    Mabru's Soarer

    Thanks for all the kind words, it's pretty much a DIY project. I don't weld and do body/paint so I can't take credit for those. Here a couple taken this morning.

    Supramania's Elite Engine bay Thread...ZERO progress pics.

    I don't know about the word "elite", but I'm happy with it and I try to keep it clean. Although it's not a Supra and it's a 1.5J.

    Anyone using a MSD DIS4

    I'm thinking about going this route soon, I'm assuming you need to use two of the adapters to make the DIS-4 work with the JZ?

    1jzgte stock injector lag time

    I thought I had this written down at home (at work right now). I'll check when I get off. Sorta on the topic, does anyone know what MSD 96lb/hr lag time is? MSD never has it on hand and they never call back.

    3 puck TRD clutch for 1jz

    I had the metal TRD three puck. I hated it and switched to a 6 puck ceramic. The metal clutch and lightened flywheel was very difficult to drive in traffic without either revving higher than I wanted (which amounted to almost a drag launch) or stalling, it didn't slip well at lower rpm and was...

    My 1.5J Soarer project

    Got them off of ebay, black euros. I'm not a huge fan of them but I like them better than the standard rear lights. Annoyingrob, I'm not sure yet on the spool, I'm just coming out of my break-in period now so the gate has been open and avcr set at the minimum. It's trying to spool...

    My 1.5J Soarer project

    I'm not really sure, I bought it off of Yahoo Japan, I can't remember what the sticker under it says but it was FRP and weighed a hell of a lot less than the stocker.

    My 1.5J Soarer project

    I barely post on here, but I read it quite a bit. I thought I would share :icon_bigg I still need to install the getrag, ORC triple, and put it in for bodywork and paint. I have to have the driveshaft made to install the getrag so that put a delay on the project. Ported 1J head BC...

    Aftermarket intake mani. ?

    JZZ30, and JZX90 also have fitment problems with these. The same things you mentioned need to be moved or modified. The fuse boxes are huge in these cars and the PS reservoir is between the manifold and the shock tower which interferes with intake plenum placement. The stock battery tray is...

    Swap Thread (Yea, I know, another) 2JZ in MA70

    Thank you, I was about to try to clear this up. There are only two chassis that use the JZ that use rear sump. 30 Soarer and 70 Supra. I have multiple JZ motors at home and I needed a rear sump but wouldn't you know it, one motor from an Aristo and one from a 90 Chaser.

    Waterpump

    Either way, I'm not comfortable buying a used pump, be it water, fuel, or oil.

    Waterpump

    I don't think that was pulled from a 2J turbo motor. The ones I've seen have a metal impeller not plastic. Soarer 1JZ pumps were clutch fan and had plastic impellers.
