SPARK PLUGS
Twin electrode plugs are recommended due to the Wasted Spark ignition system used on the 1JZ-GTE engine.
Platinum (or other precious metal) spark plugs do not necessarily perform any better nor last any longer than
standard copper plugs.
•Recommended: NGK BKR6EK (twin electrode copper plugs~$8ea)
•Platinum: NGK BKR6EKPB-11 (twin electrode ‘Premium Platinum, Special Design’spark plugs ~$20ea)
•Alternatives: NGK BKR6E, NGK BKR6E-11, NGK BKR7E, or NGK BKR7E-11
Notes: The -11 designation of the above NGK brand spark plugs denotes that the plugs are
factory pre-gapped to 1.1mm. The non -11 designated plugs are exactly the same except that they are
not factory pre-gapped to 1.1mm, however, I’m jet to find a set of non factory pre-gapped plugs to be
anything otherthan 1.1mm!
SPARK PLUG GAP
The recommended spark plug gap for a stock 1JZ-GTE engine is 1.1mm.
As you increase boost in a BPU application, you should consider progressively reducing the gap on your spark plugs,
starting with the largest gap,until such a point that any ignition issues are negated (i.e. misfire, rough idle etc)
Also, before reducing the plug gap too much, consider changing to a colder heat range plug first while starting with
the recommended stock 1.1mm plug gap. Only reduce the spark plug gap if problems persist.

SPARK PLUG HEATRANGE
When increasing boost pressure it is generally recommended to change to a colder range spark plug. In the case of
NGK spark plugs, if you were using a heat range 6 plug, you would go to a heat range 7 (colder) plug.
In addition, consider spark plug gap when increasing the performance of your engine as well.
Please note that other spark plug manufacturers may not follow the same heat range numbering system whereby
going to a heat range 7 spark plug of another brand could actually increase the heat range.
Notes: Both Champion and Bosch spark plugs use a decreasing value range to indicate colder
plugs as opposed to NGK who use an increasing heat range. i.e. When using NGK, a 2 heat range is
hotter than a 12heat range.
BRAKES

which fit the IS300 will also fit theJZX100.

TOYOTA DIAGNOSTIC CODES
Reading the diagnostic trouble codes is very easy. You will need a paper clip to short the check connectors of the
diagnostic connector. The diagnostic connector comes in two types. The early system is located on the inner-left
fender well and is a round, green connector, usually located near the air cleaner. Simply jump the two terminals in this
connector with the ignition switch in the "ON" position and the engine off. Later models, '87 and newer use a multiple
terminal "DIAGNOSTIC" connector which is a small, rectangular-shaped grey "box", usually located near the right
fender in the enigne compartment. To get codes out of this type of connector, jump the "TE1" and "E1" terminals.
Finding these terminals is easy as the inside cover of the diagnostic connector contains a schematic of the connector
pinouts. If the under hood emission decal (VECI) is still intact on your vehicle, the proper pins for this are outlined
there as well.
The trouble codes will appear as flashes of the check engine lamp. Be sure the ignition key is on, the engine off, and
your foot off of the accelerator when reading the codes. Two different codes may appear: One-digit and two digit.
One digit codes have an approximate 4.5 second delay between flashes with the check engine light illuminating for
about a half of a second. Multiple codes have a 2.5 second delay between them. For example a code two flashes the
check engine lamp two times in a little over one second: I I. If two codes are stored, such as a code two and a code
four, the lamp may flash as such: ....I I....I I I I. Crude examples but you get the idea. Two digit codes are similar but will
flash the lamp with the first number first and the second number last. An example of a code twleve is I ....II and a code
twenty fouris I I..IIII.
