1JZ Challenge - Engine Install & FIRST START!

**The Long Night: A JZX 100 ECU Miracle**

It was one of those all-nighter sessions where everything seemed to be going wrong, but Trevor's spare ECU just might change that. Pulled from his own collection, it was a rare find around these parts, and we were willing to try anything at this point. As the hours ticked by, our spirits began to flag, but then, like a beacon of hope, the ECU started to show promise.

**The Spare ECU: A Rare Commodity**

As we worked through the night, it became clear that Trevor's ECU was the only one available in the area. It wasn't much to look at, but we were willing to take a chance on it. We plugged it in, and to our surprise, the engine started to come back to life. It was like a second wind had been injected into the project, and we were all rejuvenated by the prospect of finally getting this thing running.

**The Drip, the Spark, and the Starter**

As we continued to work on the car, we discovered that the excess fuel was leaking out of the downpipe. We plugged in the coil packs and waited for the spark to ignite. Finally, it happened – the engine roared back to life, and we were all ecstatic. But just as we thought we had overcome one hurdle, another emerged: the starter wouldn't engage. Luckily, Adam's 2JZ starter worked perfectly for our 1JZ engine, and we plugged in the math to get everything sorted.

**The Turning Point**

It was at this point that things started to fall into place. The battery was weak, but with a jump start, it came back to life. We connected the wires correctly, and the starter began to turn over. It was a delicate dance of spark and power, and we were all on edge as we waited for the engine to catch. And then, just as suddenly as it had died, it roared back to life.

**The Turbo Whistle**

As the engine purred along, we couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. The turbo whistle echoed through the night air, a triumphant sound that signaled our success. It was 8:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning, and we were all still buzzing from the adrenaline of it all.

**The Cleanup**

With the engine finally running, we turned our attention to the cleanup. We mocked up intercooler piping, welded it into place, and attached clamps to keep everything in line. Alberto expertly welded up some heat shields, and we spent a few minutes tucking away vacuum hoses and wires. The TPS was next on the list, followed by the radiators and fans.

**The Morning After**

It was 9:00 a.m., and we were all still going strong. We had accomplished what seemed like an impossible task, and we couldn't believe it. As we sat back to survey our handiwork, we knew that this was just the beginning. With the engine running smoothly, we could finally start thinking about getting it on the road.

**The Thanks**

A huge thank you goes out to Alberto for his incredible help and support throughout this project. His expertise and enthusiasm were invaluable, and we couldn't have done it without him. And to our viewers, a special shout-out: we're still at 99,000 subscribers, and we can't wait to hit the 100,000 milestone. To get there, keep sharing your love of cars and join us on this journey into the world of JZXs.

