timbo1jz Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I had the same alternator problem with my swap. I just put a volt meter on the battery and jumped each one of the 3 wires one at a time until the alternator started to put out 14 volts. Mine ended up being the black/yellow wire, but that is on a 1jz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overkill Z Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 that sounds like a plan but then you also gotta make sure the trigger wire on the Z side of the wiring harness is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overkill Z Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 Hey guys... the car is at the tune shop!!!! they found one of the cylinders was not firing so they are trouble shooting that before we hook it up to the dyno and start tuning.

Overkill Z Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 alright driving the Z around now...a bad cam sensor and incorrect wiring on the #2 cylinder injector were giving me huge problems....now i feel the HKS VPC and GCC set up i am running is way to inadequate for my 1000cc injectors.... at Idol the car puts out enough black smoke to fill the street. i have set both the VPC and GCC to max LEAN and it doesnt seem to help. am i doing something wrong or do i REALLY need to buy a 2,000 dollar computor??????
