Hi there! this is my first post on these forums, so I thought I would introduce myself... my name is Jase and im from Wellington, NZ. My car is an 88 Mk3 with a 1uz-fe & 5spd in place of the stock 1g-ge & auto :D

Wow! welcome friend, we dont' hear of many supras with 1g-ge's let alone 1uz fe's! Most people here from the states tend to only know the 7m, but hopefully there are some general toyota experts that can help you with the 1uz...I for one have no clue about that engine :)

Haha well the most common model here in nz would be the 2L 1g, or you can get the twin-turbo version of it. They are pretty dull engines... thankfully the 1uz gives the car plenty of grunt (mmm v8...)

Unsure about the power yet. Once I have some headers on it, it will be getting dyno tuned, so i'll find out then...

welcome to the board, liftback
clean supra and that engine looks like it belongs in there. good job on the install!
is that a narrowbody? with s14 wheels?
i like the way the whole thing comes together... looks stock, but it has its subtleties...

Narrowbody yep, and they are SW20 mr2 alloys. I wish I could take the credit for the install, but I brought it with the engine already in there (saved me the hassel of doing it myself - which had been planning to do). The only drawback to that is I dont know some things about the, like what gearbox is in it and whether they have retained the factory diff etc...

I only wish it was an aerotop too hehe
