    Need Help or I am going to sell if for scrap!!

    I was one of the first to 1jz swap a FC rx-7 years ago, it had a r154 behind it and loved it. As for the lexus, I thought about a r154 but I would eventually make too much power for it so the v160 seems like the best option, or mybe a 6l85 GM auto box. It has a 67mm on it now, so with a trans...

    Need Help or I am going to sell if for scrap!!

    The lexus is still running a supra auto a340e, same as the stock one. I killed 2 trannys when the car still had a v8, so I doubt I will be using it very long. The swap wasnt too bad, but its not done. The wiring is a super b****, using a supra AEM, harness and mating it to the chassis harness...

    Need Help or I am going to sell if for scrap!!

    This doesn't seem like a factory tuned car. It's slower than my 89 Camry with 300k miles... I don't think a factory tune could run like this.... Maybe I'm wrong? If so this thing is going on eBay.... Slowest car I've ever owned.

    i hate to ask but..

    Sounds like a rod or a dropped valve to me. Judgeing by the speed of it its going to be something bottom end related, or a forigen object in one of the cylinders. Its pretty hard to make that call as to what it is via video. Whatever it is its not good..
