You might be a 1J owner if.....

[mattsplat72]

You are planning on using you spare 7m block as a planter in the yard.

So what happened with the cookie/bacon exchange? I have way too many christmas cookies here that I don't want, I want bacon.

When you decide that 3k is a worthwhile price for a molestered 1JZ, when for the same money you can do your 7M up properly and make MORE POWER AND TORQUE RELIABLY...

When you claim that wikipedia says the 1JZ has more power and torque from factory, and fail to realise it's coz they have had to double the boost going through it...



I personally don't have a problem with the 1JZ's, however what annoys me is the mentality of the people that do the conversions and/or the reasons as to why they do it.
I laughed hardcore at a friend who spent 5k on buying a 1JZ, which included professional fitting and wiring up after he BHG'd his 7M... and then the 1JZ BHG'd! Had he just spent all that money on the 7M... he'd have one very nice, very reliable motor.

I built a 7M and got 15,000 even for my car. Made 9,000 profit. Car is still going strong.

How right? Everything was done well, tuned and running perfect plus the car was an original turbo five speed and original paint that was in super good condition. The 3E5 paint shined in the sun. Everything was stainless or silicone if I could buy it or have it made...

Put down 540 on the dyno.

...if your car has been a daily driven car for 16 months without burning a drop of oil, running low on coolant mysteriously, or being covered in random ick when you look in your engine bay.

That said... my ears still miss the 7m sound. Too bad there aren't any running well enough around here to drive around.

 

[wiseco7mgt]

your attempt to build a 7m leaves you realizing you have no mechanical skills at all, and probably should stick to furious masturbation instead. But you like the shape of the car so........................1jz it is.

when you spend 5k on a swap that dyno's under 300hp...

 

[Devin LeBlanc]

On a dyno jet ^^^

 

[te72]

...if of all the people you know with a 7m that's faster than your car, only one of them is running healthy.

...if you wish your car sounded like a 7m, but you don't have the space for a second Supra to sit while you pull the engine once in a while.

...if you don't have the patience to do a 7m right, because you'd have to mail everything out for machining because there's nobody within your area that even *might* understand how to do the work properly.

...if you ran out of places to hang your BHG trophy gaskets in the garage.

 

[ERA]

I bought a Supra from a guy who had all of them in high garage on the wall.

[laotionracer101]

Your a 1j owner if your car has less torque than a honda 2.0 ex. K20a6

Really? That's less than 150 ft/lbs... even an NA 1j puts out more than that.

 

[MKiii7mSupraBoy]

who needs torque when you can rev to hell?

 

[te72]

That's what I always wonder when I'm pulling away from 700+ ft/lb diesel pickups... and why I don't pick on bikes.

dune pushed ya to the other side (I don't blame you) i would upgrade to ford pinto motor

 

[Devin LeBlanc]
