No hesitation.. if you revv it in park it screams up and hits the redline instantly, like a bike motor. It sounds STRONG, the turbos spin great u can really hear em. No check engine lights, started on the 3rd crank and instantly starts up now like a brand new motor. Idles smooooth.
I was doing alot of reading on how ppl were having problems with the idle control motor messing with their car and it causing problems, so i reversed it and blocked it off, and got an extended screw on the throttle body... solved that problem. I also bypassed the fuel computer, i think that was causing people problems also, and i'm running an OEM 1JZ fuel pump.
Of course my temp and tach do not work, but thats minor. Tonight after work i still have to put the front end back on, throttle cable, and hood, and go for a ride. Also i call me crazy, but i'm going to add a few extra ground straps in random places, that never hurts.
I'd like to thank everyone who helped me do it:
Josh from JHOT exports for the swap
Four Townes automotive electrical for the extension
Scott, Chino, and everyone from CL and SF that helped out!!
And of course my Dad
In 2-3 weeks ill be posting a supprise picture of something i'm about to order

I've had one for sale for a while now. I just couldnt get shipping quotes quick enough for most people because the motor was still in a clip. It might be cheaper for you to come pick it up then have it shipped. I dont want to hijack a thread so just do a search on threads Ive started.
