Need help with 1.5jz build
- Thread starter suprahero
- Start date
All I did was launch it hard one time. I never get on my car in first gear because of tire spinnage, but I did at the track with my drag radials on and it didn't like it. I've launched it hard before and all that ever happened was the tires slipping. Last night the transmission decided to take a summer vacation.

NP Jay, the 3.73 gearing would suffice.

and N/A MKIV's are for people that can't have the real Supra 6 speed :sarcasm:

That really, really sux. But hurray for you going back to auto.
Now I thought the only difference between an TH350 and TH400 was the 400 had an electric kickdown and the 350 is hydraulic, and they both are a 3 speed. Now I've had plenty of experience with old GM's and 350's are bullet proof. I had a 67 Olds Delmont with a 425 ci and a 3 speed TH400 and I don't recall a line pressure cable but some electical gizmo that controlled downshifts. Somebody 'splain this too me.
You mention 3.91's, plural. You have some lying around your house???? Mines growling a little bit.
V's car is extremely more awesomer now with the painted trim. Excellent.
Bummer for both you guys. I was hoping for some good supra on supra vids. Good luck with going back to auto. Totally sucks about the clutch problem why can't things just be simple?
btw Cars look great in the photo's.:love:

Thanks for the info Ken, and you're right, they're both three speeds. I guess I'm going with the 350 since the 400 weighs more and is a little bit of overkill. Shawn at Best Transmissions is a great guy to talk with and very very knowledgeable. He's practically given me a step by step of what to do, who to call, and anything else I needed. The only problem is, everyone I call is already closed for the july 4th vacation. I hate waiting on anything, but I have to wait for over a week now.gtsfirefighter;1065831 said:

I don't know why they insist on tearing up all the time George. I have a three year old F150 and a nine year old Oldsmobile Alero that I've never touched a wrench to, and I've wore three sets of wrenches out working on the supras.........:biglaugh:

What about those diffs?
It does suck having to wait. So what kind of torque converter will you use? Will it have lock-up capabilites?

saw your other thread, seems like th350 is the right one for you. well unless the 400 or 700r is easy to get.
really going all out now with a auto trans and all. should be promising to see this come together. almost tells you to go all crazy motor wise I would think.

My motor should be good to go for many many years. I just rebuilt it. The next thing I buy if I don't like the way this feels will be a larger turbo for the automatic. Hopefully I won't need one for a while but you never can tell..........:evil2:
I've seen probably all the vids you posted of you racing and seen many threads. I think you'll be going for more, at least thats how I see it. I mean shit gm auto with freshly running 1.5jz... I think theres far more to come.
I will tell you this. If I do get another turbo, I'm saving up for a larger gt series. The Garrett gt series turbos are awesome. I talked to Shawn today and he was bragging on his gt40 and I don't think I'll ever need anything that large, but maybe a little larger than the 35r.
