    Awesome thanks!! OK so, you can't mix brand A hoses with Brand B fittings, but you CAN mix Brand B fittings to Brand A, C, D fittings of the same AN size. Drawring diagrams makes this so much easier LOL. Now I just need to figure out the fittings needed to adapt to AN for the fuel lines and...

    OK peeps. I have decided to undertake the challenge of figuring out what AN fittings and hoses I need for all the oil lines, fuel lines and turbo oil lines. The only reason I chose not to go with premade lines from driftmotion is because it would be cheaper to but the fittings and hoses and...

    Supra Vs Supra (7M vs 1JZ) RESULTS IN VIDEO Pg.21 Post #209

    NICE!! I'm still trying to wrap my head around how the 7M has a quicker 1/4 mile than the 1J, but a slower speed crossing the line? Torque?

    88 Blue Turbo restoration/upgrade story

    Man that is such a shame lol. well tbh, mine said neither 6M or 7M. It had A7 stamped on one of the weights with a U on another weight... Derek concluded that my JDM 7M must have come from a Soarer. Not sure which year soarers had 7M's so if anyone can confirm this? IF this is the case, then I...
