If you can I would adapt the Getrag 6 speed from the TT Supra MKIV to the 1uz. With a Tilton Clutch or RPS Carbon on Carbon Clutch it will hold all the power/tq the 3037's can make.

The 3037's would work fine on the 1uz. You won't get the best response since they are larger turbos but they make enough power to keep you happy. I have a feeling your friend switched back to the 2835's due to lag issues with the 3037's since the Supra is a 3 liter engine. With a 4 liter...

I wouldn't mind doing a swap into a mkiv supra body with the 1uz mated to a getrag 6-speed. What I really wouldn't mind is building something along the lines of the F40 silhouette. Instead of the F40 body though I'd probably implement a JGTC supra body of some sort. I would do this only...

You should do some research over at supraforums. This has been discussed in great detail where two individuals in Australia tried the two different sized turbos idea. Also for sequential turbos the only successful attempt by an aftermarket company has been RPS aka turboclutch.com There's was...

Also bar and plate is more durable when used as a FMIC. I voted for FMIC but that is only because I'm into roadracing rather than just drag.

Posted by BlownV8 Also, try to stay away from box style end tanks with very high boost ( i dont know how much you plan to run ) as the welds can blow out. I doubt this would happen since the clamps/coupler connecting the intercooler and the piping would likely let loose before the welds...

Not a bad design and there should be less pressure drop with this type of design. I have seen intercoolers like these before but they were for LS1 turbo kits.

Why don't you get the Boost Logic upgraded tranny or the Sound Performance one? I'm not sure how much shipping those would be though. But to combat the fact that there is little low end grunt with the 2jz just get the good torque converter, high stall, and brake boost it.

You could try having your TPS checked out as well. In case you don't know thats the Throttle Position Sensor. Also you could try supraforums.com to see if there's an answer there for you.

Actually the engines are stroked to 5.2L and then restrictor plates are used to keep them at the 500hp limit in JGTC.

That is true that alot of torque can be quite dangerous in the rain but to remedy this all you have to do is exercise a little restraint when pressing the throttle. Yeah at times it can be hard to do, but once you spin that first time you'll learn. Just hopefully there is no physical damage...

I'll have to find a link that shows the setup. I've seen plenty of actual film showing this and have friends here in southern california that have run a setup without wastegates, but eventually they install wastegates in order to avoid premature turbo failure. A bypass valve could be used...

The only problem with the variable vane turbos is the fact that running them in a gasoline engine can shorten their lives greatly. The amount of heat produced by a gasoline engine is much higher than those found on a diesel engine. That is why these turbos are primarily used on diesels only...

Well the Chevy engine small block they used is a 6.0 liter. I wonder if they plan on making a twin turbo kit for the 2uz.

Not sure if any of you have seen this site, but the turbo configuration is quite interesting. http://www.bankspower.com/twin-turbo-products.cfm It's basically for the chevy V8 at the moment but on the site I noticed that there are parts for the Tundra so perhaps they may make a turbo kit for...

2UZ is the engine found in Toyota SUV's and the Tundra. What I want to know is how much the 2UZ weighs. I have access to a fully built one but they never weighed it. I want to know how much more than the 1uz this engine weighs. Does anyone know?
