new years eve was good... then i heard yesterday my cousin that lives in the US died :( dunno the whole story yet, something involving a gun though :(
on the supra front, im trading the autometer elec water temp gauge for a dual 60mm pod from tte, so ill probably keep the DC water temp gauge and live unit, and just buy a DC II boost gauge.

soo im buying some nice 225/50/r16 hankook tires on monday. should be pretty interesting. list is 180 a tire, but since i work for a dealership i get them for 108 a tire.. so ill let u guys know how they work out. i think they are the h405's? somethign along that line.

01-03-2006, 05:12 PM
stock wheels? or stock width wheels? if so, get 245s if you can. i have hankook ventus k104s 275/40/17 for the rear of my supra, nicely built, dunno how they handle yet though.

i ran 245 on the back it's ok the biggest i whould ever put on
255 whould amke your speedo off
255 is to big 245 is your choice
i ran 245 for bit then swaped to 225 cause it did nto help tration very much over the 225 plsu it looked better the the 225's

Eh....you sure about that? The width shouldn't make a difference to the speedo...a taller tire/bigger wheel would obviously
islandsupra
01-04-2006, 02:29 PM
I think he might mean on a sawblade... I don't think you can put a 255 on a sawblade unless it's at least a 50 series tire. The overall diameter/height would be more than an inch taller than the stock 225/50/16 setup, but that's only about a 5% speedo error.
I'm not sure just how much tire height makes a difference, but I gained like 0.1" in diameter when I put on 225/45/17 over stock and I noticed even that helps me clear some bumps easier than when I had the sawblades on.
There's a pretty cool wheel/tire comparison and calculator website that has gearing and fitment here:
http://gs.tolan-hoechst.com/tirecalc.htm
I think 225s will still be enough for me for some time... i just need some damn spacers for them, or at least for the fronts. oh well, still better than the sawblades!
arturiusma7
01-04-2006, 05:16 PM
yea i just meant the balloon look on the stock rims. oh well. its all ordered. going to get mounted up on monday :)
NashMan
01-04-2006, 09:06 PM
well see teh wide tire you put on smaller rim cause it to ballon this cause the tire to be even higher
see i have 235 45 up fornt stock fit and 255 40 in the rear witch makes it eh same hight as the front
remmber your tire are gears to the taller they are the faster you go
7 inc has fitment of 225 so adding a 245 withc only really come's in 50 sires cause it gay as 16
now adding 255 50 sire whould be just huge
245 50 sire is liek 1 inc taller 255 will be about 1 3/4 taller
these are rough guess but i bet you they are just about dead on
in the end buy 225 front and if you really want wider tire int eh back go to a 245 max
but if you find a set of 235 50 sire i whould give them a go but that pretty hard fucken size to find
arturiusma7
01-04-2006, 09:20 PM
they make 245/45r16's i can buy them if i want... plenty of companies make that size
Paradox
01-05-2006, 12:22 AM
245's on sawblades? i'd go 235 max. infact i think im going back down to 225 in the rear just for more stability, traction be damned.
NashMan
01-05-2006, 11:02 AM
well it up to you the more they are balooned the the less contack you have on the road in less you air down tire
like i do with my 255 when i am at the track
so it's up top you you know what will happen

hp ball park is
250 to 300 hp and 300 to 400 turq
in car that is 2780 is not bad
and she is closey gear so this whould be great 1/8 mile car
in 1/4 mile i think it may run out of gearing
alot fo the v8 rx7s get about very low 13 or 12's with tration
this car will all so have ho;lly duble pumper on it as well as 150 shot of the funny stuff can do 250 but really that is to much
any ways put the word out caus ie want the moey for the supra

hankook h405's 225/50/r16. it was raining pretty damn good tonight so it hought it would be a good time to test them out.. defiantely a big improvement over my pilot xgt's. car still slide out as soon as the turbo hit, but had muuuch more control.. definately could tell what it was going to do.. didnt slide as easy.. but still none the less.. i want it to be dry so i can test them some more... but that wont be for anuther month or so :s