**The Future**

As we looked out over our handiwork, we couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement for what's to come. We've still got work to do – plenty of it – but with the engine running smoothly, we're ready to take on whatever comes next. And who knows? Maybe tomorrow will be the day we finally get this thing on the road and can enjoy all that it has to offer. The thrill of the project was addictive, but now that it's over, we're eager for the next adventure.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: ensince we stayed up last night till like 5:00 a.m. trying to get stuff done we are now starting today around 2:00 p.m. unfortunately a little bit of a late start and I've got to go to Nicole's brother's birthday party at 7:00 p.m. so we've got about 5 hours to work on the engine I'm assuming we'll work on a little bit more after would you say the goal is to get it in the car before we leave at least like kind of Mount it up like sitting in there make sure the drive shaft Works fingers crossed that uh everything will go smoothly I think the first thing that I'm going to try to tackle there's a stuck uh stuff right here that Alberto tried absolutely everything to get out yesterday um he tried heating it up he tried using some PB Blaster we tried getting it out with vice grips but they just keep spinning so I'm going to try to grind down each Edge to make it flat that way we can get a better grip with a vice grip then I'll heat it up then I'll spray some PB Blaster and hopefully we can get it out I grinded down the side of the bowl and now I'm just heating it up I've literally tried everything I I cannot get this thing to even move looks like we're probably just going to have to drill it out so so I'm just going to grind off the bottom and then that way we can just put it up in the air and just drill it right through without having to unbolt it and worrying about the same issue with other bolts we obviously don't have time to resurface the flywheel but uh driver said I could lightly sand it so I got it feeling a little bit smoother now cleaned up some brake cleaner he's pulling out the old pressure plate and we're going to put in a new clutch the old clutch looks like it's in pretty good shape but we figure we might as well replace it while we have everything out just to be preventative we got an action stage three clutch um should be good I think somewhere around 400 500 horsepower and it'll be pretty easy for Nicole to drive with which is a main concern pretty pretty cool this what means it's six Puck that it has six of these things versus like the millions of little things like the stock one has and what's the reasoning for that so it's basically like the way the weight distributes cuz if it's distributed like evenly it's going to have less clamping Force whereas if it has like six pucks there's like more pressure on each of the pups so it grabs a little harder and then the the pressure plate The Springs in this should be a little bit stiffer too so it'll actually clamp it a little bit tighter than the factory one cool I'm just trying to replace the bearing cuz this thing there's another snap ring on it gotcha here you want me to help again yeah Bingo this one's why did they have to put the angle on it yeah I don't know that makes it so much more difficult I almost need to get this Edge in first mhm I don't know if that's possible it's my hand bingo bingo these R1 54s are like weird like the pull style deals gu see real quick clean lost it get to that point again we'll just use uh should I start let it pull in yeah let me do this thing right now we're going to do a temporary mockup of the engine and transmission so we can make sure we have the right length drive shaft cuz if not we're going to have to overnight one don't even know if we'd have time yet at this point but uh I just got the measurement from a company so I don't know if it'll be perfect or not fingers crossed the mounts that we have do have a little bit of movement so we should be able to position it where we need it to be but I just want to test it to play it safe first one of the sway bar bolts is stripped so Trevor is just going to cut the sway bar plate off we can't run a sway bar anyway unless we get like some aftermarket one all right so we just got the engine kind of sitting in there and the mounted up the other Mount right there is like this first generation deal this is like the second generation so I just have a a slot of wood in there right now holding it up but uh we got the the drive shaft in and we tested it and it fits so now we could kind of relax and basically I'm just going to be up under here trying to adjust these CX racing mounts um they have a ton of adjustment in them you can go like up and down and forward and backward and in and out and uh so just trying to get the engine level and in position um so it's sitting like everything's hooked up but most of the weights on the engine hoist right now just so I could tighten everything up so it stays there we don't have the proper bolts yet for the motor mounts but the drive Chef fits so we're looking good now the only thing we don't have is a TPS but I'm pretty sure we can borrow one or JDM Orlando thinks that the one off the electronic thr auto body will work don't know about that but it sounds like there's hope Na's been helping me polish up this radiator Trevor just got the water neck in we really got to go pick up some like bolts and stuff but we're waiting on Haggard to come here because they're dropping off their trailer uh and they're going to be keeping it here for like a day or two so look how perfect this old pipe is literally lines up perfectly the I need to go yeah if you just bring it straight back now you're good later guys thanks for the hook up on the trailer par no worries hopping in the turbo Corolla let's hear that was gate look at how dangerous this roof rack is this is why I always say to shave your roof rack to your roof that just looks ridiculous it's Nicole's brother's birthday today so we are heading over to her house for a few