Due to the fact that I'm new to this site I'm going to refrain from responding to the above in the manner that it deserves. My question has been answered, please consider the thread finished.

Thanx for the links Moy. Told me exactly what I needed to know. As for the comment from someone else about what I "think" Toyota engineers would do... I don't assume I know what any OEM engineer would do, gave up on that about 25 years ago. Case in point... 58 ftlbs of headbolt torque.

Tried GTE vs GE with quotes... without quotes... added dyno... camshaft... and pretty much anything else I can think of and I either get pages of threads that have nothing to do with the subject or ..."Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms."

Awesome.... and since you seem to know the subject well perhaps you'd like to direct me in the correct direction to find these threads that did the subject to death..... since I'm apparently too stupid to find them on my own.

Well thats good to know.. of course if your engine is apart... and you already have a spare GE intake cam.... ;) Thanx

I have a good amount of experience building/tuning Audi 20v 5 cylinders. One of the cheap and very effective "tricks" is to use N/A cams in a turbo powerplant. Exhaust cam only in chipped cars, both N/A cams in cars with upgraded exhaust and turbo. I've put in a decent amount of time...

I knew it was a loaded question when I posted it. But sometimes a loaded question gets the best range of opinions. Thanks to everyone who made an honest attempt at answering. For the record I'm leaning toward 2JZ.

I have an 87' N/A Targa 5spd that I'd like to put well above 400whp and I'm debating on which powerplant will be more cost effective. I have the inside track to an 88' Turbo 5 spd car to use as a donor complete with a very low mileage JDM 7M-GTE. But from what I'm reading to get to my power...

Is anyone here using these? If so.... How long have you been using them? Any gripes? Any pillowblock wear problems? I'm normally not a huge fan of coilovers on the street but my 87' isnt a daily/foul weather driver, I have a pair of Audi's and a Jeep for those duties.

Supra is finally in its new home.... and my boss is putting the full court press on me. See, he has a pair of 88's he's been trying to unload on me. One is a turbo with a fairly recent low mileage JDM 7M-GTE install along with quite a few upgrades. Both cars are targa's and the bodies are...

No offense intended, being a forum noob, but.... After way too much experience slicing engine harnesses, as well as lots of other wiring, I'd never solder a slice. Its simply too brittle IME/O. I prefer using good quality crimp splices with all weather heat shrink, the kind with sealant, for...

Thanx for the Warm welcome everyone. :icon_bigg Jeff, I'll snap a few pics of the Porsche monoblocks mounted on my 91' Audi 200q20v. That car is very close in weight to the MkIII and they've proven many times to be able to stand it on its nose from triple digit speeds.

Thanx SupraMario. I'll get pics of the 87" as soon as I get her home. Unfortunately pics of the MkII are a no go. I owned her long before I ever owned a dig camera and a couple of moves have left me with one pic of her, and that pic is just of one of my sons sitting on her nose. Yeah...

So I'm browsing craigslist, just nosing around and "maybe" looking for a small suv or supercab p/u when my plans went awry. I just knew I shouldn't click that link for the 87' Supra. It's straight, rust free, a 5spd, and I'm a few G's lighter in the bank account. I've decided to blame it on...
