    I'm just not happy with my Supra so far..

    How many miles on it? have you ever done a comp test or anything? Me and my brother have identical cars when I first got mine completely stock with 35k on a stock rebuilt motor running 4-5psi would keep up with him. He has 3in turbo back, apexi power intake, 2.5 lipp pipes+ hks ssq at 9psi but...

    SLOW 7M'S Build with lots of custom parts.

    Iv been there, last winter when i was putting my car back together we had a cold spell. I have a wood stove in my shop but being 40x60 and not fully insulated it can only raise the temp about 20 degrees. we had a few weeks in the -15 to -25 range. 0 degrees + cold parts that you cant work on...

    My 4 Door Supra Build

    you were building your own serial cable. Seems liks it getting harder to find stuff to build your own these days.

    poly subframe bushings

    Ian you know you just like the attention you get everytime someone calls you 1J :sarcasm: maybe just put the last tq you dynoed at under your name and they will stop! Edit: on second though, then you would have every person on the forum asking you how they can get their 1J to put out like that.

    My 4 Door Supra Build

    Looking good, more pics of your engine and valve covers:naughty: And where did you get everthing to build your serial? Seems like its harder to find that stuff than it used to be.

    How can I avoid runing rich with a dump valve ?

    Ok running the stock bypass valve with an additional aftermarket bov vented to atmosphere wont solve this problem at all. Running a recirculated aftermarket bov by itself or with the stock one however would. basically run recirculated or go speed density.

    IIRC the Trd strut brace is actually the one for the MKIV adapted for the MKIII

    Power gains from Meth/Water injection?

    I wouldn't think think that running a standard 50/50 water meth mix would richen your tune all that much. An ideal tune is 12-12.5:1, most shoot for 11-11.5:1 just to be safe so I would think that you could tune for 12-12.5 and the WI would bring you back down around 11-11.5. This way even if...

    Cage is finshed and the chassis work is almost done.

    Miller probably build a stout little 110. Iv never been impressed with any of the 110s I used but then again they were all pretty low end.

    Power gains from Meth/Water injection?

    Other than the tune adjustment required there is no downside to meth/water injection. Lowers temps and cleans your engine everytime it kicks in. You will see a HP increase in the fact that you can push a few more degrees of timing and its cooling agent, giving you a much lower incoming air temp...

    Bluechulappa's 89Turbo restoration

    Ya they are pricey locally but once you have the kit if you ever need more coils they are cheap, I'm surprised you only had one that was stripped. Definitely a good thing to have if you plan on working on 7Ms

    who here stands by the 7m and have 350+ hp reliably

    He meant that the only reason people only want the 1J because it didnt come factory here and thus is "ultra rare JDM" As for the 2J, 2J>>>..........1J Im still a die hard 7M fan though but if I ever went with something else definitely 2J or 1UZ

    who here stands by the 7m and have 350+ hp reliably

    Yep,you only get to pick two. Ill take my 7Ms torque any day, that's what separates us from evos, hondas and subies

    quistion 7k rpm's

    stiffer valve springs definitely, a blueprinted and balanced bottom end would definitely be nice. The stock motor will hold a lot of ponies but the question is how long do you want it to last. Your already pushing a lot, like stated 500 is just a number

    Arias Pistons

    I dont think I'v ever heard of anyone run the 7M versions, but I know several people who have run them in their 2Js with no problems. I think there are a few heavy hitters out there running them as well, I cant remember who off the top of my head. Woon runs CP's I believe, but there are a few up...