hours Trevor and Jamie are going to go on a date well let's go we're late car up in the air he's just getting the last of the drive shaft bolts all tightened up got the transmission cross member in here all bolted up nicely with that um engine mount that stuff's all good to go I felt really bad leaving and it's going to make it harder because there's so little time left to finish by the deadline but hanging out with Nicole's family especially on birthdays is really important to her so it was important that I be there too uh while I was gone navoo and Trevor got the drive shaft and the engine mounted along with the transmission the only thing really left is Alberto has to tack weld the mounts because they have like a little pivot that's not supposed to be there there's I don't know it's just a weird system where you just weld it once it's mounted right anyway so he has his welder here and I don't know what the goal is tonight I'm going to talk to Trevor I know I'm tired but I can drink coffee Alberto's tired so I think he's probably just going to help with a few welding things maybe there's potential to start it tonight I don't know we'll see I mean it it would be sweet to start it but I'm I'm not going to push it it's not wor us staying up ridiculously late when we can just start it tomorrow just for the video sake obviously it'd be cool to start it so I can have that clickbait title you know first start okay back to work I got a really cheap turbo back exhaust from CX racing we were able to overnight it so we've got it laid out here on the ground looks nice and pretty and the most important thing is that it will be able to switch the exhaust from the passenger side to come out the driver's side in the back since the 1j and the 2J both come out of the uh the turbos on the passenger side so so it should Mount up nicely we're going to start tacking this up Trevor's taking care of that stuck bolt in the downpipe and then we should be able to mount this bad boy up we all start it tonight damn elberto Lane dimes that looks so good that's all I can the with 97 and from0 I bet Matt never thought welding would be happening in this garage I was Drilling and a piece of hot metal hit my finger and then the drill slipped it hit me in the head and then I fell down aha oh we both got it a ladder replacing the hard line right now while we're waiting for the engine mount to cool down from being welded with a new braided line to go to the new slave cylinder underneath on the transmission Taylor came to hang out Taylor what do you think about this whole 1j nonsense going on I think it's pretty tight I'm proud of you you said you were going to do this and I had my doubts I didn't think this was going to happen but I came to help so I'm here helping me and Nao we're holding it down working hard we leaked a little bit of fuel in the pretty valve cover like I said the fuel lines come out over here and now the fuel rail is on this side so we're bending them upward so we can run a fuel line across here and then meet the fuel rail and should be good to go we got the transmission all bolted up shifter's in engine's mounted let's get this thing fired up just cleaned up the coil packs going to look at a picture to see how they were in before cuz I don't remember what order they were in you start by feeding in through the car or um yeah we need to kind of get this stuff into that thing but we can kind of set it up here and start connecting Stu what are you doing Adam what yeah oh did back uhoh which one we're approaching about 4:40 a.m. um getting about to the point where we stopped last night and I'm thinking we're getting pretty close to the point where we can crank this thing up let's just not forget to hook up the battery cuz that's definitely one thing that's not hooked up right now be his we don't that power wire alternator I don't know where the power is like St is already already connected I don't know where it gets power from though I want to do an oil change like super soon on this just to what are you doing make sure everything's so clear why are you using a funnel didn't I say something day funnel Mi everything no that's going to take a long time with that little funnel it took about 5 and a half quarts the car doesn't have an exhaust on it what time is it Trevor 5:16 no exhaust no intercooler piping no radiator but we still start it just to make sure it fires up and then take care of all that stuff tomorrow what let's put nipples on this tree thing so it doesn't wrap up when it's stuck in air okay cuz that will make it R to like 2,000 RPM do we have nipples yeah no we do about it all right let's see if there's fings is it priming you hear it m mhm turn it off we don't want to flood it right it won't well this will cuz it keeps priming this car is different yeah we about to start it hopefully I think we're getting ready to start it I know we can see if it pops off and then we can open the door uhoh nothing I don't have to clutch it no nothing you're turning the key yeah everybody's freaking out over some smell oh I smell it what is it is the battery disconnected yeah something's burning yeah oh God that was so bad yeah that suck rigging up some power to the starter right now just to get this thing started yeah it started cranking when he hooked up the battery so is the key turned all the way on or something shouldn't there be a signal that goes to the starter mhm mhm that uses the key yeah cuz you're technically aren't you jumping it right now the way you have it wired right now yeah you're basically jumping the starter like well this is just connecting the harnesses together oh for stop super really for that it stayed cranking right it didn't stop cranking was that cuz that wire that you guys have bridging it I know that's weird it seems like that wire is hooked up to the part that actually starts it every time in the same spot only when he's turning the crank pulley right it get stuck I think maybe it might have something to do with the transmission hopefully not the engine fingers crossed I kept turning the car and fuel started