DelSolSweetie Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Soo after a couple years of not making up my mind on a project car I finally did Chris is getting one too We pick these up Saturday first is my new baby: 1992 Toyota Supra Had a 7mge but the previous owner tried to start it up after sitting and tore up the rings so it lost compression in 3 & 4.. currently has a 7mgte with the turbo removed but does have a slight knock sunroof automatic currently TEMS interior is is great shape cept the leather ripped off the passenger seat from the previous owner letting his dog sit in the seat all the time.. foam is still good though bumper is a little messed up but nothing serious.. only rust is a spec of surface rust by the door handle the back rims come with the car.. they are '93 rims.. the tires were bad so the guy put the steelies on the back This shall be Chris's: 1987 Toyota Supra Automatic No rust interior is in great shape a/c works no engine problems.. doesnt smoke or anything.. almost no noise from the motor we are also getting an extra tranny and 2 extra motors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelSolSweetie Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 these fat ass cars weigh 3500+lbs update on '92: motor in the car is a 7mgte with the turbo stuff removed.. runs.. sounds great at idle.. has a slight knock at higher rpms the original motor, a 7mge, doesnt have compression in two cylinders.. the story of that is when the guy bought it he told the kid he was buying it from NOT to crank it cause it'd been sitting for about a year.. well kid cranked it so i ordered the new rings today for $20 (closeout sale at rockauto FTW) going to take out the turbo motor and drop the orginal back in.. hopefully have a reliable car to play in for a while pick up cars saturday..more pics after a good scrubbing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchool007 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Those can be fun cars if done right. One of my friends in HS had a factory turbo with the targa top that was pretty sweet. They are heavy cars though...plan on putting them on a diet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 Kinda hard to.. they make 2 CF pieces for them which are really CF covered fiberglass have to keep majority of interior and full glass to not get moved up a class in Redline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you purchase these mainly to compete with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 yah.. its going to be streetable but be built to mainly drift but be competitive in road racing (redline and nasa probably) its going to get a 1jz.. they make CF/aluminum driveshafts which it will be getting interior will get worked on a bit.. the fully electronic seats in both cars weigh 50-70 lbs a piece i believe.. could be heavier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelSolSweetie Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Not yet.. was told last night interior is quite rare.. might keep it and then at the track swap out the front seats for something the doesnt weigh 70lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchool007 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Looks like you will have to recover the seats to fix the leather if you keep those in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 well yah I already planned on that should be easy.. foam is still in very good condition.. just the material got pulled off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be nice once it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 i'm gonig to redo it with stock material.. thats the only year they did interior like that so i'll keep it.. probably pull seats out for races Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Injection Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Is the 1jz as bulletproof as the 2jz is? I'd dont know that much about toyota cars, I've just been around a couple when they put down 1500hp on the dyno. Was sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 yeah pretty much. and its a lot more rev happier than the 2jz. its like comparing a b16 and h22. they are both reliable and can take numerous beatings, the h22(2jz) just has a bit more grunt to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd dont know that much about toyota cars, I've just been around a couple when they put down 1500hp on the dyno. Was sick. the 1jz stock rods are actually stronger then the 2jz because they are a bit shorter.. one guy put down 700 at the wheel with a bent 1jz rod (ill see if i can find the thread again.. had pics and proof).. besides that and the 1jz being a little more rev happy there arnt too many differences (the 1jz does not have as much torque either but its not impossible to get torque out of them).. the 2jz has more displacement and can get more power but i dont need a dyno queen lol I can put the 2jz cams in the 1jz if i feel like it.. head/block of each one bolts right up to eachother also the 1jz is becoming very popular in drifting in japan.. they are putting it in everything (bimmers included) my problem is I want to keep the twin set up but put down decent numbers on a dyno just cause (probably only run it about 500-550 at the wheel.. it is a tank after all).. most people go to single turbos right away and im not a turbo expert so i dont even know where to start with finding efficient twins that make good enough power.. people who have twins normally just tweak the setup up a little bit but dont build them and are plenty happy with the power they have.. mine will probably get new everything just so i KNOW nothing will happen to it... road course/drag/drift is not gonig to be easy on that motor lol most people also dont drift or do any road racing in their mkiii's cause they are either cheap, scared, or think cause its 'heavy' it wont work.. but the few people who ARE doing it are doing it well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrIaN EG2 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 i actually found out that 1jz's and 2jz's can get crank walk.. not as common as the 7bolt mitsubishi fail but it still happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
