  1. I have one from a GTE if that makes a difference.
  2. Check the lambda sensor plug as they're also a tired these days and the car will struggle to recover back to idle while running rich. Best thing to do is unplug it and test to see if improves.
  3. I'm currently selling my original UK-Spec Supra 2JZ as I have acquired a forged engine for future power goals. The engine has done 118k miles and has never missed an oil change. When I purchased the car 11 years ago, it had FSH and I've always stayed on top of servicing since. The car was originally auto and was changed to BPU auto around 10 years ago. Around 2 years ago it was changed to 6sp single turbo running 600whp. It has relatively new valve stem oil seals, water pump and oil filter house seal. The engine still has the factory seal as it's never been opened. It doesn't smoke or have any suspect taps or knocking noises. SRD fitted 264 cams which will come with the engine. It was also mapped by @Mike2JZ at SRD for the single turbo set up. I can provide videos of the engine running and also power runs on the dyno which show no smoke when under load. Can throw in the UK inlet and TB if needed. Engine is located in Dorset. 5k
  4. Thank you mate. And, likewise. Didn't get home until gone midnight, but it was worth the trip! Your 2J-MR2 project is absolutely mega. Definitely keep us updated on it mate.
  5. Might take a cruise down for this. Will have to see nearer the time as I'm probably going to do IOW Takeover earlier that month.
  6. RZ, UK/Euro-Spec, USDM, who cares. Turn it into whatever floats your boat. Good luck with the build. Be sure to start a build thread and document it all down as in years to come it's nice to be able to refer back to it .
  7. Inlet and DBW is in, wired up and the car is running. Had a bit of an issue on first start up. It was cranking, but not starting... and then it let out a big backfire. I thought to myself "well, fcuk. That's interesting lol". I checked a few things, but couldn't see anything glaringly obvious, but suspected it was a trigger issue as it was getting fuel and spark, but you could hear it was combusting out of time. I checked over the cam sensor wires, but again, everything looked fine. I reached out to @Mike2JZ and he kindly dialled in to take a looksy. Mike checked the trigger scope and asked if there was a chance the front and rear sensor plugs could have accidentally been swapped around. I said I couldn't rule it out as I had extended the wires meaning they would no longer marry up to their original locations from the loom. He did a quick test and swapped the ignition timing around and flipped it 180 degrees and we gave it another go. Boom! She was alive! Map Daddy came through like the legend he is. With the car running, it was quickly time to undo that and start getting the turbo off. I've offered up the new 6870 and it's not a lot of work to modify the downpipe from the 4 inch flange to the cone reducer flange to fit the Precision. I've had a brief conversation with Lee at SRD and will be ordering the flange tomorrow. I'll probably order two as I need one for the current recirc downpipe and another should I make another downpipe for a screamer configuration.
  8. I would imagine the Euro and USDM Spec Supra's will have compatible cats.
  9. Hi Shane, Any background info on who built the bottom end and what parts were used for the 3.4 stroker/bearings/etc. Also who built it. Is the head stock? Cheers.
  10. I always thought they were stripped back and polished, tbh.
  11. I'm nitpicking a bit, but personally don't think you can beat the OEM viscous/shroud design for efficiency and reliability.
  12. Nice spec! I bet you can't wait to get your hands on it. Only thing I would consider changing would be going back to the stock fan shroud and the viscous, but that's just me. Great purchase.
  13. What's the full spec and history behind it?
