Project SC : 2JZGTE ECU Wiring into SC300 Guide
To prep the SC for the GTE swap, I’ve sourced a MT GTE ECU and a Aristo ( JDM 2JZGTE ) engine harness. For those doing this swap into a SC300, the wiring is a lot easier than the typical S-Chassis wiring in that many of the vehicle’s functions and wires are the same. Given […]
Case Studies : Clocking a Turbo
After my diagnosis on the CT26 turbocharger, I’ve determined that the best path would be to service and sell the turbo, rather than put it on the 2JZ as a starter kit. To do this and get the maximum return however, I’ve decided to just sell as a replacement MKIII Supra turbo. Problem is, the […]
Project 240SX : Fortune favors the bold.
Well, it’s been a while since I’ve updated my blog here due to this unfortunate accident. I crashed, I’ve gotten over it but my back hasn’t. It was only a matter of time I suppose, given the abuse the S14 had been taking at the track. Fortunately, I’m relatively okay and I’m pretty fortunate to […]

Case Studies – Project Supra hits the Dyno!
When we last left our 1997 Anniversary Edition Supra, it was just getting used to calling to it’s new owner and had been modded for the first time in its life. Because the car is so new, my friend is adamant about going slow and keeping it BPU for a while. He even goes so […]
Piggyback Heaven – Installing a SAFC in a MKIV Supra TT
I’ve died and gone to piggyback heaven in the early stages of 2012, as a good friend recently picked up a MINT 1997 Anniversary Edition Toyota Supra Turbo. I have always loved these cars and the insane amount of over-engineering that went into the legendary 2JZGTE. Since this car is probably one of the ONLY […]
Aligning at Treds
A good friend of mine just opened his doors at Treds Alignment in Hayward, which presented me with the perfect opportunity to hash out any lingering stance issues. Jesse, Butch and Chris are as cool as they come, and provide top-notch support and service. Butch is probably one of the most experienced and knowledgeable alignment guys in […]
OH NO0OEZ!!11
The freight company calls with some bad news, it appears as though my good fortune in finding a 2JZ may have run out. My motor looks to have fallen off the pallet during shipping and according to the warehouse worker “is pissing all over the floor” Time to file a claim and see where this […]
