Yes, we are still playing with the 1JZ. What an amazing engine.
The Microtech is LTX12 version and direct fires the coils. I have wired the unit by splicing into the Toyota harness. We can switch betweem computers. We had to replace the injectors with a new harness as the 1JZ is multi fire and the LTX is sequential fire. The easiest way was to make a second harness for the plugs and leave the old harness intake.
Brent is still learning how to program. It is the laptop version where he can hook his laptop into the Microtech and use it for data logging. We only installed it today so he is now out and about driving around and adjusting it on the run.
Will let you know the final outcome. At least it runs - that was my part to complete all the wiring and get it to start. Now its up to Brent and the laptop to finish it.

I have photos of the sump but haven't scanned them into the computer yet. I also have three films waiting for development that have many photos of the conversion on them. When I get them developed I can scan them in and write a tech article.
The fuel lines also had to be swapped over to the opposite side. The exhaust wasn't a problem - it just did a dogleg over to hook up to the existing system. Since them we have replaced the complete exhaust with a 3.5" twin pipe system - works well.
