Hey guys wondering if someone had any experience with this,so i just did a compression test on the 2jz vvti engine that arrived at my house and all the cylinders were fine reading 145-150 psi except for cylinder #5. When i first took off the coil for cylinder 5 i noticed there was oil pooled up inside and with the spark plug still in place but no evidence of a leak from the valve covers or anything around it so I that worried me a bit. So when i did the compression on cylinder #5 the reading was 100 psi
I went ahead and dropped some oil into the cylinder and than the reading jumped to 180-200psi. Does that mean the piston ring is bad?I got about 10 days to return it so just wondering i should do a leak down test or stop any testing now and just take it back for an exchange or money back.

Thanks guys

So I have a little dilemma .
I have 3/4-distance from the water pump pulley to the radiator and my intake inter cooler coupling just fits when I trim it as much as I can while still retaining a (90°) angle.

Is anyone familiar with the z rad support ?I do have the condenser still in there since I want to run ac, but would like to gain an inch or so. Anyways here's pics.








Also what's the slimmest 4"intake filter available?

Why don't you have the TB shorten like someone said earlier? Would Save you Cutting The radiator Support. For the filter I got one from auto parts that is pretty slim and good quality.

Hey guys , got another question . What have you guys been doing for the throttle cable. Can you use the stock cable and stock cable bracket ? Pics would help too thanks.

Not sure if you found one yet, but I have seen this one before in my searches on summit before, pretty cheap too

http://m.summitracing.com/parts/spe-8161

Also I agree with everyone else, shorten the throttle body and get rid of the trac unit

Sweet find on the filter!!! Yeah I guess I'll have to do that then.As for fans I'm going to go with duel spal pushers once I get the funds.

Going to buy a kouki roller, swap everything and custom wire it all by hand for the chassis and go with a WS engine harness. Can't wait to get it put back together and running again

Holey heck, hard to believe this was a year and a half ago. but now.... the car is coming back together with a new setup and with a lot more detail. Still waiting on my custom s14 catch can. Here's how she sits now


Custom catch can, going to fit perfectly

[RickS14]

Dukefab catch can?

Yup! Lucas does great work. I need a welder like him local lol

[RickS14]

Ha ha same here.plus his car is badass.so it's kinda like he does his own r&d on the parts he makes which is cool.

[Reddrum13]

Just want to chime in and recommend Lucas at Dukefab. He is awesome and makes quality stuff. I have his catch can on my S14.

[sr20detconv]

[RickS14]

I would like to see what other people are doing build wise. so If you have a Instagram let me know.

The build is still in progress because we are waiting for some parts. I will keep you updated once we mount her in.

im looking to buy a intake manifold like this was looking at the ebay one. any info like fitment and is there any modding needed for this to work in the car like custom throttle cable adptor like the sr20det intake manifold?

also can I get some info on that chrome piping for the upper water neck that connects to the rad?

any info at all will be great guys thanks!!

O.j. Ok well anyways looks great.What's the perc to ge head cs gte again?

[Reddrum13]

^ What he said. Lol

[NOLAGG]

Any one running pusher fans due to fitment issues? If so which ones and how do your like them ands have them wired?




That's the condenser space I'll be mounting them.roughly 2 12" fans will fit, maybe 13"'

[240sxrb30]

I searched for duke fab and found no info on him. Can somebody show me where I can get one of those catch cans at.

I haven't driven mine in almost 2 months. Somehow the cylinder 3 ringland gave up causing me to lose compression. Swapped my gsc s2 cams out, put in the stock cams, tried starting and just kept cranking. Prob washed out the walls.

Was putting the car back to stock to sell it and then it does this to me lol. Will prob part it out or sell as is, even though it's somewhat apart.

Why do you want to sell it? Stick with it and get it running good.

Just lost interest and taking priorities right now (paying down loan and going back to school). Trying to increase my yearly pay and may relocate to a different state. Would like to start over when the time is right and do things differently.

Hi guys, thought I'd post some helpful info about the power steering reservoir hose needed to hook up your power steering with a VVTI 2jzgte.

Some people use any hose for this, but you should only use the proper type rubber hose rated for power steering fluid. You dont want the wrong type rubber breaking down and possibly ruining your P/S pump and steering rack.


Parts required:

1 Gates 350030 Power Steering Reservoir Line Hose - Cut To Fit. This is 5/8" hose and is the right size.


2-3 barbed 90 degree brass elbows ( I only needed 2 elbows for the hose routing I chose )

1 box of Breeze Stainless Steel hose clamps Made in USA


You need the elbows because the straight hose will pinch. I bought 3 elbows for more flexibility in how I run the hose, but 2 elbows may be enough.

If anyone knows of a pre bent power steering reservoir hose that fits this setup please let me know because less failure points is always a good thing!
