    Cylinder heads.

    Awesome. I now feel confident enough to buy the crower springs and retainers... Just wondering though, how hard would it be for my machine shop to make the 2jz valves work on the 1jz head?

    Cylinder heads.

    Good to know. So i guess ill just be leaving the stock valves in, but i plan to buy this spring/retainer kit.. Will this one work? Is it the same one you have? http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/price/Toyota/MKIV_Supra/Brian_Crower/Engine/Valve_Springs_and_Retainers

    I asked him the same thing out of curiosity with no response, But from my knowledge, 50-65 sq ft will be plenty to sound deaden the car (and add about 20lbs).... You can get that for like $115 shipped from ED So whats the progress update man! You seem to be slacking, or keeping this thread...

    Let me see your trunks!

    Yes, he has just paired up with Fi audio... Which is good for Fi. The Re's are still some of the best subs in the world IMHO. Nothing i have ever heard has has as deep a bottom end as RE's. And im comparing with my SE's... I do plan to save up for a single MX though, so we will see whos on...

    Massive components mounted

    Pics i finally took of just how tight the clearence is of my mids from the door panels... There is about 2mm of space between the surround and the door panel. Eventually i will shave more of the door panel to give the surround more clearance. The are rated at 14mm peak to peak excursion, so...

    Found these subs in my basement, any good?

    Decent but old and probably a low power handling, so be careful with how much you throw at them... None the less they should fill in all the low end you could want.

    Cylinder heads.

    Really? I thought i remember reading a post somewhere, that i cant seem to find again, that the valves were a different diameter, and the stems were too long. So i could buy some fancy titanium springs and retainers, and even some valves and they would just drop right in with no hitch?

    91 Factory Amp Integration Harness

    To my knowledge there is no factory amp integration harness. One is not needed for going after market, so there is not one readily available on the market. I will be posting soon a wiring lay out for both the audio, and ignition for us to use for installing alarms, remote start, stereos and...

    Cylinder heads.

    They do? So i can get some nicer ones for the 2jz and just use them in the 1jz head? What about retainers and valves?

    Cylinder heads.

    So i have searched and searched, and cannot for the life of me find any upgraded parts for the 1JZ heads. I was hoping to find some better springs and retainers, or the titanium sort, but i simply cannot find them any where! Nor can i fin stock replacements. Im pretty sure the 2JZ springs...

    Need help with 1.5jz build

    I believe thats the sound deadening i recommended him to use. Its made by Elemental designs. This stuff is very effective and half the price of the infamous Dynamat! I have used it in a few cars and just got done lining my doors with it. They make a few kinds of sound deadening, I use the...

    How much oil for the 1JZ?

    Why, because my father was a supervisor of 4 laboratories that specialized in lubrication analysis for industrial and commercial companies. They also tested coal and coke quality for US Steel in Pittsburgh PA. They also did quality testing for the SAE... They tested all types of oil to see what...

    Help with bass.

    As stated above, you wont be using the factory wiring if you use an external amp... Sorta. You would plug the harness up to the bcak of the radio, except the 2 front speakers which would be amped you would cut those wires at the back of the radio, then extend the wires to the amp for the...
