no the front sump setups won't fit in the s30. Mine in a mid sump and the front of the engine sit about 1/2 of a inch off the steering rack. If you could make it fit the engine would sit way to high and the trans would never fit in the tunnel. Sorry Thanks, this car is stupid fast and fun. As soon as it cools down in Georgia I'm going to start driving everyday and I plan on taking it to the dyno and see what numbers I can get out of this thing.

Yes, I did read the direction and followed them to a T. I also was on the phone with innovate for over an hour and all they said and I quote " we have have problems with this unit please send it back" anyway google innovate wideband problems.

Innovative sucks.I had one. It lasted for about 5 miles then wouldn't work anymore. I found there website and there forum and read post after post of the same problems. Stay away I have a Zeitronix ZT-2 and it great. It works everytine, requires no calibration. Warm up takes very little time. Oh yea and it works.

It does when you break the the tool and have to wait for the tool truck to show up lol. been there and done that. Or when the crappy tool breaks and causes body harm and sends you to the emergency room. I have also been there. It's just not worth saving a few bucks. Remember you get what you pay for.

I work on cars for a living and I only use snap-on tools. Matco don't seem to feel right and I don't think they are the same quality. Some of Marco tools remind me of craftsman tools. But it all depends on how much you want to spend. I have over 50k on tools and growing. Remember crappy tools= pain ( busted knuckles) and time is money in this business.

Those Taurus fans really pull some air. I have one from a 94 Taurus that's a two speed single fan On my 1jz. I only use the low speed and it works great. Be careful those things pull some power. Might need to upgrade the alternator. I know my rb only had a 60amp alternator.

I'm getting tons of emails about if I'm still building pans, the answer is yes I am. I can make any pan you wish. I can do the pans from mild to wild. Any thing you want.... here is one for Boris I did a couple months ago. I know I haven't posted to much on this thread but I'll get back to posting on this thread. This one will hold ~7 QTS with a trap door baffle and a round baffle around the pickup. Here's one I built for 5thgenluder I used a stock rb flange and built it from the flange up.

It's runnIng great and fast as hell. The torque is awesome. I swapped out the exhaust housing to the turbo from a .81 A/R to .68 a/r and turned it into a low rpm spooling monster. I'm only boosting a low 10-12 psi. I had to get a new boost controller because of the pos greddy ebc took a crap sitting in my tool box lol. I installed a Apexi NEO and leaned it out a bit. I'm still running 10.2 to 1 between 4k to redline. I need to take it to the dyno and tune it. I just bought a set of HKS cams 272 intake and 264 exhaust. As soon as they come in I'll install them and head to the dyno. My goal is 500whp but I still need to get a set of 550 injectors because the 440 will be maxed out at around 450whp Anyways this thing is a monster. Full spool by 3600-3800 rpm. The cams will change this. The torque is amazing and it pulls like crazy and it's not even tuned. I was going to do a rb25 or 26 but in glad that I decided on the 1jz. Plus you can get the parts anywhere. And the parts are CHEAP . Alot of the parts swap out from the 2jz and that means the high dollar parts that the high horse power supras guys use interchange. So when the supra guys change their build and sell the parts you can pick them up for almost nothing. Not like the rb's

The pyro goes in before the turbo to get the correct reading. Putting it after the turbo would be pointless and would give you a incorrect reading. All the heat is before the turbo. I know with my diesel that after the turbo it can read as much as 300 degrees difference

I did read on the supra foruns that apexi was having problems with some neos reading the MAF voltages. Call apexi I believe all it needs is a reflash. I'm using a neo on my 1JZ. I like it alot more than my old safc2. How do you like that rb20 with the 25 turbo? I had a 25 turbo on mine for a little bit. It was fun.

I think I read around a 12 inches. I had problems with mine and it was around 7-8 inches. Are you using the stock blow off valve? If you are not you need to recirculate back to the intake. With a non recirculating Bov when you let off the throttle the air that has been measured by the MAF blows out the Bov and then makes it run rich and will stall the engine.

How close do you have the MAF meter from the turbo? If you have it too close your going to have turbulence in the MAF that will cause problems @ Idle

Man,I hate to say this but it's trashed. Turn the motor over and inspect the cylinder walls. The head is trashed, I bet the valve guide is busted also. I would take it to a machine shop and get them to inspect the head. The piston is hard to say, I've seen worse and I was able to grind off the ridges on the impact zone. It's possible that the piston might cracked.Inspect it and go from there. Inspect the other valves because if you hit one you might of hit more.

you got some bent valves. Time to pull the head

On my rb I used the nismo it did the job but I had to put a gauge on it everytime. I know I could of added a gauge but really didn't have the room.. On my 1jz I put a aeromotive With a port for a gauge and it's bad ass. They are almost the same price. The aeromotive looks better IMO.

We definitely have much respect for Pat after doing this ourselves. Thanks Andy Those motor mount look like Jaguar XJ6 motor mounts 1972-87 I believe. I used them for my rb20 swap. Fit like a glove. I bought another set for my 1jzgte swap but never used them. Now the real question where are they lol

Look good man. Your going to like the rb20. I really liked mine. They rev to the moon and make great power.

Yes the rb alternator is internally regulated. this is what I used http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/alternatorswap/index.html

Wtf no comments or anything. This Toyota forum sucks Well I'm done, there's no point in wasting anymore of my time posting anymore.

I bet they do but the real question is how much$$$$$. I'm just about done with my 1jz swap and I can say first hand that it was not hard. It took some research and time.

I know I have one, when I get home I'll check if the bearing is still good.

I'm almost done. It's running perfect and I just have a few more things to button up. I can't wait to drive it.

here are some pics of the fuel cell,trans mount and the driveshaft.

Here's some pics of the exhaust I made today. I'm almost done with it

The block isn't very wide. There is alot of people using those mounts with no problems.
