First Start & Drive! - JZX100 1JZ-GTE Swap!

[Music] what's up guys and welcome back to the channel the last time we left you guys off with the jzx100 we dropped it off at true Focus fabrication for an intercooler kit which you guys didn't have to fabricate we did fabricate it but we prefabbed it so it was ready to just install slap on when he got here so everything fit great um um just a little bumper trimming and should we show it to him ready to go let's check it out look at this unit right there so that is a nice inter coiler kit looks super sweet and in the last video we pretty much he put it on within like 20 minutes like we pulled the bumper set it on the big thing they wanted to do was just kind of you know trim around the the bumper get some nice pictures and all that other stuff which obviously that service is is not included if you buy this kit from them but uh took it a step further to they went ahead they just wanted to double check some fitment with the radiator fan and the Shroud and all that stuff and you can see right here everything fits good there was a factory radiator shroud or a coolant overflow tank because this is the the non-turbo version but what they did is they have this tank right here so this is a coolant overflow which kind of looks OEM yeah yeah we took the OEM tank and basically mimicked that whole tank and made our own aluminum version so It Bolts right into factory factory holes and everything and and it looks good it like kind of looks like that it's kind of like that I like the the silver piping all of that stuff and obviously this thing doesn't run right now cuz I'm still doing some stuff with the throttle body but by the end of this video this thing is definitely going to run I'm super stoked cuz this thing it just looks good look at that we got the the little jpipe delete so we have the air Inlet this goes straight to the valve cover for your PCV venting also this right here is for the idle air control which some of these motors with the electronic throttle body they don't need that so you can just run a little plug uh but once once we get the right intake manifold and all that stuff on it we will run that over because with the mass air flow sensor that air has to be metered but overall I'm just stoked on this kit it looks sick it fits really nice and uh you can see we have the Garrett blowoff valve right there in uh in the little opening so we'll be able to make some choo choo noises with it as well and you said this core you guys have that's a vibrant core right yeah yeah vibrant cores and so that's like a 600 horsepower core this thing will probably end up close to 300ish somewhere in there so it it should be plenty um but yeah I just it looks good it's a good kit all it's easy install it's I mean yeah took 15 minutes to throw on there so um yeah yeah they're awesome yeah no it looks really good and again if you guys haven't seen any of the stuff that true Focus does uh I would encourage you guys to check out their website they make tons of bash bars it's kind of their primary thing what they're known for have you seen like Colette's uh 350Z her Corvette lzs uh 350 a bunch of stuff like that they work with shman as well but they do oil coolers bash bars a bunch of coolant overflow tanks some what else oil catch cans um catch cans yeah yeah we're starting to do some aluminum door cards now so working on those still but they're you know they're in the works so just a bunch of other stuff they also have a 7.3 Godzilla turbo kit for an S550 Mustang which that is going to be another video but it looks pretty cool I gave you guys a little bit of a preview uh that's my Mustang obviously they're fabbing a turbo kit with a Garrett g45 on it I'm excited I'm excited to see this thing so if you guys are interested in this kit I'll have the link in the description and again I would encourage you guys to uh check out true Focus Fabrications their website look at your year make model of your project C and see if they have something cool cuz you might be surprised yeah really appreciate these guys fabbing this kit and then also you know being able to provide this to the world and then me to where I didn't have to I didn't have to make the kit so yeah easy for you buddy easy for me we got it done yeah no they I mean and that's that's the whole point of it so uh yeah appreciate these guys but I got I got to go get a throttle body I got to drive like an hour and a half to get a throttle body to make this thing run and the plan is we're going to have this thing ripping tomorrow so let's go all right boys so we made it back to the shop and uh we we just kind of started working on this thing so we have the radiator fan installed in here we got the upper and lower gry hoses installed with the coil radiator so that thing looks really good everything fits really nice here with the piping and all that stuff we also installed the mass airflow sensor that I picked up from a buddy the other night so picked up the mass airflow sensor we have this K&N or this is actually an AM air filter but that whole setup just looks really good with the jpipe delete and all that stuff cool and overflow obviously but we are uh making a little bit of progress the last update I kind of showed you guys was that we needed to rewire some of the stuff in