    Where to mount a engine/tranny oil cooler?

    You can go with the larger oil cooler if you mount it in front of the condensor...thermostat controller, bigger is better in this case. Here's Jag's dual filter mount with the conventional/Trasko filter combo: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1040898&postcount=402 His build...

    Seth got it for me...it was the same as the eBay price at the time. Mine is identical to the one you showed in post #96.

    Help me decide 2JZ or 7M

    Dow - Nice write-up...one thing, iirc the 7M crank is in the '90-'92 motors. That crank can also be sourced from a '90+ Cressida with the 7M engine. A 7M crank out of a NA motor is actually a better choice...it's lived a bit more cushy life ;) What you are going to see as the 1/2JZ swaps...

    Yep...that's mine ;) Seth made that FFIM and he uses the same TB on his as well. An 80mm will easily handle a GT35/37...I'm looking at the T04Z or GT40R. Not that I would use the 42R, I'd go 90mm if I did.

    Rob - I don't know if you saw this. If you're thinking about using a Q45 TB, this looks like a good alternative: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77634 Upside - it includes a flange. Downside is you'll have to get a Q45 TPS and wire it to your harness.

    Aeromotive FRP and fuel pressure

    1jz has rod knock

    The sump is big enough...at least as large as the 7M. There are several guys here doing it and you can tell zero difference in the way the engine runs. Think about it...what happens to the oil when the motor is running vs shutdown?

    Help me decide 2JZ or 7M

    Ok sports fans...enough bashing each other. Thread goes back on topic or it gets locked. If you have a comment, it needs to pertain on the pros or cons of either motor.

    Jaguar_5's 87 Turbo Build

    LOL...the speed sensor is indeed in the speedo (reed type), turned by the speedometer cable. Fix your speedo and the code will go away. If you had an auto tranny, the effect of this code would be a bit more pronounced ;) You're welcome Jag.

    Jaguar_5's 87 Turbo Build

    You're speedo is not working ...correct? Care to guess where the SPD signal is derived from? ;) It's used mainly to control idle, AFR during acceleration/deceleration and fuel cut during deceleration.

    Might want to think about bigger injectors before you install that turbo ;)

    For Those Running (or have run) a GT4088R (aka GT40R) Turbo

    No it's not bad at all. I'll be running a built auto so there will be no worries about losing boost on the shift. I have a 3000-3200 torque converter...that will help getting boost off the line. Watched the vid...she sure sounds good too ;)

    For Those Running (or have run) a GT4088R (aka GT40R) Turbo

    Thanks again...is there a divided housing on the turbine housing as well? I was hoping this turbo would spool a bit sooner...what you posted is right in the range of other guy's experience. Your set-up looks nice ;)

    For Those Running (or have run) a GT4088R (aka GT40R) Turbo

    Yes! It does...thanks! That's the same AR turbine housing I'm looking at ;) When do you see initial spool on this turbo and when does it go into full boost RPM wise? What kind of exhaust manifold?

    Exhaust sizing help

    Besides that, the amount of air pushed through a 2.5L engine makes using a 4" DP hardly worthwhile. A 3" DP should be plenty ;)

    high idle... don't really know why

    Hook the ISCV hose to the stock location vs using a filter. Like I said, if you block off BOTH the ISCV and the PVC hose to the TB, the engine should die. Edit: now that I'm done having my senior moment over here ;) My brain read "MAF" and not "MAP"...you are correct, the use of a filter...
