pedrosixfour Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I have several good used 2JZ-GTE water pumps if they will fit the 1JZ? I think the 2JZ-GTE pumps fit some of the 1JZs Chris, but I'm not sure if I fall into that catagory. In an ideal world the pumps themselves are interchangeable and it's just the housings that differ. I'll see what tomorrow brings with the pump I have but I'll be in touch if it looks doubtful. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 lovely instalation , all the best getting it sorted Cheers buddy. All going well we'll share the same tarmac someday, Anglesea perhaps. Or if I win the lotto, Spa and then onto the Ring. My treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 love the sound of spa but id very much like to share the track at anglsey one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilp9876 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Right, I've had my oil coolers fitted So when's the next trackday? Or is it too wet now and I have to wait till next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 there are a few of us doing llandow in november Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I'm hoping to make it to one in November myself. It's never too wet or cold for a track day. We had one in January last year. We were told to keep it at sane speeds until the frost on the track thawed! Slippy is not the word! Use adverse weather conditions at a track day to really understand how a car reacts when grip and traction are severly hampered. Think of it as testing rather that racing. But it's all good.

pedrosixfour Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I also found out my modified alternator is working fine. The reason it's not charging is a wiring issue. The "IG" wire coming from the NA alternator plug loops in with a host of other functions on it's way to the big orange plug in the footwell. On the 1JZ loom its a seperate line leading to a pin on one of the grey plugs. This wire is not flagged for splicing or even named on the 1JZ pinout I used to do the wiring. Seeems a bit strange to me but if connecting it to the cabin side of the alternator "IG" wiring solves the problem then I guess its job done.

It should keep the intercoolier nicely chilled too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilp9876 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 there are a few of us doing llandow in november Llandow is a bit short, and a long way from me. Thinking about doing half a day at Bedford, there's a novice event at the end of Oct that's tempting. Spa, brands and silverstone are on my list for 2012.

dr_jekyll Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 well the seasons taken a premature end for me . on the second lap of the moring parctise sesion my newly mapped engine decided it didnt want to live with my w58 anymore and blew it to bits . the torqu comes on realy strong and it was spinning in 3rd as soon as the tyres got warm and it griped... booom au revuior gearbox so im now a mear spectator as my willing pit crew load the car back up to be pu to bed for the rest of this year . only question now is r154 or v160?

Abz Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Sorry to hear this too Craig but knowing you this is just a 'little' obstacle in the way! Maybe go the 6 speed route so then it future proofs you if you decide to go for some more power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 More of an opportunity than an obstacle;). V160 is really the only option that is proven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Do it once and do it right with the Getrag box, I know they fetch daft money, but how much have you wasted with going all that way, etcetera ? Bad luck, what a PITA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) is the r154 not reliably strong at 500ish bhp? id love to throw a v160 at it , but with the current turn of events i dont thibnk i could do 2.5k . unless i leave it 6 months and acumilate the cash over time .
