  1. Thanks for all the responses guys, really appreciate the input. I have to say though, this thread is just making me even more nervous! If it was easier for me to put in the non-vvti, I would have without question but the hassle of having to get rid of two incomplete cars instead of one is just a pain. The VVTi soarer is a complete running car and has all the bits I require as well as some nice modifications I would have liked to do anyway. Going non-VVTi is still feasible, it's just gonna be a huge headache - in the short term at least. As for management, I've been looking around and found that Haltech do the Elite 2000 and can be bought with the appropriate harness to make it plug and play I think. It's not cheap but I've not seen many other options unless someone would like to share some with me. http://www.haltech.com/toyota-soarer-jzz30/ I've spoken to James Hart and he's a top guy. It's just unfortunate for me that he's never done a 1JZ VVTi conversion before so he's unfamiliar with the wiring. It may just be the case that I'll have to stick with BPU power for now.
  2. Hi everyone! I’ll try to keep it short. I have NA Manual Supra. It needs to go turbo. I have two complete Soarers which I can use as a donor car. One is a 1jz non-VVTi auto and the other is a 1jz VVTi r154 manual. I’ll be keeping the r154 regardless of which engine I use. My aim is to have the car around 600bhp in the not too distant future. My question is quite simply; which engine should I use? Reliability, aftermarket support for big power, ease of conversion, ECU options and VVTi mapping and cost are all factors which I'm having to consider. Things to note: • I’ll be putting in the engine with a friend but will be looking to get the wiring done elsewhere. • I don’t know where I can take the car to get the VVTi wiring sorted. • I’ll be keeping the R154 and A02b diff, which means if I use the non VVTi engine I’ll have to get rid of 2 non-running cars. • Mileage is considerably lower on the non VVTi. • Initial cost of putting in the VVTi would be bit lower overall (I think) as the non-VVTi Soarer can be sold as a full running car. I really love the way the VVTi drives at stock power levels and this was my engine of choice. This only changed as I found out the wiring is more difficult to do and there’s not much information available on that. Also, it seems people get big power more easily with the non-VVTi and big power VVTi builds are significantly less common and less well documented. I’d really appreciate any help, especially from those who have experienced the associated problems with these conversions before. I’ve been looking for information online for quite some time now however I can’t find anything that is solid or recent. Many thanks!
  3. Hi, I'm after a half carbon TRD spoiler. I have a TRD spoiler fitted at the moment but its a complete fibreglass copy, if anyone happens to have a carbon blade and endcaps i'd happily buy them instead. If you can help please message me. Thanks.

    Hi new member

    Hi guys, I'm once again a supra owner but first time forum user. I've had a few soarers in the past and a mk3 supra 1jz aero top. I've now bought a mk4 white NA manual which I have plans for. Hopefully will get some pictures up soon and show the progress I've made so far since owning the car. Thanks
