[tevan]

LOL you ricer..they look cool

[SW-21turbo]

Ur just jealouse because mine turn on hahah jk jk but yea i got a switch installed that turns them on and off

[Backwoodz Tuner]

cool cool, they look pretty good.

[Domesticated]

mine are wired into the dimmer, and they match my stock gauges theme

[SW-21turbo]

they will look better as soon as i get my damn car cleaned its filthy

[TatMatt]

Nice I am rocking some Prosports I like them. They will look better when I upgrade all dash light to red LEDs

[SW-21turbo]

same here m dash lights look lame

[Brian]

looks great. I love the black out gagues.

[SW-21turbo]

thanks.. theyre nice but the top one isnt as smoked as the boost gauge which kinda grinds my gears but its still nice

[Brian]

yeah, i'm anal like that too. Everything has to match for me too

[SW-21turbo]

Exactly but im not really worried about it engine mods are 1st on my list i dont care if it looks like shit but as long as my engine can back up my car i dont care

[Brian]

exactly.

BTW, didn't know if you realized, the word turbo in your sig is misspelled

[tevan]

exactly.

BTW, didn't know if you realized, the word turbo in your sig is misspelled

ROFL yes he did i made the sig at like 4am :shock: lol ohh well though his car not even running yet ill fix it when it gets boosted LOL

[Brian]

:lol:

I've had those nights.

[SW-21turbo]

LOL its almost there

[Brian]

what else do you have to do to it?

[SW-21turbo]

Set up my intercooler and get my down pipe and dump tube in and run my piggy back

[Brian]

What brand of piggyback are you using?

[SW-21turbo]

Greddy E-Manage

[Brian]

nice.

You going to tune yourself?

[SW-21turbo]

TurboEp3 is doing tuning i did the labor like replace manifold with turbo one change fuel pump,injectors and stuff like that

[Brian]

I like doing all the wrench work myself too. Got no clue how to tune though.

I saw a MR2 with a side scoop for the intake on it. It didn't look too bad. Always liked the look of the MR2, don't think I'd like working on one though

[SW-21turbo]

It's a paing trust me but I think it's all worth it its a fun little car..gots potential a lot of it..and yea i plan to make mine from a 91 to a 94..the original jdm mr2 =)

[Brian]

Gotta love JDM. I'm into JDM, I just don't have a car to do anything JDM too. Right now it's EDM for me :lol:

I'm thinking about doing a CRX SI B18 swap, or a DC Integra GSR with the JDM front clip

[SW-21turbo]

LOL me im not so into hondas its not that i dont like them its just THERES TOO MANY!!! I like being unique thats why i went with the mr2 and pray for my next car to be a 96 Supra turbo or twin

[Brian]

Would be nice. I like Supras.

I've got a Cressida shell at my parents house that I was thinking about putting a 2JZ engine in it(I think that is the twin turbo engine code)

[SW-21turbo]

Yea it is...What im wondering is which motor the 1jz or the 2jz has more power??

[Brian]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_JZ_engine

Good place for info

[SW-21turbo]

I checked an it says they both have 320hp

[Brian]

Don't really have the slightest idea about Toyota engines.

I just know that their twin turbo engines are awesome

[SW-21turbo]

Yea but i heard a supra with a single big mofo turbo will fcking fly

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Yeah I remember readin in Sport Compact of them getting over 1000 HP, them motors are tough as nails, extra boooost friendly. There bad ass just expensive to work on. That's why I'm just a notha Honda guy.

[SW-21turbo]

And Im a toyota guy and thats going to be my next car hopefully too many hondas around i like being unique

[Domesticated]

a 2jzgte is used more for drag because the turbo kicks in later and hold higher boost longer, the 2jzgtte uses two medium sized turbos that run at a lower rpm, but dont stay as high into the redline. better for daily driving. same power output, it just depends on where you want it, plus the 2jzgte is generally a much lighter engine with all the do dads under the hood. and its a lot easier to control and tune, less boost spikes

[Brian]

right on.

Well, I'm not going to do the swap for a couple years, so that gives me plenty of time to research

[SW-21turbo]

well then that is my answer im buying the single turbo supra

[Brian]

yessir.

I think i want to pick up a 77 Celica and have some fun with that

[SW-21turbo]

ima pick up a 96 supra mkiv hopefully next year in payments though

[silver_echo]

btw watch out for the head gasket issue... OEM did not torque them right... easily fixed by removing head gasket, putting in new one and torqueing it right

[SW-21turbo]

Remind me in a year or so
