    need turbo suggestions

    I agree here, with supporting mods aimed at reliability mods. It would be the last turbo you would need with what you are saying so far. Should reach that goal comfortably. As far as the current turbo building boost and running real loud, DANGER! I have an example here somewhere of whats...

    an6 fuel hardlines, copper, aluminium, softlines?

    Thanks for all the help and such guys, sorry bout the long reply, I got a bunch of help here this morning and pulled my motor, got it on the stand and got carried away with installing my Driftmotion stuff. (They really are great to deal with BTW! And my order was BIG, complicated and HEAVY)...

    an6 fuel hardlines, copper, aluminium, softlines?

    I'm having a hard time finding an6 aluminium hardlines for my fuel system upgrade in anything but 4 foot brake line lengths locally. Can I use copper line, or is this a corrosion no-no? I imagine running softlines would definitely be a big no-no to replace the stock hardlines. Or does...

    4X4 supra!!! oh my god what the!!! PICS!!

    It's an abomination of gods design! And remember, GOD drives a supra! (Someone here said that I'm sure! :icon_razz) But I am absolutely positive it's not anything like this particular mutation.

    Spotted supra

    That toyota dealership is a local Calgary business, other than that I'm not sure you'll figure out who's it is. Why are you trying to find out? Just curious.

    diff whine - can thicker lube reduce noise?

    I agree with IJ, this is what I got switched to by a reputable local shop and it solved all noise issues with the rear diff for me. I always previously had this sorta howl like whine from the backend before it.

    how do i get a throwoutbearing out?

    Once upon a time a long time ago I had it all apart and couldn't get the thing out and it looked fine, but VERY shortly later I sure cursed and swore that I hadn't taken care of the damn thing when I did have it all apart anyways. I growled like a bugger until I went back in again. I did not...

    Driveshaft bolts.

    I'm doing the upgrade to a 1 piece 3" alu driveshaft and I'm wondering if you can or should re-use the bolts at the joints or if you should use new like with the flywheel bolts?

    Single turbo 1jz vs. GTR

    You really need to white balance those pics in photoshop, there a little yellow. Other than that though you really got some excellent shots there. Unfortunately I got no sound on this machine. Nice videos though. Wish there were more and longer. I like your 1j.

    Prefered street legal tire that performs for drags too?

    There is an upcoming race here locally called "King of the Street" I'm preparing for and I was wondering what performs at the drags but is still street legal. They do not allow slicks or nitrous in this competition. Anyone able to recommend a tire for me that will be nice and sticky for...

    Disappointing Dyno

    I'm scrambling to get my car all buttoned up for the upcoming race I'm registered for here on August 3,4 at Race City Speedway. It's called King of the Street. No slicks, no Nitrous. You should try to make that it'll be fun.

    Disappointing Dyno

    To the best of my knowledge they do not at this time employ any licensed mechanics. Well dude if you ever happen to be passing through Calgary they be sure to message me and we'll meetup for a coffee. Would still love to see your car.

    Disappointing Dyno

    I'm also a local Calgary guy here. I would strongly recommend taking your ride to Reg Riemer over at RCTS. The guy is strightup with his work and definitely knows what he is doing. Atleast give him a call and see what he advises. I believe Reg is away on holidays ATM and if so, see if you can...

    2jz headgasket

    It is my understanding that yes it will. I however do not have firsthand experience do this myself though. The heads can be used on ethier engine (theres ofcourse debates about it's benefits), but logically in my thinking anyways this would also indicate that the gasket should be...

    60-1 Reliability

    Yikes dude! a GT42.....that hella big. I'm just putting together a 2jz with a GT40 and the first thing is, it isn't cheap, and I'm thinking you don't have the supporting mods to go with something like that yet either (I could totally be wrong man, not trying to dis you or anything with that...

    60-1 Reliability

    LOL Long ago mine last for a decent amount of time BUT....... In the end it did fail and I mean big time. The actual shaft broke while under full boost. The aluminium was rubbing the housing so fast at that point you can see where it appears to have caught the aluminium on fire itself. Made a...

    Aem V2 - VS - Aem V1

    How much of a benefit are the new features, really, in a real world sense, am I going to miss not having them if I go for a 6860 or stinger setup. It seems that there is a pnp for the factory 2jz harness. This is from their webpage.... Series 2 EMS for Toyota Supra Race Cars! 6/1/2009...

    1jz vs lotus elise

    Isn't that the truth big time. And if he's got mild mods, like RCTS does here in town then your probably gonna be in trouble on both counts. I heard someone saying they run a toyota motor in those little road go carts?
