Well, lets get started with this rant. Back in 2007, I bought my first Supra (Red '91 Turbo), and had big plans for it. After having the car for about a year, I decided to take on schooling for Aircraft Maintenance Engineering. I had always seen and heard about people selling their car that...

Hey I am a little bit confused as to how this is supposed to fit. I have read the "2JZ swap guide for dummies", and I know you swap A/C head from the 7m on to the 2JZ A/C pump, and use the 7m A/C lines... Done that, now do I have something backwards here or is a LOT of grinding necessary...

I've been meaning to make a build thread, and I will... but here is a couple cool comparisons from before (when I first picked up my 2JZ), and after I was done with it.

A few questions, I'll get right to it.. 1. I am doing a 2JZ-GTE swap into my '90 MK3. I have the BIC brackets for the engine mounts, and I ordered new engine mounts from Driftmotion. They are shorter than the stock mounts that came with the engine, and I am confused. Will these Driftmotion...

So Im posting on behalf of a guy I know at work doing a 2JZ swap into his lexus.. He had his head machined, cleaned the block surface, and got a new stock 2j head gasket. Used a light coat of copper spray and torqued it all down. Then realized he forgot to put the dowel pins back in. I told...

Hey all Just want some good advice as to how to get the best possible finish on the block surface for a new stock head gasket. The head has already been removed and machined. As far as the block goes, scrape all leftover gasket material off with a razor blade, and then sand it? If so, with what...

Hey I am trying to remove the stock head off my 2JZ-GTE. The manual says to use a "10mm bi hexagon wrench" which MUST be wrong. I have done some reading and many are saying it is a 12point 12mm. I have also read mixed comments about using a triple square. So, I picked up one of these with a...

Hey all, Just received my new FX-R D2S projector retrofit kit. Thought I would share some photos of it. I will post some pics as I fit these into the housings - clearance will be tight, as well as some finished product pictures next week sometime. Super excited to get these in. For those...

Hey all Going to be purchasing a boost logic t4 manifold for my 2jz swap in my mk3. Just wondering if anybody has any positive/negative input they would like to share, or anything i should know before buying such an expensive manifold. Feedback is much appreciated! Cheers

Hey all, I will start by saying this is a STOCK 7M-GTE engine - and ran beautifully until this problem occurred. After doing a pull in 2nd gear, I came to a stop and the engine was running rough as if it were some sort of vacuum leak or misfire. Cut to the chase here... its a cam timing...

Just wondering if anybody on here has any positive/negative experiences with certain 2JZ-GTE T4 exhaust manifolds in a MK3 Supra. I am trying to decide where the best place to get one from is... So far I only know of driftmotion, and xspower. Any recommendations? Thanks all!

I am looking to replace my TPS on my 1990 7mgte. The part number on the sticker on mine is: 198500-0241. Theres two on driftmotion I can order: 89-92: 89452-14050 86-89: 89452-20050 If I ordered the 89-92 TPS from driftmotion, would it work properly on my car? Is there any difference...

Ill start by listing mods I have: BOV, BIC DDP - no cat, Mishimoto rad, AEM Tru-Boost controller, AEM Wideband. ALL vacuum lines are brand new and checked over many times. First problem: Car sometimes runs rich under vacuum (foot off the gas) when cruising in gear, say at 60kmh. I can be...

Just installing my H&R Springs on Bilstein shocks, doing the front right now. When the spring is on the shock, and the top mount is on and tightened, the spring is free to move, and not snug in between the top and bottom mount. (unless of course the weight of the car is on the shock) Is this...

Is it at all possible for me, or a machine shop to replace my valve stem seals with the head on? I have heard of using compressed air to keep the valve up while changing the seal, is this do-able? I know there are TONS of threads on blue smoke on startup.. and thats what I have. Appreciate...

Just wondering where I go about ordering a new fan clutch for my 90' 7mgte. I see there are lots on ebay (not sure of the quality) but does anybody have a reliable source for these? Any help is appreciated! Thanks

Ill start by saying I have a stock 7m-gte, with the exception of a SSQV and shimmed wastegate at 9psi. Just curious to know how much horsepower is added going from the stock restrictive exhaust, to a full 3" exhaust off the turbo (including elbow and DP). Does anybody have before and after...

When my car is cold, for the first 3-4 minutes or so of driving, it is almost as though the injectors are not providing enough fuel to the cylinders. I do realize it is not advisable to be boosting when the car is not warmed up yet, but even so, minimal amounts of boost don't increase the...

Does anybody have any pictures of the difference between the usual 35W HID kits, and the newer 55W HID kits? Apparently the 55W is about 30% brighter still!
