    head gasket opinions

    It's steel. It's not going to deform that much or anything. You will be fine.

    1JZ Compressor Surge!!!

    Tell that to my GT40 that lasted all of about 2000kms before requiring a rebuild

    stock rev limit / governor

    Stock speed cut SHOULD be 180km/h. If you're running a mismatched tranny/rearend/tire combo, this can be pushed higher.

    1jz bottom end

    Think of a 2JZ bottom end, then think of it being stronger due to reduced rod length. There are several people making upwards of 700whp on stock bottom ends, just not necessarily on this forum.

    My new turbo Toyota! And it's not a Supra.

    Yeah, it's SUPER rare, expecially in Canada. It was built to compete with the Mazda B2600, which was released in 86. The turbo truck was only sold in 86, and 87, then production was stopped, when they came out with the 3L V6 in 88. They sold the remaining 87 stock in 88 too. I have heard...

    exhaust ques

    Correct, 1JZ cats are 1" longer than 7M ones. If the shop is worried about the sensor, cut the wires at your house, then drive there with it disconnected to show them that it doesn't change anything.

    My new turbo Toyota! And it's not a Supra.

    I would like to formally ask whoever installed the alarm system in this car to never touch an electrical wire again. Driver's side kick panel, with alarm brain "installed" behind it. The kick panel was never properly but back either. Kept falling off while I was driving. Entire alarm...

    Rear differential weight

    That's becasue my front diff is only a 7.5", while the back is 8". Go to walmart, and find a rubbermaid bin that will fit the diff. It costs 5 bucks, and with the lid firmly taped on, will be a great box to ship it in.

    Turbo Size psi/volume

    Argue with you? OK! With all else being equal, 300kpa is 300kpa is 300kpa. You are entirely corect with this, nobody is arguing that. What I AM arguing about is that not everything else is equal. Air temperature will be different within the manifolds. Lets say at location A, air pressure...

    Has anyone done 24 hours of LeMons??

    There are actually quite a few teams that run MKIIs in that race. There's a thread on CelicaSupra about a team that dressed one up as a delorean. They covered it with tin foil, put a blender in the back, it was pretty funny. They ended up winning the "best looking" award or something. I...

    Another question

    Mine is a non-adjustable one. So, to adjust it, I simply opened up the SSQV, compressed the spring slightly in a pair of vise grips, then heated it up with my torch until it got red hot. Then I let it cool, and there you go, less spring tension. If I wanetd MORE spring tension, I could...

    TPS Calibration

    Also, because you're running a standalone, it was calibrated to whatever your TPS was set to before. If you re-calibrate the TPS, you will need to have the standalone re-calibrated too.

    Numerous fail!

    That second video reminds me of a Top Gear episode where James May races two guys across the city, him in a car, they're on foot running and jumping over buildings and stuff. It was insane.

    r154 shifter work in w58?

    Yes, they're the same part. I actually installed the shifter from my R154 into my 83 Celica because it had nicer bushings :)

    any toyota key works

    My 83 Celica key unlocked and started every other Celica I tried it in. My brother used the Celica's key to unlock and start a Jetta that double parked him. True story. Fortunately my Supra has newer lock cylinders.

    My long overdue build thread

    When he says untuned, he means the car was loaded with a base map from a similar car. You know, I wouldn't at all be surprised if your car is running the tuning from my 1JZ.
