    Topfeed conversion on the 1jz-gte

    I'm in the process of converting my 1jz-gte to single turbo. A while ago, I already converted my ECU from the stock 1j ecu to 2jz-gte JDM to accomodate my 440cc injectors a bit better and it's been running like a champ. Now with the larger turbo the quest for some more horsepower arrives and...

    Testing 62-1 turbo MKIII on a closed road

    So the other day my upper intercooler hose came off, due to the increased flow with my ct26 62-1 turbo, and I installed a new big clamp. With a road trip ahead the next day I decided to put it to the test before driving it long and hard. My friend went with me and shot a little vid. Nothing...

    She came a long way. Rusty, stock, everything broken including most of in the interior. Bought as stock 7m turbo in 2004, now almost mint and pushing an "all day long" 360 hp and 600NM tq. Drives like a dream. Now for sale as I need the money to buy a MKIV. I'm sure I'll miss that old 7M...

    Some things upfront: - I searched my ass off for this information but couldn't find anything. - I didn't post this in the turbocharger section because I don't know if this topic will get enough information to make it to that 'knowlegde-base'-like section. - I live in the Netherlands (europe)...

    Sometime this month two members of the Supra Owners Group Holland decided to set up a meeting for all members. And even though it's hard to get a lot of supra owners together all at once at thesame place (with working engines :icon_bigg ) in such a small country, the meeting turned out to be...
