    please help .. my heat issue is crazy

    You can get a new clutch and fan from an outside the dealer and the shroud directly from the dealer. I only have the fan on my car. The 10 blade I had before broke when I went over a speed bump too fast with broken engine mounts and it hit the shroud and they both went. Im supposed to check...

    please help .. my heat issue is crazy

    The blade and clutch are available outside the dealer and the shroud from the dealer, I paid roughly 30KD for the shroud but had to modify it because of the front facing intake manifold so the holes for the stock a/c fans have to be trimmed up. I have a contact in fahaheel that can get a fan...

    please help .. my heat issue is crazy

    Don't run electric fans. Go with the fan clutch setup with a mkiii fan and a radiator shroud. I am currently running the landcruiser pick-up clutch and mkiii non turbo plastic fan with shroud and it works great. Don't remove the undertray. It helps direct the flow of air while the car is moving...

    Aftermarket bumper that looks good?

    That gray one looks good. If I put that lip on over here it would get crushed on the first speed bump. The Supra MKIII Spec-A Rear Add-ons would almost hide my DM exhaust.

    please help .. my heat issue is crazy

    The turbos really heat up the coolant when under boost and electric fans in Kuwait don't work too well. You should go with the clutch fan and blade setup with a shroud and go with a regular thermostat and not run the racing one. I have a summer clutch from a landcruiser pickup and in winter put...

    My last and final attempt at ice cold AC...Lots of pictures

    I plan on having mine up to par when I ship my Supra to Phoenix from Kuwait when I finally leave here. Denso makes one that all the retailers say is paralell flow part number NP4770145 but Id want that verified before shipping here. I'm running a piccolo tube from a later model toyota that the...

    Adjust Clutch Pedal freeplay?

    If only the TSRM was 2 pages: page 1 - Lefty Loosey page 2 - Righty Tighty Whats wrong with the pedal now? You can see which way the pedal goes when you move the rod, then tighten the nut. As the clutch wears the pedal will drop over time and will have to be adjusted back out to about 1/3...

    IC piping

    Yeah the metal rubbed through it, I should probably put a grommet there instead of the rag I stuffed in it for the new coupler hose.

    IC piping

    Just thought Id share a photo of one of my couplers. This one was mounted where the hole is for the stock airbox. I still had decent boost even with the hole.

    1jzgte 89 supra swap woes (Leaking FPR and no dash illumination)

    First: Make sure the crush washers are the right size without slop and torque them with a torque wrench to tsrm specs and make sure the banjo bolt isn't scarred up where the crush washers seat. Might want to put a new one on just in case. Second: dash lights are chassis, not swap wires. Make...

    Bouncy Speedometer Needle?

    Things you can check are the short cable coming out of the speedo gear housing on the transmission. The gear itself,if they are slightly worn it can cause a bounce. You will have to get under the car though and make sure the front of the car is higher or you could have tranny oil pouring out of...

    1JZ Thermostat modification for cooling

    Get a larger radiator first, then if you need more, ditch the e-fans and go mechanical and lastly don't try to modify the thermostat by drilling on it. Read this article for another idea but be aware there have been issues with the redline if you google it...

    Air induction question

    There is a stock replacement by k&n that I tried for about a year. I had a power steering leak which separated the base so it didn't seat properly after that. Then I went to a conical filter with a Universal adapter that mounts to the front of the afm. That combined with the pacesetter headers...

    Lost another shroud today

    Speed bumps have no reasoning here, there are none on the expressways where the limit is 120 kph, the road I was on the speed limit is 80kph and its a backroad to a main road that has a speed limit of also 80kph. They usually put them before traffic circles. The road I go to work on where the...

    Lost another shroud today

    Yeah I saw them too late, they were not painted and I tried braking quickly but still went about 35-40 mph over them. I had the notor mounts checked today and they are both broken. Dealer said they will have them on Saturday.

    The HG thang

    Damn, that means you didn't get the cool ARP sticker. Before I went 1J I went through several 7MGE's all because of HG problems. The last one I put in lasted over 2 years after re-torquing to 72 foot pounds then it got thrown out after the 1J swap.

    Lost another shroud today

    I flew over two speed bumps today and the fan hit the shroud, broke two blades off the fan so I spent about 20 minutes pulling the shroud off in little pieces and had to drive to work with an unbalanced fan. While at work I used a hacksaw to take off the opposing two blades and balance was...

    1JZ-GTE VVTi BOV Mod

    Its just the typical factory design there to open the wastegate and probably didn't count on aftermarket mods. I have a small stock outlet just in front of the throttle body that has a restictor after about 3 inches of hose so Ill T in there and give it a try.
