Nah....not yet. Going to have this guy I know..he has a white Supra... help me out with it with I get my parts in.
Yea, for sure! If ya'll need another helper or spectator, let me know! My schedule is crammed for the next 2 weeks, but after that, I'm off Saturday through Monday.
Cool. I'm off on weekends, and pretty much anytime after 3:30 weekdays. I may have to drag my son with me since my wife started up her new job. Just let me know when you're ready.
whitehat, where do you work? I think I remember you telling us, but I forgot. You mentioned you car not overheating anymore. What did you do different to stop the problem? Have you been looking for another 7m to rebuild. It might be worth your while to look and see what some members on these forums are selling as far as 7m already rebuilt.

Well, I replaced the radiator and water pump and I'm keeping an eye on the coolant level, topping it off every night. It uses coolant but doesnt overheat or run funny. Yes, I'm looking, I'm workin on scraping pennies together for another 7M
2jzge-t you can buy them with ecu for $400 and use your 7mgte harness to run it. A buddy of mine did that with his cressy and that thing moves. Vvti has some crazy low end torque.
Hmmmmmm...... *rubs chin* And that would work with my current W58 until I got an R134... Good idea!
Yes, I have a gimpy Slowpra. I'm considering just fixing the head gasket and swapping a 1JZ in the spring...
Yeah the head gasket would be a easy fix. All you need is a felpro gasket and arp bolts. And 5-6 hrs. Should be easier on a n/a. Since there is no turbo.
Yep, hopefully I shall do it soon

When a JDM 1JZ is cheaper than a JDM 7MGTE, that should be a sign I'm guessing lol

Ok, nevermind, it's not cheaper lol

1jz from a jza70 is what you need. Around 2k you get engine, flywheel, mounts, r154 tranny. And the harness is pretty easy to wire.
Awesome, come income tax time, I can do that. And my engine (nonturbo) has 160k and is pretty tired but still has plenty of getupandgit... i can't imagine how a JZ would be... What exhaust do you recommend? Also, is it worth the extra money to get a VVT-i motor?
Ah HAH! Egg in my face lol what exhaust are you using or considering using? Or are you the one doing a swap? I forget, sorry lol
Using my old hks drager. It's nice and quite.
You can go vvti you would just have to piece it together. I don't think it comes with a r154 but I could be wrong.
Yeah I'm going 2jzgte.

The supra was stolen again guys.....it was parked on the street since it didn't even run and I've been keeping the Lexus in the garage. Battery was dead, and no BOV (would that prevent it from running?) and it was locked up tight.
I didn't even hear it the mother fuckers had to have towed it...
I'm done with the car it has cost me way too much money. Between recovering it and repairing issues I never even upgraded it. I hope whoever it is gets caught of course but I won't be actively trying to recover the car like last time
RIP :'(
I'm definitely moving. I've had multiple cars broken into, my house was robbed of ALL of my electronics and valuables (did I tell y'all about that? everything was recovered though) and the supra stolen twice fuck this place
I definitely will do another JZ build in the next year or so but idk what shell I'm gonna use. I was thinking maybe a 280z?? s13/s14? 2JZ or keep it 1JZ? opinions/ideas?
And I quit my job, I did not like working at that dealership at all. Anyone know of dealerships hiring or any job opportunities? I can do IT work, sales, auto
Well that's my update. Just realized I asked a lot of questions lol. I'm glad to see everyone elses builds comin along. If anyone needs help hit me up.

Hi guys I'm new to the supra scene on san Antonio. I've had mine about 4 months now just trying to work out the bugs before I start looking for mode. That sux bro you got to get your self some mean dogs and a piece to keep those thieves away. Any one know of any good mechanics in s.a I'm finding it hard to get some questions answered.
