And with that said, thread locked.... People learn to play nice or kiss Off-Topic goodbye. This section is becoming a real pain in the ass...

I turned around and went back about an hour after that last post. Timing was perfect, we got to our seats and racing started about 5 min later. The track was incredible and a couple of record runs were made.

Just got back - pouring rain the whole time I was there. There isn't going to be any racing today... :(

Raining today - it's the finals... :( Leaving now to go up there anyway... Maybe the sun will come out.

I did tons of research on this. Toyota no longer produces anything for the pre 89 wiring harness or ecu. The only way you could do this would be to have the connectors manufactured. Due to the weak demand from the MKIII community for products like this, there's no way to make money, let...

Sigh... Here we go again. Boost doesn't kill engines. The compressive load that you'd generate on factory rods @ 40 psi wouldn't hurt them, nor would it hurt the factory pistons. It's detonation & heat that are the enemy. Find the ways to defeat both and you can run a virtually unlimited...

The N/A MKIV is a turd. The standard 2JZGE is 220 hp @ 5,800 rpm; 210 lb.-ft. @ 4,800 rpm The VVTI 2JZGE is 225 hp @ 6,000 rpm; 220 lb.-ft. @ 4,000 rpm Power to weight ratio is very poor on the N/A car.

One of my pet peeves is "hot water heater" - if the water is hot, you don't need to heat it... It's a water heater.

Exactly, you can get a block for next to nothing, bore it out, install all the parts you currently have and have a fun Supra. Starting over is just going to cost you more, and there's no guarantee you'll have less grief with whatever you pick out next.

Nash, I DEMAND pictures of the internals if you tear that thing down. You are a very, very, very sick dude... lol

No, they are generally very good. You got one with a casting defect. Sounds like an gas pocket in the cast. You can sleeve it, or get another block. Considering this one has at least one known casting defect, personally, I'd find another core.

Going with cheap knockoff parts usually comes back to bite you. On a modern fuel injected car (like the Supra) fuel management is too critical to play games with. Spend the money on the Aeromotive, you won't regret it.

And this belongs in "Other Engine Tech" why? Moving to general.

I didn't imply you were an idiot, but after your hundreds of hours of reading, you are still asking some very basic questions that are already answered 101 times on this forum, and on other sites around the net. Forget I mentioned anything, I will not reply to your threads in the future.

You won't find Supercharger kits. It's not a practical path to go down for a car that already has a turbocharged version. To dump all the money and R&D into heading down this role would be foolish. The reason you don't find turbo kits is they are not needed. You can buy other peoples old stock...

I *was* an original owner of a 1990 MKIII. I've bought & sold 8 more Supras since then, but only the 1st one was a dealer purchase. I owned that car from early 1990 until I parted it out in 2000 - it had 260,000 miles on it at the time and the motor is in another Supra and is STILL running...

Most expensive dollar per horsepower route to go - limited potential. Not a bad route, can be a headache to get running right. No off the shelf kits, uncharted territory, supercharging much less efficient than turbocharging. Best route IMHO - direct bolt in, easy clean, fairly...

Sigh... #1 - There are NO LIFTERS in a 7M/1JZ or 2JZ motor. They are all double overhead cam motors. The cams sit directly on shim buckets that ride directly on top of the valves. Aside from shimming the valves on build, and possibly again after a couple of hundred thousand miles, there's no...

Anyone else going this upcoming weekend?
