    OS Geiken 6 spd Tranny for mk3

    No, he is correct. If you look at the picture, you will see that there is an adapter plate on the motor and also, note that the start is on the wrong side for a 7M, 1JZ, and 2JZ. All three engines have the starter on the left side of the block under the intake manifold, where ase nissan RB...

    making an invention, reality?

    Kinda off topic, but being that it has been talked about in this thread, Pressure sen. brake lights have been around for years. Most every car build up until the 70's used a pressure activation switch to turn on the brake lights.

    Coilpack Electrical Question

    Does the meter that you used "auto range"? if not, are you sure that you didn't have the meter on "K-ohms"? If the reads are really that low then that would mean that you have a short in the coil windings.

    Headlight Conversion

    Whos kit is that (make/vendor)? Kinda funny at the first quick glance of the first pic, I actually for one second thought that it was a Porsche 928.

    CT26 compared to other turbo's...

    The GT28RS (truely called GT2860RS) is what is known as the "disco Potato" and is way to small for the for a 3liter motor. A pair of them would be good for a 3liter, but not one. That trubo is only good for a max of 360HP (flywheel) and at that point it is in very poor efficiency range. Now the...

    Not to mention that the check could bounce (rubber checks, got to love them). ;)

    7M-GE vs 7M-GTE

    I agree, but at the same time disagree. Had he not posted, he would still be under the wrong impression, so he knows the truth now, but at that same time if others that do know the truth had not seen it then someone else might be under that same wrong understanding. So I guess that its a win/win...

    Larger Brake Master Cylinder options- 95 4Runner w/ABS?

    It all depends on how its sized.. If sized correctly, then no it wouldn't. Once I finally get around to finnishing my rear setup, I will then have 6pot on the front and 4pot on the back and with a stock M/C, will still have a better feel and stiffer peddle.

    7M-GE vs 7M-GTE

    Get another GE and then do a N/A-T conversion later on. That way you can get the car running ASAP as you stated that you needed.

    Larger Brake Master Cylinder options- 95 4Runner w/ABS?

    Adam, you do have a point. I guess that i should have added that it depends on the piston area relationship between original piston area and new piston area. Sorry, after spending almost three years design brake kits to work properly with all stock equipment besides the components being replaced...

    1UZ into my MKIII

    Yeah, I have though about doing that. I actually did a CAD drawing a while back for the adapter for the W series tranny's, but the HD in the computer that it was on took a shit and I didn't have it backed up on anything. (I learned my lession after that one. everything gets backed-up on disc...

    Larger Brake Master Cylinder options- 95 4Runner w/ABS?

    There is no need to go to a lager bore master cylinder. For one, doing so will lower the pressure output for the same given peddle effort and therefor you will have to push harder to equal the same M/C output pressure, secondly, the stock master cylinder will displace more then enough volume for...

    Gearing vs turbo

    Gearing and shift points go hand in hand. The whole point is to keep the engine in its highest average torque area and the car will accelerate the fastest that it possibly can. This is why there are programs out there (mainly used for drag vehicals) that calculate optimum shift points based on...

    1UZ into my MKIII

    Im not sure, but I dont see why not. I will talk to him and see if he might be willing to. If nut, maybe I'll look into doing a CAD drawing for at least the spacer if anything that way it would allow for the direct bolt up of the R154 trans. The only real problem that I can see is that the only...

    Is a 1JZ-GTE U.S legal?

    True to an extent. Safety and Emissions requierments are federally controlled. A state can add more regulations, but still have to meet the minimum federal requierments. Yes Florida is very leanient in making sure that the vehicle meets federal standards, but you can still get in to trouble if...

    1UZ into my MKIII

    Yes the 1uz and 2uz and 3uz (all UZ engines) have the same bellhousing battern on the block. There are only IIRC 3 different bellhousing that toyota has made that have the V8 UZ bolt patteren There is a U1, a U2, and a truck version of the U1. The U1 and U2 are pretty much identical except...

    1UZ into my MKIII

    The only company that I know that makes an adapter that is basically what you are saying is THOR Racing in Great Britian and its a rip-off cause of the exchange rate. Its £250.00 (pounds) which is about $500 US. They also have a whole kit which is £1200.00 which is like $2300 US. If it wasn't...
