Is that a stock radiator Joe? It looks like the one I have. Adam

:werd: I'll second that Aaron.

From what I've heard, the soft, stock suspension setup is very good for the drag because the car will squat onto the rear wheels, transferring weight and helping to gain traction. A stiff suspension can be a bad thing because weight stays in the front, and the rear wheels don't have weight...

OMG! Aaron, you are a card. I love the part about buying extra torque in Japan. That is classic.:yelrotflm

It's a work in progress. I have a few things that I need to replace on the motor that are all minor, including the throttle cable. But man does it pull hard. Joe, we all want to see your 1J. I just realized I've never seen it and I now I really want to. Adam

I have to agree with some of these peeps, those rims don't look right. The lip is way too deep for my taste. 2" or 3" ok, but not 6". You should look into something possibly wider as far as tires go for the rear than 285. I think that even with a 285, those tires will still look stretched...

Matt, you are the man. What weight do you use? Will one of the Moderators sticky this for us new 1J guys like me and Matt. Adam

You know I would Aaron if I had everything fixed on mine, the ct26, and afc. It's not like I drive mine very often right now anyways. Adam

My boost guage does the same thing as Joe's. He's right, get an aftermarket one. Otherwise your going to be looking at a pegged boost gauge and have no clue how much boost you're running. Good luck on the swap. You'll love the 1J, trust me.:naughty:

Any updates on how well this is working out Aaron or Jose? Adam

My mistake Adam

Well put Aaron and tlo86temp. Gotta love that inline 6 twin turbo. :D

From what I've heard and read, the stock twin's are only good up to about 350 rwhp. After that the turbine wheels crack from the heat. A good remedy for this is to upgrade to steel turbine wheels. Adam

I want this so bad right now!

Call Champion Toyota in Texas. They can get you any part you need brand new. (713) 943-7010 Adam

So how's it coming Aaron? If I can get my other car back and sell it, I would love to swap in you conversion since I think my stock twin are starting to go. Adam

Thanks csnow.

Aaron, you are the man. Your passion for the Supra's inspires us all. Former auto 7M-GTE owner, current 5-speed 1JZ-GTE owner. Everybody has their own opinion of both motors. They are completely different in both design and power band. If you have a question about something, start by doing...

Smog? Ha! That's a good one. I just renewed my tags (got lucky and didn't have to take it through the testing). But reallity of it is, you can't legally smog a 1J in California. You have to bribe someone. Ask around, people here will be able to tell you who to go to and how much. Adam

I just got my 1JZ put in and my liscense plate lights up, but the front and rear lights don't. Any body got any suggestions on how to fix this? I don't think it is the fuse, but I'll replace it anyways just in case. If it's not the fuse, I don't know. Adam
