well I fixed my miss fire it was the spark plug gap. I regapped the spark plugs to 1.2mm and it now runs great so all I now have left is hooking up the exhaust and finish wiring the fans

I only have about $3500 in this and I can say for me it was easy. I did every thing on gas station pay if you do every thing your self you can save alot of money and gain alot of experience.

How is the 1JZ holding up.. Can you enlighten me on the correct way to run the power steering lines? I cant find this info out anywhere!!!! I believe I have got it figured out but I want to be sure before I buy a custom made line the wrong length.

Not accurate.
The difference in length is along the firewall in the engine bay. This means all the wires from the engine bay past the firewall need extending (with the exception of the heat VSV). The only wires that do not are the body plugs to the ECU.
The knock sensor wires can be extended past the shield although replacing the whole wire is more ideal

It should be noted that all i extended was the body plugs which was simple and easy. ecu was moved to sit on top of the abs unit and the black kit panel was fitted back over the two. The car is now a big single and is running emange ultimate with pnp harness which give extra length and let me place the ecu in the oem location

powering the ignition was easy i hacked a plug off the 1uzfe. under the fuse box you will find two plugs. one plug is on your harness and the other is the wrong plug. you will be cutting the the right plug off the 1uzfe and will be using that. the plug from the 1uzfe has three wire's red orange and black and the black. the wrong plug only has two wires black and orange and black. all you need to do is soider the red and black wire and orange and black wire on the 1uzfe plug to the orange and black wire on the 1jz harness and black to black and plug it in. mine started first try
