GTE motor right? if so everyone above is correct, you're fine up to fuel cut, just keep an eye on the afr.

its heavier than a 7M but lighter than a 2jz, plus the car as a whole will be better balanced than the 2jz with all other things being equal as the V configuration is more compact plus the cylinder heads will be lower as well. only thing with any xUZ swap is getting an affordable...

im down for a flat aluminum or cf composite undertray. with an effective front lip and a properly set up spoiler it should GREATLY increase downforce (or at least minimize lift) :)

if you want displacement you could get a 4.7l 2uz....would probably be int he same weight ballpark as the stock 7m.

congrats! any specs?

x3 for "in if it fits targas"

motor alone afaik is minimum $2800-3500. and given that it is an FE head, and will require 100% custom fabrication, honestly its not worth it. one of those "if you have to ask...." scenarios for sure.

i'm in, round and all.

if he registers it as a track only vehicle he can't drive it at all on the street, and to re-register it as a street driven vehicle will have to get it ref'd. (afaik) didnt really get all of that but you'd need a legal residence (or a GOOD friend/family member) in a non-controlled county (in...

useless since 99.999% of the time the BAR Ref will check the BLOCK for the engine code.

option 1 is honestly the best way, since once you're reffed and smogged (just drive around with a 7m for a month or two) you should be in the clear until your next smog date (barring you dont get reffed again). plus, let's be honest, its easier to find a smog guy that doesnt know what he's...

sorry to break this news to you...but you wont pass a state referee with a 1jz just because the motor was never available in the US. the EASIEST/Cheapest way for you to somehow get back into cali spec would be to use a 2jz block, the entire 1jzgte head and turbos (they look close enough to usdm...

double wishbones are in theory supposed to keep the suspension at a near-constant camber through a somewhat limited frame of motion. the issue, with most vehicle (my LS400 for example) is that the upper and lower A-arms are NOT equal length, and thereby any significant lowering results in a...

repost.

afaik or can tell, the vehicles on the list were attempted to be traded in, but not necessarily approved by the fed.

i feel for the supra but 1997 Rolls-Royce Continental-R. Yah, rly.

moar info pls?

sounds more like the car has a bad misfire or maybe one of the cylinders isnt firing at all. the "put put" sound you're hearing is very likely the motor running on an odd number of cylinders, 3 or 5. i'd pull the plugs to see what shape they're in.

good luck, im still trying to get my hands on a specific set of nightpager brackets :nono:

just remember, unless you somehow get yours hands on a reasonably priced USDM Supra 2jz-gte motor, you're confined to using Lexus 2jz-ge's. reason being most "JDM" 2jz-gte's are aristo motors, and dont have ANY of the requisite emissions equipment, as well as lack a CA spec ECU. or a VIN for...
