Cressidom;522704 said:Hi Ree34,
The 1JZ has a lot of potential, it's a great engine with some minor issues.
Since you got the car/engine 2nd hand, you should check on the internet for 1JZ, there's
tons and tons of info available online. By 'refurbish' I can only suggest the following,
Firstly find a mechanic who's experienced on this type of motor. You'll find in your journey to refurbish a lot of characters who claim many a things on the 1JZ is either damaged or need to spend a lot of money
My suggestions, start by find a 'sifu' for 1JZ
Have him take the turbo's off and look for leaks. Engine oil will need replacement. Never mind if your seller or had 'just' changed the oil. Turbo cars very 'manja' about the oil clean oil - happy turbos. Dirty Oil > caking > sad turbos > empty wallet. The CT12A Turbos will only handle some abuse, they're ceramic. Some TLC should take care of them. 1 JZs have issues with ECU (some members here have had that problem), Fuel Regulator,Timing issues, Coil packs cracked etc. Again this info is available on the net. IF your's is a manual 'Syabas' the R157 is solid gearbox, my guess is usually a second-hand car with 1JZ already kau-kau used. SO The oil sump will need to come off to see any sediments = tell tail signs, best time to clean the oil pump etc.
Other than that it's also some 'luck' involved. SO once you get the refurbishment done 1 by 1 = save money la..hopefully the engine will give you much pleasure.
my dua-puluh sen comments.
Enjoy
Dom

Thanks all sifus.

j-E34;523952 said:his car is jzx80 or jzx90??? i think proberly is a jzx80 that why 1.5bar only can get 250whp(as i know jzx80 even hit 1.5bar but the boost is not that consistant, 1.5bar will proberly stay for few second and boost will drop back to 0.9 even with wastegate and lotz of more vitamin), if jzx90 1.5bar as told it will around 320 to 330whp.
bro bmw1jze36, standard jz engine series can stand for at lease 400hp without changing stronger piston and conrod... but turbine hehe ceramic turbine always not that reliable, some upgrade on ct12.... 1.5bar anytime....
jo-e34;524033 said:i guess u are right.....he is probably using version 1.0,1jz......and yez.....1.5 bar will give u about....320 whp from the jz90 series....but there is boost cut ler....how to eliminate....that....?
