Stretch asked and no one answered, so I'll ask again. (let the flaming begin, 'cause I can take it) Why is his 1JZ upgrade not an upgrade? What is a turbo-A? I was under the illusion that just about everyone wanted a 1JZ. What made his original motor so special? Again, I apologize for the ignorance, but I'll never know if I dont ask.

A turbo A is special 7m like the Type R of the 7m supras it has little upgraded stuff here and there. I belive the cams and turbo and bigger TB a few other diffrences I just hope he didnt just throw that motor away Ive herd storys of people doing this and of JDM importers selling them not knowingly. the turbo A was just known for that 7M motor and he killed it

and the illusion that everyone wants a 1jz, is simply that, an illusion. i love the 7m, and i doubt i'll ever get a 1jz, unless one falls into my lap. that being said, this isn't a 7m vs 1jz thread, it's about how shamefull it is to take a relic such as a turbo A supra, and desicrate it by replacing it with a 1jz, or ANY motor for that matter.

I say we all call this stupid fucker up and tell him what he has done.
there was another thread and someone said bet there is only like 30 Turbo A supras left, welp make that 29.
bet the engine is roaming around in a junk yard.
hurry someone from aussyland give all the junk yards within a 100mile radius a call.

Ya, that was me who said there's only probbaly about 30 left :biglaugh: .
Just so everyone knows, I did know what a turbo A supra was, my original post was a shot at all the JZ guys who say it's much better than the 7M, so I asked what the big deal was when he replaced his outdated turbo-A 7M. He probably sold it to some guy for $200 and that guy couldn't get it to work, so he has it sitting in his garage.

What's the big deal guys, many of you have said 1JZ's are better than the feable 7m's anyway, so this is a wicked upgrade no? Ahahaha I wish he kept it 7m for sure tho. 7M for life!

i wasnt sure if you were kidding or not so......

ill ask you this, do you know how rare those cars are? thats not a standard 7m in that car either.
