    Noob Question on Retarding Timing

    Okay I feel like we are drifting off topic or I didn't state my question clear, I am putting a shit ton of supporting mods on my car, injectors large enough to hit 650HP, intake manifold, boost controller (manual), cam's and gears, wideband, fuel pump, and suspension mods to keep it going...

    Noob Question on Retarding Timing

    I know I won't NEED it with the stock twins but I want to have it all done and on there so WHEN I get a tubular twin manifold built and get the new turbos all I have to do is weld up the manifold to the existing exhaust, mount a wastegate and rerun some intercooler piping, mount the turbos and...

    Noob Question on Retarding Timing

    oh sorry the car already has a ridonkulous 3" STRAIGHT exhaust(the emphasis on straight because who ever put it on didn't even follow the contour of the existing exhaust space, it makes a 45 degree turn after the down pipe and is a straight peice of 3" exhaust to the APEXI fart can) so I feel...

    Noob Question on Retarding Timing

    Okay from what I understand stand-alones don't come with base maps, and I don't know enough about tuning to put a safe tune on it to get it to a shop. Also standalones are a PIA to wire up if I am not going all out 900HP 30psi of boost, I am only looking to get maybe 325-350 on stock twins with...

    Noob Question on Retarding Timing

    Okay so when increasing boost you have to retard timing to avoid pre-det correct? Now for us MK3 1JZ-GTE owners finding a piggy back Ignition controller is not an easy feat, so is it possible to safely retard the timing for increased boost on stock twins or even up say twin TD05-18G's using...

    Cipher Auto Seats

    Okay so granted they are not going to be Sparco, Bride, or Recaro's but not all of us want or can spend 400 bucks a seat for racing seats. Cipher Auto makes some average looking racing seats for about 250 a pair. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these and what their thoughts...

    OBX Twin Turbo Manifold

    My concern is that I wanted to do make that without beating my firewall in to make room and based on the way it looks, I don't think I can put bigger turbos' on a 1JZ in a MKIII without doing so, but I might just be a noob....

    OBX Twin Turbo Manifold

    yea I am only looking to get like 450 max out of it, something that spools quick but yet stay with the twins

    OBX Twin Turbo Manifold

    Okay I am looking to get a after market turbo manifold to mount slightly bigger twins, the only one I have found is the OBX Twin, it says it supports two TD06-20's, does anyone know how well these mount up in a MK3 chassis with a 1jz? will I have to beat up the engine bay to get them in there...

    Upgrading 1JZ Twins

    Also what would be a good size cam for moderate upgrade, would a 256 be more than enough or is a 264 streetable? And I was more concerned with how much power/boost the stock 1J internals can handle? Are they forged? I know the headgasket is a steel one. Do I need to upgrade the cams to go run...

    Upgrading 1JZ Twins

    Stock ECU, no idea's on that yet prefer to get the stock ECU reflashed, don't like piggy backs, and dont feel like investing in a standalone. As for injectors I would probably get some around the area of 650-770's. And how about heat? I noticed that the supra runs warm with stock turbos and 1...

    Upgrading 1JZ Twins

    Supporting mods consist of a GIANT intercooler, stock motor, stock manifolds, stock everything other than radiator(its mishimoto) and I want twins for the fact of having twins, going single would be the cheapest, easiest, most reliable and most unlimited option but I like having twins, even if I...

    Upgrading 1JZ Twins

    Hey my question is how big of turbo's can I put on a MKIII with a 1J? I am not trying to put huge twins on there just something a little bit bigger than stock. Any ideas?

    Running hot?

    Okay my car can idle forever and a day and never heat up but as soon as I start driving it gets hot, then boils over ONLY when I turn it off. Now I have already checked the water pump(water is flowing through the radiator) which also means the thermostat is good, I can rev it up while it is in...

    Mishimoto Radiator

    Okay, there is a small hole in my radiator and I have been searching for a good replacement. I have decided to go with the mishimoto radiator and shroud kit but I don't know if it will fit in my car with the current motor, does anyone have a mishimoto radiator in there mk3 with a 1J?
