johnny g Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 There's no point fixing any issue without knowing the cause, otherwise, it'll go again. Eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Sorry to here this bud, if it was injector/ecu problem this will need sorting also, out of interest who mapped it,that greek guy, can`t remember his name now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Yeah as above, you dont even know whats wrong yet! A pretty good guess would be the ECU;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Sorry to here this bud, if it was injector/ecu problem this will need sorting also, out of interest who mapped it,that greek guy, can`t remember his name now. Dimitrius? As suggested, best find out what is the full extent of the damage. For all you know, it just needs a bit of T-Cut!

Jake Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 What about hunting down a used stock motor from someone like Keron. From memory the car isn't pushing mega boost, power or revs is it so a stock bottom end could be more than good enough and a stock, untouched bottom end is often way more reliable than one full of after-market 'uprated' parts.

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 hi mikey, these 2jz engine are not hard to pull out.. get a competent mechanic friend and you will see its not so bad to work on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 You know what mate I'd do the right thing here and get the car on a trailor and send it somewhere like AFR and get it properly looked at. The initial expense could well save you sh*t loads in half guess's and uninformed opinions etc. You need it looking at by experts, long term that will save you money. If you are going to tear it down an expert will be able to verify the condition of parts and take out the big bits for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcgoo Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Sorry to hear this mate. As others have said, it must be absolutely gutting. I know there are risks with all modified cars, but you must have thought with the amount of money spent and the car's spec list, that 1 mile at WOT wouldn't be a problem and that you wouldn't need to spend anything on it for a while (except fuel and tyres:eyebrows:) Hope you get it sorted with out too much hassle/expense.
