The time has come to make a build thread. The goal for the car is to make a somewhat reliable summer time toy that will be used for the street and the strip. My current goal is to break into the 12's but I am sure it won't last very long.
Here is a little history about my car. I purchased a 1991 JZA70 from a guy in Calgary who imported it in the Fall of 2006. The car came basically stock from Japan with around 110,000kms. The previous owned added an HKS Intake, HKS Intercooler with Hardpipes, HKS downpipe with full 3inch Exhaust and new rubber. I received the car at the end of July and drove it until the end of August where it left me stranded. The car just died in the middle of the intersection so I thought it was time to park it for the winter(2007).
Spring time(2008) soon came and I realized the ECU was the culprit. The ECU was deemed non repairable so I made the decision to go full-standalone. Over the past few months I have been collecting parts and adding them as they come in. Here is what I have added to the car so far:
-New Balljoints and Tierods
-Front and Rear Strut tower bars
-Apex'i AVCR
-New shifter seat and socket
-Boost, Oil Pressure and Water Temp Gauges
-Stinger Standalone EMS with Bosch Wideband Sensor
-Blitz Turbo Timer
-Lots of basic maintenance
-Front Bumper Repainted ( Original Paint was flaking off after driving in the rain :shock: )
-Stance GR+ Coilovers
-440cc Injectors (Only for the stock twins
-Walbro 255 Fuel Pump
-Bel STi Radar Detector
I drove the car for around 3 months this summer and just finished parking her a couple weeks ago. I never had a chance to get the car dynoed but I had it tuned to 16psi on the stock twins. Ever since day 1 of owning the car the stock twins have been smoking once the car warmed up. I knew that one day the stock twins would fail so I have been looking into a single turbo setup.
I found a single turbo setup from a local Supra owner and just picked it up about a month ago.
Here is the new setup
-JUN 264 intake cam
-JUN 272 exhaust cam
-JUN cam gears
-Apexi IHI C7 turbo
-Trust Manifold
-Greddy Wastegate
-ARC intercooler
-HKS SSQV
-Dual Feed fuel rail
-Aeromotive FPR with full stainless steel fuel lines back to the fuel tank
-Blitz 850cc injectors
-Brand new HPF Feramic single plate clutch
-Walbro in tank pump and a Walbro inline pump
Goal is for 500whp on pump gas.
Also with the deal I got a 94 1JZ Chaser motor with 40,000km's, ecu, ignitor, map sensor, chassis harness and R154. So pretty much I have another complete 1JZ swap.
The plan over the winter is to replace the seals, timing belt components and water pump. I also want to take the motor completely apart and inspect all the clearances. Then when spring comes along take the 1JZ with 130,000kms out of my current Supra and swap in the new setup.
Now I just need to find a project for another 1JZ swap!
