Last time I looked under the hood of my JZA70 i definitely didn't see any sort of AFM...........maybe its hiding next to my flux capacitor.

He has only 3 posts, and has no creditability on what he is claiming so I'll take it with a grain of salt.
That's like me saying my supra is stock lol.
The thing thats pissing me of the most is this nimrod is misleading the OP.

Nippon Teku lay off the ganja,you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Stop making us yardman look bad. I know most of the high powered supra guys in the tri-county area and non of them run the ct-26. Most guys here run 67mm and above. Supraman0858 I highly suggest that you do your research and think about your power goals because the ct26 will not give you 500hp no matter what. I think the max a ct26 will give you is about 380whp if that.
I thank all you guys for your input after doing my own research and after reading this thread I figured out what can be done and what cant be done with the CT26 and when I read Lexus AFM on a 1jz I never heard of that on a 7M yes but on a 1j I dont think so but I think I got the anwser to my ? I need something bigger than a ct2657 for he power I wanna make because if im going single I wanna be able to make at least 500whp so it would be a waste of time and money to put the ct on my 1j if its not going to do what I want it to do so I'm going to take another route turbo wise. I was jus trying to be cheap and use the ct26 but know I see its worthless for what im trying 2 do. So thank you all for your input again..... I appreciate the info.
Another ? what would be a nice reliable turbo for the 1j that will make 500+ whp? Would the 550's be able 2 do that or i need bigger...

If your trying to save money, do some research on holset. They are found on cummins turbo diesels making them easy to find and relatively cheap. Theres a fair amount of guys running them, and theres a good chance I will when I get to that point. Hopefully some of the guys with them will chime in here.
IDK I might jus play around with the CT26 until I get my money up to buy my turbo upgradeand all the necessary parts like cams and adjustable cam gears computer upgrade and fuel system upgrade and a little head work done a 57trim ct might do for now while im running stock fuel system stock cams and stock computer cuz when I build my supra i want my shit done right with no half steps. Supras are known to be a beast on the streets all I want is 500whp for the street anything more than that it should be strictly for the track. All im trying to do is to gain as much experience from previous supra owners that have that beast so I can get some pointers of what 2 do and what not 2 do.

Then you have a cherry red turbine pumping out stupid hot temps causing more problems than the extra boost is worth...
Supraman0858;1482408 said:
This is a good idea. Your not gonna need the cams/cam gears to hit 500hp but otherwise you got the right idea. Trying to out run your wallet is a good way to blow things up.
EDIT: I'm thinking 7M...maybe you do need cams for the 1JZ, I cant answer that.

If you want any benefit from a 57 trim upgrade you gonna have to upgrade you fuel system, otherwise fuel cut will be your best friend. And dont go and buy a FCD trying to work around the fuel cut, you'll just blow something up. Look into lex/550s with safc or MAFT Pro if you want to break into the 300s safely. Spend some time in the Articles section, theres a thread about steps to take when modding.
As for 500 hp, get you car running right for now, and drive it. Some things you will learn easier with lower hp. Learn the car as you make it more reliable and then build it. You will learn more about the car mechanically as well as driving it, will be less likely to blow things up, and will save $$ in the long run.

I'll take all other claims as skreet lerned nollege as soon as I see proof of this stock 7MGE cranking out 480.
