    1jzgte Vs 2jzgte (aristp)

    One more thing that was not mentioned so far is the fan. You will need a complete hydrofan setup, or electric fans which also adds to the cost and time. Or you could use a mechanical fan but you would have to purchase a fan, pulley and clutch. I probably came off sounding too negative so I...

    Air in cooling system

    You would have to drop the front crossmember, but even then you are working upside down with oil dripping all over. If you want to pull the pan, and you are not working at a shop with a lift and lots of air tools, pulling the engine is really the easier way to go in the end.

    1jzgte Vs 2jzgte (aristp)

    Soarer IS mid sump. I wouldn't call rev limits or sequential boosting "bs i've read". Drive my 1jz mk3 and then drive a 2jz mk3 and you will know exactly what i'm talking about. Who it beating up on the difference? The real issue is when people get all hurt about someone pointing out the...

    Exhaust manifold stud upgrade

    Ok, we are good to go on three 7/16 helicoil kits. If you would like one send the money over paypal to aaron@driftmotion.com Make sure to include all necessary information please. I can ship it out within a day or two of receiving payment. (pretty busy but I'll get it out asap!)

    Im going to ignore everything except the drifting (by some of the best drivers out there). Then it should be cool.

    Should I go though with a purchase of a house?

    LOL at those home prices, ours was $475,000 a year ago. I would buy two and use one just for entertaining guests!

    1jzgte Vs 2jzgte (aristp)

    I don't think you are contradicting anyone. No one will argue that the 2jz will make more peak output power stock, and has the potential to make more power then a 1jz when modded, BUT, the stuff the 1jz does have going for it are something an enthusiast can deffinately appreciate. First of all...

    1jzgte Vs 2jzgte (aristp)

    Lets see... You would need: Mid sump oil pan Diring diagrams for an Aristo, and the wiring is way more complicated then a 1jz Bellhousing Flywheel Motor mount brackets Custom intercooler piping Intercooler Radiator and hoses Plus all the normal 1jz swap stuff: Power...

    my car pc!

    haha, cool man! You can also just plug a playstation into the monitor because they all have composite video input, the harder thing to find is a monitor with VGA input, but they are all over ebay now. I wouldn't say you would be copying me, I got the idea from my friend Jason about 10+ years...

    Exhaust manifold stud upgrade

    Copper huh? I've been using nickel but I'll look into it if copper is better. You don't need Loctite on the nuts because they are locknuts and I don't think Loctite is a good idea on a helicoil because it might back out with the stud if you tried to removed the studs later on. Honestly I think...

    my car pc!

    Man that "other" supra site just went bad so fast, and I think it is all because of greed. Any time a forum becomes a money maker the content just goes right down the shitter. They are so afraid that someone will try to take business from their sponsors that the admin turned into the natzis, yet...

    my car pc!

    Honestly the position of the stock stereo is a little low but it really is not bad at all for the monitor. The shifter doesn't really block my view either. The text is a little small, but I don't have purfect vision and its no problem to read. If you are doing some serious web browsing then it...

    Exhaust manifold stud upgrade

    That's great it worked on your engine, but from my experience building a bunch of 7m engines and repairing more I would disagree. But that is why I have a stock kit too, so if you feel confident in it then go for it. The larger diameter studs work better in part because you remove a little more...

    In 25 posts you already are disappointed with the Supra community? :biglaugh: You get what you put in. I've been posting pics and explanations of all the projects I have done on my Supra for years. But it's all worth it because when I have a question there are many knowledgeable people on...
