I used to own a 7th Gen Celica. It was an auto GT-S. It was my first car and I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, until I found out there wasn't much in the way of mods for it(at the time). Unfortunatly I put it in a ditch which resulted in it being written off, which allowed...

I've been to DM's site to check their upgraded CT-26 out. I realize the setup could push 400whp, but is it reliable at that level of power? I don't want to buy the setup, then have it blow up on me a week later.

Well, I'd like to know how well the upgraded ct-26 would perform on the the 1J. One of my twins just went and I'm looking for a decent replacement.

Oddly enough, I haven't gotten pulled over in my Supra since I got it. :naughty: Even though I still drive quite "spiritedly". But l lost my licence for 2 months driving my Celica for getting two speeding tickets in a year. :3d_frown: Best one ever I was doing 170 in a 90 zone in my...

I used to miss my first car, still do when I think about it. It was a 2000 Celica GT-S. Shed a tear when I said goodbye to that one. Unfortunately I'm the reason it was written off. Going 120 around a 40 corner on a frosty road with performance rain tires on = going over an 8ft concrete wall...

What would I do? I would do one or both of these two things: 1) Get all their info, call the police, call ICBC, Call work and tell them I'll be late. 2) Get enough money to repair the damage + a little(or a lot) extra. Plan C) If the person who hit my car aggravates me to the point of...

Once in a blue moon, I go to Wal-Mart, when I do, I park exactly how I park in every other parking lot that happens to be graced by my car: Miles away from everyone and any entrances/exits. And for some reason, I don't usually get some beater parking next to me. In fact, if I park near a group...

Nice work, good to see a TTR buildup. :icon_bigg

That's awesome man.:love: I'm building up my 1JZ-GTE TTR this summer. One day I'll put a JDM 2JZ-GTE in it but cash flow is an issue. Thanks for posting a build thread, really appreciate it.

A locked up turbo eh? Can't say I've ever heard of that. Is there a symptom of this? Or is it "hmm, maybe I'll see if one of my turbos is locked up today." Other than lack of boost? I've got stock twins on my 1JZ so idk if on seizing up would make a huge difference in power delivery.

So that's four people only? Anyone else?

I think I'll be able to make it, which Red Robin? I'm not so familiar with Surrey.

No, it doesn't make a sound like that. It makes a loud hissing sound which I believe is a boost leak, and I can hear a semi-rhythmic squeak coming from the turbo housing. I noticed more white exhaust than usual out the tailpipe, just smells like exhaust though, would it smell any different if...

Sorry for the confusion, I was pretty tired at the time of writing. I was just wondering if there was any indication of imminent turbo failure I could check or watch for. But since I have white smoke, I'll check my coolant system and watch my turbos for oil. Thanks for your help.

My question is,"How do I tell if one or both of my turbos are about to die(preferably without taking them off and checking shaft play)?". I have a JDM TTR with stock twins. I noticed an irregular squeak from the turbo housing the other day. The car still runs fine and the turbos still kick in...

Hey, I don't mind the rims, but I plan on getting a better set once I get the $$$. And I don't mind the stickers(much). They're coming off soon though I think, I just wanted to get a full documentation of the car before I do modifications of my own.

Wish I woulda read your thread earlier. I had my dash apart a few weeks ago. :3d_frown: Ah well, one of the lights in my gauge cluster went out so I've gotta rip it apart again, I can document the process with pics. Should mention I've got a JDM 1JZ-GTE so it's gonna be different. I'll start as...

The car has a few mods. Project Mu vented rotors on all four corners, stock calipers + pads. Braided stainless brake lines. 17" Rays Engineering staggered rims. Cusco adjustable suspension all the way around. Torsen limited slip differential. Front strut brace. SARD air intake. 3" turbo-back...

I am a proud owner of a 1990 JDM Twin Turbo R Toyota Supra that I purchased in December. I live In BC, Canada and I'm looking forward to finding out as much as I can about my car.:biglaugh:
