Just checking on this again, I'm abotu to redo my system. I'm going 2jz which has a r134a compressor. Is it possible to still use r12? Another important question, where can I still get the paralell flow condensor? I've gotten a few part numbers looking stuff up, one being 1039293 from american...

Will it fit? :D On the rear, factory spring illumia shock. 15x8 Wheel 5.5" Backspace... 295/50r15 tire. Th at's 26.8" tall. Will fender roll be good enough to daily that?

Do you think this applies to the center cylinders always running hot and usually where the BHG originates?

FFIM unless you're making massive power is really never worth the hassle for $ and work and power gains. More of an aesthetic thing for sure, I might do it some time as well to my 2jz swap just because it looks so friggin cool. I have no idea how it works either but the 7m long runner and...

Sorry if this is a revival. I'm looking at the possibility of going with a 4l80e. Seems as if it'll be similar pricing to an r154. I'm doing a slightly drag/daily setup and would much prefer auto over manual, but a340e has issues, awful aftermarket support no affordable controllers and I'd have...

I also figured I'd just run non vvti because every one else has done it before while running 7mgte electronics. Saves me money time and complications. :). When I rebuild is it recommended to put a thicker gasket in? Street car aiming for the most a a340 can take with a basic build. Probably...

I've been finding most people running 7m electronics for the 2jzge motor. Which is nice because of simplicity. I think the vvti 2jzge is also drive by wire? Anyways, is there a particular advantage of the 7m electronics? Did they just do it because they didn't have all of the 2jzge equipment...

Is there a good writeup on that anywhere? I'm looking now for the 2jzge-t swap info :) Is there a way to keep vvti? Seems everyone is running the engine from the 7mgte electronics, which I'm assuming can't run the vvti unless it's purely mechanical?

I'm looking to get a JZ series motor in my late 1989 Which currently has a 1990 turbo w58. I'm trying to compare the costs between the USDM 2jz, JDM 2jz, JDM Aristo VVTi 2jz, JZA70 1jz, Soarer VVTI 1jz. I'd prefer VVTi for low end as it's going to be a daily. I'd much prefer to go with an auto...

Most I've talked to believe the a340e built will hold up much better than a 4l60e. Depends on your powergoal obviously. ATF speed sells a a340e trans and have it on Supras running 9s and such. Seen a 1000whp 2jz 240sx on youtube which was also running a340e. I wouldn't rule it out. Best you...

I'd say I'm interested but that'll probably be too much for me and would be cheaper just to find a r154 and get a good clutch. I've just been debating where I want to go with this, seems if you want to get the a340e to hold over 400 it's going to cost a lot. I might just buy a new 6 puck disc...

I might be converting my car to an auto over my rebuild for the next year. It's my daily. Going to be shooting for the most I can get out of a 57 trim ct26. I'm assuming the max that turbo will flow is around 450whp? To convert to auto, I just need a auto computer and the shifter correct? I...

Omg. Now I feel that much cooler driving my mk3 around. :^)

Well I think I decided I'm just going to sell my prius once I finish college, working on the supra in the mid time and eventaully going back to it as my daily driver along with my bicycle (ha!). I drag raced at Import Alliance here in Kentucky and I had a blast! I'm still building a daily car...

Yeah what happened to moustache bumper!
