And since this was incorrectly stated above, the 2JZ head DOES breathe better. 2JZ > 1JZ. More displacement, better head, more advanced and capable factory ECU. The wiring isn't that big of a deal either. Just find some pinouts, and sit down with a bunch of wire, solder and heatshrink tubing...

Inline 6's are my FAVORITE configuration because it's naturally balanced and a beautiful thing, but nobody wants them anymore because they are big and heavy. It's easier to fit a V6/V8 engine with more displacement. It does sadden me that the new "Supra" won't be turbocharged because Toyota...

The images I posted are of a SUPRA, well, at least that's what Toyota calls it. I don't think convertable or V6/V8 engines are Supra material, but it looks sexy either way, like a cross between a G35 coupe and MKIV, two cars that I strongly lust after. Lexus has their own concept which is...

This is still confusing me because I'm used to only one vac line going to a wastegate, and when installing a boost controller you simply install it between the boost source and the wastegate and you're done. If I set it up intercooler piping nipple > boost controller > side port of wastegate and...

Here's your MKV Supra:

So I have this HKS 50mm wastegate, and no instructions for how to set it up. It came with 1 nipple, but the wastegate has two ports- one on top and one on the side. Which one do I run the vac line to?! And what does the other one do? Should I have two fittings? Yes, I searched, but I...

damnit... wrong section... oops :)

As has been stated over and over here, there is no shame losing to a turbo Honda. I have seen Integras on slicks with conservative setups running 12's and 11's. 200-300hp in one of those cars is INSANE from a roll, and devastating from a dig if they can grab the road. Even with my new setup...

I thought the shifter in my N/A was huge at first, but I got used to it. I might get a short shifter at some point. I just can't justify spending what some are selling them for. Collin

Finally, an update! The engine has been cleaned up a bit more, and the transmission is all bolted up. I put the 7M oil pressure sender on there so that my stock guage will work and I secured it with a little insulated bracket. I just need to swap waterpumps and refinish the valvecovers...

Me too... :( I wanted to see another one of Ron's amazing creations come to life. Collin

I've been thinking exactly the same thing... but please don't encourage me! lol I need something stock and reliable for commuting to school next semester. It may become the 2nd beast at some point in the future. :) For now, intake, maybe an exhaust, and a tasteful drop. Collin

What?? If that's in response to the matts, they came with it, and I'd rather have them protecting my carpet then throw them away to protect my image. lol

It looks like this project is being put on hold for a few more weeks as I just picked up another Supra. My truck that I have been driving is near death, and I need to get my new toy daily-driver ready before I can focus on my beast again. Oh well, it just means that once I get back to it, I'll...

:stickpoke Pics? Eh?

Hahaha! I'm not going to go crazy and kill everybody in sight if Toyota completely destroys their image that they created with the Supras as a company capable of building badass sportscars by taking all our hopes and dreams of a new Supra and beating them to death with an electric motor and...

In my oppinion it's a pile of crap. This whole obsession with hybrids is bullshit, and the only thing I will ever invest in as far as alternative energy is a cleaner burning substitute that still runs in a modern engine. These hybrids like the Prius and the Civic hybrid seem like great ideas...

One of the things I got for Christmas. :) Thank you, Alyssa! It's simple, but I like it. lol (Yes, I installed my new license plate frame on a car with expired tags and no engine... I paid the registration. I just don't have the tags yet. :D)

I don't have an engine in my car right now either... :(

Nope. Which is why my car will remain a sleeper. :D
