    1JZ-GTE VVTi BOV Mod

    Makes sense, but thanks for clarifying. I loosened up my BOV a bit last night before going home, and it seems to have alleviated the fuel cutting by limiting the boost right where I like it, but it was still cutting out in the morning in the cool air, so I will tinker with mine a bit more.

    Weezl wing ?

    Stick it out there for like $1000. If someone bites, you get a stack of cash. If not, you get to keep the dream alive. Win win either way, right? :)

    MX-83 Cressida questions. 7M-GTE swap?

    Into an 89, I'm not certain of the specifics, but it should be a pretty straight forward swap. :)

    7MGTE coming back to life.

    Hopefully you drained the oil after doing the BHG... Anyway, for the exhaust, if you want a nice rumble, go with the HKS, definitely a good sound, and OEM looks if you get the Sport.

    just a quick question concerning pricing things..

    Smartest thing you've said in this whole thread. :) Hell, if I were in the market for a shell, I would be happy that I didn't have to pull out an old, blown engine. About all they're good for in many cases is either scrap, or unique furniture/art...

    New CT26 dyno 573lbs of torque

    Same here. Given the power, and state of tune, I could see 11's pretty easily with some decent tires. If tuned better, high 10's might happen with a damned good driver. This car is still a 5 speed, correct?

    Super Charged NA

    I bet it would actually sound good when it is done... I get a bit of noise through the amp that comes through the speakers, RPM dependent, and it gives my car a bit of a supercharged sound (at least on the inside of the car). :)

    obx headers installed. do us both a favor and turn it up.

    No worries man, I guess I'm just used to people making them fast before making them look good is all. :)

    Never assume, but at least you have a lead to start with. ;)

    1980 Toyota Cressidia

    Can't say I've ever seen one of those. Are those S13 wheels?

    1JZ-GTE VVTi BOV Mod

    Haha, if it were that simple, it would not be an issue man. I have the boost controller set on its absolute lowest setting (Turbosmart MBC), with the gate system removed to prevent spiking (which was causing fuel cut). Thing only hits like 12psi without it, but with it, it keeps climbing right...

    1JZ into 94 GS300, transmission question.

    If I remember correctly, he AC compressor sitting on my engine might be the same one that was in the car when we pulled the 7m out... but I could be wrong, it has been a while since the swap. 1j and 2j have their accessories in the same spot. :)

    2jz na-t vaccum?

    What cams are you running, and what sort of elevation are you at? Given that your old engine created more vacuum, I would think that you may have a leak somewhere...

    Well it happened

    Man, you just don't have much luck with these things...

    What maintenance would you do immediately after purchase, no matter what?

    Better to be sure than assume though, right? :) If you don't want to go the whole distance with checking the thing out, at least check for funny bends or cracks in the door openings/sills, under the bumpers (just look under the car, should look straight for the most part), check for overspray...

    just a quick question concerning pricing things..

    Well, if you are hell bent on fixing this car, I won't stop you, however... the 7m isn't like most any motor. If you cut even a single corner, you have VERY good chances that it will come back to haunt you later on. ;)

    Weezl wing ?

    Hey Ray, not to rain on any parades, but if you really want to sell your Weezl, please post an ad in the FS section (might not hurt to review the rules after all these years), that way we avoid the wrath of the mods in here. ;) I always kinda wanted one myself, but given the short season of...

    I sold my Supra... jeepers

    This fuckin' guy... you'll be back. :p Seriously though, can't say I know you, but no need to be a stranger, we do have an "other cars" section in off topic, and we all like a good Lexus... :)

    Circuit (road course) 7m Race engine - More Boost?

    Pretty please? :D I was thinking something along the lines of this: http://flyinmiata.com/index.php?deptid=4544&parentid=0&stocknumber=29-40000 If anyone knows a thing or two about racing, you could say that Flyin Miata does. ;)

    New CT26 dyno 573lbs of torque

    Sheesh man, I park a Miata in front of your house ONE time, all those years ago... :rofl: You know what they say: "What is the difference between a 400hp Supra and a 1200hp Supra?" "About one second and 40mph..." :p
