    How to disable MKIII Anti-Theft Device?

    Hello, I have a 87' MKIII Supra Turbo and I didn't know it had an anti-theft device until I pulled it out of the garage, parked it in the driveway, and attempted to start it to pull it back in the garage. Unfortunately, the car won't start and the lights are blinking and horn on. I have the...

    FFIM for 2JZGE in MK3? Help!

    Hey guys, Hope all is well, I am going the Front Facing Intake Manifold (FFIM) route and am probably going to run into fitment issues since the MK3 engine bay is smaller than the SC300 or MK4 Supra engine bays. The brake booster and battery may get in the way in the MK3. I am leaning...

    Can I run MKIV Wheels on an 87 MKIII without spacers?

    As the title says, I prefer not to use spacers because I think they can be dangerous. I have some 17inch TT 97' MKIV wheels that are 235's in the front and 275's in the rear. I hope a few of you all have done this and driven successfully without rubbing issues (and that includes metal to metal...

    Can I get away using a 7MGTE ECU/Electronics on a NA-T 2JZ without a Piggy?

    Like the title says, I'm curious to know if I will need to custom tune my 2JZGE-T immediately after putting it in, if I'm using my 7MGTE electronics and harness. I only plan to boost 5-6psi until I get a thicker headgasket to lower the compression from 10:1 to 8:5:1. I have a boost controller...

    About to put a 7MGTE in my 87' Need Suggestions to Keep it Reliable

    Hey guys, I bought my 87' Supra with a 7MGTE that has a BH and rod knock. I'm considering posting up a WTB post here for a somewhat "good condition" 7MGTE motor so I can get my car running soon. I would like to enjoy it for a few years with minimal mods (fmic, exhaust, boost controller)...

    Can I use a 7mgte ECU and electronics to run a 2jz NA on NA stock compression?

    Hello, I'm wondering if I need to do a headgasket swap right away or if I can get away with running 10:1 NA compression for now. Thanks! Rick

    Will the A340e auto tranny work with a 2jzGE motor with an appropriate bellhousing?

    Hello, I bought a 2jzGE motor to replace the blown 7mgte with rod-knock thats in my 87' supra turbo. Will my stock automatic transmission bolt up to the 2jzge motor with an appropriate bellhousing? edit: I'm not exactly sure which auto transmission I have currently in the car (it's the stock...

    Pro EFI or AEM for basic 67mm build? Auto car originally converted to R154

    Hello, So I'm trying to figure out which of these would be easier to tune with (I plan to do my own tuning even though I've never tuned before). Also, I heard a rumor that ProEFI 48 isnt available for auto cars. Not sure if this is due to the auto ecu or what because I do plan to get a R154 as...

    What can I do in terms of using 7mgte electronics on a 2JZ GE?

    I just bought a 1987 MKIII last night and am taking out the blown 7mgte that is in it right now. I'm searching for a 2jzGE motor but may not have many options. I may have to get n engine that comes with a cut wiring harness or no harness all together. Would I be able to use the 7mgte harness and...

    New here..need suggestion for which motor to replace my 87' with a blown 7mgte

    Hello, I'm looking to get my car running as soon as possible. The goal is to have either a 1jzgte or a 2jzge. If you were in my position and just needed to have a running car with one of these motors, which would you do if you were on a college budget? My choices: 1) Pull a 2jzge from a junk...

    Quick Question - can a 2jz or 1jz bolt up to a stock 87' 7mgte auto?

    Hello, Just a quick question here. I'm buying a 87' with a blown motor but the car still has a good working order transmission in it. Can I simply bolt up a 1jz motor or a 2jz motor (na or tt) to the stock 87 auto? I just need to get this thing running so I can keep it at my place. Thanks...

    Where to buy a 2JZ jdm Motor?

    I am helping a friend install a jdm 2jzgte motor and R154 into a S14 240sx this fall. I am a bit nervous about buying a used jdm motor, but thats the most reasonable choice. From your experience, where have most of you all bought jdm 2jzgte motors? I want to make sure to buy the motor...

    Intercooler size for a Street Car?

    Im currently debating whether or not I want to go with a 4 inch Thick or 5 inch Thick intercooler for my MKIV. I plan to put down about 900whp for the street on a t4 setup. Is 5 inch worth the added weight and price? Thanks. -Patrick

    Any "cheap" divided manifolds for the 2jzgte?

    I'm looking into getting a twin scroll borg warner turbo for my 2jzgte and am having trouble finding a cheap T4 divided manifold. I do not believe SSAC makes a divided manifold for the 2jzgte. Does anyone know where I can find one? I do not believe ebay has them.. -Rick

    Where should I get the swap?

    I understand this is a Supra forum, but I came on here because of the 1jzgte knowledge and information that this board has to offer. Thanks to it's members :icon_bigg. I do not own a supra, but I hope to one day own a 1jzgte. I have this crazy idea (not original, but a rare act nonetheless) of...

    Auto Supra

    Hello, I want to purchase a Supra 2jzgte. I'm afraid I cannot afford a nicely kept TT 6spd 93'-98'. My budget is $24k for a car. I want to find a nicely kept auto car possibly. Any color, just under 115,000 miles. With little problems, if at all. Do auto owners ever convert their...

    1jz auto to R154 swap?

    So my buddy and I are going to build a 1jz swap in a 240sx. We are going to buy it with the automatic tranny since it's cheaper. My buddy, however, really really wants the car to be standard. So I told him that there is a relatively strong R154 tranny. I was wondering what it takes to swap out...

    1jz/gutted 1987 question

    Hello! I am curious because I don't know what car to go with. An SR20DET 240sx or a 1jzgte 87 Supra. I was wondering, for comparison interest, how a stock 1jz in a gutted MKIII would do against a, let's say, 2005 STi from a roll? I am also eventually wanting to go with a big single turbo. I...
