So im thinking of getting the brian crower 1mm oversized valves for the 1jz head. I already have the springs and retainers, and the 272 cams from BC. So i feel like this would be that last big step for an uber top end... I have no clue about any machine shops. The guy i used last time for the...

Well, long story short, i pulled the motor almost a year ago, and have since rebuilt it and upgraded almost everything. Had it bored .020" over, CP pistons, Crower 272 cams, spring and retainers, ported and polished, light wieght flywheel, 550cc injectors and a PT6262 single conversion. All new...

Hey guys. I had th motor re worked, and they took .006" off the head, and none off the block. This equates to ~.16mm which means i would need a new 1.2mm gasket instead of the stock 1.0mm I was wondering what the compression ratio would be if i were to keep the stock 1.0mm head gasket...

I ordered a precision 6262 T4 turbo about 5 weeks ago. I wanted the S-Trim with the ported shroud. But the one i received wasn't ported. They say all they are willing to do is have me unbolt the compressor housing and send it to them, then they will send me the correct one. Problem is, i...

Hey guys, working on replacing my control arm bushings with new poly bushings. Problem is, i cant seem to get the lower control arm bolt out of the rear side bushing on the front control arms. It just will not budge.I have taken the nut off, and I must have hit it 100 times with a large hammer...

Ok guys, its crunch time for my motor finally. This weeked i plan to tear it down completely since its now out of the car, bolt it to a pallet of some sort, and carry it on over to the machine shop. I just wanted some input on any parts i may have forgotten or left out, and any tips you 1JZ...

Im looking into getting some forged pistons for my 1jz, but im not sure what bennifit they would have for me. Right now ill just be running a stinger and basic parts upgrade w/ 272 cams and stock twins, but i am saving for a 67mm turbo of some sort. My future power goals are around 500whp...

Well i finally got around to playing with all the powder coat stuff i bought a while back, and man! Im impressed! I do plan on doing this as a side job here and there to make a little more profit for the supra, but for now, im just powder coating my own parts that will be going on the supra...

Well i have the rebuild kit from driftmotion, 1st gear thrust washer, and HD bearing plate. My question is, where can i have my transmission rebuilt? Is a place like AAMCO worth taking it to? Or is there some better place to ship my transmission to? Im really wanting to keep the shop local, But...

So i have searched and searched, and cannot for the life of me find any upgraded parts for the 1JZ heads. I was hoping to find some better springs and retainers, or the titanium sort, but i simply cannot find them any where! Nor can i fin stock replacements. Im pretty sure the 2JZ springs...

I have purchased the new poly bushings from marlin crawler, and im having trouble removing the two posts that engage the shifter ball. How can you get these out? I have tried pliers and a hammer and the wont budge... I have to move them so i can get the lower bushing in.

I just bought this supra with the 1JZ swap done. The tranny and engine both need rebuilt. My questions are, what should i rebuild, where can i get the heads done and what do i need to have done for the transmission? I have never done any of this, im a broke college kid, so budget is small...
