1990 auto 7M-GTE with full turbo-back exhaust and intake 150mph. The road wasn't perfectly straight and the suspension felt a little soggy in the bushings so I back off pretty quick. It didn't have much trouble getting there and seemed like it would keep going. My 88 N/A 5spd beat my buddy's...

My bad then.

Looking at the pic, it sure looks like med. gray. I'm pretty sure that the dark gray would be shadow gray and that his interior definately is not. :)

EGT probe came loose... Now I have to pull everything else apart again and come up with another way to stick it in there... Updates in a week or so. Collin

Update!! I work too much... so I've finally got it almost back together. I'll be starting it in the morning and checking for any leaks. If it's all good now, then I'll be done. Also, a note: DO NOT USE FREEZE PLUGS TO FILL THE HOLES IN THE Y-PIPE! Mine blew back out, so I took a piece of...

Let's see... I think I've punk'd every 240 that has ever tried to race me, and I've ripped them new assholes through the local canyon. Sure, I had a singled 2JZ, but my car is otherwise stock. I was still on the stock suspension! My big fat ass MKIII has some extra weight, sure, but it helps the...

True, I was assuming large turbos. Two small ones would make for an amazing powerband.

You're right, but imo low gearing, a TH trans, and slicks aren't street car items. I like nice transmissions. The TH400 does one thing well, and that's putting power to the ground. I don't like driving around with them, especially with the high stall converter you'd be using. Again, that's just...

viper92086, I was just admiring your photos on the last page and how hot your car looks on the track... I'm slightly biased, however, because that's what I'm setting my car up for and that's very similar to how I want mine to look, only white. :) Nice work! Collin

UZ swaps are all fun and stuff, but LSX engines belong in nissans and RX7's where you can't get a good engine that drops right in. ;) (Teasing! Mazda and Nissan make some badass engines, but imo JZ/LSX>RB>SR20) However, now that I have my 2JZ in my MKIII, I can't think of any other engine I'd...

I agree. Twins with all the stock plumbing, heat shields, and other factory stuff look very clean, high-tech, and sophisticated, which is neat because so was the MKIII in it's age. They just seem to fit well together. Single setups seem to always have one or two points that are obviously not...

With a +25 on those 17x9 rears, 155 might be a little too wide, but I could be mistaken. :dunno:

Thanks! But, when have you seen JZ twins on a 7M? Link? Yes, much more simple than the stock sequential twin-turbo setup. I just hope that doesn't kill me when I get the visual inspection done. As far as I know, the smog guys only check for emissions vacuum routing and as long as the rest...

Used a shorter stud laying around that wouldn't interfere with the EGT probe: Custom hard line to the rear turbo wastegate. It's ugly, but it gets the job done. You won't be able to see it when I'm done anyways. Heat shield installed, freshly mainted with new hardware that won't...

Pics time! Broke the stupid tap off in the exhaust manifold and spent 2 hours grinding it out... :icon_evil JB-WELD is awesome! Beginning the swap: T04R still installed. No more T04R. It's so dirty! :( The oil return line was leaking, so I have...

Thanks, man. It means a lot! Well, the new setup is 95% complete. I need to fab one IC pipe and get a 14" section of exhaust made up to complete the downpipe. I won't be able to work on it tomorrow, but it should be back on the road Monday. Pics of the swap to come! Collin

Fired it up with the new turbos, no leaks and no smoke... Hopefully back on the road next week? Collin

Is that the carfashion lip?

Your car looks how I want mine to look once repainted (pearl white 1991 w/ a pre-89 front bumper and lip, and I just got some DEPO clear corners too. :)) Can we get some more pics? Collin

Still working on the plumbing... The clown who pulled these turbos before I bought them seriously jacked up the front turbo oil feed line, and it took literally hours of fussing with test fittings and bending before getting the banjo bolt to line up and thread into the block. Now that I'm past...
