That’s good to know for when I eventually do my rebuild. Thanks! I did the same thing on my Gs550 cafe racer. I was grumpy, needed to get somewhere in a hurry… knew it was gonna blow but stayed wot…

Bummer to hear about the motor! Doing something fancy with pistons or stock ones back in?

Yeah, as much as I would love a standalone ecu, I’ve got other things to do before then and if I do I think I’ll put a 1kd in instead of the 1kz.. . I’ll order a 2 bar and see if that helps. The truck drives a LOT better with the 3 bar sensor so I think I’ll just continue to drive it with the 3...

I have 5 v to ground from both 3 and 2 wires. 3 is supposed to be the 5v, 2 is supposed to be the sensor wire and 1 is earth. I don’t have an exact FSM for my year but that’s what the FSM seems to say for the wire orientation as the colours of wire vary year to year,which is also labele. I...

Factory sensor was a 1 bar factory that was very old. The surging problem I had under load is gone now with the new sensor. I have adjusted the spill control valve previously when I replaced it as well to get fueling closer. I have a EGT and Boost gauge. I can now mat it without my motor...

To add some more context. I was having a surging/fuel cut issue at 9psi of boost (measured at the manifold and at the wastegate) which was worse at sea level then at altitude where I live (1954m ASL). My ECU has been rebuilt and I trust is working properly. With the new 3 bar in the surging is...

Hi Gang, I have a 95 1kzte. I have been having some issues with my turbo pressure sensor. I have plans to add power as I add mods to my truck. So I decided to order a 3 bar map sensor as I will be going above 1 bar eventually. (with the supporting mods). Wired it in correctly to the best of me...

Well colour me confused. I have a manual boost controller on my rig to control waste gate creep and to compensate for high altitude (I live at 1400m and had a hard time getting to 9psi pre boost controller). Not boosting over 10 psi and somehow hitting fuel cut. So I swap out for a different...

I have not looked at the VSV. I don't have a butterfly valve though, so I'm curious how this would affect? Thanks!

Yes please! Expensive?

Hello gang. 1995 kzj78 with the 1kzte. I am running 10psi on my gauge and I believe it's accurate. I've put it on the turbine side and the IM side and it's consistent. When I go WOT it stutters for the first four or five seconds then smooths out and builds boost. So I don't think it's fuel cut...

Do you know what you paid? I see sites like amiyama etc have the genuine Toyota for around 5k. Not sure if that's reasonable? 3k from mag engine builders in Dubai.

Yeah, that's a good call. Although I have found a total of one short block from dubai. Any suggestions where to look?

Hi Gang, So it has happened. My moderate to severe blow by and consumption has now become substantial blue smoke out the tail pipe. When I accelerate away from a stop light it leaves a blue cloud that leaves cyclists giving me the finger, which as a cyclist myself , and living in a national...

Hi Gang, I added a boost controller to my kzj78. I have a boost gauge sensor down stream of the filter and upstream of the MAP sensor. Stock turbo pressures for my unit are around 9 psi in that location. I purchased a boost controller and have been adding pressure. My understanding that fuel cut...
