    What we did on Deployment (Not safe for PETA) No 56K

    One day after many weeks of building our bathroom's and showers, we thought we had finished, only to be cursed with no cold water. After careful deliberation, we decided the only thing to do was to offer a sacrifice to appease the pagan Afghani gods. What you are about to see may shock and amuse...

    diagnose 1jz ECU

    is there a way to diagnose if you have a jacked up 1jz ECU? i mean, other than getting a known good ECU and plugging it in to see if your problem goes away? im having a lot of the same issues as other people who have had messed up ECU's have had. id like to know for sure before i buy one lol

    new turbo put in, car still running like shit

    well i got my new(ish) turbo installed, just a replacement for my stock twins on my 1jz but my car still runs like shit. it is running pig rich, to the point that it misfires and bogs down if you engage the throttle more than 1/5th of the way. you can just smell the fuel getting dumped in there...

    no 1jz bov = bad?

    i believe the 1jz has a stock bov. when i bought my current supra with a 1jz swap, the owner had swapped in new IC pipes and IC but did not replace the bov. would this have caused my rear turbo to blow? it was getting oil, but still blew. i should add that there were some exhaust leaks and i...

    strength/weakness of transmissions

    i believe it was (oddly enough) in one of the 2jz cam swap into 1jz threads, someone mentioned that the r154 was kind of a weak transmission. that it could only handle around 350lbs/ft of tq before things started breaking. is this true and something i need to plan around when upgrading my car...

    Hi my name is adam. i just bought a 1989 Supra that has a 1jz-gte engine swap and has a r154 tranny. i bought it from 5l_eater (jesse) who was also kind enough to let me use his username for a bit so i could get seatbelts for the car (he had planned to put in aftermarket harness'). so anyway, im...
