I swapped a friends old 1jz engine into my current supra and it started acting up within 200 miles, the oil pressure was low and it the RPMs dropped when I hit the clutch. It was crankwalk. I attributed this to him running a really heavy clutch on the motor with no neutral start disable. The end...

On May 21st, Swift Performance will be hosting a Supra meet and dyno day at their shop. They are located at 251 W. Thames St, Norwich CT. The Swift shop is located in the back of the lot, there is a power equipment dealer in the front that you will have to drive through. It will be...

I'm cross posting this from SF: I have talked with Sean from Swift Performance in Norwich, and they are willing to host a meet / dyno day at their shop. Since Streetwars is in April, I figure we'll make this one in May. Once we nail down a date I will post up a thread with more details about...

This thread is to plan a caravan down to the Englishtown meet on October 16th. This is a route from CT on down, for anyone that would like to meet up with us. We will be meeting at the park and ride off Spencer St in Manchester, we will try to leave there by 8am. Location on Google Maps...

I've been trying to fix my friends car which just doesn't want to start. It cranks just fine, we had spark, but not anymore. The fuel pump is pumping fuel to the rail just fine but it doesn't seem like the injectors are firing. The cps has been replaced and tested and it's fine. We tried...

I pulled what appears to be a reworked pressure plate and 6 puck disc off a parts car. I've been looking around but I can't figure out who made them. I'd like to know if they are ebay specials or what.

I have a really old HKS blow off valve. It looks like this one here: The problem is it has two vacuum connections and i'm not sure what is supposed to connect to where to make it work. As you can see in the pic, there is a black one on top, and a larger connection on the side. So far...

Last night I found out something interesting. While the 2jz alternator is not a 'plug and play' drop in for the 1jz, it can easily be made into one. The difference between the two is the plug, the 1jz plug being round and the 2jz being an inline type. If you have a broken 1jz alternator, you...

How in the heck do you remove the AC compressor from the 1j when it's in the car? I pulled everything off it but it's stuck on a stud going into the engine block. There isn't enough clearance from the frame rail to pull it off the stud. I don't really seem to have enough room to get anything...

In the years since i've been into supras, I've never seen a Godfather kit for sale, aside from the fender flares. Well here it is...

Assuming it doesn't rain on Saturday (although it's not looking too good ATM), Mike (foreverpsycotic) and I are planning on meeting up at the Darien rest stop on i95 at 8am. From there we're going to meet up with the NY guys. Anyone interested in coming from CT and north is welcome to join us...

Well today my invincible 1JZ broke down. I was driving down the highway when the check engine light came on and the engine stalled, in gear at 65mph. Now it will run for a little while sometimes, and then stall out. Sometimes it won't start at all. My guess is that it's a fuel problem. I had...

So last year I sold my black 87 7m car; which I was very happy with, except it wasn't targa, and I miss having a targa. My other reason for selling was that I had picked up a bit of supra history: The car used to belong to Genna. When I picked it up, it had fallen far from what it used to be...

When I turn the key to "ON" the charge light and the check engine light don't come on like they should. I tested some things and found out the W pin on the ECU isn't grounding when you turn the key so that's why the check engine light isn't coming on. The engine cranks and everything else seems...

Anyone have a pic of the hydrofan cooler/hard line? I have a bunch of lines and I have no idea which one it is.

I just wanted to post this up since there are no pictures of the 'easy' way to wire the JZ fusebox wiring to the MA70. Credit the Hams for the idea and all the others that have done it already. Below I have dissasembled the fuse box and taken off the wiring wrap: Here I have seperated...

I found out today that the 1JZ and 7M engine mount(the rubber portion) are different sizes. The 1JZ mount is about 1/4" shorter than the 7M part. Below is a picture of my busted 1JZ mount and the 7M replacement I was going to use: Also, is there any issue with using one 7M mount and...

My friend has a problem with his car where the headlights don't turn off. No matter what the switch is set at they are always on. We have gone through and changed the switch, the headlight relay, and the integration #2 relay. None of these had any effect. I have determined that it must be the...

Ok, sorry if this has been covered before, i've never seen anything on it and a brief search turned up nothing. I recently swapped the turbo in my car and I noticed the wastegate actuator vacuum line is tapped into two different spots on the two turbos. Is one location better than the other? Is...
