Well a drunk driver drove into the shop where my supra was and totaled it. i will have pics later but anyways I want to start over. I just dont know which way to go. Should I get a 7m or import a jza70 ttr? I have all the aftermarket parts for an awsome 7m but I really like the ttr. I guess what I am wondering is if the 1jzgte is impossible to get performance parts for. I would like to make about 400-450 rwhp. If anyone has any opinions I would really appreciate it
thanx

You should search around and no its not impossible to find aftermarket parts, your horsepower goal is very attainable with a single 1jz.

well if you get a TTR have fun getting it street legal. You are better off just swapping one in on a USDM car. But it suck what happened to your car. I can't even imagine someone running in to a building and hitting a car inside.

all together sucks!


the ttr you will have problems getting platesd for it, along with a title and tags, it wont pass emissions in cali either.


so you can do a couple things, purchase the TTr and purchase a n/a or turbo usdm modle and swap every last part that makes the TTr special, or

through all the money you would dump into the TTr swap and make a bad ass 7m thats fully rebuild with a 65mm T4 turbo.. 4inch exhaust and so on..

450 horsepower with a 1jz? It'll never happen.

Good luck with your 7m build though, and too bad about your car.

....He drove into the shop and into your car...sure he was drunk and not high on crack?:aigo:

If you already have 7m HP parts why do the swap to a 1jz? Are you getting big bank from his insurance or something? I guess you could sell your parts for 1jz funds...Or donate them to me:sarcasm:

find another supra in good shape and stay 7m since you already have the parts for a good one. atleast thats what i would do. 1jz would be nice though but i like the 7m :)

I will put up pics tonite. Is that the only hard part about registering a ttr is the smog cuz I have a smog guy who passes my cars without even taking them there.

Unless you have some really good reason to want an RHD Supra, you'd be better off swapping a 1J into another US Supra.