the chassis because the wiring harness that I had was actually used in a swap it was in a 240SX for a little bit so we had a little fuse box and we had another little jumper harness to connect some power to it well I had to convert everything back to the factory chassis plugs so I got all that stuff done right here so you can see there is the wiring so she's all connected back up those are pretty much all the main power wires and everything connected there's two more three wires right there that are all done we have the ECU in there and uh so where we have the turbo ECU in it but I tried turning the key and I said oh my goodness this thing doesn't start the reason it doesn't start is because so this engine is a automatic harness but since it has a manual transmission we have to convert that harness to do some manual thing so we have to jump a wire for the starter we have to jump a wire to tell it that it's in second gear so that way the ECU knows that it's in you know it's in second gear and it gives it all the power instead of like limiting power or Torque or anything like that in um in first gear so uh yeah that's pretty much it so going to wire up that connector in the transmission stuff uh which basically the big main connector and then we should be able to see if this uh if this unit will just fire right up which I'm going to be happy about that also we need to figure out the throttle cable that's kind of stressing me out oh and then I need a uh power steering reservoir too so I got to figure that out too all of the things couple things are going to get figured out today actually all of the things are going to be figured out today cuz this thing it pretty much has to run today so that's uh that's the goal so we're going to continue ripping all right boys it is the next day and we're picking up where we left off so right here the throttle cable was of a concern cuz we weren't sure if obviously the jzx100 um the non-turbo one is a lot shorter cuz the throttle body is right here so we ended up getting the one out of the Toyota Tacoma out at the junkyard and that ended up working out perfect so it's a little bit tight right here I actually have a real jzx100 one on the way to actually get it in the right spot as well as the complete upper intake manifold with the right throttle body and all that stuff with the idle air control motor but as of right now this thing should start and run and drive the problem is yesterday it uh it didn't start and run we put the key in it we wired everything up and cranked on it cranked on it and nothing would happen the fuel pump wasn't turning on with the ECU so I like okay cool you know what we'll do we'll spray just a smidge of starting fluid in there so there's a little vacuum line right here we gave it a little gave it a little sniff of uh of starting fluid bam fires right up burn you know dies no fuel pump so we go in the back Power Probe the fuel pump give power to it we fired up it runs for a literal five or six seconds on the fuel pump and then it just dies crank crank crank crank cranks nothing doesn't start and so we spend probably 2 hours just like looking at it scratching our head power probing things just testing stuff and then we we kind of uh you know got to thinking and I think Eric found it for me said something about the capacitors in the ECU and you know saying like bad ecus and all that other stuff so then we're like okay let's uh let's take apart this ECU so I just bought this ECU the other night and you can see the back side of the board or I guess this is the top side of the board everything looks pretty good but if you look right here this capacitor right there is actually leaking and I have a a closer up shot of that that I will include and I guess it's a common issue you know this ECU is 27 years old you know the car is 97 is so 27-year-old ECU uh from Japan it's been probably sitting on a desk or on a pallet getting transported around with these engines and stuff for a couple years and then all of a sudden thrown in somebody's car and then pulled out and sitting on a shelf so bad ECU was the problem and uh also here's the other one remember I said I had another one the other day so I'm glad I never plugged this one in cuz uh we pulled the case off I don't know if you noticed in the video it had some screws missing on it and so I decided before I plugged it in and that's the reason why we got this other one is to open it back up and look at the back side of that board right there that thing is completely smoked so last night I uh kind of made a last minute decision to uh to order some parts which are going to help us out what I decided to do was go ahead and order an ECU Master emu black this right here is a plug- andplay adapter for a jzx100 we have the wideband kit which this will connect to the ECU and help with a lot of the fuing stuff and obviously be able to tell how rich lean all the other stuff help with tuning and an intake air temp sensor uh so with this ECU we actually delete the mass air flow sensor because it has an internal map sensor and that is why we have to run the it to give it the you know temperature of the air so it could correct correct correctly measure the volume of it or the density so you can see right here this is the map this right here is the wideband oxygen