We looked into the Microtech before we went with the EMS Stinger. We actually ordered a Microtech from a friend that is a dealer for them and after about 2 months it still was not shipped, we gave up and that's when we came across the EMS units. The Microtech has to be special ordered with all...

What I usually do in this situation is cut the conector off the old relay and put 1/4" spade terminals on for a bosch relay. The stock relays get corroded from moisture inside, usually from pressure washing the engine bay.

Don't blame the engine because people don't put the right size turbo on it. That says more about the owner then the engine. Put a t88 on a 2jz and it's a laggy sob too.

^^^ you have the coolest avatar, that pic is awesome! Do you have a full size of that, or know where to get it?

But are you thinking more about Meggs or the burrito? That's the real question... :biglaugh:

I'm thinking about Meggs eating a burrito.

Sure in the US, because they came in cars that are now selling for $25,000+ that are up to 14 years old, so for the most part 2jz's are owned by people with lots of money to spend, or people who rack up lots of credit debt. Either way, those are the people who are likely to drop big money into...

The way I see it, the 1jz is actually a stronger platform. Forget the 2j nutswinging for just a sec while you read this: So you have two engines with the same size main and rod bearings, and the same diameter cams. Now on one engine you make the rods longer, the crank journals further apart...

Makes sense.

Jdub is the most well informed guy around! ......I.....must....resist......must.....50wt......nooooooo

As soon as there is a disagreement everyone starts saying how the thread is going to hell, but what fun would it be if we all agreed? The only thing that bugs me is the people who have the attitude that their engine of choice is "the best", so your engine must be inferior. And in this case...

:biglaugh: You are so out there. How come every Toyota or Lexus drift car I've ever seen has a 1jz in it? You are saying the 2jz is superior because of horsepower potential alone, but on an overall engine performance level I have to say you are mistaken. And you are also mistaken about the...

I'm really not doubting you at all, but I have to stick with my gut feeling, and that is that 0/30 doesn't belong in a Supra. :dunno:

240k+ miles on Jose's 1jz and 317whp on a dynapack on origional stock turbos disagrees with you. :biglaugh: Does it need to go 400k miles to be considered "long term"? :icon_razz I'm no oil expert, but isn't 0-30 for little high reving na engines, and for fuel economy? I'm not telling...

Jose has been using 0-50 for a long time. I use Mobile1 15/50 in my wife's 1jz.

We have stopped doing 7m mhg jobs without a full rebuild. Too much time, too much liability, too much headache, not enough money. The way they treated you was bad, but their reasoning I can totally understand. $1k for a complete mhg job? That shop is screwing themselves on that job, or...

I'll debate that. I'll tell you from installing and selling whole lot of engines, you will have a MUCH better chance of getting a JDM 1jz with good compression (like new), minimal carbon buildup, and minimal cylinder wall wear. Debate the 1jz is better? I wouldn't say that because the design...

Just because you like the 2j more, doesn't mean you need to be rude to the 1j fans. For the record, the 2j twins fit just fine, no mods needed to the body, other then hammer a little dent to give a little firewall clearance.

Thanks Suprahero, and I am not saying that itr206 is wrong, just that not everything I said was wrong either. I guess it was his "wrong answer" that threw me off. Like he mentioned, you could get the car to run with a 1jz map, BUT, you can't dial it in to the best tune possible, which is...

If Bosch sucks, what is the reason?
