Something simple that no one has mentioned yet.....check the codes the ECU is throwing. I had a laundry list of codes when getting to the point you're at in my project and it was extremely helpful to be able to go down the list and resolve each of the codes. Many of my issues ended up being...

I wouldn't be discouraged from doing the swap though. Maybe you are the first in the US? I remember lots of people came out of the woodwork when I tried to put down what number I would be with my MkIII Supra swap w/R154 here in the US (having realized many people outside of the US had already...

Are you sticking with the stock FD manual transmission to start off with? If so, I'd check out rx7club.com and see what numbers have been pulled with it. Single turbo 13b-rew engines have been pushing some outstanding numbers, just check to see what those guys are running for transmission...

Love the conversion! Sounds amazing in the video.

I've often thought about this same setup sans turbo for a bit now as my Supra conversion has been winding down and I look for another project. It is great to see someone else tackling this conversion! With a lighter body than a MkIV Supra and most likely cheaper rollers (engine-less bodies)...

Congrats on getting it buttoned up! Looking forward to some videos and more pictures, especially when all of you get together down there.

Wow :drool: You wouldn't happen to have the top picture in 1680x1050 would you?

I think I remember seeing that cap when I installed everything. I'll take a look at it as soon as I head back up. Thanks for the tip :)

I may have some bad news although it is still too early to tell. I visited the 1UZ Supra in its storage garage today to start it up and go through its warm up cycle and charge the battery since it is parked for the winter. I plan on doing this each month and this is the first full month (been...

I would love to have a 510 with one of these engines in it! Not only mount it low and back like Mark mentions but also tub out the rear too. As for the transmission, if you want to go manual, then you'll need an adapter of some kind to fit it up. Plenty of posts on here about the various...

With the Michigan winter quickly approaching (sleet can down this evening), the car will soon be garaged and the next stage of the project started during its long hibernation. After driving it as my daily driver since I put it on the road back in mid-August I have a new found respect for the...

Hmm, I may have to try that over the winter. With the ends being adjustable the variance in length from the additional bends should be taken up in these adjustments. Thanks for the idea!

Thanks for the information. I'm looking for a good set of staggered and dished 17" or 18" wheels. While the car may see a small amount of competition, it is more for show/street so the slightly soft Flex should be ok, they're still stiffer than most consumer non-coilover sets and give me the...

I'm looking at the Tein Flex for my coilover solution. I need something that has strut body adjustment as well as spring perch adjustment so I can get the car not only lowered by leveled out. It currently sits with the front a bit higher due to the lighter engine and most of the weight being...

Sweet! It's nice making connections between who is on Youtube and who is on here :) Excellent work Steve! Now it's time to tune it. Loved the bit of flame coming out :)

Strut tower bar. After my 1uz swap, mine would no longer fit so it is just sitting in a corner in the garage along with other various 7M-GTE parts. Are you sticking with the automatic or going with a 5spd? If the 5spd, which adapter are you using?

Check out this guy's project. Exhaust is similar to mine although he has a cat and baffle. A bit more subdued sounding but still excellent work. The video of him going down the street with open headers is also pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/user/brind0g

It's possible. I've seen pictures of a Metro with a V8 in it. This one has it in the front. The one I saw actually had it mounted in the back but I can't recall where I saw it at but I seem to recall it was in a magazine like Grassroots Motorsports or something related...

Clean work, love the look of the car and the interior! Looking forward to videos (I think you commented on mine over on youtube about the exhaust on my 1UZ Supra the other day).

Or maybe a separate piece to bolt into place, making easier to replace if it gets damaged.
