I just happened to look on yahoo auctions japan and search for GZG50and a seller named nobuhide7777 has a1gzfe engine with flex plat and harness (just what I would need) for around $700 USD. As far as what it would cost to get it hear and how I would even do that I have no idea. But there are...

I have not delt to much with the 4WD Toyota truck stuff. As far as I have seen the trucks had a seprate front axle. If there was a version that had the front diff built into the engines oil pan what was it in? Do you have any pics, maybe its something we diden't get over hear.

I also have the advantage of working in a machine shop/ fabrication plant of over 300,000 square feet and 300 employes. I am one of two night shift machine repair technicians and I have in the past worked as a machineist for over 7 years. There's only around 40 operators on night shift so I...

I was thinking that chopping the diff section out of the RB26 oil pan and then welding it in to the 1GZ pan or building a new pan for the 1GZ might be easyer in the long run then trying to use the hole RB pan. That's not that bid of deal to make. It would be nice to keep the front diff the...

Who besides me feels like they need to go clean there engines every time they check this build.

Before I say anything about what I am thinking of trying let me just state that YES I am crazy, I know it it would be a huge money pit and it might not even work. Now on to the wackiness that is my brain. I am considering trying to swap the oil pan or part of the oil pan from a RB26DETT on to...

Before I swaped my supra from 7m-ge to 1uz I ran the stock header with no cat. I welded up a custom pipe that replaced the cat and ran down under the fire wall and back about 8 inches. Welded a flange on that and bolted up a 28 inch long 2.25 inch thrush tube glasspack and welded a 90 degree...

Just incase you or others find this helpfull. It depends on if you are still useing the stock engine management or stand alone. I have my 1uz running on mega squirt. I did install the stock IAC unit on the inlet to the supercharger. How ever I have not yet gotten it to work with the mega...

I will have to take my Whipple twin screw super charger off my supra in the next few weeks to check it out. It seemed to be making odd noises like it has a bearing going bad. If that's the case then I have to chose between rebuilding it and upgrading it. I currently have the 1600AX 1.6L and...

I have been looking for headers for 2 years and the best option I have found looks to be the IMF stainless steel headers. They look like they are almost as compact as the stock 1992 SC400/Soarer headers I have been using. I have a 1992 SC400 engine in my LHD 1987 MA70 supra. I have the JZA70...

I could also get the Lextreme regrind stage 2 FI cams the lextreme springs and the lextreme retainers for about the same price as the kelford cams. This may be the best option for the money. Some things I have heard in the past in the VW world tell me that regrind cams are a bad idea. But...

I have spent days reading and searching the info on cams, valve springs retainers, shim over/under bucket, shimless buckets and now I am even more confused then I was before. I am planning on ordering a set of Kelford 207-S1 supercharged cams. Kelford says that these cams should work with the...

I am looking to get rid of the crappy restrictive stock sc400 headers. I am thinking of something along the lines of 4 to 1 stainless steel shorty headers that are as close to a drop in replacement for the SC400 headers. However I suck at welding so fabbing headers myself is not my first...

I have had to remove the R154 from my 1UZ 3 or 4 times over the last 3 years. The top 2 bell housing bolts are tricky to reach but other then that its not bad with jacks under the front 2 corners. Clutch change last spring took about 2 hours. W58 is smaller and lighter then my R154, should be...

I used the COPs off a 99 I30 / maxima VQ35DE. Got 10 of them with plugs at the junk yard for $40. They are 3 pin with internal ignitors. There is a good chance your coils have bulit in ignitors. You can test them if you can find out what pins are 12v feed and ground. The other pin is trigger...

http://www.marlincrawler.com/transfer-case/parts-upgrade/vehicle-speed-sensor-mci i got one of these to use in my supra digi dash swap. you may need a pulse rate tuner like this http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm?ptype=product&product_id=126&mode=prod&prd126.htm

I have now finished the add on pulley for the crank and a new drive mandrel for the Whipple. The add on is attached to the stock crank pulley using a custom hub. The Whipple drive mandrel is a standard 1 inch so as to be compatible with pulleys of varying tooth count. The crank is a 54 tooth...

I had good luck using the cop coils off the maxima / i30 vq30de engine on my 1uz swaped supra. I am running MS2 and am also boosted, only difference is its supercharged. I got a dozen of the at the local pick and pull for $50 with the harness parts. Simple 3 wire 5v TTL to ground type. They...

After talking to one of the hodrod guys at work looks like the simplest way is to add a HTD pulley to the front of the crank pulley and run a deadacated belt just for the whipple. I have finished drawing up a hub/puck that will bolt the new HTD pulley to the inside ring of the stock...

there pulleys look nice but I don't have the time or money to spend on shipping back and forth around the world. I have some of the new pulleys that i plan on using already. I have a 3" wide aluminum 54 tooth, a 30mm wide steel 22 tooth and a 30mm wide steel 24 tooth. The 22 tooth is for the...
