Yeah I feel bad. My second turbo kept crop dusting nate while we were in the stop and go traffic.

Fairy tales! :icon_mrgr

Wow that suck man. Sorry to hear it. Did you manage to pick the 7m up or did this happen before that? Speaking of 7m there was another casualty, a burgundy MKIII with an auto 7M-GE poped it's head gasket. A group of us stopped and grimjack got to use his 16 liters of water he brought just...

Imax is worth it.

Yeah probably, This thread moved so fast at first I guess he missed it.

Damn, I said I'd meet up with you if your heading down from Burlington. Guess I'm just chop liver.

I went a saw it at Imax. I really enjoyed it. I've followed the trek universe since I was a kid, starting with the original series. I feel the movie is a solid addition to the series. I think that of all the actors, Karl Urban captured the personality of his character the best, Dr. McCoy. I...

Damn I'll have to take a ride down there and take a look at it.

Great info figgie. There are a couple of things you might want to add. First, a warning should be made that Kapton wiring needs to be avoided. The insulation used on it is very poor at tolerating mechanical wear. And if used in an automotive application I'm sure vibration would cause the...

In due to interest. The level my RPM's sit at during highway cruises drives me batty. I was thinking about swapping to a 3.73 diff but this would give me more of what I'm looking for. I'm also running a 2jz with stock twins, as such the boost comes on early and it has a lot of torque down low. I...

8am works for me.

Correct. The 2JZ uses a sequential turbo system. It uses all the exhaust energy from the engine to spool one turbo in the lower end of the rpm range. Then in the 3300-3600rpm range, as the engine is producing more exhaust energy, a small amount of exhaust gas is used to pre-spool the second...

Hope not. The first turbo sounds healthy. I can hear it spool, and there is no metal on metal sound. And at the point the second turbo comes on line I don't hear the infamous death whine. And before I put the engine in I checked for shaft play, and it's well within TSRM spec. It's possible, but...

Car: 1987 Supra Stock Aristo 2JZ mated to a R154 2.5" intake pipe with DM FMIC 3" Exhaust with a 50mm restrictor plate The problem I'm dealing with is that the turbos won't push past 4.5~5 psi of pressure. The engine will turn all the way to redline without a problem, abit with a lack of...

Are you sure it didn't move? The first time I did this test I thought it wasn't moving. Then I realized that it moves ever so slightly, barely noticeable. The ISCV doesn't affect idle quality only idle speed. no matter where the ISCV sets itself the air it bypasses is still metered and...

Yeah the ls400 clutch was a solution that Driftmotion told me about. But I believe your right about that fan assy being 1jz in the pic. After looking through my receipts I did pick one of those up between all the swapping and trying to make it fit I tried several different combination's. But...

All I know is that when I used the 7M-GTE fan and 1JZ fan clutch this is the problem I ran into. To solve this I replaced the fan clutch with one from an LS400. I still used the 7M fan blade assy. This is the only combination that worked for me. P.S. how were you getting a fan clutch assy...

Strange, I used the turbo fan/clutch and it defiantly didn't work. I had to go source a different fan clutch through driftmotion. I still used my turbo fan, and bolted it to the new clutch. The Aristos water neck sticks out farther than the MKIV's 2JZ-GTE As for the brace I'm not sure how you...

He said he only bought the shell, so he still needs to get the transmission. Also the extra bracing for the R154 is only on the 7M, the 2JZ has this bracing built into the oil pan. Price of the motor really depends on mileage and if all the electronics are there. If you get a good low miles...

Ok, now I'm home. First a couple questions. Are you keeping the twins? Are you keeping A/C?