Hey just wondering if there's anyone on the lower island that's done a 1jz gte swap into their mk3. I told you guys a little while aog that i thought i'd spuna bearing and needed that replaced...well it turns out i did spin a bearing and it ruined the crank and connecting rod. So for a rebuild the top end and bottem en will need to be redone and $$$. I don't have the skills/tools to do a proper rebuild so i'd have to pay shop prices :(
Supraforums has a really good section on everything you need to do a swap but i was just wondering if there is anyone locally that has experience with it cause i'm sure that couldn't hurt. Right now i'm trying to find a front clip for sale. I have a few friends who are mechanics so we should have a problem doing a swap but i just thought i'd see if anyone was interested in helping out.
I'll keep you posted on progress, also if anyone can recommend where to get and engine, i've only been able to find one place so far.
cheers

i dunno how much he is willing to help, but get ahold of randy at bicperformance. he lives on the mainland, but he did do the swap and actually does the install at his shop if u wanted him too.. and i think he sources out his own clips so.. can try and get ahold of him :)
islandsupra
01-09-2006, 10:16 PM
yeah that's probably a decent place to start. his website is www.bicperformance.com
but I don't think the swap itself is that hard, moreso just sourcing all the small parts you will need and dealing with the wiring harness.
NashMan
01-10-2006, 12:02 AM
i chould swap it in for yae reall y the biggest thing you will need is montes if you car is per89
but yae i thik going to get some better tires for the supra i am thinking perlie right now stroung ass side wall compaired to teh mx's
but i think the rx7 will loook funny 235 for the front is fine but a 255 on 7 inc rim should look pretty funny all be better for gas milage
Supra90T
01-10-2006, 06:23 AM
Like ryan already said....if pre-89 the mounts are an issue - There are specific ones out there made for it, otherwise go custom and rig it up
That and the wiring are the 2 biggest pains of the whole ordeal....There are many 1J mk3's out here, but now 2J is the common thing to do since jdm 2jzgte's w/ harness & ecu go for 800-1000 bucks
fletch
01-10-2006, 07:36 AM
Thanks guys
with the 2jz though, how hard is it to mount in a mk3/ will it meet up to a mk3 tranny?
NashMan
01-10-2006, 09:53 AM
the 2j can but fab in to a mk3
it bolts the same way a 1j does cetp you got to get bellhousing from importer there place in van that can get them
most poeple use the 1j ecu some use the 2j ecu
really if i say my word is the 1jz is waste of tiem 2.5 vs 3 liter 7m
NashMan
01-10-2006, 09:55 AM
2j are still freaking exp like 3500 to 4000 for motor pending on milage and if it is jdm cause the jdm one were slower then the us one's
Enraged
01-10-2006, 03:32 PM
i think randy offers custom mounts to bolt a 1jz into a pre89 subframe, doesnt he?
personally i would go with the 1jz over the 2jz, primarily for the costs involved. if you go 1jz, you should be able to make a dent in the cost by parting out all of your 7m parts that are still good.
as for the displacement issue, its kindof up in the air i think. there are several guys running around with basic mods on the stock 1jz turbos putting out more horsepower AND torque than a similar 7m.
if my 7m ever spins a bearing im goin to sell the car and get an sc300/400 and do the 1jz swap into there :)
Supra90T
01-10-2006, 04:04 PM
Personally I prefer the 7M over the 1J....I know a few local 1J's that are big twins or big single and they honestly haven't impressed me at all...
And Ryan...JDM 2J's here are 800-1000 bucks. The turbos are ceramic and don't put out as much power but other than that...same thing, just gotta make sure it's not an aristo one because they're front sump
But with that said, usually go big single anyways if you go 2J since it's more than a task to get the stock twins to fit in an mk3
fletch
01-10-2006, 04:50 PM
So you guys don't think there's rally and advantage to going with th 1j? I was thinking before that losing half a litre probably wasn't a good idea but i've seen that lots of ppl have done it on the supra forums and they go quick..i dunno i guess i just haven't seen a lot of builds for the 7m. The 1j does come stock with more power so that also makes it seem like a better option. I dunno, now i'm kind of wavering between a replacement 7m(easier) or a more powerful 1j. If you guys have opinions that would be helpful. I guess if it's going to cost waay more for a 1j then i could spend that same money on a 7m and build it a bit. Whaddya think?

yup:)
My views are that the 1jz is a great engine, yes it is less displacement but it was the replacement in 89 for the 7m and it was an updated/ more efficient engine so that's one of the reasons why it puts out more hp.
My only reserves on the 1j are that unless you are mechanically incluned goodluck at finding service options, allthough parts are not too hard to find just pricey.

