Haha, ok. Well, i have loved my black magic on my 86 when it works :)

My fan shroud had tiny cracks all over and destroyed itself during the install. Very disappointing. I wish i had gone electric.

On stock boost, no worries. But if you are aiming at about 25lbs, i would suggest a new head gasket. 400 buck is cheap when compared to 400 for a new gasket and whole engine after you blow it. But if it was me, i would probably reuse it also. 400 bucks is a bit of cash. I might regret it...

just for peoples knowledge. I got a set of 6 ngk iridiums and yes, they were set to pretty much exactly .29. Loose on .28, but too tight for .3.

agree

Hehe, yeah, i put it in the Jz section. I guess i dont expect any other engines.

Good info, I didnt know that, i went from a auto to a standard and i dont believe i switched my crossmember, but it is good to know. Thanks!

i spent a ton of money on a hydro fan kit only to have the shroud break when i installed it. Now i have no shroud :( and it cost a ton, well, not too horrible, but not great. I really wish i had just gone electric.

Merry Christmas everyone! yes, i know this is off topic. I really don't look at other sections. If one of the mods want to delete it, That is fine.

That plate is awesome! I want that license number also :)

if you are near Arizona, couldn't you just have a good friend across the boarder and have two addresses? I want to try that for a while when i move down. I think we can keep our stateship for like 6 months.

I have a theory which i am starting to test, if your car is running well, then if you boost about 5lbs consistantly, i think you will get the best fuel mileage.

I second that! Beautiful bay!

Both prices are pretty good. I personally would probably go with the HKS, but that is because i dont know much about using the mr2 sensor.

I am really interested because i will be moving to the LA area in a bit over a year with my 1j. I would like to know of a good option, but it seems like the only one is a unethical shop.

Thanks for the assistance!

I would definitely suggest keeping it also. After i did my 1j swap, the power steering is nothing like my 86 7m feel. I actually thought i didn't have power steering working for about a month, but then i turned the car off prematurely one day and i found out i was wrong. On mine the power...

I am a bit confused with what you are asking. The tranny is bolted directly to the engine and it doesnt really bolt down in any other spot. There is a little bracket that holds the end of the driveshaft and tranny. Is that what you are speaking of?

Congrats and good luck! Also, i notice you have a second gen 1j. Very nice!

Its all about packaging and costs. Twins are just more expensive when you go with turbo kits. You can get an awesome single kit for well about a grand or lower and a good twin kit from one of the big companies is going to be around 4-5 used. twins are so much fun and really awesome in so many...
