http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?152334-Newbie-s-guide-to-Modifying-your-MK3-turbo This is a pretty good thread to read. You might also want to check out some of other the sticky under the MK3 FAQs section.

Before you buy anything from SupraStore read up on their reputation in the past two years. You'd be better off saving up and buying a longblock on the forums.

Shit, I want to go too I know my whip can make it, but I was planning on doing some major work around that time. :/

Aphxero is right about a primer being kinda pointless, because it's all common sense. Most people who own a 1JZ already know exactly what they're going put on the car and what numbers to expect roughly. I will say though that I've read primers previously on the 7M-GTE and 3S-GTE have all...

no problem man

Nasty, you're going to try to make all the way down to Texas? You're at least a couple thousand miles away right? ---------- Post added January 2nd, 2011 at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was January 1st, 2011 at 11:57 PM ---------- Btw, when is TX2K11? I might mark the calender for it...

Yeah, I saw that you got one in the other thread. Hopefully you have pretty good luck fixing the wastegate issues, because it doesn't seem like a bad turbo other than being a knockoff.

Very true on the you get what you pay for. I might consider buying either the JT62 or JT66 Someone else was recently talking about having problems with a Turbonetics failing right off bat too. Seems like their overall reputation isn't that bad though. Anyone have much experence dealing...

Well, I know this has already been covered previously, but I'm currently in the middle of a full rebuild and just found out that "Project Save a Ho" has a trashed turbo (not surpised) along with everything else on the car for that matter. This car really should be in a salvage yard somewhere...

+1 Most of those JDM 7Ms will be in horrible shape. The pricing isn't all that great either IMHO. I'd either find a short block that's in halfway decent shape that you can rebuild, or go with a already built motor in the for sale section. I recently opted to rebuild my motor and it's...

Well, you did drive my car with the 57trim for at least a few pulls. Your car on the other hand wasn't running at the time. lol 4k is about what I would've guessed for full boost. What's going on with your standalone?

Last time I drove the car I could hit about 10psi w/ a 57trim CT26 and be under boost cut. I should be going Stinger this spring though. I wonder if anyone has ever though about doing a primer for 1JZ-GTE..

How was that install on the 60-1? I'm assuming you w/ Big Aaron's kit and I've been wondering about the "custom mid pipe" he mentions on his website. How is the spool up in comparasion to what I'm running now, you make full boost at like 4k or something? I'm debating on what I need to buy...

Right now I should be good on OEM rotors, I probably won't be doing too much spirted driving. Those slotted rotor would've been a waste probably.. When the time is right I might get a Cobra brake kit or something decent. I'm w/ the Rakkasans. You should see me around then, because I'm...

If that's the case and they allow Upgraded CT26s on the 7M then they should allow it on the 1JZ since half our twins are smoking anyway... Just sayin.

If you look at Mobes build thread his AEM Uego had the back melt before it was even installed... wtf

Yeah it could be, but after I read through all the post last night these wastegate issues sound like a royal pain in the ass. 411rwhp @ 16psi isn't bad though, especially if paradox616 was having issues. If CX racing fixes the known issues/quirks then I might even use my 1JZ w/ a Stinger as...

lol My whole thing is my 57trim isn't stock, but it's also not a aftermarket turbo like a Garrett or SP... and it still has that restrictive ass housing on it. So it's stock in the sense that it came in the car, but it's still upgraded. I just figure "upgraded stock turbo" would be the...

I'd have to say that having an upgraded CT26 and then calling it a stock turbo would be like me saying my 7M-GTE w .020 over pistons and forged is stock. because the MA70 comes with a 7M-GTE stock. For all intensive purposes I just say it's an upgraded stock turbo, because it's huge...

I think I might try the innovate digital wideband next and maybe the boost controller. Or at least the AEM analog products I used the AEM digital boost guage and wideband, and all that Fing flashing made me want to punch babies. I don't think Supra1008 was very impressed w/ my setup either.
