I had a Mazdaspeed3 GT. It was a monster on the freeway. Lots of torque. Never lets up all the way to 150mph. Slap a few common mods on it like dp/intake/exh/bov etc... and they can easily hang with a 350-400hp Supra because they only weight 3000 lbs. I haven't noticed anything strange in...

I had the same setup with stock fuel and had no issues at all. (with one small exception... the HKS DP attached to the elbow... so this would be a 'slight' increase because this downpipe eliminates the elbow)

Ok so I've never heard of Driftmotion. I've been out of the game for so long that.. in returning, I feel like a kid in a candy store! I'm just sifting through all the goodies that Driftmotion has to offer for our cars, and it seems that you can get a full turbo back 3 inch system that eliminates...

So is this Driftmotion pipe 'better' than the Mirage one on Ebay? The Mirage one looks very high quality from the high res pics. How can it leak or not fit. Looks like they made it very well. By the way... is it a real problem to have the flex point at that part of the pipe?

Interesting. Yah I just checked out there site. Looks like they run the wastegate pipe straight into the open. They also offer one like this Mirage design but it's like $400! Personally, I don't like the way it sounds running straight into the atmosphere. I want to be able to take my Supra on...

So why pay $300 for HKS or Tanabe when these are so much less? Am I missing something? Also, what's best to hook up to a stock CT-26 setup? I ran the HKS 3" and it worked beautifully. What's the story with this one with the twin entry divorced wastegate type? Mirage 3" DP - $225 shipped - Ebay

I am looking for German Castrol and it looks like my local Autozone carries it. But I only see 0w30. Is that the only variety it comes in? Also, it's named "Castrol Syntec" right? Sorry if these seem like super noob questions. I just want to make sure I get the right oil. If 0w30 is the only...

I see. He was referring to 1J. Got it.

You can lay down 700whp with only 12psi? I thought you had to be up around 20+psi to put out that kind of power, even with a gorilla sized turbo.

This is so cool. See, back in 1998, internet was just beginning. CJ has his Supra page up. There was 'some' info out there, but truly, it was very limilted. SOGI was already formed, but I didn't find all of that until almost 6 months after driving around a stock Supra. Now, it's a whole...

Nice comments Dylan... I guess I'll just have to go to a big Supra meet and ride in all varieties! I would love to see what it feels like to drive a properly biult 1J. Hey what's with the front clips? I don't know what that is. Sounds like a certain piece that you must have in order to swap...

Yah I suppose the 1J might not make for a very good dragstrip Supra but it could do well in real life street races on the highway. Looks the the trap speed figures are pretty high for the associated times, further indicating that the 1J is mostly top end. Very interesting. Since I would be...

Says it feels like stock clutch but can handle 520 lb/ft of torque. That sounds really great. And look at the price $430?? that's what I paid for my TRD clutch kit back in 1999! I would expect it to be more expensive by now...

1. 1988 Nissan 300ZX 2+2 Non Turbo - 5spd, Ruby Red - Nicest around 2. 1987 Nissan Sentra - 5spd - Full show car with over $12K invested. $3500 paint, $1200 Recaros, $800 Cust sheep skins, $1000 9 speaker stereo, $2000 rims. Slowest car ever but super trick. 3. 1986 Nissan 300ZX 2+2 - 5 spd...

where did you get the idea that this is an argument? I have read every comment in here. I haven't seen a single argument. only opinions. Me thinks you are reading through glasses of your own special tint. could be you csr. oh and none of the examples you gave are arguments either. >>...

Now see this is a great point. I know this, of course, but I forget sometimes to remember that. While 1J is pulling to reach peak, the 7M or 2J is already pulling away because of the immediate power available. What about the fact that many 1J Supras have cleared the 1/4 mile in 11 secs easy...

So although San Diego is no Phoenix, we still see temps north of 100 every summer, and rarely see below 45F at any time of year. I have never checked into Amsoil's prices, but I don't particularly feel the need to lay down my money for a companies percevied image value when another company has a...

Some really great points made here. Several people have asked how much horsepower I'm looking for. Well, it depends. That's not really what I was after here with this thread, although knowing the possibilities of each setup is valuable. With my previous Supra, I only had 5 "power performance"...

I think you misunderstood me Nick. I was throwing out a completely random possible story (I suppose estimated guess) of what someone building a 7M might spend to achieve 500HP. And then saying that they would argue that if it costs just as much to get a stock 1JZ for that price that only makes...

wow so lots of love for the 2J swap, some love for building the 7M, and no love for the 1J yet! any 1j-ers out there that stand behind their decision to go 2.5 and willing to lay down some reasons why?
