supturbo Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 After being told many times to post pics-lol I finally went out and snapped a few - She still needs a few things here and there but as she sits its just a shell and motor. It is street worthy with all the lights and things working but I pulled out all the rest - no need since its strictly a stop light 2 stop light have fun car. I know I am probably going to get some flames seeing the body is in super good shape - I took a whole summer to do the body work to get it straight before hitting the paint booth. I will probably drive this until I can get my hands on a targa Supra who knows.ANYWAY here is my link - http://s1107.photobucket.com/home/Supturbo 1jz complete swap Tiger from ebayintercooler kit was also from ebaydriveshaft was from shaftmasters - Standard Supra shaft 1310's joints to the specific length - Redrill the conquest pinion flange to mate up with the Supra diff flangeGriff. radiator - Spal 3000 fanpower steering line - Driftmotion.comhad to make the crazy downpipe and turbo flange - was a real pita due to the motor mountsbeat the hell out of the tunnel to get the R154 tranny to fit- do yourself a favor and remove the metal skins inside the tunnel- I didnt and well I have popeye arms now- lolIt really wasn't that bad of a swap labor wise, but trying to figure out were to put some things and route this and that sucks--Word of caution- the thing will nickel and dime you to death.All in All though the car is AMAZINGLY FAST and was well worth the time and $$ spent. Let me know what you guys think- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supturbo Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hey guys need some suggestions, This weekend was playing around with one of the neighbors- He has 2009 Chevy Cobalt SS running at 20+ psi- I think he said it has something like 260hp. I we are out and "not incriminating" hehe - I blow him away in the 1/4 easily - However when we going at say 55 and we both gun it I have to back down at ~110 due the the front end feeling unstable. I know that it is going to get light but nowhere like my other car. I think it has the stock struts on her still with aftermarket springs. With the 1jz I wonder if putting in new or aftermarket struts would help. Any Suggestions?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOHO Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Do you still have the sway bar? I was trapping 108..109 at the track and still felt steady...and I have NO sway bar...LOL ...Not sure chief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supturbo Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I left the sway bar off - You still running stock struts?I know it was a little windy and we were traveling north with open fields on either side but -- it still felt like poo.
