressida

    Wow I'm very happy to have a car people are interested in :) Plans are to get it running on stock electronics for now, make the ls400 gauge cluster work in the cressida, and have fully functioning ac and power steering. So excited for this 1uz. Everything I read about them makes them sound amazing
