    A sacrilege? Maybe but would be interesting

    That's a HOT dyno graph man. With respect to the poll, I think that it all depends on how you want make power from your car. If you're a big N/A guy, then go for the LSx. If you're more into forced induction, I think that the 1UZ would be a much better choice. They're as bulletproof as the JZ...

    Why did YOU go 1JZ?

    After failing to find any decent supras for what I wanted to spend locally, I happened to meet a friend of a friend who ran a small business importing cars from Japan. I've always wanted a unique car, which is why I wanted a supra in the first place, there's not a lot of them on the roads...

    The Best Engine -- Opinions please

    Yeah, "needs new engine" on a supra is more then likely "needs new head gasket"

    Best (Cheap) Upgrade for Stock 91?

    I had a leaky turbo oil line that would spray onto the exhaust when running 3500rpm and up. It would sizzle, and smell like burning oil. Check to see if you have any whitish spots on the exhaust near the turbo.

    so I painted my needles

    Those look HOT. I painted mine blue as well :p Out of curiosity, what color lights are you trying to light them up with? When I replaced my dash lights with blue LEDs, the orange needles really didnt light up. I scraped off the orange, and repainted them blue, and they look great. Try...

    Need opinion on this MK3

    I'd buy it, if it wasn't for that oil pressure thing. That can either be a big problem, or create a big problem later on. What about the body, what shape is it in? BTW, suprastick, best word ever. (Of course it's like $30 for new gas struts)

    1jz tach signal

    IG1 is the signal going TO the ignitor. Try connecting to the IGT signal beside it, which comes FROM the ignitor. IF1 says "fire ignitor 1" IGT says "I've fired an ignitor" IGT will read 6x higher then IG1

    Flange Fabrication : Thickness & Material

    With supporting mods, you will be in the low-mid 500hp range. That's what I've seen done with other twin K26 kits.

    1JZ Buying Questions

    the 1JZ bell housing can be had at Champion Toyota for $300. Flywheel is $223 from them as well. Any 7M clutch kit will work with the 1JZ bellhousing/flywheel with the R154. The auto ECU WILL also work with a 5-speed.

    Importance of Y Pipe/Downpipe.

    You can change the pipe while keeping the turbos on. All you have to do is remove the studs from the exhaust housings, which suprastanger507mgte told you how to do. However, with some y-pipes, you may not be able to get it back ON this way. With my y-pipe, there was one bolt on each turbo...

    big single

    Yes, do some more research. Here's why: 1. The 1JZ already has a MHG :) 2. You can build your own kit for half that price. Just to get you looking in the right direction, for 600hp, you will need larger injectors for the engine (2JZ 550cc injectors work well), you will probably need a new...

    Who are the 1J experts here?

    Depending on how many miles are on the engine, it may be a good idea to change the timing belt and serpentine belt before you stick it in. They're a little bit easier to get to with the engine out, and if you're going to be changing stuff anyways, might as well do it. And, if you're keeping...

    Headunit Installation

    I can get the trim off in like a minute. Taken it off so many times. I'm on my 4th HU in the last 4 months. If they have destroyed the factory harness, I can give you the color codes for the wires so that you can wire it up. They haven't changed in close to 20 years.

    Just throwing this out there.. custom gauge idea.

    Here's another custom gauge idea for you. I'm very familliar with using various PIC microcontrollers (Miniature computers in a chip). I have designed 2 separate units, which can input a 0-5v signal into their ADC, convert it to the proper units within software , then output it to a display of my...
