    My black widebody MKIII with 2JZ-GTE and V-160

    Woooooowww. That's a great build thread. Congrats on your efforts to take your mk3 to another level. Euro Supras rock! LOL. One question though : what rear end/diff will you use? Also what diff gear? 3.7 is the lowest oem diff on our cars. Maybe you have the rare 3.54 gears. I did study...

    Rust issues/ And repairs :)

    Just found same crap on my Supra 2 days ago! Removed the rear speakers and found the cancer but the amount of rust was small. Didn't waste a second. Took the car this morning to the body shop (don't have the tools or the knowledge to repair it myself). Just got it back (paid the shop $200)...

    BorHor's RHD 2JZ MK3 Build Thread.

    The only way to put a 6 speed getrag on the mk3 Supra is to get the V161 trans (97-02 mk4s),which has longer gears vs the V161 trans (93-97)....but shorter 6th gear. Also get big wheels (tire/rim combo),to help the gear also. And if possible to find the 3.5 gear and pinion. A guy or two,do...

    1JZ-GTE Clutch Fan Setups

    Yeah..this should go sticky. Very good infos on the JZ swap motors and clutch/fan setups. I got a 2jz-gte motor (now single turbo),with a 2jz-gte clutch and a 2jz-gte fan blade. I have a stock MA70 radiator along with a stock MA70 fan shroud. It fits very well...a little tight,but without any...

    The story of my Supra....My 2JZA70 supra!

    LOL... I DO HAVE a fire extinguisher since then! No matter what motor I have under the hood... And if there is an oil leak or fuel leak or any other fluid, the Supra won't move an inch out of the garage till I fix 100% the problem . Lesson learned ! Thanks for the thumbs up man...

    WTF? FP drop on 2nd & 3rd gear and OK on 4th & 5th gear during boost. Help!

    True is,that I have a very bad battery and I jump started the car with the help of another vehicle....But since it started and the alternator was doing it's job thought everything was ok. On my voltmeter I had 12.5 V. You think it might be a 'power' issue to my pumps,since they work on...

    WTF? FP drop on 2nd & 3rd gear and OK on 4th & 5th gear during boost. Help!

    When I am on boost I got lean conditions like 13-14:1 on the AEM wideband during 2nd & 3rd gear pulls.... FP drops 0.3 - 0.4 bar from the desired 3.6 bar . And during 4th and 5th gear pulls I got a normal 11.2-11.5 : 1 on the AEM wideband and the normal FP of 3.6-3.7 bar. For example,when I...
