I finally installed these rebuilt/upgraded ct12s I got from driftmotion and the intake pipes (and more noticably the hot pipes) don't line up very well. one of the turbos compressor housings must be about 3-5 degrees out of rotation. I pulled the snap ring off the front turbo in hopes that...

Hi I have a spare pair of 1JZ stock twin exhaust manifolds, and I want to pull the o-rings in the grooves on the turbo side out so I can have the manifolds shot blasted/ceramic coated. Are these things even meant to be removed? If so, how do I? Are there replacements anywhere? Mike

This got delivered last Monday. I requested the housings get treated with black thermal coating in addition to all the work normally offered. Apologies for the sub par camera. Unfortunately I have to pull my motor out to address an oil leak at the back of the engine (either crank...

Hi I have a 1JZ-GTE with oem electronics, and a transmission from a chevy colorado (Aisin MA-5, AR5, whatever you want to call it) which has a 2 wire vehicle speed sensor. I was planning to get an adjustable electric speedometer, something like this...

Can anyone point me toward a complete wiring diagram (TEWD?) for the JZX90 or maybe just pinouts for those specific connectors? I'm struggling coming up with any useful info. I think the one I have a wire sticking into is sort of like our B1 body plug. That pin goes to the starter solenoid...

So, I've seen a few people building 7M heads machine out the stud hole to press in a heavy duty washer. The idea is that having a harder landing under the head stud nut prevents the aluminum from softening/collapsing and causing a lack of tension on the head. My question is: Is it really...

So, I know generally that an oil thermostat redirects flow from a "bypass path" to the cooler path as it heats up. Here's the question: When the thermostat is closed off cold, is the oil cooler still under pressure? (Is it still connected at the cooler exit to the engine oil when the...

Hi, there's this guy on the local car forums who linked to that blog post about MKIII Supras being garbage.. It's got the picture of that airborne rally MKIII with wheels extended so far that the camber has gone negative (due to the short upper and long lower arm) My car has coilovers, and...

Anyone know off the top of their head what bolts I need to mate the bellhousing to my 1JZ. Neither the engine or bellhousing I have came with them. I'd get off my ass and check myself but the cars in another state.

oh hey there, supra! wat.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1329362/Indecent-proposal-Man-tries-run-girlfriend-rejects-marriage-plea.html damn it it's a repost... sorry.

4.0L 32v v8.. hmm... sounds kinda like the 1uz I have waiting to go into my supra. 6 speed manual. 200k on body, well maintained, ~100k on the dealer replaced shortblock. (not entire engine) there's two spots of rust on the doors, otherwise paint is gorgeous. almost everything works...

Hey guys, I got a hold of a really old toyota, I mean oooold, and it's still in great shape. It's been indoors for most of it's life so nothings really had a chance to corrode. It's not a Supra but there's a lot of knowledgable people here so I figured you could help me in picking out...

A long time ago I started this thread, and it had some pictures of my dads new (at the time) garage floor, and of a junkyard 1uz-fe I picked up which mysteriously had a hole through part of the block. There were pictures of the chevy colorado AR5 trans, and there were pictures of the body I was...

(the bolts that let you adjust camber and toe-in.) for someone who has ordered them before, do I have this right? there are 2 separate types of adjustment bolts in the front, so I need to order 2 of each type. there is only one kind in the rear subframe, so I need to order 4 of them.

you guys talk too god damned much wait it's still at 199. do off topic posts not count? also, anyone watch the wire? i like that show.

16x7 konig wildcards, they came on my original supra. the wheels alone made it worth it. I'm sad to get rid of them, but I knew I'd be putting on a bigger wheel and my friend with a 6th gen celica (who was actually the previous owner of the supra) was in need of a nice set of wheels. They fit...

I'm not a very good welder.. but hey. My original rear subframe wasn't cracked, but it was corroded almost to the point of nonexistence, so I got one on car-part from south carolina. That one was in a lot better shape, but had cracks in the usual area on the front back and underside. I cut open...

Is it worth it to get the dual filter mount with a filter relocation kit? What are your opinions? They work in parallel to reduce the amount of oil that gets bypassed, right?
