So looking into running a thermostatic sandwich plate for my oil cooler and just not sure if the 7m and jz stuff are the same. For instance on DM's website for their oil filter relocation kit the 5m/6m/7m/1jz/2jz are all the same but their oil cooler just says 2jz. kinda conflicting and would...

Yeah after I posted I was like huh why would the fans kick on before the car is at operating temp haha. I found one that is 200 on 185 off. Might do that unless I decide to get a adjustable one.

So I'm in the works of making my fans operate on a thermal switch. Any input at what tempature I should have the switch at? IIRC oem thermostat is 195 so maybe a 185 on 175 off thermal switch. I hate toggle switches and switched relays off the ignition I rather it work like an oem style e-fan...

From a local friend I got a new IACV, coolant temp plug, and cps. Really helped with a handful of my running issues and does very well now! I have about 235 miles on the rebuild and she runs pretty darn strong. Really makes me realize how badly my old motor ran. Couple photos now! So the...

So daily driver broke down so now im driving the supra as a daily. Just got it running decently two days ago but has a random missfire every once in a while. I think its because of my cps so tomorrow I'm getting a new cps, coolant plug, coil pack, and a iacv from a buddy and see if shes golden...

So I have been doing a little plugging away. Pulled the codes and have three of them; 22 which is water temp sensor signal to ecu, 31 which is AFM signal, and 51 which is switch signal. 22 I just pulled my green coolant temp plug and it crumpled in my hand and one of the pins was already...

The actual brand I am not positive I bought them a while back, couple 12" electric fans and they did pretty well last time my car was running even in race conditions. Came in a kit with a shroud also. I set the timing spot on today and I'm super happy with that. It has a random misfire that is...

oh how badly I want a 1uz mk2!! pure sex with itb's. My plan as of right now is to setup a relay for my electric fans tomorrow, try to reseal my still seeping freeze plug, and double check that the timing is spot on. Might hook up my check engine light tomorrow just to check codes and make...

I bought the car specifically for racing a few years back and have just been building from the ground up. Im going to participate in drift events starting at stateline speedway in post falls idaho and also race in the local auto-x scene to get more seat time and really dial in the chassis the...

Been too busy to update because I have been busting ass from sunrise to sunset. Got a lot done though :) Got my spec stage 3 in from my buddies at brewedmotorsports.com and tossed this guy on her. Got the motor all the way in the night after I got the clutch in and was up till 4am...

Exactly. My swap took 3 years because I also did all the suspension work and what not. This swap and full rebuild with over pistons is just about at the one year mark. I do dig your oil cooler setup and am going to do something similar now. Damn you for the good ideas! haha

So I did this same thing too. I just went to napa and got some m6x1.5 (I think) nuts with no washers and she works just dandy. At first though when I put these on I tried to turn it over and just ripped the teeth off my timing belt haha nothing was moving at all. I just went through your...

Thanks man, always appreciate the kind words! So I'm good friends with the guys at the parts and actually just got a red top batter for 15$ if it retains a charge well, If not I will get the other one they are holding for me. Not to shabby at all :) Monday when all the car audio shops are...

So awesome update time! I mean that sarcastically by the way.... So after having the motor all assembled I put oil in it to prime the motor and it started pouring oil out of the front timing cover on the passanger side. Luckily it was still out of the car but I was still pretty upset...

Yeah man when I had her running before it was awesome! The most shocked was a guy I pulled on hard in one of the fast lightnings. Cant wait to have her back up and running I just bought them all from driftmotion.com. They sell pretty much any connector you could need.
