Spring is almost here in Wisconsin, and I am now another year older. It's been almost 3 years since I purchased the infamous '2JZUL8R' from Nick S., and I'm guilt stricken by how little I actually drive her. Less than 1000 miles since May 16, 2011, and that might be a few hundred high. I'm in...

Anyone interested in my rebuilt 7M with barely any miles on it? Never quite finished her and now have decided to purchase Spaniard's 2JZ Supra and be done with it. Check my build thread in my sig for specifics. If interested, make an offer. Follow link to rebuild pics...

I am in need of some shallow gauges to replace my boost, oil pressure, and water temp gauges in the stock locations, behind the dash glass. I originally ordered some Autometer Z series gauges but my mechanic has informed me that they are too deep. Can anyone recommend some shallow gauges that...

I need some help/suggestions on where to mount everything in my 89 Supra. I will have the following items, and I do not want a pillar pod. I am not fully opposed to putting the boost gauge in place of the stock unit, although it won't look super clean. The cig lighter and ashtray locations...

I am currently having a lot of work done to my car (see build thread), but it has been mainly focused on the engine bay. I have decided to also have suspension work done, and have ordered h&r springs, illumina struts, st sway bars, ss traction arms, and ss sway end links. What else do you...

I haven't dealt with it yet, but it's there. My rear inner fenders are rusting away, so much so that there is a hole in the driver side from the fender to the spare tool pocket. I was holding water in the back spare well, so that has started to rust as well, although not as bad. And there is...

Most of you know that my car is out of commission, awaiting a Legend of Aces rebuild, and a Lipp Boss Jr turbo. I previously thought that I had everything covered, but I forgot about the radiator. The last time I drove the Supra she started spitting out coolant at the rear of the block. I...

As those of you that have checked out my build thread know, last July I purchased my first Supra, an 89 Turbo 5 speed. Since September she has been out of commission, sitting in the comfort of my garage while the trusty 4Runner gets me through another winter, only this time the runner has to...

I am having a company called boomslang fabrication (www.boomslang.us) make me a plug and play ECU wiring harness adapter for an Apexi NEO. I want to know if there are any differences to the ECU wiring between 88, 89, 90 models. I have an 89 Turbo with the square mounts, so I think that's early...

When I get my car on the dyno next spring for tuning, I will want to have a wideband to monitor A/F ratio, and some sort of unit to adjust the fuel settings, correct? If that is correct, will a Powerdex AFX and Apexi SAFC get the job done? Anyone care to give me a quick "Tuning and A/F...

I am really clueless on what I should use to tune my car next spring. I'm ordering everything ahead of time so that it can all be installed by my mechanic next month. With the mods listed below, I would like to tune the car to 15-18psi and be able to set it and forget it. The car will be...

This is my second attempt at a build thread, since I wasn't quite sure of my goals, and what I was going to use to get there in the first thread. Moderators, feel free to delete my first build thread. I purchased my 89 Turbo in July of 08, and it was literally bone stock with 168k on the...

My goal is a reliable 400-450 crank hp. LegendofAces.com is currently rebuilding me a stage 2 7MGTE, which includes MHG. I have a full 3" turbo-back exhaust currently (ebay recirc ddp from 935, test, HKS 75mm twin tip). When Keith swaps my engine in, he is replacing all coolant hoses, and...

I plan on upgrading to the SP61GT, but I see there is a BB version as well. Is it worth the extra $800, or will the regular version be just fine? Thanks. Ben

I'm having legendofaces.com rebuild an engine for me, and the 89 core that he has access to has a 6M crank in it. Are there any issues with this? Should I hold off, or is this not a big deal? Thanks. Ben

I have decided to ship my 7M over to legendofaces to perform a stage 2 rebuild. These are quoted to handle between 400 and 500 crank hp. My goal is 450. I've got the engine and exhaust covered, but I'm clueless when it comes to fuel and engine management. Can anyone lend some help on these...

The other night I took the Supra for a short drive, giving her boost, and when I shut her off I noticed white smoke coming from the engine bay. When I looked at the engine the smoke quickly went away. Well this morning I drove her to work, and really got into the boost. When I parked at work...

Do I have to remove the bumber to install IC hard pipes? I received my Cooleeze pipes and want to get them in soon, just want to make sure I attack it correctly. Thanks. Ben