sensor and then this thing right here just plugs straight in this thing has the same plug as the jzx100 ECU and it integrates with the chassis on here and that uh that was my last minute solution so if you guys did not know I am also a dealer for ECU master so all of the products that uh that I have right here you can see the plug andplay adapter the Emu black widebands the Emu Pros the Adu dashes all of the ECU Master products are available on motion autop performance.com which just so happened to get you entries for a chance to win the Chaser as well I've been running an em black in the K24 all wheeel Drive Civic so right here in my 2JZ drift car as well as my Supra from day one love their products love the ECU the Emu black is one of the best bang for the bucks that you can get it fired up and ran on the fuel pump and everything with the stock non-turbo ECU so that's when I made the decision I said all right let's just freaking overnight all this stuff get it here and now we are going to be installing the Emu black in here which will give us you you know not only an ECU that's 20 that's not 27 years old but uh it gives us a lot more control to be able to tune it and play with stuff and we are planning on putting this thing right back on the dyno as soon as we get it running too so uh it'll make for some good fun right there too and one of you guys is going to get a car with some more upgrades on it as well so uh pretty stoked uh I'm going to continue along that Journey I'm going to wire in that into the car also I was working on a downpipe last night so you can see right there 3 in off of the stock just going straight back so I need to finish welding that so lots of things are happening lots of talking but uh hopefully this thing's going to run here in the next hour or so all right up underneath the car the exhaust is done we got 3-in downpipe vband all the way back to two bolt flange which goes to the 3 and 1/2 in HKS exhaust so uh this thing is uh it's about ready we got the O2 sensor bung welded in up top so all we got to do is plug in the wideband I plugged in the EC you inside the car so that means we uh might be time to start it all right so we're sitting in the car I think we're ready to put a base map on this thing so hit over to ecumaster usa.com you come over here to the little sidebar hit downloads it will open up a Google Drive and then let's see we'll just scroll down where it says Toyota Lexus we'll just we'll just give that the click jzx 110 adapter right there look at that we'll download jzx100 Black and then we'll uh read this we'll key on upload that map to the thing cruise through a couple things we'll probably do an input output check like the coils and stuff and then uh we'll go from there all right boys so check this out plugged everything in loaded the base map in order to load a base map you just come over here and you hit uh open project you find it right there bam click it upload it make or whatever and then I messed with the TPS voltage so all of that stuff works good now uh coolant temp sensor we have the wrong coolant temp sensor for this wiring harness so that's not hooked up uh intake air temp is hooked up to the mass air flow sensor so we don't have to do anything with that right now and then wide band is hooked up as well so you guys ready for this check it out key [Music] on look at that she's running she's running she's not happy she's not happy right now but she's running so we're going to play with the base map a little bit play with the idol play with fueling stuff look at it um look at the the wide band's not reading right now so I probably need to mess with the sensor on that and uh we go from there all right boys so she is running now on the ECU Master uh we had a couple issues with that yesterday we initially had the fan clutch on here and we had to space it out a little bit because it was actually touching right here well turns out it touched the back side of the fan shroud up there was kind of touching that and then uh it was sitting in the shop kind of idling and I decided to give it a nice little rev and while the freaking fan shroud just uh the fan just blew up sketchy but it didn't uh it didn't damage the radiator so luckily it didn't damage the radiator or hurt anybody so I went ahead and threw on a set of electric fans these are actually off my drift car so we'll get another set for this or vice versa whatever so it has electric fans we have those hooked up right now um had a little bit of a coolant leak there's a u there's a fitting that's pressed into the head from the factory and that popped out yesterday once we got the cooling system pressurized but uh now we got the ECU Master she's in here idling running real good had to mess with some of the fuel correction and stuff down low uh like the acceleration enrichment and then I have it idling a little bit lean right now cuz I wanted to uh I wanted to warm it up a little bit and actually you know get everything really hot so I let it to get get up to 220° kicked on the fan to kind of burp everything out of the system but listen to this thing it just freaking it sounds so good it revs so good and I I really think that with we're blessed with these engines the fact that like a one exists is sick listen to this thing like the intake noise is we