The year of the 1JZ is irrelevant, the CHASSIS it came out of is where this alternator nonsense comes into play. Chasers have the alternator in the engine BAY harness, while Soarers have it in the ENGINE harness. Since your harness is from a Chaser, you don't have any alternator wiring in the actual engine harness and you'll need to add that in.

Dude you are just chasing your tail, i told you what you need to do to fix that , Tweaktech told the same thing , there is nothing else we can do for you . You need to go outside and tear up your harness or if you can do it or don't know how thing work let a profesional do it. Simple is that.
All we are doing here is keep repeating ourselves.
Sorry i am not trying to be a Jerk or anything.

I don't think you're being a jerk at all and the things you've posted have been really helpful. I'd really hate this place to turn into DSMTuners though where they don't understand some people need more exact instruction than others. Some people go on there with a question and the moderators lose their minds and start calling members lazy and how they aren't going to "spoon feed them information". I'm not trying to create a pissing match here, just trying to explain that I think the topic here is a great piece that should be spelled out for someone thats on the fence about doing a swap.

Just chase the wires on your 2jzge harness , remove them from you ge harness and add them into you 1jzgte harness at the same location.
Or just go by the wirirng pinout i had posted on the first page of this thread it tells you where each wire goes and the color.

Sfrymyah and the op need to buy a Lexus factory wiring diagram book specifically f Our car and then start at the beginning where it teaches you exactly how to use the book. It's very simple. If you cannot figure out how, which I highly suspect the op will not, then you either need to pay someone to do it or post pics of your car once it catches fire.
When doing your harness, youll run one wire from one of the plug on the fuse box, like ij1 or something like that iirc (double check factory book can't remember off the top of my head since most toyotas have similar named plugs that are completely different) and two more wires from inside the cabin, passenger kick panel.
Op, how can you hold the large gauge power wire for the alternator and have no idea what it is after saying you've yanked an engine out of this car before? Please pay someone to do this, take the time to learn it, or sell it all and save yourself the headache.

for the alternator your not looking at what the engine your swapping in has.... your looking at what your chassis is asking for.
your chassis wants the alternator plug run through the engine harness
so you need to do what quicksc4 and tweak said, get your GE harness out and de-pin the alternator plug from the ge engine harness and splice it into your soarer harness

So I took the advice to heart and went out in the garage to trace the wires i needed and posted my results with wiring advice in a new thread.

hope this helps anyone trying to figure this out in an elementary way.
