I love my 1UZ swap, it has been very reliable for over 5 years and around 40,000 miles. I love this swap so much I bought a second supra to swap it into so my 1st supra can get a new swap. The 1uz is a very cheep engine and the 1989-94 1UZ's are very sturdy. Its a lot easier swap these days...

I bought a package deal 3 years ago from FF DYNAMICS radiator, twin electric fans and fan controller for around $450 shipped. I have not had a single problem with ay of it to date. http://www.ffdynamics.com/supra86b.html free shipping and lifetime warranty on both the fans and rad.

Same hear, 5 years and still happy.

I have been useing a billet 6061 pistol grip shifter for about 4 years now and love it. I cost me less than $30 shipped. I took a stock supra shifter and removed the upper piece and the rubber from the lower piece and then threaded the lower piece and attached the pistol grip. I will never go...

I have been fair weather daily driving (may through October) my 87 for about 6 years. The first year was 7MGE, then 3 years of 1UZ-FE V8 and the last 2 years have been Whipple charged 1UZ-FE V8. More or less a very reliable car once the 7mge came out. Driving my supra is kinda like flying the...

While the MK3 supra has its faults I would say its in the top ten RWD cars to come from japan to the usa. I got the impression that the author of that article was eather just some dushe out E thugin or has little to no true experience with cars. I have had and worked on quite a few cars over...

Very nice swap, looks very cleen and well thought out. I have been running a similar setup in my supra for around 5 years now, early 1UZ, bebop plate, R154, stand alone EMS (megasquirt 2) and boost, though its from a Whipple not a turbo. Has been nothing but reliable and gets far better MPG...

I looked around on line and read some reviews of cat's parts. They seem to be kinda hit and miss depending on what kind of part and how much of the machining they do vs there china suppliers. $65 is a very good price but I would hate to have a flywheel fail. You might just be better off...

I took a look at that one for $65 on ebay. CAT seams to be a legit company, small long time running USA shop. Its probbly a great deal and its S.F.I. rated and they seam to do a lot of NHRA stuff. For $65 you could pick that one up and run it and that would give you time to find or have me...

Yo dude, whats up. I looked into this quick and it seams that aasco was bought out by unorthodox. HP freaks has unorthodox inserts for $160 but I dont know if they are compatable and they did not list one for a supra. You need the 9.5" OD and 6" ID "heat shield", aasco still has a wbe site...

I don't disagree that there are quite a few good manual transmissions out there. I just tend to use the R154 when I do swaps into MK3 supras cause they are strong, cheep and they fit into a MK3 so well you would think they were made for it, LOL. I am not that familiar with Mercedes and BMW...

Thats right along with what I was thinking, the Mercedes Benz OM642 v6 diesel weighs 460lbs alone and 585lbs with a R154 and puts out 240hp and 455tq. 7MGTE complete with turbo and A/C compressor 515lbs alone and 640lb with a R154 and puts out 230hp and 240TQ 1JZ-GTE weighs 700lb with...

The 2UR-GSE is one sweet engine but the thought of haveing to wire that thing up and get it running on stand alone makes me cringe. Maby in a few years once they have a mega squirt 4 or 5 out things will be diffrent. I would love to see what I could do with that engine and the 4.0L twin screw...

If you want to sell it and its related parts let me know.

Like I said alot depends on on how much you can do your self. However as other have mentioned where you live also has alot to do with how difficult this kind of thing is to do. I am lucky as where I live on a car as old as a mk3 supra you only need "A cleen title" to get it registered and some...

LOL, the roads in NY city are kind of like driveing down the middle of rail road tracks on a minibike that has no suspention. Add to that haveing to tow a car on a car dolly and its just crap loads of fun. I grew up in the country and the trails and corn fields were smother and made better...

Well as of about a week ago there is now a light blue 89 turbo supra shell sitting in my driveway behind my black 87 supra. I now have a home for the 1GZ! The drive to pick it up was as nightmere as there was a slight mixup between hampton NY and easthampton NY. So it went from a 10 hour...

I would say that if that's what you want to do then go for it. How ever there are options for how to go about getting a RHD MK3. You could buy all the parts needed and mod a LHD car to be RHD. You could buy a RHD front cut and strip both the the front cut and your supra down and cut out the...

Mercedes-Benz OM642. Aluminum block 3.0L 24 valve 72 deg v6 diesel weighs 460lbs or 208kg and puts out 221hp and 400lbs tq. Apparenetly the new version for 2012 will put out 240hp and 455tq and it seams to come in a bunch of diffrent cars and trucks that are USDM...

I live in rochester NY, based on your cars plate your in PA so posabley not TO far away (I went to college in Williamsport PA). I have done the 1uz swap on my MK3 and on a friends MK2 I could probbly help you out with yours and you may be surprised on how cheep it can be done based on what...
