    that age old debate (swapping twins for single).. but with an asterisk.

    Cool, it is an Estima. It had blood all over the rear hatch area, the hot/cold box worked and it was supercharged. You would think being in Japan there would be hella options on twin upgrades. If you find options let me know. One of the reasons I went 1j is because I have to chase my buddies...

    that age old debate (swapping twins for single).. but with an asterisk.

    I bought stock twins to hold me over while I get bad stockers up graded. Me personally I would wait till I got to Japan before dumping any major money stateside. You will regret every dollar spent here when you see what they have to offer. Keep me posted on your decision. I want to retain the...

    Anyone think of a good reason the 1j wasn't put in USDM Supras?

    ^ I agree,I think that the problems of the 7m were something that happened over time/ with use.

    Anyone think of a good reason the 1j wasn't put in USDM Supras?

    Capacitors in the JZA70 ecu , the ones that Aaron replaces. I was referring to this "the lack of proven computer technology in automotive applications sixpatch" Poodles, I agree with 99% of what you wrote. With the exception of the warranty issue. You are right they would not have recalled...

    Anyone think of a good reason the 1j wasn't put in USDM Supras?

    I don't think the head-gaskets would have failed that soon on stock boost settings. There would have been a recall. The first 7mgte was in the 87 model, The head-gaskets would have started to go by 92. I don't think the Supra would have sold in the numbers it did. I think the common problems...

    PS pump rebuild

    I was wondering how many people have bothered to rebuild their jz power steering pump? Mine is taking a shit and thought about rebuilding it. Any one have any input on this? I might just go get a new one if it is too much of a PITA.

    Anyone think of a good reason the 1j wasn't put in USDM Supras?

    Another thing that may have happened is that Toyota discontinued the production of the G and M series motors in favor of the JZ series and had to " purge " the lines of the remaining 7m's and 1g's. Hence the continuation of the 7m in the foreign market while the closer home market got the new...

    Anyone think of a good reason the 1j wasn't put in USDM Supras?

    Because the 1JZ wasn't offered in the a70 chassis until 1990. Maybe Toyota didn't think that it was worth it to make it Federal ( not State) EPA compliant considering the coming model change. Seems like a lot of extra effort for two years of sales. Juice didn't match the squeeze.

    You might be a 1J owner if.....

    You are planning on using you spare 7m block as a planter in the yard.
