    1UR Engine

    amazing, the engine block is in 2 pieces just like mazda's KL series engines. The camshaft housing is pretty cool too, looks like a strong assembly made to handle a lot of stress. say "thank you direct injection" for the 11.8 comp ratio, the pre-ignition problems are reduced a lot.

    Soarer road test - 300 KM drive at full pelt

    75L for 300km @ 170km/h? something's wrong with your car. the harshiest fuel consumption i could achieve with my SC400 was 15L/100km, and that was hard city driving only.

    Smashed my SC400

    I'M getting a JDM half cut, for the same price i'll have a free engine, 2 airbags and 1 Airbag module. If i can get a 98+ JDM front end with a VVTI 1JZ i,ll use it and swap the engine. But those VVTI half cut are kinda rare. yes i tought about the body kit, it'd be a very good time to put one...

    Smashed my SC400

    moved the car today to the storage. Engine runs ok, no damage, even if the battery was crushed, it still has full power! The frame looks nice, nothing moved. I need a new passenger door, driver's door is ok. and of course, need a hole new front end. Right now i'm trying to know if it's...

    anyway if this engine has to go in a boat, the only thing you need to drive with the crank pulley is the water pump and alternator right?

    I do, when i think about a "free" 1JZ with some BPU and 100RWHP more than stock V8 ;) car will have a new paint job too. those things happens, even if i'd cry, the car wouldn't have fixed by magic.

    Smashed my SC400

    hummm, just forgot that JDM models are RHD. I can use the steering airbag but i won't be able to use the passenger one. Could it be hard to find a non-blown Air bag for my car?

    Smashed my SC400

    Here are some pictures, the car doesn't seem to have that much damage because we can't see the bended rails and front end. Doors are also a little damage but i think a good bodywork guy can bring them back to perfect condition. if it was not of the car, i would have stopped on the grass or...

    Smashed my SC400

    I'm not insured for my own damage. so, unless somebody else is declared responsible for the accident, I'm the one to blame because I crossed the double line. Well, the police was kinda troubled on how it would be classified but the blame should be on me. so, i won't get a penny to fix this...

    OK, here's what happened yesterday. i was at a Supra meet and we were cruising on a small road with a lot of corners. speed limit 70km/h. there was a very very tight corner (25km/h) but there's no sign the way we were to indicate how much tight the corner is, there's only a sign for people...

    Smashed my SC400

    Long story, but i smashed my SC today. I'll need a hole new front clip (with airbags) I was wondering if there are guys here with 1JZ soarers? and how do the car feels about low end power and city launches? does the 1J have enough low-end spool to counter the heavy weight of the car? Were...

    Richwood Technologies Supercharger Manifold

    does it comes with a gasket or you uses liquid gasket between the manifold and the plate? Quite a nice piece of work indeed!

    SC400 Performance

    yes, the vibrations are exactly the same as yours, when the engine is cold. I also have a little engine vibration when i release the gas on highway cruises. The torque converter always turns when the engine turns since it's bolted to the flywheel wich is bolted directly on the engine...
