    1JZ Build Plan

    ha supras are a little obese. Can't say specific to a targa, but most run a bit under 3400 lbs

    1JZ Build Plan

    for only making 400 hp you are much better off going the 7m route. As long as you build it correctly with supporting mods those engines don't have a problem with that horsepower. The 1jz takes a lot of time and money, not to mention the headaches that are sure to come with it installing it (also...

    Engine won't stay running

    I guess the threadline should now read "Engine idles just fine, won't run" . Checked the inputs to the fuel injectors, TPS, 02, coolant, CPS, MAP sensor, and they appear to be feeding good info to the ECU. Would like to check the fuel pressure, but finding a place to tie into is a joke. Could...

    Engine won't stay running

    Finished putting 1jz into the car and it runs (poorly), but only if you constantly pump the throttle. If you hold it down, steady, or idle, it dies. Anyone have any experience with something similar? Also, there are no codes popping up.

    Minnesota Supra Meet! 5/15/10

    the engine is fine and is still in great shape, but i took it out because i had to keep making the trek from the cities to Fargo for school and didn't want to put miles on the engine. frustrating to see it sitting in the garage again, but better to keep that with low miles. ---------- Post...

    Minnesota Supra Meet! 5/15/10

    i should be able to make that five mile drive over to Stillwater, but the only thing is i don't have the 1jz in mine anymore so it will be on the slower end... i may be a little late too because of work

    quad tip exhaust possible?

    well my mood has changed trastically since the start of this post. ha. Maybe i don't want to do all this work. I looked up the whole fuel cell stuff. Ya, F that, i am not going to mess around with that just yet.

    quad tip exhaust possible?

    i dont know much about fuel cells, so i will research that one out. Yea i think i am just going to have to get a smaller gas tank or one fitted or conformed to allow me to get the second exhuast system around it, which wont bother me. Well at least until i start installing everything.

    quad tip exhaust possible?

    Haha i love Tommy Boy. I figured it would be a huge pain in the ass. I kept saying to myself, "If I f up the project and don't account for all the variables (such as the amount of heat, where i am bolting/welding parts, etc...) i could kill myself. hahaha. I like the alternative, but if i am...

    quad tip exhaust possible?

    I don’t know exactly what board this fit on so I thought I would try general discussions. Call me crazy, but I am a fan of the symmetrical look. I have wanted to put a quad tip exhaust onto my 91 supra, but the gas tank seems to get in the way of a dual set-up. I haven’t really found a supra...
