It's been several yeas since I sold my Supra but tomorrow I'm getting back into one!!! I'm trading it straight up for my beater (my other car is a turbo MR2) but it has a rolled bearing and knocking (what a terribly unexpected surprise from the 7MGTE). I will be looking for either a good but...

Just so you guys know, I'm selling my supra. It's posted in the cars for sale section under "Black Targa 87 Blown Engine 1JZ Single Turbo Supra". I think it's a blown head gaskit and for what i have into it, it's going cheep so check it out!

Unfortunately, I'm thinking about selling my 1J Supra. I need the money and am interested in what you guys think I could get for this thing. I've owned it for a few years and am very attached to it. I did everything to it myself and invested several thousand into it. It's currently running 14...

Well looks like I'm in the market for my second 1J. :nono: So what I'm looking for is a 1J somewhere in the LA area so I can go look at it before i purchase. Wheather it be from an importing business or a personal seller, I'd like to find a 1J with low miles and freshly imported. It does't need...

I have an HKS metal head gasket. My question here is if this thing is re-usable? I've been told by one individual that he has re-used them in the past. Is this an ok thing to do or would I just be wasting my time if I tried to re-use the one I have? It looks to be in good shape. If not, I will...

I recintly got my car on the road and I think I'm running a bit hot. I've been building from 90 degrees celsius to 120 degrees celcius. I feel like 120 is too high. Does anyone else measure by celcius? What is too hot?

As some of you may know, I've been working on my 1J Supra for the past 2.5 years. I just got word from my tuner that it's running and tuned for 14 psi. I'm going to drive it around for a week or two before I decide to go balls to the wall with it. On only 14 psi, it made 380 hp and 335 tq to the...

I just moved to the LA area and I'm interested in racing my 500hp supra in some kind of road coarse racing. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

What is the best oil to use? I'm running Mobil1 15w50 at the moment and I was reading on the MR2 forum that most of them agree that 5w20 is the best for their cars and they say that a heavier oil like 15w50 is not good to run because of how long it takes to warm up and disperse throughout the...

Where can I find a good set of solid motor mounts?

So what do you guys think? Since we have 1J's in our cars, and our cars don't normally come with them... Do you guys think our cars can be considered sleepers? Especially those of us who have reached higher horse power levels? Most people don't know what our cars are because they're a bit...

Is the oil pan from a 2JZ-GTE the same as the one from a 1JZ-GTE? Are they compatable? Will I be able to use a 2JZ-GTE oil pan on my 1JZ-GTE? Size difference? Any cross member clearance issues? Thanks.

I don't know a whole lot about our transmissions. I'm sure most of you already know the answer to these questions... What is the difference between the R154 and the W58? Which one is better? Where do they come from? I ask because there have been a few new threads started to include my own...

How much power/ torque do you guys think the R154 can safely handle with a good driver and someone who doesn't constantly beat on it?

There are two Cam Position Sensors on the 1J and 2J. My Haltech ECU calls for one of them to be wired up. Now my question is... Is there any difference between the two cam position sensors? Should it make a difference which one I use? I didn't think so but as of right now, my car turns over but...

I'm having an issue with getting some good strong spark. First, I'm not running the stoch coils or igniter. I have a Haltech using some LS1 coils (corvette motor) which Haltech recomended. Also each coil has it's own built in igniter. Now the reason why I ask is because I wanted to see if you...

How can I tell if my injectors are clogged or not? I think I'm getting good fuel but I'm not 100% sure. Is there any way I can test them to find out for sure?

Ok. So in the mix of taking stuff out of the engine bay due to going full stand alone, somehow I've lost track of how the ABS and the A/C is wired up to the car. I have a 1JZ and everything else is wired up and working. Please help.:sadwavey:

In everyone's opinion... what is the best location for a BOV?

What is more beneficial? Having one large fuel pump or having two smaller ones the same size? Where is a good place for the second fuel pump if I were to go with two? If a fuel pump is rated at 255 lph then that should be all it can do right? How does a second one with the same rating help pump...