pouring out so we think it might have a stuck injector and be literally the same exact thing that happened with the CO's car before and the 1j might be hydrolocked now but do you think that means it did damage to the Rings like it did with her car before so it should be that probably well you hear like the squeaky like when we're trying to turn like hey guys I just I just want to put this out there that uh if this is actually the problem I I found it so yeah yeah you I uh was like no there's no way remember I I you we kept on the fuel pump kept pumping so much that just scares me with this car because you know what it does yeah if you have hyck all this happens Mak ni Co cannot drive any car ever again because this just going to get hydro locked no matter what it is let's just throw this car in Craigslist has it s right now the fuel P just needs a tune just throw it on Craigslist for sale just needs a tune so if we remove the plugs there's just fuel chilling in there so all the cylinders are full fuel look at that one all the way to the top oh my gosh there's a short and apparently that's what's causing the injector to fill up when it should injector is not St it's getting power all the time so I'm using this as a noise light this L stri I hooked it up to the injector and we're getting full power and ground and it's causing to get St whoever is pumping the fuel out managed to pump most of the fuel out it's now 650 and it's starting to get light outside how crazy is that we basically just pulled the all nighter Trevor brought a spare ECU so we're going to be able to try that and hopefully that'll get it to work it's a very rare commodity around here to have a spare jzx 100 ECU but uh we got one with Trevor's ECU it appears not to be sticking again tears as things were looking poorly I started to get very sleepy and now that there's a sign of Hope again I'm getting the second wind or should I say this is like my fifth wind but uh yeah you guys know I know how it is cars we're getting rid of all the excess fuel is it coming out of the downpipe yeah it's dripping so we plugged in the coil packs and we're going to see if we can get her fired up and call it a night or should we say a morning but it seems like we need a new starter luckily 2JZ starter work for 1JZ and Adam have 2JZ starter good do we need to plug in the math ready yeah STP sounds like it's not turning over the battery's probably getting a little weak too oh hell yeah we got spark yeah Power is sent through the starter so we were trying to start it without power being sent through the starter because the starter was getting stuck so like there's a million things going wrong but the car is about to start right Alberto yes it's going to start now this red is going to the starter the power on the starter and this black wire is going to the power that should be going to the starter so what we do since the starter is sticking and staying engaged is we as soon as it starts the motor we I pull the red one off and then leave this on so it continues powering the rest of the car so come on so close okay all right that was the that was that was the closest we've gotten to start should I turn it off so it stops no you oh yeah it doesn't matter is there enough fuel left we've killed the battery from trying to start it so we got it charging now so close oh look at all that fuel just come out water from the turbo water y all right let's go what do you mean water when washed it oh so close is that still water yeah water compressor go a is it idling yes there it is hooray finally come on baby her I wish we had that TPS yeah on Let It Die we should be considered of the neighbors it is 8:00 a.m. on a Saturday they here yeah it's probably not that loud it's 8:00 a.m. they're awake they better be w that turbo whistle sounded pretty cool you ever heard like an old dude Mona's lawn at like 6:00 in the morning true dude I was just r one I got diesel was just holding the thr just like controlling the RPM oh my God th that intake manold it's so cold I don't know why we should definitely be sleeping right now but we just started mocking up intercooler piping all right so the engine is in uh all I really need to do now is uh paint the heat shield with some flame resistant paint Alberto welded up this nice intercooler piping I just need to put some clamps on them I need to clean up some of the vacuum hoses over here tuck some more wires we need to get the TPS we need to install the radiators and fans well one radiator we're not running two so I don't know why I said radiators it is currently 9:00 a.m. so excuse me I don't know how you're still awake Alberto I don't know record I know we've gotten like crazy second third fourth fifth uh wins yo um me and Trevor thought we were going to be able to do this ourselves clearly uh there's absolutely no way we would have been able to finish this on time by ourselves thank you so much Alberto everybody go subscribe to Alberto he's almost at 100,000 subscribers it will make him so happy so so happy 99,000 so close you guys know I'm like all about sleep so the fact that I've been going ham on this shows you how stoked I am and eager to get this done you guys are so stoked on it I feel like this is like some of the most hype I've ever had on videos so it's really cool that we've been doing this project keeping it daily and somehow we're surviving we're getting things done and hopefully tomorrow we'll get this thing on the road so we can drive it have some fun and see what it's like you still got more work you know I know I already thought we're paying this P SK too yeah okay I know bye all right man see you when when when you say that you love me that you you when you say when you saysince we stayed up last night till like 5:00 a.m. trying to get stuff done we are now starting today around 2:00 p.m. unfortunately a little bit of a late start and I've got to go to Nicole's brother's birthday party at 7:00 p.m. so we've got about 5 hours to work on the engine I'm assuming we'll work on a little bit more after would you say the goal is to get it in the