have like a little bit of compressor Surge and then this thing makes boost when it's like when it's free revving so then you can hear the Garrett blow valve pop off and listen to this thing like how good how good is that and the exhaust note on this thing just sounds so smooth it's not too loud it's not too quiet but uh we'll give you guys a little rev [Music] too and she's a little bit rich and uh this engine probably hasn't ran in four or 5 years but that's why I'm kind of letting it get warm get up to Temp do some other stuff check for leaks all that stuff before we officially take it off the lift and take it on its maen Voyage so uh yeah everything seems super good fired right up literally on the base map everything seems super solid and it'll be a little bit better once we get the idle air control motor and everything with the other intake manifold which should be here probably tomorrow or something like that but uh yeah the sleeper Civic is on its way to Florida we have a Transport company coming to pick it up right now uh Daniel shansky she is actually the winner of the VIP Civic and the VIP dream build which the option was the sleer Civic 5,000 cash or a $5,000 build on their car and she decided to choose the she chose the Civic which is pretty cool so that thing is leaving today just doing a couple last minute things to it but we should pretty much be ready to take this thing for a drive and then once we get everything all buttoned up um should be even better all right boys first [Music] [Music] drive got to grab my laptop oh it sounds good air fuels are looking solid so far [Music] [Music] [Music] feels really really good especially for not turning the boost up and pretty [Music] much so I think we're on like 8 lbs of boost right now there a lot better burnouts now too [Music] [Music] [Music] all right so we decided to come up to a local uh car meet it's called the mega meet we actually did this one last year and the winner the guy who won our STI actually got entered at the event which was pretty coose we got the Chaser out here we have the merch Booth got peaked which they're they're kind of co-hosting this we got Thrive who are co-hosting this as well and we got a food truck out here got some of their cars hey how you doing good how are you oh not too bad and uh so we're just going to go walk around and uh take the kids cuz this is technically a trunk or treat you ready to go get some candy let's go get some candy get your bucket get your bucket so Jamie's going to stay here run the stand oh I guess BR get bring your bag not the bucket I want the bucket well the buckets we give we give that to people we give it to people really so we walked around that's clean second J this guy he must have ran somebody over oh look at look at this old 73 I like that sty reminds me of the old styrofoam cups supposed to be a common thing everybody's running people over and I I kind of want one of these Supras look at this thing this thing turned out really good a car I think it was at the drags today and just ran a 9sec pass pretty crazy and this one same thing they worth the track today I think this is the fastest mark five in Colorado you don't see these out too often anymore they're the E30 K daddy's taking the purple one what about it you like the purple one yeah look at that it's got a body on the roof it's got a body on the roof pretty purple another Rare Bird right here so we got a 240Z four lug it's got some Falcons on the back look at that this is a turbo 240Z with the old school turbo setup hanging down there on the bottom got the intake manifold it looks like converted it over to port injection so he's probably on an aftermarket ECU cuz the distributor you can see is not in there but that's pretty cool freaking old school turbo setup looks got some mig weld on it HKS is that an in core is that h intercooler that's sick the piping was HKS so that's sweet I really like this thing he's a little rusty too so it's got all the character these kids are just out here checking out the candy look at that what what what I'm just filming you guys robbing candy are you a candy Thief are you trick or treating right now just trick or treat oh jeez sorry Carson what do you think of that one you like it what's your favorite car [Music] here the purple one there's a few purple ones thank you thank you I've always wanted one of these thank you I've always wanted one it's not yours who is it then kenley's all right so we're loading the Chaser up into the trailer everybody's all clearing out so a cool little car meet cool little car show there's a ton of people ton of other stuff and this is kind of like the last one of the last main Meats I guess or the last Mega Meat of the season but uh yeah jzx100 looks beautiful sitting here it runs and drives good we definitely need to get it on the dyno that's probably going to be the next video that you guys see of it is it on the dyno the giveaway ends October 31st so if you haven't got any entries in to win this thing yet uh be sure to head over to motion tv.com or Motion Performance cuz uh I do sell ECU Master de Works coilovers all kinds of other stuff and uh maybe you can be like that guy driving home uh your four-door sedan but appreciate you guys watching this video we're going to thing loaded up see you there
