Wsup SupraMania peeps!

I'm usually on celicasupra.com so heres original posts
http://www.celicasupra.com/forums/showthread.php?64698-85-P-type-DriftMotion-1jz-swap

Im a new member here and I got to say that i've learned alot lurking around other ppl's post's lol. So i want to share what's going down with my supra.



After weeks of researching and reading other ppl's experience with different motors and so on. I've decided to go with the overshadowed 1j with the help of Aaron @ Driftmotion.com - a well known vendor with great reviews here on SupraMania.


Been dealing with Aaron for the past month or so about the 1j swap into my 85 p-type supra.

So far everything is going as planned, Aaron is an easy going guy with an amazing ability to multitask. Seriously, this dudes phone rings non-stop! And still manages to do his thing around the shop!


While waiting for his current projects to finish, I made final decisions on items that Im going with.




List: All products and Labor done at DriftMotion

1Jz-gte
New
-Water pump
-Timing Belt
-Rear Main Seal
-Front Main Seal
-Valve Cover gasket
-Leak-Down test
-Basically a well inspected engine
R-154
Action Stage 3, 6 puck disk Clutch Kit
FMIC 2.5inch
1jz lightweight Flywheel
3" Aluminum Driveshaft
Ditching the twins from the start and jumping on a 57Trim/.58 AR Single Turbo Kit (some may think its a bit small, but im going for Fast SPOOL!)
Walbro Fuel pump
3" Catless exhaust system w/resonator & dual tip muffler
Custom DwnPipe

Future WHP Goal ~ 450ish.

HAHAHA that's an awesome video! I just saw this thread today! Be carefull on the streets though :O

Keep in mind that's only 12psi on stock fuel injectors, stock ECU, with our 57 trim turbo, O-trim exhaust wheel, and .58AR exhaust housing. It will have even more awesomeness at about 17psi with some 440cc injectors.

Here are a few more pics of the swap. Angelo wanted a stock-ish looking exhaust, so we made something from scratch:

It's also got our 3" aluminum driveshaft with our custom 1310 u-joint flange on the MK2 differential:

Custom front mount IC kit came out really nice:

This car even has the AC all hooked up! :)
Thanks for coming to us to do your swap Angelo! I really like your car, we honestly enjoyed this project very much!