Running off the chart rich under boost(below 9:1) at 15psi with an intake, 2.75" exhaust w/ cat, lex afm and stock fpr to 45psi(crushed it too much) I dynoed 261rwhp & 350tq
After tuning(got an safc), 3" turboback exhaust and 20ish psi, I was without a doubt in the 320-330rwhp range just based on the way I pulled other cars...And well over 400tq
Just because the 1J comes stock with more power doesn't mean its better. Simply put...It's 1/2 a liter less displacement and has a bumped up powerband - When you actually look at it, it revs higher but it also spools later...So the 2 offset themselves really
Also with a 7M you can just throw an upgraded CT on for pretty cheap and it'll support up to 450rwhp....with the 1J, you have to go full big single/big twins to do that...And that's after factoring in it's tiny injectors, wiring hassles etc etc.
PS the 1J's on SF don't go quick. I've seen one run a fast time and that's it...It also happens to be a big single, not stock twins. Everybody just jumps on the bandwagon there because they don't maintain their 7M's properly and think that they won't be able to blow up a 1J from not putting oil in it, with few exceptions
fletch
01-10-2006, 07:26 PM
Hey thanks for all the input guys, putting a 7m back in does make a lot of sense, it'll take less time and fabrication for sure and from what you guys have said it's probably a better anyways as long as it's maintained...unlike the one i'll be pulling(whoever rebuilt the engine um well...forgot to but a bolt back on one of the connecting rod caps :stupid: :high: )
I guess i'll be looking for a low milage 7mgte now so any recommendations on where to look?

but 7m over 1j any day of the week cause all that holds back the 7m is rpm but you can rasie it i know for fact you cna get the 7m to rev 8 k easy cause really the heads just don't flow liek 1j or 2j
but yae build a 7m it's cheeper int eh long run
i hope to push 550+ this summer

Paradox
01-10-2006, 11:24 PM
should hold far more than your needs if you're only aiming for 350.
islandsupra
01-10-2006, 11:48 PM
a stock clutch sould hold that... but I'm guessing you want to upgrade the clutch now for future power goals??
Everyone used to say the spec stg.3 was awesome - now some people apparently having problems with them too. I had one but I sold it before I ever installed it so I dunno. I guess it depends on how much money you want to spend on a clutch and how much power you want to hold.
NashMan
01-11-2006, 05:43 AM
center froce suck's ballz sack
they do even use the weights on our cars so there is no point on even thinking centerfroce cause that is there thingy to in cress teh pp power
i like act since there is now wide rang off power this clutch can hold
stock street is like 400 turq holind or so
mated with the brozen hpf you got 700 turq hold
hpf feramic is liek 700 plus
so that is why i like act
maxx persure plates are good as well there some what li9ek act

A buddy of mine, some of you know as SuprAng on SF is making probably about 400rwhp and had no problem holding the power on a completely stock clutch...stock fuel pump too for that matter :p
I'm not a big fan of the brand name clutches, I'll be needing a stronger clutch when the car comes out and I'm gonna get it custom made at a place called Eurodrive here in TO for 400-500ish(pressure plate + disk)...Need it to be good for over 700rwhp anyways

damn 400-500 for a 700 rwhp clutch and pp.. that seems cheap... damn u toronto people! and thats so stupid to hear that the centerforce for our cars dont even use the weights lol... yea its more just a want to upgrade for the future so i dont hae to worry about it.. thats what im doing right now.. get it ready for basically whatever i wanna throw at it... standalone ecu in a couple months, then its time to think about the clutch, or doing the metal headgasket... plus id like to get a clutch able to take the abuse of slipping it on the strip...

I've got the ACT clutch, i don't know what one, probably the street. The last owner installed it. I like it and it grabs a bit quicker than the stock ones i test drove. Grabs nice and hard and it's not super hard to press down like some bmw's that i drove.

