    Are you a certified welder?

    Are you a certified welder?

    being nuclear certified just means that you can weld on parts that are used in nuclear power plants. yoru not around radiation. if you take a normal weld that would take 1 pass to set it in nice. for it to pass the nuclear standards, you would say run a bead, grind it down, run a bead, grind it...

    I'm at a crossroads, what should i do?

    yeah this is true. fabing it in there would kinda suck. the 1UZ in my 82 pickup however would be bad! i would have no handling at all though lol.

    I'm at a crossroads, what should i do?

    well i know there is a guy putting one in a mkiii. but he is also twin turboing it i think? which is just crazy! you think it would be that hard to fab? also didnt they only come in an auto. they never came in a w58 right?

    I'm at a crossroads, what should i do?

    yeah but i would prob get ripped on for dropping a 1UZ into a supra. the GTE SC300 and a NA-T supra doesnt sound too bad...... i forget, but what kinda hp would you get from a 2j na-t with just a thicker HG and a small-ish turbo? i really wouldnt have much money wrapped up with the GE if i kept...

    I'm at a crossroads, what should i do?

    ok, well i have had my supra for 2 years now and i have most of what i need to do my 2JZ swap. a few weeks ago i told my friend that if i could afford a MKIV i would prob get one. but since that is not likely to happen, that i would probably just get an SC300 and do a motor swap. he just got an...
