anyone know if the 2jz mechanical fan will fit with a koyo rad? i read something on supraforums that it wont fit any chance the 7m and 2jz mechanical fans are the same?

think it could just be an under powered fan? the cooling system holds pressure, and both the upper and lower rad hoses are hot... so i guess it could be.. i just wouldnt think the fan would make much difference once your moving i thought it would have enough air flow.. especially since im...

So my water pump went on my 1jz, i removed it, installed a new 2jz water pump, running an electric rad fan as the hydrofan is gone alone with the 1j pump. problem is, ever since i installed the 2jz pump. the car over heats... is there anything special i need to do in order to use a 2jz water...

theres not much i can do with pedal adjustment. the clutch doesnt really engage/disengage until pretty close to the top of the pedal travel, but i cant adjust it any lower becuase it doesnt fully disengage until the pedal is fully to the floor. i dunno its weird, its like as soon as the...

cars a JZA70, running 420rwhp. currently has an OS gikken multiplate (not sure the exact model/type becuase theres 4 or 5 different options for the 1j and it was already on the car when i imported it) this clutch is way over kill for the power im making and its a bitch to drive on the...

as much as i love cars, id sell the supra. if its got a bit of rust on it anyhow, and its just a regular 7M in it, unless it has some special meaning to you, id sell it. being poor sucks. what good is a nice sports car if you have no money to put gas in it, and no where to go becuase you...

ive always wondered about this.. does being in a 1:1 gear really make that much difference? i mean, yes, your trans is 1:1 in 4th (on most 5spds) but every car is gonna have different rear end gearing.. so doesnt that make it kind of irrelevant? if gear ratios affects the reading that...

the 1j supras in jdm land had 4.1 rear ends.. USDM supras are either 3.73 or 3.9, so the speedo gear in the tranny is different. swap the speedo gear in the tranny to your old one, and your all set.

im running a 3.9 in my 1j, twin td05-16gs, - 4500-7500 powerband ive been tryin to decide if its worth it to go back to a 4.1. i would have thought it would be better, get me into boost on 1st and 2nd faster. now after reading this im not so sure. 1st gear is damn near useless even...

yup, i had the same attitude that ABS was dumb, until i talked to some race drivers, and actually drove a car with ABS. you can tell your on the threshold of braking from the feel,and the sound of the tires. haha thats why i roll my windows down sometimes on the track, love that sound. from...

you also have to keep in mind thats theres a difference between threshold braking and allowing ABS to assist you when you apply slightly too much braking force, vs. just slamming on the brakes on a icey road.

think of it this way, your ABS is only doing something if your locking up your wheels. so you can still threshold brake and get just as much stopping power as a non-abs car, the abs is just an extra system there to bail you out if you happen to screw up your threshold braking and start to lock...

i had mine in line on the way to my oil filter/cooler, and i was getting readings really high like that. i then moved it to the return line back to the engine, and it reads more normal pressue. I think its something to do with restriction in the system caushing the pressure to read higher, if...

im talkin real 1j mounts, not an adapater from a pre 89 crossmember or adapater from a 7M car. cars a 90 JZA70, not a swapped US car. hoping to find a set of 1j mounts that just bolt in to replace stock. or do yours work for this too? im not exactly sure how the whole pre/post 89 cross...