So i'm gonna go ahead witha rebuild after all and keep the 7m. Going to throw in a mhg and i'm thinking about arp head studs. Anyone have a preference for metal head gasket? I was thinking of ordering 1.2mm or 2mm mhg from HKS.
Just want to get er done so I can drive it again, i've been driving my gf's sundance lately and it jsut doesn't boost the same:p
I'd like to meet people on the island with supras; ever since I bought mine i've started to notice lots of them. It would be cool if we could set up a meet closer to summer when people are finished their winter projects.

You wouldn't use a 2mm instead of a 1.2mm unless there was a reason....The thicker the HG, the lower your compression will be.
I run a 1.4mm titan motorsports one, but my head & block were both machined a good amount and I still have over 9:1 comp with it

I wouldn't worry about that...Our stock ignition system is fine for the power goals you have in mind - It's a hell of alot better than either the 1J or 2J setup, that's for sure...Just make sure to choose the right plug and gap it right :)

i might get set of msd coils and 2 box's off a guy on supra maina so that be pretty pimp if i can

01-23-2006, 02:59 PM
details?
islandsupra
01-23-2006, 04:20 PM
what details?
They are fibreglass and MDF, they replace the map pockets - no modification required just unscrew the map pocket and screw/bolt these on. They are sealed nicely and about 0.3 cu.ft each... great for a 6.5" component woofer driver or will even work wonders for a 2-way or what have you.
The midbass clarity and response is much MUCH cleaner and deeper with your woofers/speakers in a sealed enclosure than a free-air/baffled. It did wonders for my set-up.
BUT I am going to start selling stuff from my car, and I am definitely going to try and get rid of the supra. These won't up the value of the car at all but they cost me a lot of money.
150 bucks and you can have them... or else I'll put them up on supraforums in the next few days.
EDIT: here's a picture I just took. They have cutouts for the doorlight, molded to fit under the dash fine, don't interfere with the clutch and the glovebox opens fine with the door closed.
http://www3.telus.net/joseph99/supra/speaker.jpg
One more thing I forgot, these were really built for a 3-way component system, which is what I have right now in my car up front. 6.5" in this enclosure, 4" in stock spot and 1" tweets in the pillars.
For the right price I can include my CDT Audio CL-643 component set and Sat-Net 4th order elliptical crosovers :)

F it, I'll give you guys first dibs on my gauges/pillar pod too if anyone wants.
Autometer black-faced gauges and a black lotek triple gauge pod. I also have 2 autometer gauge cups.
Guages are boost, a/f, egt, water temp. and oil pressure. I have the sensors for everything, but no nylon hose for the boost gauge (you can buy them at lordco or wherever for a few bucks).
Not sure how much to ask, depends if someone wants them all or just a few or w/e. Again... if nobody here wants them in the next few days I'll post them up everywhere else. Just givin you local yahoos first dibs.

these are the codes for a '90 anyways, i had them all along.

Pin 3 - Grey - Accessory Power (i.e. on when key is turned to ACC)
Pin 4 - Blue and Yellow - Permanent Power
Pin 5 - Blue - Front Left Speaker
Pin 6 - Violet - Front Right Speaker
Pin 7 - Brown - Earth
Pin 8 - Black and Red - Antenna Control Relay (unsure of purpose)
Pin 9 - Pink and Blue (lovely) - Antenna Control Relay (unsure of purpose)
Plug B
Pin 1 - Red - Rear Right Speaker
Pin 2 - Black - Rear Left Speaker
Pin 3 - White - Rear Right Speaker
(No wire on pins 4 or 5)
Pin 6 - Yellow - Rear Left Speaker

Just hard with time constraints... and worst time possible because I just semi-finished moving into a new place and still don't have a lot of my stuff over here.
But I'll get it fixed soon enough, I don't mind walking for a little bit either :)

So I went down to the shop today where my engines being done so I could figure out what thickness mhg to order. When i was there i had a look at my turbo because the afm was off and there's a chip on one of the blades!!! i'm not really sure how it happened, i'm assuming it's been like that since before i got it because i haven't noticed a difference in power. Anyways now i'm thinking i need to be looking for a new turbo so i was going to seek out come advice from people on the board here. I'm considering going for a 62-1 ct-26 but i'm open to people's opinions and recommendations. What do you guys think?
...i also found out that my car didn't come with the claimed porsche BOV but instead an air return. I had just thought that the bov valve spring was maybe stuck. I figured out a little while ago, after i stopped driving it, that the turbo was surging....oh well i guess i need to fix that problem too.

i wouldnt get the 62-1, its just too big, and wont last long... nashman got a 57 trim, and it was a great upgrade over stock. not alot of extra lag, but a nice boost in power.

