I wasn't sure our cars had a sensor but it's been on...

    EBC - not noob questions

    http://www.supramania.com/forums/content.php?172-GUIDE-Fitting-an-Electronic-Boost-Controller-(EBC)-to-a-1JZ First off I have a turbosmart e-boost-1 controller. I also read the above link for a guide line. My first question is, I have an aftermarket BOV with my intercooler but would I still...

    CT26 vs. LIPP BOSS Jr. AR

    isn't 17lbs pretty much the max efficiency of a ct26 even with the best internals you can find? I would say the boss jr. 20 year old turbo technology is not the way to go for autocross. It will give you the more even powerband at the top end and be just as quick of spool if not better. edit...

    Clutch peda engagment point high after r154 swap.

    my clutch on my r154 is set to engage when I'm just about to left off with my foot, is that what you consider high? or do you mean like half foot in and it lets go?

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    most ball bearing turbo's are only oil cooled and their suppose to have the longest projected life. My dad switched out a water/oil cooled gt28 on his turbo sled(rx1) for a gt28 only oil cooled off a car and he's had 0 issues, he actually likes it better. He figures it's one less thing to go...

    1JZ Swap into a 1987.......Mitsubishi Starion

    loll just goes sideways in a straightline under boost. wicked how many lbs of boost you pushing? yeah when you get slicks traction likes to break things, is it hard to find a rear-end that fits your guys' platforms?

    1jz basic power upgrades

    If your singles are in good condition or rebuilt you don't need to upgrade turbos to make 300rwhp. I'm assuming your "BPU" already, exhaust, air intake, FMIC right? I went this route with upgraded rebuilt twins, I wouldn't say stock because their no longer ceramic and they have better comp...

    How does Coolant get in Oil in the 7MGTE?

    If your head was machined down for the metal gasket I would not switch it out for an OEM one to keep your compression even. But if you have a blown frost plug your going to loose coolant everywhere. This is quite perticular, I would take it back to the shop that did the work and have them check...

    Setting up a mk3 for drag/circuit racing? any pointers or tips?

    1jz run 14's stock so I'm sure your mod's will be low 12s to start with, if you practice you will get into the 11's. For autocross you definitely will need coilovers, new bushings, suspension end links and sway bars. this will improve your handling greatly as well as lower your center of...

    Toyofreak's big single 1JZ

    Which engine?

    if you can get a wiring harness built any jz will be easier to make higher hp numbers without major modifcation to the whole motor. with that being said it's not always easier to do a engine swap, connect up the harness, make your new downpipe fit to your old exhaust ad get it running. Although...

    Iridums or Copper?

    your rebuilt turbos have shaft play =S are they still ceramic then? I mean I'd compare to the stock ones before kybashing them bc they blow seals so easily.

    She is finally down on her own two feet!! (hams old supra)

    thats sick, yeah I definately like the look of the zigens with the two-tone paint, but you need steelies for drag racing. What you doing for a differential now, aftermarket I take it? That's crazy fast that anti-lag must make a hell of a difference. I actually thought about a bee-r rev limiter...
