    I need this 3 piece wing in order to live

    I'm planning on repainting my Supra since the paint is looking pretty sorry these days. This is a good opportunity to get a slick new wing aswell. I've been leering around the internet and came across a now discontinued GReddy wing under the name "Gracer" for the Mark III Supra. But I can't...

    Rebuilt 1JZ won't accelerate properly

    My JZA70 Supra melted 2 pistons in August of 2009. It's been in the shop ever since being rebuilt. The rebuild was completed, but annoyingly, many many issues keep coming up that prevent the car from behaving normally! I can delve into those issues in another post you guys want to hear about...

    Freshly rebuilt 1JZ won't stay running.

    I have a 1JZ in a JZA70 Supra that has been rebuilt. It originally died from two pistons leaning out at wide open throttle. When it died it had: -440cc injectors -SAFC II -Blitz Access ECU -R34 Skyline fuel pump Cause of death at the time was thought to be myself playing around with the SAFC...

    AEM wideband 02 sensor used to feed ECU?

    I have an issue. I went with the driftmotion single turbo kit, but now the stock 02 sensor doesn't fit in the screw-in bungs. I do have an AEM wideband 02 sensor and gauge however. Aaron at Driftmotion said it's possible to use the AEM's wideband 02 sensor's narrowband feed to feed the ECU...

    1JZ Part - Oil cooler adapter?

    I have a problem. My 1JZ-GTE engine is currently getting a full rebuild in a local mechanic's shop in my small town. Why my engine failed is I went to lean while attempting to tune the vehicle myself, and ended up melting two pistons. So the part in question is this piece that fits onto the...

    Blow off valve mounting location

    I'm in the middle of rebuilding my 1JZ. I'm not actually rebuilding it myself, I can only do the easy bits like the intake piping and intercooler installation. But anyways, I'm doing the driftmotion single turbo kit and their "1JZ intercooler" kit. I have an HKS SSQV III BOV and the...

    Disappointing Dyno

    I just had a tuning shop in Calgary (AutoDream) do a bunch of upgrades to my JZA70 Supra. I had some Brian Crower 264 cams and 440cc injectors installed. I also had some Brian Crower spings and retainers, but they said it couldn't be done because they had to be specially machine pressed in...

    1JZ-GTE intermittently burns oil

    I have a JZA70 Supra. So everyone so often my car burns oil, and when it does, it's burns quite a pile of it. But then, all of a sudden, it starts to burn clean again. So my car burns oil intermittently. I thought at first it may be a failing or failed valve stem seal. I was talking to a...

    1JZ Apexi SAFC II installation - RPM signal help

    I recently purchased an Apexi SAFC II from this website and found all the necessary instructions I needed from the Apexi USA website. Now, looking at the 1JZ-GTE ECU pinout diagram in the installation manual, it lists two RPM signals. The Apexi SAFC II only has one RPM signal wire (the green...

    Opinions on SAFC

    I have a JZA70. Currently I have a Blitz Access ECU and want to do more mods such as bigger injectors. I have a set of JDM 2JZ 440s I would like to install, so do I need to get a SAFC first or will the ECU adapt? I am still planning on purchasing a SAFC, but first I'll be getting a wideband...

    USDM 2JZ MAP sensor = vacuum sensor?

    I have a 1JZ-GTE which is running extremely rich under load and consumes an insane amount of gas. I plan on replacing the MAP sensor. I was doing some research and found that the USDM 2JZ-GTE uses both MAP and MAF sensors. MAP for boost monitoring and MAF for the intake. The USDM MAP sensor...

    Mine's Tuned ECU problem (1JZ-GTE)

    I recently purchased a used Mine's ECU for the 1JZ-GTE from ebay. The guy said it was tuned for stock injectors, stock cams, and stock turbos. So it should work perfectly with my Supra. So here's what I did. Unplugged the stock ECU, plugged in the Mine's ECU (all connections were secure)...

    1JZ sensor problem

    I have a problem with my 1JZ-GTE. My car used to make a nice clean tone when it was under load, now it sounds rough and the smell of unburned gas is coming from the exhaust. I took it to a mechanic and I explained the symptoms to him. He suggested it may be a bad coil or something with...

    1JZ-GTE Block Heater

    I am going to need to install a block heater on my 1JZ-GTE. Since a plethora of parts from the 2JZ-GTE can be retro-fitted onto the 1JZ, I simply assume the 2JZ block heater from Toyota will fit my 1JZ. Can anyone confirm this? Yes, I searched this forum and google feverishly, but could not...

    RHD Supra Heater issues

    I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. I've owned this 1991 Supra Twin Turbo R for over a year now and the heater has never worked (The AC works however, just the heater slider never worked). When it got cold, I simply didn't drive the car and ended up parking it in the garage for the winter...

    Greetings fellow Supra owners (56K Warning)

    Hello, I'm Sam. I have learned an amazing amount of information on this forum just lurking around for 22 days. I received a warning that I would be banned if I did not post soon, so here I am. My fascination with Supras started back when I was around 13 or 14 years old, I first layed eyes on...
