The 4G63 IS an awesome engine - it's too bad Mitsu didn't design a drivetrain that can properly handle it's potential, or the potential of the 6G72.

N2O - but saying NO2 is better than saying NOS.

You could do it if you did a complete right-hand-drive swap.. Worth it? Probably not.

I fart in the VQ35DE's general direction! Still, not a bad car - for a Nissan. :)

The problem with auto 1JZs is the gearbox strength. It will work for stock and "BPU" applications, but it's not recommended beyond that, while the 5-speed is known to be pretty strong. If you want an auto 1JZ AND you want power, I's recommend integrating a built A340E from a 2JZ-GTE...

Never drink on or near the job, and never drink and drive. Even if YOU deserve the consequences, the Supra doesn't.

I know that the phrase "there's no replacement for displacement" has been KIND OF proven wrong [you can take a smaller displacement engine and use boost as artificial displacement by cramming a larger volume of air in the combustion chamber], and people use a little bit of technology to make...

When I put my intercooler on and cranked my boost controller to 13psi, I couldn't keep traction if I launched at 2500. I used to. To hook up correctly and not spin tires, I launch at 1500, and I am only using a TRD sport clutch. As for the RB - it's stock internals don't handle the same as...

I thought there were many lessons learned that are much more important. It doesn't sound like you learned a lesson at all. "Don't show off" "Don't speed, especially in a residential area" "Don't run from cops - they will find you and things will be MUCH worse" I would hate for you to...

The problem with most of the rev-happy motors is that yes, they are nice/decent when they get INTO your powerband, but from a stop it can feel like an eternity to get there. You think turbo-lag is bad? I happen to think that a rev-happy 4-banger with a case of "NA lag" is worse.

The 4A-GZE was pretty popular. HKS released a "Twin-Charger" system. Turbocharged AND supercharged - and then some people would add a Blitz pulley to the supercharger to pull even more power out. One of those in a lil lightweight 1G MR2 is a killer.

Manual tranny too - nice price. Good luck with getting it all done in your time frame. So long as you are good with crimping/soldering, it looks like you will have it in no problem, especially with how motivated you are from the start. Picked up and stripped in a day? Nice. Let us know how it goes!

If I wanted revs I'd buy a sport bike, a rotary powered Mazda, or a Honda. Only one of those three can beat a Supra on a regular basis.

You don't need a reason or an excuse.

I heard about them 3-4 years ago. I've seen their front facing intake mani, and I know they also make motor mounts. I've heard nothing positive OR negative about them, except about their prices.

Yeah, but with the price of gas these days, maybe it's a viable alternative... :cry:

..wait, your screen name is your REAL name? The MAFT looked interesting, and I would probably go that route or with the E-manage ultimate if I was sticking with the 7M. At least they are doing better than the FCON/VPC these days. I hear that those solutions run you really rich and...

Man, if you can afford that downpipe, surely you can afford a jack, chocks and tools to accomplish this on your own? It doesn't take much skill to turn a few wrenches. May take a little elbow-grease, liquid wrench and muscle, but that's a hell of alot cheaper than having a shop install a simple...

Think it may be possible to take the shifter apart a little and set it in a lathe to shave down a little material where it's fat under the threads? I don't like it, but I can deal.. Still, I know how to use a lathe now, and have access to one. I guess I'll find out when I get my shifter.

I am back at my place right now. We have power, cable, water.. no damage anywhere, even to the windows. Car is fine - just a little dirty. The yard needs cleaned, and one big branch from a tree broke. It didn't even peel away from the tree completely. Tomorrow is going to be a LONG day at work.
