    My 1.5J Soarer project

    thats about as JDM as it gets. I like the intake manifold, I planned my car around one of those (relocated the battery) but never got around to installing it.

    cant get over 15psi without fuel cut, standalone???

    ECU isn't smart. Just because you add more fuel, it doesn't mean it removes the 15psi limit. Get a reflashed ECU or BCC

    JDM 2JZGTE

    I ran my jhot motor for almost a year off the crate with just the usuall replacements (water pump, timing belt, plugs). Did run a tad hot but nothing to worry about. When I went single, I replaced the headgasket for a 2JZGTE one. Some of the water passages were blocked just from being a...

    hard thought to swallow

    Who pays $3400 for 1988 anything, especially a 88 supra???? Are you sure it wasn't 1400???? You can pickup nice SC300's, GS300's, LS400's for that. Or if you like class, you can get E36 BMW's for 3400. Theres soooo many better choices out there. He really was an idiot. I know this is a...

    1jz as daily driver?

    My wife drove my other 93 1jz SC300 daily 90mi a day to work and back in stop and go traffic for 6 months. She said the only thing that would break is the hearts of honda drivers as she smoked em. We sold it for a E36 convertible. That thing was a unreliable POS. Nothing major ever went...

    1jz as daily driver?

    Why stay out of boost? No issues here. My engine has been on the road for 2+ years now.. 20psi on stock twins, and 1 bar on single (street tune). The car hits 8k rpm all the time.

    1jz as daily driver?

    What do you mean? It's more reliable then the 7m will ever dream to be. Slap in the 1JZ, and drive it 100mi a day til it gets to be about 200k on the clock.. then single turbo it to 800whp for another few years. By the time you wear it out gas will be $10 a gallon. The only way to kill...

    crank pulley bolt removal, engine out of car

    1JZ shares the same crank dampner as a 2JZGTE and 2JZGE, bolt and all. So, you're replacing your dampner with a lightweight unbalanced undampened "racing" pulley???? Kiss your motor goodbye. Do your research before wasting money. There is no aftermarket lightweight crank pulley for...

    1J Flywheel question

    When you re-surface a flywheel, the machine shop removes the surface on the flywheel that the clutch touches. How much does one remove? Enough to make the surface flat again within design specs. Usually only a few thousands at max. If he machines the flywheel to have that "lip" and removes...

    stock bov on 1j

    A blow off valve is not a performance modification. Period. There is ZERO horsepower to be gained by a valve that lets air out when you let OFF the throttle. The only power to be gained is if your stock valve is leaking. If own a 1JZGTE, yours probably is. How much power will you gain...

    I have a warrant out for me? I don't suppose we have any lawyers here....

    Let me give you some honest advice here as I have spent 60 days in jail in 2004 for having too much fun on my motorcycle. First, is it just a mistiminor? If so, you're fine. No worries about anything hurting the rest of your life. It's 59 days in jail, that means you'll be out in 45 on...
