    the new supra

    Actually, it will probably have less "clearance" issues than the V12. . . the V12 is DOHC i.e. wide . . . push rod motors are awesome by way of overall size. Why do you think Chevy went from pushrod to DOHC back to push rod? Weight/Size and of course the capacity for old skool tuners to buy...

    1JZ Pistons

    lol, you're spot on with all that. 3GSTE are "apparently" though .. . it's also my friends last ditch plan. I will remind him that he could just use 2J pistons. Since none of this has to do with me and I am relaying said info, may I ask what CP would 2J pistons yield in a 1J block? Cheers, Jago

    1JZ Pistons

    I have a friend that was trying to use 2J piston rings. This is what he found . . . He said that only one ring fit or something. All I know is that they don't fit and you should not open your 1J unless it is absolutely necessary cuz 1J piston rings are super hard to come by . .. werd Cheers...

    Cam gear wear: How much is too much?

    I just posted feedback on SF and filed dispute then escalated to a claim with PP. I hate disputes. . . they take forever. And he's probably gonna be a pain and just let it ride until the 30 days are up. [edit] I thought bout it right quick. My CC company will work a lot faster. I'll call...

    Cam gear wear: How much is too much?

    I am guessing it is normal to wear down cuz they are alloy not steel, but I am just curious as how much is slipping much. lagged you are indeed smokin way more one should. If they are worn too much, I will just toss them on ebay at what I paid. Someone with genuine experiential knowledge...

    Cam gear wear: How much is too much?

    Yup HKS. I'd think it's cuz they are aluminum that they wear like this the stock ones would probably be the same millions of miles later. So does anyone have input as to whether this is a no go via belt slipping on the teeth???

    Cam gear wear: How much is too much?

    I picked these up right quick of SF. I am not sure if it is excessive to the point that the timing belt would slip. I am kind of annoyed, but it was an impulse buy so I had it coming I guess. Now I know why they only show the front and back in all the 4 sale threads I have ever seen. Thanks...

    I need experienced (& smart) people here

    Thanks I had forgotten that I posted here about this. Someone else gave me the rundown and told me it would rattle like crazy. He has a ORC super single and I've seen a vid of his car. Everyone always asks if his car is broken. The pedal feel thing, I got the little HKS slave cylinder rod...

    I need experienced (& smart) people here

    Okay, after 900 years, a claim, 20+ emails, and finally realizing that they just might be out $1K, RHDjapan.com started trying to explain why they say "it'll work". That phrase so untrustworthy from companies that I just could never install a ghetto rigged clutch in my car and cross my fingers...

    !!!!!!!!!!SPEC twin disk clutch kit!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I just got off the phone with Justin over at Spec. He couldn't give me a definite date for when it is coming out but it's first coming for the 7MGTE/R154 then the 1JZ/R154. He actually clarified that the 7M flywheel is actually thinner than the 1JZ. Other than that the FW and cltuch assemblies...

    What's the deal with USDM 550's?

    okEdokE, I did some googling on DIY injector cleaning . . . no such thing. Shops like RC or wherever use a chemical solution with ultrasonic whatever. The ultrasonic junk does most of the cleaning. I have seen this on MonsterGarage or something .. . cept it was for tools. So I am concluding...

    What's the deal with USDM 550's?

    I just purchased a set of USDM 550s from a 1993 TT . .. I still need to wire up the swap so I can send these out for research sake .. . BTW is there a way to clean them myself cuz RC wants 150 for the testing .. . That's not a lot but it's a lot . . . know what I'm saying. I just don't want to...

    Aftermarket injectors

    Okay, I've done some research and despite them being ifish 550s USDMs are what I am going with. big high imp injectors sounds sloppy rich. I'll just have them tested and what not. I am only shooting for something between 400-500 hp on a T60-1 w/.58 housing on a cast mani. So I think that I...
