    2JZGTE MKIII Swap Info

    Yes, there is another way. No need to 'bang' anything when you can always cut/weld/reshape, right? Hmm, when put like that, banging the firewall a bit doesn't sound so bad, huh? ;)

    SySt's Build up

    They're fun with a couple extra cylinders, huh? I'm getting my SS back soon, whether I wanted it or not... can't say I'm upset about it, I'll have a stock (ish) 1j Mk3 to compare it with. Should be fun. Anyway, for what it's worth, my old 88 n/a auto hardtop weighed about 3620 with me in it...

    SySt's Build up

    I take it you've never driven an LS1 car before? They're rolling burnout monsters. My old SS would roast tires long enough to cook marshmallows in the wheel wells. :p However, your mpg is kinda crappy, get that O2 situation figured out, you should see at LEAST 18 if you're beating on it. And...

    Horsepower?

    Maybe someday. Kinda one of those "if I get bored of the Supras" ideas. The one that I've seen in person was pretty badass. Was faster than all but one of our SILV convoy from AZ, and that one Supra was Tyler Conlin's, if you happen to know him ;)

    The $2008 Grassroots challenge build-up thread

    I'm really looking forward to the $2009 Challenge, you guys can buy an air filter for the Supra with that extra dollar! :D

    Horsepower?

    Nope. Kinda hard to get JDM cars licensed here. Although, living where I do in BFE, it's really not that hard. Simple VIN check (hey, Japanese cars have vins too, they just don't fit the standard here!) to make sure it isn't stolen, and go through about a 3 week process to get a title. Easy...

    1jz gearbox

    More info on your particular car would help. If your car is an auto already, then your driveshaft should be perfect. If you're rocking a 5 speed, then no, they are different length setups. If you're looking to keep the auto, then yes, it will fit. It's the same transmission that came in the...

    That's good, nobody likes random coolant leaks, particularly hard to reach ones :p

    Horsepower?

    You know, if there were one good reason to move to Canada, it would be that 15 year import rule... Have fun with that 1g, I've seen a few at SILV, they're interesting, at the very least :)

    Driftmotion Pulley Set...

    You know, I have NEVER heard of an aftermarket crank pulley doing anything other than fucking things up... On ANY car. I suggest you pay attention to the huge red letters post above ;)

    What would you do C's or Nashman v2 shifter?

    AGREED! :love: Ever drive an early 90's Chevy pickup with a stick? Yeah... ANYTHING is shorter than that. Feel like you're fishing every time you go to change gears... Ever heard of "rowing" the gears? That's what they're talking about. So be grateful for that at least :p Seriously though...

    Looks pretty good man. As much as I really like the idea of going with the PT6262, this is *almost* too good of a deal to pass on. Oh, and my eyesight isn't the best this early in the morning, but that little coolant nub isn't touching the manifold is it? I don't see that ending well if that's...

    Anybody else have a 1jz in Wyoming?

    Oh? I'm guessing you might be headed this way? Whereabouts might you be moving to? All of the Supra owners I know of are in the Rock Springs/Green River area... all maybe 5 of us haha... But, but... I'm in my cave. Just trying to be a social hermit :biglaugh:

    No you shouldn't ;) Seriously though, I have yet to know anybody who's been disappointed in going JZ.

    Anybody else have a 1jz in Wyoming?

    Haha, you have NO idea how true that is man... I think our biggest 'city' has like 50k-70k people in it. I think my high school graduating class was nearly that big down in Phoenix :p

    Anybody else have a 1jz in Wyoming?

    Is there anybody on here at ALL up here, 1j, 7m, Supra or otherwise? Haha :p

    1JZ Valves?

    Nevermind, I've decided cams would be money better spent, seeing as how I'm not exactly shooting for the moon here. Just an overactive sense of efficiency at work here :p

    Haha, sorry about that one... Your car was always fun man, it was great smoking you off the line, then hearing WW3 coming up fast from behind :p

    Pm 'phoenyxinferno' on here. Used to be my roommate, tuning that thing was fun haha... Anyway, he had his dyno'd last April, I believe it was. 331@ 12psi I believe, on a T66. :D

    I also emailed Aaron on Friday about the subject of being able to use just the kit with a different turbo, but I also haven't gotten a response yet. Probably busy I imagine... I was told on the AZSupraCentral forum that the kit is pretty good quality, but to double check the welds on the...