02-01-2006, 07:07 PM
I'm a big fan of the 60-1 ct personally
And a friend of mine locally pulled slightly on a 470rwhp car.
had a gt40 wheel in a ct26 @ 22psi on 102 octane
As long as it's built well and balanced properly...You can stuff a pretty big wheel in there

so how do those turbo's compare to the sp61gt?
vs. the 62-1 or 57 trim etc...
i'm trying to put into perspective the difference between them all.
The reason i ask is because i've got a sp61gt on the way.
NashMan
02-01-2006, 11:41 PM
man there is ton of turbo's out there so you really got to look at it this way what do you use your cr for and what do you want ti to drive like
as for upgrade ct26's it veries from wheel size to wheel size on what you plan to do with it
if you want the most trubo possible 62 to 1 has the most flow and will be the drag trubo combined wiht no2 you can get well inot the 500 rang of power at like 27 psi any more the no2 can not cool it no more
as for the 57 it the smallest one and the only small one i whould ever run i ran this one and lnew it whoudl have shot over 400 wiht this turbo and she has liek dick for lag i notice less when i built up my car wiht this turbo
i got 13.8 @111mph wiht eh 57 trim ct26 on stock fule
as for chipps inthe blade ummm really depends on how big it is and how muhc play you have in turbo

My goal is in the 400hp range, and i know this turbo is capable of it. Anything else that i get will be all bonus.:D

Yes it's easily capable of that...It's better than a CT upgrade in probably every category except for spool up...But given that it's bigger, that's to be expected anyways

and what stlye of intake to make short runnner or meduim runner
see befor i think i chould get away with the lex thottle body and run safc 2 but i thinks wiht the q45 will out flow the shit out of my head

Well, I finally started pulling the head off todayafter school... first day in a long time that it hasn't rained!!
Almost got far enough to pull the head off, but got stuck when trying to get the downpipe off - it was being a bitch.
But now all I have to do is pull the bottom lines of the turbo and pull it off then the head will come off! I don't know if I should replace anything else right now... I'll probably buy new injector seals (they were pretty brittle) and get the intake cleaned. I dont know what else to look for really though - except for the typical "replace all the gaskets and hoses" stuff.
Hopefully the rain will hold off for a few days and I'll have it fixed by the weekend!

What about those ebay ones, aren't those only available in a t4 flange.

02-06-2006, 06:38 PM
Just do it yourself with a dremel...You'll go through a ton of bits and take alot of time, but it's far cheaper than extrude honing
Stock manifold will support over 500rwhp anyways...
Ebay ones are t4 flange, too much trouble since you already got a bolt-on turbo

The gasket was actually still on pretty good shape, there was just a little bit of damage on the exhaust side near the #6 cyl (typical). The head isn't really warped at all - could hardly see under the straight edge. At the shop they said they only have to mill it a few thou and I'll have it back tomorrow :)

Hey guys,
I'm posting to see if anyone knows the measurements for the block and head(7m). I know that the stock hg is 1.2 mm, but we're having trouble finding what the stock measurements are for the rebuild. So far I haven't seen anything in th repair manual about these speces. Also, what point are you supposed to measure from? If anyone knows that would be great because i need to know what size mhg to order and i don't want to raise/lower compression.
The guy i bought it from said it had been rebuilt, but i don't think it has so i have no idea if the head or block have already been machined(or not).

As far as I know 1jz cars were never imported to north america.

89TSoup
02-25-2006, 08:59 PM
Here's what i know;
the 1jz-gte was a 2.5L twin turbo (280hp i think) it was a replacement for the 7m engine in 1989. I don't know if it was the only engine available after 89 or if japanese consumers had the choice of the 1j & the 7m.
The 1j is a predecessor to the 2j-gte that is in the mkiv supra.
The 7m-gte is a 3.0L turbo or NA motor.
The 1J was never available in north america but since it puts out more than the 7M stock people use it because of it's reliability because they don't know how to maintenance their 7m's properly.
I don't know if this is true but i think the 7m is capable of more hp because of the displacement .
