I'm looking to get a JZ series motor in my late 1989 Which currently has a 1990 turbo w58. I'm trying to compare the costs between the USDM 2jz, JDM 2jz, JDM Aristo VVTi 2jz, JZA70 1jz, Soarer VVTI 1jz. I'd prefer VVTi for low end as it's going to be a daily. I'd much prefer to go with an auto...

I might be converting my car to an auto over my rebuild for the next year. It's my daily. Going to be shooting for the most I can get out of a 57 trim ct26. I'm assuming the max that turbo will flow is around 450whp? To convert to auto, I just need a auto computer and the shifter correct? I...

I was wondering if any guys who have done these swaps are still around like IJ? What happened to IJs build thread whenever I find a link to it it has been disabled. I'm gaining all the info I can on a 5.3 Vortec TT swap with an auto. Have most things figured out, still trying to decide on a...

Was considering wheels like these someday especially if I get into dragging/autocrossing a lot and curious to how it would affect my ride versus my 18" and 40 front and 35 rear height tires. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/crr-3428912/overview/ Any pics of wheels like those on the mk3...

I'm attending the Import Alliance fall meet at beach bend and entering my vehicle in the drag and my dad might take it in autox. This will be my first time. My mk3: ct26 albert 57trim @ ~12-14psi (Cheapo autozone meter that sits at -4psi), lex/550s, intake 3" exhaust with open cutout, Head...

I got my albert 57 trim the other day installed it everything great, finally sticks at 7 psi like stock instead of all over the place with my last turbo, which spooled slower than the t04e somehow. (Must not be in the best shape). Anyways got a cheap manual boost controller that people have had...

Hey going to be buying a friends ct26 57 trim albert turbo as well as his new DM Ic kit. As I have to move the oil cooler I figure it would be a good idea to replace it. Does anyone else find this necessary? How many rows would be necessary or sufficient for it? Where would you reccomend getting...

Are these the only proper made brake lines for the mk3? I got slotted rotors and new pads ready to go on, figure i replace the lines with braided at the same time as it is going to be used on the track some.

I'm going to be tuning sooner or later (pig rich afm550s), so I'm in the market for wideband with logging as well as a boost control when I get my 57 trim. This seems like a new product from Innovative motorsports, combining a boost controller and wideband logger in one gauge along with a few...

Hey I'm in the market for new tires for just the rear. Summer tires are fine don't need all season. I'm on work 3p 18". The current tires at DOT azenis 265 35s. I'd like to save those for the track and they suck for trip on the street. Possibly looking at ultra high performance tires. My supra...

So on my way to work the other day. The rear of the car felt a bit... Off and weird.. Notice 4/5 lug nuts are suddenly missing.. Like.. How? So I call into work, boss is cool with it get my dad over to bring jack went to store to replace lugs and all. Get back with lugs take tire off. O...

Took my car for dealership alignment, basically everything was frozen. My rear camber is horribly off it's just sitting on the inside and killing my tires and making my rear end skip a lot. What do I actually need to replace? I know for sure I have to get the camber arms after they're cut, I'm...

Hey all, so I'm noticing this now after taking my car back to ohio to show it to friends doing a lot of pulls... After I got the lex and 550s done. Basically, 2nd gear around 3000rpm. Stomp on it, it pulls like crazy spins tires, hits up to 15 psi or so, slowly drops back down, when I keep...

I've had this issue for awhile I bought a 3.73 LSD from another member here, he had to ship it dry. I originally put Castrol 80-90 (http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/CAS0/8090/N2367.oap?ck=Search_N2367_-1_-1&pt=N2367&ppt=C1985) in it. As I drove it the first time when turning the inner...

It's been like 6+ months now and I've never really thanked everyone. I got my 89 NA 4+ years ago now. Originally my father was going to do most the swap but once we got the motor out he had no idea what he was doing. You guys helped me through so much of it, if this forum didn't exist I would...

I took a video of my car idling. It didn't have this before the 550s lex afm mod. However it still drives just normal, pulls amazingly no miss. Just wondering if this is a natural thing and I shouldn't worry about it or what. Also feel like my throttle is a tincy bit different, it comes on a bit...

Hey just wondering if the injectors are polar or non polar. Doing 550s soon. The new wires aren't labeled I haven't gotten to the fuel rail yet but I'm guessing they're non polar since their function is to open and close?

Hey wanting to get an exhaust cutout. My car is pretty quiet and I miss that turbo noise before I had the exhaust put back on. And I live in bowling green KY and we have a lot of car events here :) Just wanted to get your opinion on which would be better quality. DM has one for 129 with...

I'm doing the afm/550 mod rather soon if I can get the injectors. My brother works in the auto industry and gets massive discounts for parts from advanced and I've noticed cardone makes these afms. Here it is on the advanced site...

Just a quick question is the water gauge supposed to work? I've done the resistor mod tach works and all. I've tried 2 water sensors for the gauge cluster, repaired the wire and it doesn't move. It worked before I put the turbo motor swap. Am I missing a mod somewhere or problems just the wire...
