Well here is my issue
I did the 1J swap in my 92 sc300 about a month ago. Swap went smooth and I was able to start the car and let it idle. I did not drive the car so I assumed everything went perfect
This week I was able to get home and finish it all up. I went to drive it yesterday and the car is making No power. Feels like about 50 hp at max. The car starts right up, idles smotth, revs nice, but when i drive it Nothing. The boost gauge reads nice vacume and when I rev it sitting still it jumps up to zero like it should. Then when I drive it the boost will jump up to zero and as i floor it, it will actually slowly dip back into vacume like a NA car does with a boost gauge.
BAD TURBOS (locked up)???
Also when I did the swap i didn the timing belt. tensioner, waterpump etc etc. Could this be a timing issue??
The car is so slow even if the turbos werent moving I would think it would have more power than it has now.
What do you guys think I should look at? What steps should i be taking next?
Thanks a lot