what it is let's just throw this car in Craigslist has it s right now the fuel P just needs a tune just throw it on Craigslist for sale just needs a tune so if we remove the plugs there's just fuel chilling in there so all the cylinders are full fuel look at that one all the way to the top oh my gosh there's a short and apparently that's what's causing the injector to fill up when it should injector is not St it's getting power all the time so I'm using this as a noise light this L stri I hooked it up to the injector and we're getting full power and ground and it's causing to get St whoever is pumping the fuel out managed to pump most of the fuel out it's now 650 and it's starting to get light outside how crazy is that we basically just pulled the all nighter Trevor brought a spare ECU so we're going to be able to try that and hopefully that'll get it to work it's a very rare commodity around here to have a spare jzx 100 ECU but uh we got one with Trevor's ECU it appears not to be sticking again tears as things were looking poorly I started to get very sleepy and now that there's a sign of Hope again I'm getting the second wind or should I say this is like my fifth wind but uh yeah you guys know I know how it is cars we're getting rid of all the excess fuel is it coming out of the downpipe yeah it's dripping so we plugged in the coil packs and we're going to see if we can get her fired up and call it a night or should we say a morning but it seems like we need a new starter luckily 2JZ starter work for 1JZ and Adam have 2JZ starter good do we need to plug in the math ready yeah STP sounds like it's not turning over the battery's probably getting a little weak too oh hell yeah we got spark yeah Power is sent through the starter so we were trying to start it without power being sent through the starter because the starter was getting stuck so like there's a million things going wrong but the car is about to start right Alberto yes it's going to start now this red is going to the starter the power on the starter and this black wire is going to the power that should be going to the starter so what we do since the starter is sticking and staying engaged is we as soon as it starts the motor we I pull the red one off and then leave this on so it continues powering the rest of the car so come on so close okay all right that was the that was that was the closest we've gotten to start should I turn it off so it stops no you oh yeah it doesn't matter is there enough fuel left we've killed the battery from trying to start it so we got it charging now so close oh look at all that fuel just come out water from the turbo water y all right let's go what do you mean water when washed it oh so close is that still water yeah water compressor go a is it idling yes there it is hooray finally come on baby her I wish we had that TPS yeah on Let It Die we should be considered of the neighbors it is 8:00 a.m. on a Saturday they here yeah it's probably not that loud it's 8:00 a.m. they're awake they better be w that turbo whistle sounded pretty cool you ever heard like an old dude Mona's lawn at like 6:00 in the morning true dude I was just r one I got diesel was just holding the thr just like controlling the RPM oh my God th that intake manold it's so cold I don't know why we should definitely be sleeping right now but we just started mocking up intercooler piping all right so the engine is in uh all I really need to do now is uh paint the heat shield with some flame resistant paint Alberto welded up this nice intercooler piping I just need to put some clamps on them I need to clean up some of the vacuum hoses over here tuck some more wires we need to get the TPS we need to install the radiators and fans well one radiator we're not running two so I don't know why I said radiators it is currently 9:00 a.m. so excuse me I don't know how you're still awake Alberto I don't know record I know we've gotten like crazy second third
