    Now this is an engine harness!

    This thread is a little above my pay grade :) Did you supply all the connectors and specify exactly what you wanted, or did you say "this is what I have" and get that as a final product? Awesome looking piece regardless!!

    muscle car tuning tricks/techniques

    On my carb'd racing quad I used to do the "swap in new plugs, make a pass, shut down, read plugs" method to tune for WOT mixture. On the late model cars we just use the stock knock sensor, a wideband, a known-good intake mani setup that gives consistent cyl to cyl mixtures, maybe EGT's, and the...

    40R on Supra vs. 40R on EVO

    A little background. I have spent 10 times as much time doing research on EVOs (that is, one the EVO forums) as I've spent on the Supra forums. That is beginning to shift. . . One thing that I've noticed is the difference between turbo performance on the 4G63 EVO motor as compared to the 1JZ...

    How does a BB turbo work?

    One thing I've thought about is that on start up and shut down a journal bearing turbo loses all oil pressure and for a moment spins directly on the bushing. A BB turbo, however, still has the shaft supported by the bearings. On my friends DSM with a BB FP 3052, the wheel keeps spinning for...

    EVOlutionary's MKIII 1JZ Drift Car Build

    I bought a '90 MA-70 off eBay a couple years back. It was originally built and drifted by an employee of Autoshop Cannonball out of Vancouver. By the time I bought it, it had been through a couple other owners. When I took delivery of the car it was FAR from as represented on eBay. I drove it a...

    '90 1JZ swap owner here

    Dude, that's awesome! First time I've heard Warrtalon used as a verb! Nice! I know exactly what you're talking about :icon_bigg He's a nice guy but can come across pretty rough some times! In my class (StreetModified) drivetrain/powertrain is pretty much unlimited. You can do whatever you...

    '90 1JZ swap owner here

    To answer a couple questions: I am from the TriCities area of MI, Bay City, Saginaw, Midland. I am planning on running a 1JZ, whichever car I put it in. If I swap into the '92 I will keep the stock twins, if I build the '90 I will go single turbo/standalone, simply due to cost. It will take...
