    HKS 256, 264, 272 Cams

    ^ I too would like info on where to get various cams. The speed shops in my area only seem to have 2JZ cams, and they're pushing $800 last I checked. Anyone know where to get actual 1JZ-GTE small core cams? Preferably a reputable shop.

    Daily Driver FTMFW

    I bought chains for my winter tires 2 years ago. Haven't used them but I like to have them around just in case I encounter something my winter tires can't handle. BTW I winter drive my Supra. I'm leaning towards storing it over winter as I now own an '81 Celica that goes really well in the snow.

    Quetions On The 1JZ Power

    Yup, that works as well. IMO I would just go with what pretty much everyone else is saying. A y-pipe, full 3" exhaust, an air intake and a better front mount intercooler(with hardpipes if you want) will easily get you to 320whp, probably even a little more. Rebuilding the twins isn't really...

    15" Rims?

    I just went out and got a set of 16" steelies and put really good snow tires on them. No clearance issues on my JZA70 TTR AND the speedo isn't thrown out of whack. win win with 16s.

    Gas mileage

    I get about 400km/tank of gas. Stock gas tank, average driving, good mix of highway/city driving. I got it up to 475km/tank once driving like an old lady.

    Quetions On The 1JZ Power

    JDM 440s, full 3" turbo-back exhaust. That and either a "tuned" ECU; Mine's, Sard, etc. or a boost controller will easily get you a safe 320rwhp at maybe 14psi that you can run hard all day with your current mods IF your motor and twins are in good condition.

    who drive what in snow

    I have an "81 Celica GT I am currently driving around in the snow. I'm thinking of making it my winter beater. However, I do drive my JZA70 year-round as it does quite well in the snow with good snow tires. The fact that its quite heavy doesn't do any harm either. Obviously both the cars are...

    Boost creep/ cut out

    Just in case you haven't found out yet, stock boost on a 1JZ is 12psi. Or if you want to get technical, 11.8psi.

    hiccups, rollercoaster idle, check light blinkage, etc.

    Epoxy or heat shrink works as well. I found the my electrical tape turned to gunk after a few heat cycles.

    what i made today

    Cool. You could probably start a small buisness. Offer the option for a bottle opener and make ones from MKI to MKIV. Even other cars if the desire strikes you. The key chains from Toyota break quickly in my experience.

    1jz to 2jz in r32

    You already have an R154 on the 1J. All you have to worry about dimension wise is that the overall height of the 2JZ is 1" higher than the 1JZ. So does your hood have another 1" of clearance? The motor mounts are in the same location on both blocks. The R154 you have on the car now is a...

    My New 2001 Celica

    I used to own a 7th gen GTS Celica. It was auto though :3d_frown: Fun little car, very reliable even though I beat on it daily.
