Ok, more information, i have disconnected the EGR, evap and fuel pressure sensors. The evap was removed, and throttle body take-off blanked. The EGR is left in poisition The fuel pressure sensor has been removed, i have then take the vac line on the FPR and put it directly onto the intake...

Something else im going to try. As i dont have the fuel computer thing, im going to remove the fuel pressure sensor and run the FPR direct into the intake manifold as shown on bushwhackers engine picture on page 5. As for gauges, pass. Ill use the Lexus one for now then remove the housing and...

Quickie, anyone know the resistance values of the GAUGE water temp sensor on the 1UZFE, my Nissan one isnt in a suitable position so i just want to use the Lexus sensor and account for whether it will read high or low. The important bit is just to know that the stat is controlling the...

And yeh, im praying its a loose connection, its be nice to just find the fault and fix it. To be honest, ive had no chance as ive been out of the country for work and its pitch dark when i normally get in anyway so it only leaves the weekends to fix things. I will be giving the whole thing a...

ahhhh, yeah i do have a spare wire that says 'ignition amp' thats in my footwell lol. Figured it was for that. Could never get the 1JZ to work with the darn Nissan tacho so i figured this would be the same.

Heres a short video of it actually running and driving! After i had been out i parked it up and it just wouldnt stay running the following day, other than a couple seconds after firing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jndtAaa2yiI&feature=plcp

ok, im glad i know it can be done. Just need to confirm some of the ins and outs of how to make it work like that. Sorry for being such a pain!

Bushwhacker - Engine looks great! I have similar plans as fa as tidying, but hoping to get it running before removing it all. Ive already made blanking plates for the EGR system, its just the solenoid is still there. I will properly blank off the EVAP hose from the throttle body. Spinnetti -...

Also, i asked before about this but didnt get round to taking a picture. Whats the sensor pictured? Sits on the front passenger side (RHD) can i just unplug this and remove it? I think its carbon canister related but would like to confirm as it may be contributing to my high idle...

Been away for work, but spark plugs are here and got my hand on a compression tester. Hoping for anything in the green zone and consistency across all cylinders but whats a good target for a 96 1UZ? The green zone is 150-200psi which is a pretty big target.

Im a tart so had already ordered the Bosch units as i wanted them to be here by friday. I dont think itll fix my problem but it needs doing. I know water had got in the cam cover and had covered the spark plug (i didnt run it like this) at one point so itd be good to replace it.

These look good: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LEXUS-LS400-32V-8-x-BOSCH-SUPER-4-SUPER4-SPARK-PLUGS-/280077202622?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4135e6f4be As do these...

I may have asked before as well, but does anyone have a reccomendation for spark plugs? Does anyone bother with iridium or platinum or do you stick to copper on a stock UZ? Do they need to be gapped or do they perform ok from the box? Also, does anyone have a code to give me as i normally buy...

Sure thing, will have to wait until tomorrow or the weekend though :( Im not going mad am i, it is possible to get this thing running properly using standard management right? With my wiring diagram from Lexus i got a check list for voltages and resistance for the critical wires so im going to...

It doesnt go through the ECU at all. I basically have a manual on/off switch at the moment. So it always runs at full power when ive got it switched. Hmmm just need to get it running well enough to go for more than 2 seconds then! Im other side of the country in east anglia lol

It already just runs flat out though doesnt it? Where abouts in the UK are you? Dont spose you fancy coming over lol

I have a manual switch that bypasses the ECU and just switches the pump relay to earth

I dont have the diagnostics port anymore, how do you run a manual check through that outputs through the engine management light? Im using the filter from a 300ZX (weapon of choice for uprated 200's) and a 255l/hr fuel pump (i may test the flow rate this weekend). Whatwould have changed/gone...

Right, im despairing right now. All seemed well yesterday, to the point i actually went for a 40 odd minute drive. Now i didnt seem at full power, it was there low down but (similar to being in low powered car) the upper end of the throttle seemed to have no effect. Anyway, thats besides the...

once im running and know i dont need to spend any more i can finally settle my debts! money is tight, and by the looks of fuel consumption will get tighter haha
